Funny I Love the 80s meme about being taught history from comedians who moonlighted as VH1 commentators during the early 2000s

It’s really weird how Pacey’s storyline with his teacher was framed as a “torrid affair” and not, y’know, predation

A high school friend is currently rewatching Dawson's Creek, a show I used to wake and bake to with my college roommate

Oh that's right! I forgot about the Simpsons parody. FWIW, I think they're still very watchable. A lot of them are still up online.

There's also a whole other conversation about how the show frames controversial issues in ways that we view differently now. Grooming, for example.

I guess I gotta add "rehab" to the list of things VH1 is making me learn more about (see also: progressive jazz, radio formatting, recommendation technologies, montages)

I'm rewatching the original run of Behind the Music. I'm almost done with S1 and I'm struck by how much the show relied on "exclusive" interviews to legitimate and spectacularize scandal. I'm also struck by how often musicians used drugs to treat illnesses that weren't legible as such by medicine.

After declining multiple solicitations from a social learning platform representative, I’ve just decided to mark their emails as junk 🤷🏻‍♀️

If this happened to me, it would be my Short Psycho origin story. But maybe Sabrina is playing a longer game as a shorty 🤔
