I'm so friggin' tired of bald-faced evil. I get that none of this is new in human history, but the constant validation of selfishness and cruelty is so exhausting. What is the rock bottom here?

I miss when social media felt like sitting around the bar with 100 screenwriters and gossiping about the industry or joking with a bunch of gays about pop culture.

More institutions are deciding some platforms are no longer worth inhabiting. There’s a point where “staying to reach people” becomes "being shaped by the venue." This threshold passes silently. By the time the platform is shaping your tone and incentives, your decision is already made.

Here are your property tax details. For the average household, the proposed combined 2.2% residential increase works out to $91.53 per household annually. About $7.63 more per month. About 25 cents a day.

Robyn has released a third of her new album and it’s easily her best work since Body Talk. Summer 2026, here we come!

Honestly just learned that Vecna and Emily In Paris used to date and that's fucking wild but also tracks.

If straight culture treated sexual connection as an important foundational element of romantic relationships as opposed to some kind of treat withheld after a period of courtship, a lot of couples would be much happier. Queer people get this.

I’m not here to pick on anyone who didn’t like HEATED RIVALRY (or liked it for different reasons) but the “it gets better” here troubles me. Young men hooking up is not new or strange. Using sex to find love is real. Our culture insists gay sex is wrong or dirty or “porny” and NO, I reject that 😡

It's strange rewatching old Tim Burton. So often, his films are gothic fever dreams with bizarre spatial logic, convenient character action, and continuity errors. And yet flashes of brilliance — terrifying, funny, and sexy. The environments feel real, the colours rich. Cinema Sins could never.

Jan 1: “2026 is gonna be my year!” Jan 6: *catching myself dazed on the overpass, staring at the tracks as a 5pm commuter train cuts through darkness*

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

asked my six year old niece what was wrong with phones and she said "people keep looking at them and don't listen to you" then asked "so what would you do about it" and she said "feed the phones to crocodiles" so her platform has my full support

As a person with poor directional navigation, the TTC's decision to make all of their subway maps line-specific and horizontal feels like Jigsaw-in-SAW levels of trolling.

“I don’t know why no one wants to date me!” says guy who shows no active interest in anyone but himself.

The Comeback returns in March and I can’t wait.

When the smoke clears, I think we can safely say "Dear Billy" was the best episode of Stranger Things. Sadie Sink's performance, the Kate Bush needle drop, and the show's decision to go into darker territory with her story created life-or-death stakes for the characters and set up Vecna for endgame.

"Deadline says that theaters couldn’t technically charge for tickets for the Stranger Things finale, because it would interfere with the cast’s contractual terms for residuals. So instead, theatergoers paid for concessions vouchers that reserved them a seat for the big goodbye."

Stranger Things Finale Gay Observations: 1) Vickie’s complete disappearance from Robyn’s life after 18 months is accurate lesbian representation. 2) Will’s flash-forward to that weird ‘70s(?) gay(?) bar makes sense when you realize 1989-1993 was maybe not the best time to party in the community.

Learning Stranger Things lost its original director of photography (Tim Ives) after season three makes the entire visual shift of the series (and the loss of that distinctive eighties aesthetic) make much more sense.

For what it's worth, I didn't mind the Stranger Things finale, particularly the epilogue. I'm sure the Duffers are breathing a sigh of relief today — not a Game of Thrones finale, but also not a Six Feet Under.

See ya next year, ya fucken nerds!

I always feel like there’s an exciting gay party that I’m missing but then I go to a gay party and I immediately want to leave.

Sadie Sink and Caleb McLaughin sell the hell out of every scene they're in — together and apart. Highlights of both season 4 and 5, imho.

This is another reminder for you to watch North of North. (I think it’s on Netflix in the US?)

Sitting next to a straight couple holding hands and the girlfriend is staring longingly at the guy while he’s staring longingly at a television playing the World Series recap behind her.

Gays are wild because they'll post this without any self-awareness.

BoJack Horseman is one of my all-time favourite shows, and somehow Netflix never used its algorithm to say, "Hey JP! Raphael Bob-Waksberg has a new show about family dysfunction starring Abbi Jacobson, Paul Reiser, Max Greenfield, and Nicole Byer! You should check it out."

Even if it’s high fantasy to imagine queer coming out stories going well in the Reaganite eighties, I appreciate The Duffers using Stranger Things the way Tarantino used Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to right some of the wrongs of history.

Oh Lord, between Heated Rivalry, Pluribus and Stranger Things, my dreams are wild right now.

Sending love to anyone who struggles during the holidays. This can be an incredibly alienating/triggering time of year, but know there is no “right” way to experience the season. You’ve got this.❤️

Perhaps this is a good time to point out that a show like Heated Rivalry couldn’t be generated by artificial intelligence because it would immediately get shut down by content guidelines.

Wild idea — it’s almost like good art needs to be transgressive and you can’t really do that with ideological safety wheels on.

NATURE IS HEALING 🍃

I’ve had a bunch of folks be like, “What do you think of Heated Rivalry’s success?” and my answer has been the same — always happy to see queer Canadian content succeed, but exhausted because getting queer Canadian content made is still nearly impossible despite it being a massive cultural export.

This is what posting on Bluesky feels like #pluribus

So the extra cost is AI - and if you turn off the AI in your subscription it goes back down to 79.00. Mine will be renewed in Jan and this is what I set up.

I did this, but you can also do a one time software purchase with no subscription. It's so underhanded that you have to go in and manually opt out of this stuff.

Honestly, our government needs to do something about these ridiculous subscription price jumps. We can't keep having like massive increases in subscription fees without qualitative improvements to service.
