It all started with the theatre release for the first two episodes of Tales From ‘85 back in April.
About a week later, I saw this TikTok which has stuck in my mind ever since. I encourage you to watch it as it’s filled with many little tidbits of evidence and information pointing to this theory that I didn’t want to babble about here! The second half is especially convincing.
At the premier, she received pins, a fanny pack and a pack of cards with the characters on it. According to the TikTok, all of these things can be linked to baseball. She also claimed that Jamie Campbell Bower’s “tomorrow it begins” video connects to the Home Run Derby (again, she will explain better than I could so I’d recommend that you give it a watch), though JCB has since claimed that the little aerobics promo video doesn’t mean anything (do we believe him?).
Jake Connelly was also at the premier that she attended, strengthening the ties to baseball as he has done some collabs with MLB.
All in all, this TikTok claims that the Home Run Derby on July 13th will potentially be significant for CG, especially as Netflix is live-streaming it and has seemingly left these clues. I personally don’t want to prepare for too much after the disappointment of the other supposedly-connected sports events, though I do remember how the ad breaks seemed to have plenty of clues.
The reason I wanted to bring this to people’s attention again is the fact that they’re using ST to promote it (again) on instagram. This, adding to Jake Connelly’s general association to baseball, felt worthy of mentioning. I have seen Netflix post about it twice so far.
I also wanted to add that the cards that this tiktoker received at the premier reminded me of the new trading cards that were released recently.
The fact that this happened makes me feel sick when I think about it…
Starting 2026 really felt like entering a nightmare. Rather than feeling like outcasts were seen, loved, celebrated and accepted- it was the total flip side of that coin.
A constant humiliation ritual.
And Elon’s unsavoury reaction is one of many reasons why I’d love to see CG happen. The show was promised to be a safe haven for outcasts and those who feel different, not casual viewers who “want to enjoy basic sci-fi.”
Yet those casual viewers were catered to, and it’s one of the biggest betrayals of original messaging I’ve ever witnessed in fictional media. That’s why I can’t let it go. It doesn’t make sense to me.
It doesn’t make sense that El was abused and traumatised from a young age, all by men mind you, only for her only option to be to sacrifice her life for others. It’s all she did her entire life. And that’s all she deserved - a good life.
It doesn’t make sense that Will was also traumatised and abused from a young age, only for his only option to be unreciprocated love, to move far away from his friends to be able to be accepted. All after claiming he’d never fall in love, only to be proven right in the end.
It doesn’t make sense that Mike didn’t get a complete or clear character arc. From starting as fiercely loyal and protective best friend and sharp leader to his loved ones, only to be reduced to a insensitive “love interest” to a “born sexy yesterday” character with no explanation to his aggressive shift in personality. Same thing can be said about “Rambo” Nancy, who just became a killing machine with no remorse.
It doesn’t make sense that Max’s biggest fear was to become violent and aggressive like her brother, only for us to see her aggressively her crash out at their last DnD game.
How Joyce and Hopper felt like caricatures of themselves. How Johnathan was ignored and sidelined.
All of these character points are nothing new, it just keeps echoing from the “plane crash”. No they did not land that stupid plane lmao.
I never expected to feel hit so hard by such a disappointing end to a tv show, but I realise it’s because it is personal.
S5 has done nothing but expose just how hateful, prejudiced and intolerant people truly are to outcasts.
Because it broadcasted their message loud and clear. You can be loved and accepted - but far, far away from us where you can’t be seen or heard.
So forgive me for wanting CG to happen, to get a little hope back for the real future for outcasts out there.
Yeah it’s just a tv show. But when it has a large enough impact to be “shut down” by Musk who is aiming to skew the online media narrative to his own political views - the impact fucking matters.
> Caleb stars in GOAT, where he plays a basketball player
> Charlie in Billy Knight, where he plays a filmmaker
> Gaten in his Pizza Movie, about college
> Maya and Nell in a movie about Maya’s character searching for Nell’s
> Millie and David in a series where they play a father/daughter duo, in which David’s character is a retired agent and Millie’s has gone missing
All these movies.
Anyways remember on the WSQK when Mindy said “I’ve seen the future! / and there I was, on the TV! I looked so good on the TV, and the radio, what’s next, the movies?”
I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.
Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.
But now I’m just like.
Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.
Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?
Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.
That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
"Kill your local sex offender!" Oh, you mean the guy who went streaking at his local college football game on a dare one time? That's a sex crime.
"No, I mean-"
Oh, maybe the woman who had to pee in a public park that only had pay toilets, so she tried to hide behind the bushes but got caught? Public urination is a sex crime.
"What? No, I mean-"
Oh, maybe you mean the homeless guy who had to strip down to get his clothes in the laundromat to clean them for the first time in weeks? He tried being subtle, but someone called the cops on him, and now he's on the sex offender registry for public nudity.
"Rapists and pedophiles! Kill rapists and pedophiles!"
Oh, like the trans woman who got called a pedophile groomer for helping a trans kid escape her abusive parents?
Or maybe the black man who got labeled a rapist because he came on to another man's wife, and he decided to get back at him by charging him with rape?
How about the 17 year olds who were fooling around, fully consensually, in one of their bedrooms? That's still technically underage sex and thus rape of a minor.
Oh, or maybe you're talking about the doctor who performed genital reconstructive surgery in a state that just voted to get that classified as rape?
People will do everything they can to get you convinced rape and pedophilia are the worst crimes possible, then accuse whoever they like the least of being either a rapist, a pedophile, or both, counting on you turning on them just for being accused of the crime.
"Oh, so you're saying you don't want to kill a serial rapist?"
That's exactly what I'm goddamn saying.
Once we decide a group is okay to kill, the government will do everything they can to convince you that their political enemies are either part of that group, or just as bad as that group, to get you to kill their enemies for them.
The only way out is to accept every life as worth saving.
I am a little late to this, but here is a great wrap-up of good news from 2025, plus a breakdown explaining why major news outlets are biased towards the bad.
My favorites:
73% of people globally feel safe walking alone at night, the highest ever recorded
UN high seas treaty ratified, allowing for nations to extend major protections to marine environments
Extreme poverty falling
China, once one of the major emitters, is investing heavily in green and renewable energy
India's tiger populations has doubled in the last decade
Amazon deforestation in Brazil is at its lowest level in 11 years
Going from being an introverted lurker on reddit to trying to post my own stuff here is so wild. I keep typing out a post, deleting it, then retyping because I think it's not good enough but then I look at other posts and why am I so worried?
It's like I'm at a fancy Italian restaurant and keep glancing around the room to see which hand people use to pick up the forks. But then I realize that everyone is shoveling spaghetti into their mouths using their bare hands and I'm like ah okay so I'm clearly overthinking this
