Mr. Frodo, me back is aching something awful!

This show is not super note worthy but I have found the best lines by far.

rockstar lestat voice The children, they are calling me cringé... they are posting pictures of my face, magnifique, with my big blue eyes that captivate so many, and they are placing it next to a certain photograph of the starlet mademoiselle cyrus. they have turned me into a mémé. well. i can be humorous too, non? i am going to find the creators of this cruel joke. i will hunt them down. they think they are funny? i am about to be...hilariouse...

There are two very important referendums for state constitutional amendments the Republicans are trying to sneak through on the August Wisconsin Primary.

It's important that folks turn out and vote no on it.

Vote in every election folks, it's important. Decisions are made by those who show up.

[toughtink]

florida has abortion on the ballot this november! our primary is in august! every state has something going on!!

"let it burn" is not a strategy. it plays to lazy doomerism, accelerationist wet dreams, and either ignorance or privilege that assumes they personally will be okay regardless of who's in charge.

[malspinningyarns]

Must a show be “good”? Is it not enough to be an alternative history that asks “what if instead of the Catholic-Protestant schism causing complications in Tudor England, it’s Animorphs?” that’s super horny on main, has the vibe of A Knight’s Tale, surprisingly pretty accurate historical costumes (with a few notable exceptions), and a bunch of British character actors acting absolutely wild?

[realmarysue]

I need you all to understand that I have watched the trailer released for the show My Lady Jane a solid dozen times.

And not ONCE in this goddamn trailer does it even HINT at the fact there are ANIMAL SHAPESHIFTERS INVOLVED.

THEY MISSED THEIR TARGET AUDIENCE.

[hmasfatty]

I was informed of the show’s existence by this Bluesky post

Which was VERY good advertising

[elspethdixon]

I’m sorry, what? Why the fuck doesn’t the advertising or even the literal series description page on Amazon mention the shapeshifters?

That seems like a kind of important detail.

All of us who read the book have been quietly waiting for this moment

I love Red Dwarf. They said ok: our first main character is a guy who fixes chicken soup machines on a spaceship for a living. He's bad at it. He's the only human alive bc he got put in stasis for 3 million years bc his illegal cat was pregnant and he wouldn't get rid of her. His annoying ass room mate is the one who caused everyone on board the ship to die. He's a hologram now. He is full of so much self loathing it is almost incomprehensible, but also his ego is insane. They hate each other but at one point he leaves and our first main character misses him so bad he dreams about kissing him. Don't pay any attention to that though. Our third main character is the humanoid cat descendant of the first guy's cat. Fourth main character is the neurotic, vaguely Canadian robot. This show will be on the air for 35 years and only have 74 episodes. British TV at its finest.

okay tv theory truman show truthers, signing off. we got it confirmed and we also Didn’t, which is actually the best possible solution to this whole conundrum. the show Doctor Who (at the very least, the stories 73 Yards and Pyramids of Mars) is now canon to the universe of Doctor Who, and that’s what’s important, really.

memories are a TV screen. television is a time machine. memories are a time machine and a time machine is a TV screen. and all of that — time, memory, media (lost media and rediscovered media. note the metatext about lost episodes of Doctor Who), love, magic — that’s all life. music and a spoon. an opera house. songs and stories. clara’s theme was all that remained of her memory (“clever boy”, says Mrs Flood!). when the universe dies, we are left with (hi)stories. stories, legends, are the collective memory of humanity — a time window through which to view life, all of life simultaneously as it happens in the past and future.

the Doctor is a God of Life. and he lives forever. and he loves forever. and the show goes on.

finished first season

[werewolf-transgenderism]

genuinely this guy is THE funniest contestant i have EVER seen on taskmaster like oh my GOD PLEASE

[werewolf-transgenderism]

genuinely obsessed with the way this guy approaches the tasks like this is the same guy that, when asked to name powerful animals as part of a task, went with “red-eyed tree frog.” i love him. man after my own heart

This time... ... I will never let you go

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

why do we have to do “taika waititi is a bad person” discourse every other week

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

so he said some stuff in a podcast that i saw summarized as “ppl don’t know about Māori topics so i dont need to know about Palestine” before i saw a transcript. and first of all he doesn’t even mention Palestine in the podcast so it’s kinda weird to assume that was what he was talking about. and second of all, to me when i read the transcript and if i were summarizing it i wouldve paraphrazed his comments as “look, we're all going to be more aware of the issues that are actually impacting us personally, and it's frustrating to be expected to comment on every single humanitarian crisis to trend on social media that i'm uninformed about as if i don't have personal experience with topics like genocide”

and then i see people saying shit like “well, he should KNOW better, how does he not see the parallels?“ and it is so fucking clear to me what the moral outrage is. it’s the idea that poc and other oppressed people inherently have a better moral system because oppression and suffering makes you a better person and victims of oppression are more moral just by virtue of their oppression.

and this isn’t the case for everyone getting caught up in hating on taika but this meshes with white people’s guilt for being white (bc if ppl belonging to an oppressed class are inherently better people, that means ppl belonging to an oppressor class makes them an inherently worse person) and people’s guilt at seeing atrocities happening across the world that their country is connected to and in some way responsible for. the combo of "as a poc he should be informed" and "if a poc doesnt know, that means im making up for my sin of being a white person by being more informed than a person of color"

so white liberals who have all this unpacked internalized christian ideology dictating their moral compass really have to bloviate how immoral it is for taika to not be informed about palestine. because in a weird fucking roundabout way it makes them feel better about being white.

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

like considering the way people were speculating that taika was personally responsible for firing guz khan from ofmd, a story with very little evidence that honestly reads like an antisemetic conspiracy theory, it’s weird to me that the screenshot on the right being the one passed around twitter and people jumping to the conclusion that he’s talking about that letter he signed when what he was talking about right before that was jojo rabbit and holocaust denial/misinformation and continuing conversations about the holocaust.

yeah taika has a history of saying/doing some pretty uninformed and tone-deaf stuff at times and this is one of them, but i’m not gonna get all worked up over a Jewish Māori man being frustrated that people who dont know anything abt what Māori people are facing are combing through his instagram likes and going in twitter to demand expert statements from him on social issues he is not completely informed about. taika is literally just a guy who makes movies and the way people hold him to this higher standard of moral purity is so fucking transparent

#it's okay to be disappointed that your fave is not informed on an issue like you expected they would be#colonialism hurts a lot of us in a lot of different ways and seeing it play out so violently isntraumatic#it's natural to turn to the people we look up to and/or idilize for guidance in times like this#but it's so important to remember that those are also people suffering under colonialism#and turning that disappointment and hurt into a vendetta to prove they are terrible if they're not perfect is going to hurt YOU#not to mention /every single person around you/#stop#get some help#talk to a trusted friend#let those feelings stay their course and then let them go#they will not serve you if left to feater (@zo1nkss)
