S2E23 of Sherlock. I think this is the first time I've seen Lucy Liu given a chance to act with real, raw emotion (other than fury in Kill Bill). I have no idea why she's not given these opportunies more often, she absolutely killed it!

In praise of actress Sarah Goldberg: She shows up in Elementary as an assistant. She's meek, hesitant, does greatfor a side character. You would never suspect the absolute brilliance she was capable of when given the lead in Barry. Just astounding.

My reaction watching "Weird", the biopic of Weird Al. Awww. Comedic spin, makes sense. Huh, that's... Is that accurate? Seems extremely coincidental. I had NO IDEA they dated! Okay I'm pretty sure that's wrong. This is insane... I KNOW that's wrong. What is happening???

#bravenewworld it's so weird that Anthony Mackie is great and would be great as Captain America. But for some reason the writers at Marvel don't give his character the moral conundrums that make Captain America so admirable. The best he had was his TV series, which was 85% amazing.

www.importantcontext.news/p/about-that... It's amazing how these antivax guys are literally one big circlejerk.

Hey Tiktok! I don't need all these testosterone booster ads! My testosterone is fine, and I do not suffer any of the symptoms of having low testosterone! Why do you think I need this??

My favorite part of Instagram recommending my likes to everyone who follows me? Now I don't like ANYTHING.

the new dianne feinstein biopic is excellent, not sure why they decided to call it nosferatu though

You know what's crazy? I tried watching Agatha All Along on Disney+. Almost 10 minutes of ads for a 38 minute episode. 1/5th of the time... ads. That's worse than cable!!! I hate pirating media. I want to support good television, actors, etc. But THIS?? Unreal. 🏴‍☠️

@thestorygraph.com the pause feature is a brilliant idea! Thank you!

I finally switched away from Google search to Duckduckgo. It is unfathomable how bad Google search has gotten. Like... What are they thinking? The AI is frequently wrong, and the ads are just abominable. Specifically the shopping ads... It's frequently similar to what I'm looking for, but not it. 👎

My health insurance story. In 2014 I was in an earthquake, which set off panic disorder, which turned into schizophrenia. I had 0 debts, maybe 5 or 6 thousand saved up. In 5 years I had $40k in medical debt as I bounced between jobs, I had health insurance the majority of the time. Sometimes UHC!

I saw the trailer for the Snow White remake. I don't know why but I fully expected all of the dwarves to be Patton Oswald.

Wicked was SPECTACULAR.

You've gotta hand it to Trump. First term he was like "let's pretend to do things the right way". Second term - does whatever the hell he wants. Trump Names Charles Kushner as Pick for Ambassador to France www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/u...

My prediction:the Pixel 9 will totally flop. Nobody wants AI. I will no longer continue with the Pixel line, after being with them since the Nexus days. AI is the opposite of what I want. And the Gemini replacing Google Assistant was so bad I had to delete it off my phone.

#thepenguin review. Colin Farrell is amazing. A complete transformation. He does so good, and it's worth watching for his performance alone. Cristin Milioti isn't good. She's not great, she's not even amazing. She's *fuckin' spectacular*. It is one of the best acting performances I've ever seen.

If you see this, post a picture you took of a concert.

#helldivers2 crashing a lot more for anyone else? Like a 50% increase since I updated Windows today?

I'm calling it now, at the rate #Netanyahu is escalating I predict he will use small nuclear missiles within 10 months.

After Amari Marsh had a miscarriage, South Carolina prosecutors jailed her without bond, charged her with murder/homicide by child abuse, and threatened her with life imprisonment. The criminalization of pregnancy loss in red states after Dobbs: www.cnn.com/2024/09/23/h...

Does anyone else feel like they just go home cooked meal to home cooked meal just to get to the next time they can eat out?

Got a personalized Google ad to buy a FlexJet Gulfstream private jet. @ggl.bsky.social your AI for ads is broken... BAD lol. #Poverty-R-Us

RIP Jake Paul. I never thought I'd say this, but I feel sorry for him.

Killed two dreadnoughts with my pickaxe this morning #justDRGthings #RockAndStone

There are few pleasures so pure as finishing the NYT mini crossword in one fell swoop. All rows, no columns baby!
