Pop Culture Overthinker aka “The Mad Jay Woman”

(Still getting it together over here, bear with me I’m tired…)
I feel so gutted I actually called my mother…

…which of course the the exact wrong thing to do when I need to express a feeling, but that’s how dire things are…

I’ve adored her for so long, SCTV reruns were fundamental

What a life but also so hard to say goodbye
Catherine O'Hara, Canadian comedy icon and beloved star of Schitt's Creek, Home Alone, Beetlejuice, and more, has sadly died aged 71.

Our thoughts are with O'Hara's friends and family at this difficult time — she will be sorely missed.

This is the liberal hell I’m currently living in so… points for accuracy?

Yeah yeah, public health has been completely dismantled but did you see what South Park said about JD Vance?!
I finally saw MERCY and holy shit, they really did make a dystopian movie where the whole point is that we should cut the dystopia some slack.

It’s like a perverse FAHRENHEIT 451 that ends with Guy Montag telling his totalitarian bosses, “Your heart is in the right place. That’s all that matters.”

This cold is starting to do things to my brain

I’m accustomed to a standard level of crazy but the stuff that is skipping through my mind lately truly gives me pause

I had a thought too messy to say out loud to anyone in my circle and for the first time I wish I was adept at Reddit

They really do be posting anything over there…

Having a chronically ill body is just so wild because around 10am I finally figured I should get up and get some food even if I wasn’t hungry and that was 9 hours ago and I still have no appetite…

And it’s not even a bad flare up day, pretty baseline actually

So glad someone is still out there asking the Big Questions…
Question prompted by me explaining broad outlines of Discovery to my Starfleet Academy-curious son: is Jett Reno or Tig Notaro the more Star Trek-coded name? For that matter, is Jett Reno more of a Star Wars name?
a woman is sitting in front of a computer and says did you bring any snacks .
Alt: Jett Reno asks, "Did you bring any snacks?"

While I think there are things to admire in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, I consider it a mess overall

Confused how this is *the* awards season front runner other than Hollywood really being on some lib shit

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

If you’re feeling bad about what Netflix and the streaming model have done to North American television industries… well turns out they’re screwing over South Korea as well!

2025 couldn’t just pack its shit and leave, nope had to take one more iconic performer

Fuck this year, he will be so very missed
Whitlock made "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" into more than a quippy catchphrase. It's Clay Davis' ethos, a justifiably incredulous reaction illustrating how he, and often the audience, viewed the machinations of Baltimore. It's a pillar for the whole fully realized, wonderfully played character. #RIP
Isiah Whitlock Jr., ‘The Wire’ and ‘Veep’ Actor, Dies at 71
He appeared in several films for Spike Lee, including '25th Hour,' 'BlacKkKlansman' and 'Da 5 Bloods.'

Okay I see why all the straight girls are so freaked out by Heated Rivalry

Heartstopper this is not - turns out gay guys do more than hold hands while sharing hot fudge sundaes!
