i actually really really hate the "there are too few positive male role models for boys" thing for one banal reason and it is that it literally just isn't true

Finally finished @aptshadow.bsky.social ‘s wonderful Children of Time last night. 18 hours later I’m still walking around muttering “they turned that woman into ants!” to myself. Absolutely masterful stuff to the very last page.

I know the discourse has moved on but every single person involved in this show should be knighted for Services to Proper Fucking Telly
The Celebrity Traitors isn’t just the best thing on tv right now, it’s the best thing that’s *been* on tv in at least three years. Multiple moments in the last episode had me exactly like this

Easily my favourite thing about the podcast being back from hiatus is the number of people going “Wait, Joe Mason is a REAL person???” Buddy I’ve been asking myself the same thing for a decade

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Glad to see Celebrity Traitors is no different than regular Traitors when it comes to reading intelligent analysis of what's going on as a cause for suspicion. David Olusoga: "Think logically. Don't get swept along by groupthink." The rest: "He's being too clever. Burn him!"

Really enjoyed Superman, but I’m starting to worry that James Gunn has a cheat code to my emotions because he seems to have my EXACT music taste. ‘This is the Day’ and ‘Dog Days are Over’ in GotG Vol.3 was some absolutely *diabolical* work
