The placement at the bottom is brutal and I couldn't agree more.

That's really interesting Tommy, thanks for your feedback! I feel like something might've changed a few weeks ago, but it could've just been that I added a bad starter pack? It's hard to know! I definitely don't see half as much film stuff as I used to, and I'm more of a film guy than politics guy

I think it's a good pep talk, in a harshly realistic way: if you want to write, find a different medium. TV just isn't the place right now.

I knew this breakup was coming, but I'm heartbroken it's happening so soon! 😂

(Specifically, the middle of season 2 being what I consider bad. Episodes 8-18, roughly. I think the last few episodes of the second season are all pretty fun, with the finale being my third favorite episode of the entire series.)

And I have no sympathy for the Houthis, or find their excuse to commit attacks as retaliation for Gaza to have any merit. These proxies of Iran are horrible for the region, and the Houthis aren't good for Yemen at all. Still, the unseriousness of these people is infuriating.

Damn, that's a pretty shit way to wrap up a day. I hope you get your phone back, frustrating you couldn't get enough support in the moment!

So much to hate here, but my biggest gripe is that she followed "let's occupy Mars" by just saying "let's occupy Mars" again. "Reach for the stars" was right there!

It's kind of nice that there's a Bond movie that's so lean and mean, coming in at under 2 hours and that almost feels like a b-movie revenge picture at times. It could've leaned into that harder, but it's a decent epilogue to Casino, if a little dissatisfying on its own.

There's so much to be engaged by this, but the way that they're using the term "terrorist" to describe a gang - not to mention that they haven't even proved that they're all in this gang - is infuriating.
