New #AvatarTheLastAirbender sequel series 'Avatar: Seven Havens' has been greenlit • Follows young Earthbender twins with one of them discovering they are the next Avatar after Korra • OG creators Michael DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko are returning • Has 26 episodes and will be split into 2 seasons

McConnell surveyed his life's work. He drank in the wreckage on the earth, then scanned the bleak, clouded horizon. A gleeful rictus split his raisin face as he announced, "Welp, I've done about all I can do here. Good luck with so many things, including the polio."

if journalism is supposed to be one of the institutions that safeguards a free society then journalists should be opponents of autocratic takeovers, brian.

So now that man is in charge of HHS, does this mean that when I go to get my flu shot instead of a pharmacist administering an injection they'll just send out a hedge witch with a cup of "moon juice" murmuring some words that rhyme?

Not "all white people" are wrong. But when it comes to race, the majority of white Americans have been on the wrong side of every single racial issue in the 248-year history of this country. So why would anyone even care what they think about Black art?

The TV industry has tirelessly tried to replicate the success of Carrie and co. for Black audiences. But is it ultimately what Black women really want to watch?

Robin, but only if he figures out how to get to the other kid's watch early in the scrap.

A must read on Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance: andscape.com/features/gen...

Kendrick this and Kendrick that. Every year at halftime at the Puppy Bowl a bunch of kittens refuse to perform. They just hide or rest. In defiance of the puptriarchy. Our bravest performers and biggest haters. "I hope they all lose."

PHENOMENAL #HalftimeShow: ✔️Uncle Sam acting as an Uncle Tom. ✔️Patriotic Imagery + Colors + Messaging. ✔️Precise song selection to align with that messaging. ✔️Interesting staging that will become more clear with time. ✔️SERENA WILLIAMS Doing THAT DANCE!!! [🧵 1/2]

LIFT EV’RY JAWN AND SING

Wait, wait, hold up... there's still 10 seconds...KC can still pull it out, right?

If you were the worst player on a team in H.S. you know exactly what I'm talking about...that moment when coach is like, "Aw, heck, what harm can it do? Go on out there and be somebody, Timmy!"

Is this the part of the game where the Eagles let the kids on the field who haven't gotten any play time this season so they can get in on the fun?

I am sorry, I know that probably hurt, but the palm to Patrick Mahomes' face after all that is just...

I have been overruled by a spouse who also doesn't watch football but who profoundly respects comedy and believes the best laughs are to come from Kansas City.

The Husband: Didn't they give Tom Brady an insane amount of money to do this? Me: Yes. Him: So...he could have afforded a belt, right?

Again, since I don't watch football, y'all have to tell me: at what point can I safely return to liberating Tsushima again without feeling I've missed anything?

I have been corrected: Sideshow Bob steps on rakes. But you get it.

Well that Mountain Dew commercial is going to give *me* nightmares, how about you?

The graphics make all the players look like they're extras in an #Archer episode, so it's also fun to imagine Pam cheering for whichever team she would bet on.

I don't watch football but I have decided that I'd like the Eagles to win the #SuperBowl mainly because I enjoy #AbbottElementary.

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

Never has the point of any show been lost like that of squid game

If you know you know...

I just had to explain to my husband that in S4 of #AllCreaturesGreatandSmall James Heriot goes off to war but doesn't stop being a veterinarian. And in a few short sentences I turned into one of my favorite Ali G sketches. youtu.be/VWDP_ew8HqQ

Congrats Alan!

Luckily my Sour Patch flavor doesn't have legs

This week has already got me down to my emergency coping candy back-up stash, and it's only (checks calendar) Tuesday.

Hey blacksky! In honor of #BHM, everybody drop your favorite black TV character. On another day I'd say Kelli from "Insecure" or Khadijah from "Living Single" But given what's going on rn if you know this #Boondocks moment...it's the only appropriate response for me

“How to Die Alone,” the comedy series created by and starring Natasha Rothwell, has been canceled after one season on Hulu
