If I had a nickel for every actor from Gilmore girls who has appeared on greys anatomy I’d actually have a hefty pile of nickels. No idea if that’s good or not because wtf is a nickel and also what’s the conversion rate

Mitch brown has inspired me. I’m happy to announce that I’m coming out as the very first bisexual pop culture journalist

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Hey guys I’ve been busy designing some weather website so I haven’t had much time to post, but now I’m very very rich. Any news?

I don’t care that Jonathan Bailey surprised people in a wicked screening in Sydney, it should have happened to me (in my bed)

Quick question, did we ever find out wtf those guys meant by “your sex is on fire”?

I take a bunch of powders and pills at night for this health thing I have, and I’ve started mixing them all together and calling it “my potion” and imaging I have to drink it to stave off a witch’s curse, and let me tell you: not only does it work, it also makes me respect myself a little less

Not everyone can be a passenger princess, some of us are a lesser passenger duke, we sit in the back and we have to hold the potato salad

I’m up to season 6 of greys anatomy and Ellen Pompeo is pregnant so they’ve give her a storyline where she’s constantly tucked up into bed

Sometimes I call my dog a “good man” instead of a “good boy” because I feel like he’s made a really adult decision

How come my sense of humour has remained exactly the same

A cute tradition in my family is that even though his name is Greg, I call him “dad” instead. Guess we’re a bit quirky like that!

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

All these gender critical “feminists” shilling for rightwing papers who would take away women’s rights in an *instant* and never admitting the contradiction. If your feminism requires you to be on the same side as Trump, Vance, Putin, Farage, the Mail, the Telegraph, then mayyyyyyyybbbbbeeee….
The… the bbc that wrote an article about trans people that only took from a “gender critical” group and included quotes from a lesbian rapist? That bbc?

Lmao.

These people are actually deluded to think the bbc is left wing and pro trans.
Obsessive ‘gender critical’ activist-journalist - Sonia Sodha - makes gaslighting statements about the provably trans-hostile BBC! 🙄😖

It’s also pretty desperate that she’s colluding with the Telegraph to push transphobic stories (Observer not hateful enough?)

I thought the first season of Nobody Wants This was a really fun, spiky rom-com, but yikes this second season is BAD

I genuinely couldn’t tell you what The Witcher is about or why everyone is doing the things they do, but every episode they have wizards throwing fireballs at each other and I am sated
