a million and one reasons to be furious about the autism/tylenol press conference but telling pregnant women they should really really "tough it out" rather than get pain relief is the one that's ... wow it makes me mad

wording of this is very interesting! we pulled him because we thought he said a bad thing BUT we've had conversations with him about it BUT we're going to imply that we scolded him BUT we're not really going to say why we changed our mind

important to be clear that kimmel coming back is not necessarily a post-rapture event because no one seems able to say with confidence whether the rapture is more of a taco tuesday or a humpday thing

death of cultural criticism followed by me on the new fall tv is really sending me

over on tiktok I have discovered that the rapture is happening on tuesday* *possibly wednesday

people keep reposting this but cmon it’s made up. the stock hasn’t “collapsed” (it’s barely down) and there are precisely no numbers on how many subscription cancellations there have been

hard to even untangle which generational catastrophe is which but destroying the ability for companies to hire with h1-b visas will truly take generations to recover from

“Carr, fully aware of Trump’s stated desire that Kimmel should be the ‘next’ network late-night host to lose his show, grabbed on to the tiniest thread of grievance and spun it into a direct assault on Kimmel, ABC and the First Amendment.” Yes. Thank you for saying this. Yes.

fascinating that Fallon and Stewart, and to a much lesser extent Meyers, all landed on the same bit: obsequious flattery because trump could cancel them I’m not sure if I find irony poisoning to be enough of a comedic release right now, you know?

australia’s public broadcaster being called ABC is leading to some real who’s on first exchanges in the bluey threads about people wanting to cancel their disney subscriptions

am trying to write this damn chapter about sleepytime and i swear to GOD, it STILL GETS ME EVERY FUCKING TIME EVEN AFTER DAYS OF FRAME BY FRAME LOOKING AT IT fucking sleepytime, and i'll be clear: i blame gustav holst!!

i suspect bluey is THE sticking point for many, many subscriptions

"There is plenty of humor in Germany, more than enough. But we do not permit ourselves to be ridiculed." www.abramsbooks.com/product/outr...

uh, is there a vast image out of spiritus mundi troubling my sight? just me? anyone else?

time for fallon to take a bold stance of solidarity with [holds finger to ear] hm

Nexstar is currently awaiting approval from the FCC and FTC on a $6.2 Billion acquisition of TEGNA.

reality shows should NOT have actual music budgets, all reality shows should use temu crooning set over synth I-V-vi-IV progressions I should NOT be hearing a hyper sincere coffee shop AU dude cover of “I Want You to Want Me”

Oof. Rolling Stone dot com about to find out how many people were mostly subscribing for Alan Sepinwall.

If you enjoyed Rolling Stone’s reporting and output over the past four years or so, it is a fact that it would not be what it is without @lisatozzi.bsky.social That is just a fact, so hire her immediately if you want that for your media outlet, k?

there are many many things I admire about Alan’s work, including the fact that he basically invented the modern landscape of my field he’s also incredibly, almost improbably fair. If he doesn’t like your show he will write that in the most respectful, thoughtful way he can.

everyone please join me in a very hearty WHAT THE FUCK

the pitt meant so much to me this year, i'm so grateful for it

is the bit that nate bargatze is having a stroke

THIS IS WHY YOU CANNOT HAVE A STUPID MONEY PENALTY OH MY GOD JEFF HILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

someone please please corner tony gilroy at this emmys and ask him what he thinks about nate bargatze, i just think it would be Interesting

"fuck ice and free palestine" while the money counter falls A LITTLE ON THE NOSE DON'T WE THINK

the boys and girls club bit is so wildly ill-advised it makes the host seem to be scolding the whole show for existing it makes viewers likewise seem to deserve shame for wanting to watch an awards show?

someone should get on the emmys stage and be like, i'm rich, i'm a celebrity, i'm venmoing the boys and girls club, give me a full 90 seconds

bargatze so far really giving off a "started writing this last night and now i'm gonna double the margins on the teleprompter" mood

at the risk of pulling a David Brooks: every snack at newark airport is slightly, terribly wrong. candy but only without things that make it candy. chips, but weird shapes made of wheatgerm. kardashian protein popcorn. a bag with 3 medjool dates. a tub of banana pudding. “cacao unleashed”

reading around about a kid-safe phone (pinwheel); stumbled onto r/parentalcontrol, which I assumed was parents talking about internet safety, and is actually mostly 12yos talking about how to download apps without their parents realizing

hard to make truly anything of an ideology expressed entirely through incoherent brainrot, on any side of a political spectrum. the total loss of stability in terms of "this means something" versus "this is a joke" versus "this is a meme" means functional interpretation is futile

thinking! about! bluey!!!!!!

my poor husband, head in his hands, grappling with the ultimate nothingness that is middle schoolers saying “six seven”

a small but palpable part of why Kirk’s death has inspired so much discourse about posting is that he himself had incurable poster’s disease

sudden overwhelming realization of how many kpop demon hunters Halloween costumes I’m about to see

good morning

overheard from the other room “please. PLEASE! do you want to be Bucket Head Joe or not!”

had a really lovely time talking about Bluey on the @motherofitallpod.bsky.social podcast, where unfortunately terminal book brain caused me to ramble AT LENGTH about … Waldorf! Buddhism! 19thC objectified portrayals of motherhood! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

look I’m sorry I just need everyone to know that this is what a Dutch ambulance sounds like youtu.be/X79CajaJSe8

you can tell it's back to school season because the public library has many copies of wings of fire on the shelf (but obviously not #12, the one i was sent to retrieve)

I guess I could believe this if it were actually like “are you a trustworthy person?” “do you mean, will I just do whatever you say? no”

good morning variety.com/2025/film/gl...

very hard to hate tiktok because I woke up this morning and the algorthim said, I think you need to know that last night at a neighboring town council meeting a guy used most of his 5 minutes of public comment time to break dance in the aisle

8yo: did you accomplish your goal for today me [glancing at my word count]: ehhhh 8yo: your pokemon goal

the good lord bird was a fantastic tv show and i refuse to let it be fully memory holed!!!
