Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

In a meeting today and a co-worker referred to Claude Code as his "thought partner" and I do believe I felt my soul leave my body for a moment.

This is really good. Please read and subscribe to @charliejane.bsky.social's newsletter.

This is the way.

My man looking like Tor Johnson making an appearance on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 host segment.

Right now!

At a watch party for the Rise Up, Sing Out concert instead of looking at whatever shit show is going on in DC

Truth.

Scaffolding is the Merrick Garland of Robert Muellers

Exactly how often *do* your menu options change?

The new Meg Elison book came today! I love when I pre-order books and then forget about them. Feels like a gift.

Hey, that's Andrew Robinson (Garak) from #star-trek-ds9 in episode 5 of Spider-Noir!

Imagining my microwave oven has a "haiku mode" for a timer: "beep, i tell you, beep your beverage is ready drink it while it’s hot"

Looking forward to this season of The Bear where every episode is just Carm going to a different Chicago museum and thoughtfully taking in the exhibits.

This is some excellent reporting on an anti-transgender event that took place yesterday in Redwood City and the heartening protest in response. I appreciate those who came out in defense of trans folks.

Current mood: "I love to clean filthy litter boxes for my best pal, Stimpy." My guy couldn't wait to hop in and defile all my hard work.

"The first movie ever made was released in 1887. That movie is called 'Air Bud,' and it is about a dog who is good at passing a three-dimensional sphere through a two-dimensional hoop, which is illegal."

It's Primary Election day in California! Our next governor will be one of: establishment Dem who will do good in some ways but also disappoint us in others, reformed progressive billionaire who probably won't know how to govern, or Trump lickspittle who sounds like Matt Berry. Choose wisely! 1/2

Happy Pride, friends.

He posted this after voting to defund schools that have any policy whatsoever that "advances concepts" related to gender identity. That includes bathrooms, locker rooms, even possibly having a trans teacher state their pronouns. Shame.

The mouse port has to be in here somewhere...

Wow

As per usual, Becerra’s answer to this question is always a mix of weak-willed centrism and bothsidesism, as he says we have to “follow league rules” and bla bla bla Vote Steyer, my fellow Californians 🫡

#JustWatched Marty, Life is Short. Such a sweet documentary about Martin Short, and by extension, so many of my longtime SCTV faves

You only have a few days left to tell the FCC that they should stop trying to force broadcasters to classify trans and nonbinary people as inappropriate for children to see on TV skepchick.org/2026/05/the-...

Happy "The Day We Died" Day to Fringe fans.

My god.

Honestly, I think the best answer to "What is a woman?" is "No, What is the player at second base" but, seriously, this piece by Sonja Black is an excellent deep dive into the ontology of "the Question".

<Sad fiddle music>Dear Martha, the line to acquire concert merchandise still endlessly wends its way before us. Reports that light sticks and member shirts are in short supply and may no longer be available. ARMY grows restless but perseveres. We are determined to see the light of another day. #BTS

Laser Fritz does not approve. #caturday

We need a bathroom ban for men of the cloth. (See how ridiculous that is?)

I endorse this idea.

Proposed: The Roku's Basilisk Channel - movies to die for.

I'm just read the chapter on Mary, Queen of Scots, and her relationship with Queen Elizabeth I in @eleanormorton.bsky.social's excellent "Life Lessons from Historical Women" and it made me think of this.

What a dump.

Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance.” Moxon’s Shaving Cream: “Never exonerate malice simply because it is also ignorant.”

If "leopards eating people's faces" doesn't do it for you, here's a May the Fourth analogy that might work.

May Ted Forth be with you! Francesco Marciuliano

I need to get up, but he doesn't want to move. Somebody please come over and shake the treats bag.

Convo with therapist after a challenging week: T: If you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself about how things turned out? M: I'd go back to 2016 and tell people who said SCOTUS didn't matter about Dobbs, Chevron, Skrmetti, and VRA decisions. T: <sigh>I think you're missing the point.

Just watched Nuremberg. Not exactly a feel good film, but very relevant.

Why are you trans? (wrong answers only) For the free shipping.

Suggested slogan for the Democratic Party: "Move fast and fix things."

Confession time: a couple of days ago I wished a happy birthday to an old friend I had recently reconnected with after a decades-long gap, and she thanked me and commented on my great memory and I didn't have the heart to tell her I remembered because it is the same date as Hitler's birthday.

kaiju (but make it haiku) Who's that? Gamera? A giant flying turtle? Grab my camera!

I don't know if it's my neurospiciness or lack of cultural education or what, but I have a hard time connecting emotionally with artwork. For example, I was at a museum this weekend where I saw this Jackson Pollack painting, and all I could think was, "gee, that looks like a pokeball at the top."
