People love to talk about the media they remember from over a decade ago which feels like a fever dream. Mine is 90210

It was a reboot? And then there was another reboot? And yet there's absolutely no nostalgia for it, the cast haven't gone on to do anything... it could have had as much of an impact as, say, Gossip Girl... and yet...

Seinfeld has a reputation for being a show about nothing, and that's accurate, but I think we should mention that Friends is exactly the same. I just saw an episode where a major plot point is going to the park

Yeah. Katniss likes having agency.

The Hunger Games has the FUNNIEST arranged marriage of all time btw. Katniss realizes she'll have to marry Peeta and she's obviously upset so Haymitch tries to comfort her by saying "you could do a lot worse" and Katniss is like "well DUH of course I could do worse than Peeta he's the best & handsomest person on the face of the planet but that's not the POINT I want to be able to choose for MYSELF". Then she goes and chooses Peeta anyway lol. Comedy gold I tell you

I wish I had Claudia Winkleman's wardrobe

Well, I certainly didn't expect Linda to go.

RIP a queen

I reckon someone really random will get voted off, like it'll look like Linda is going but then the faithfuls will all turn on someone like Alex or Jake for no reason

Alex has made almost no impression, so I guess he would be a good unexpected choice. Following that line, though, I think maybe Francesca

Alright my treacherous ones, who is excited for tonight's Traitors? Any theories? Any wildcards? Sound offfff

Alexander's turtleneck game is almost as strong as Claudia's

Do you guys think Bitzer and Gromit are friends?

Are there any Traitors UK fans on here?

Feathers McGraw being a hacker after 30 years inside is a testament to the continuing education program of the Yorkshire Zoo

I love him and his little garden soso much

She's perfect

this fish from peru is supposedly such a recent discovery that science has yet to formally describe it but I would describe it as a big DORK

If I had a nickel for every time I watched an excellent animated kids' film featuring cunning penguins planning to escape from a zoo I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice

Rocky from Chicken Run is a himbo

there is a judge in Seattle who does the weekly name change hearings, and who says it's her favorite part of the week. she says she doesn't read out previous names, or ask about the reasons why people want to change them. she says it's a beautiful moment, and a celebration; a claiming of a new identity, or a reclamation of an old identity. she encourages the room to clap for folks. then she welcomes everyone up, one by one, by last name and with warmth; she shows them the court order where nobody else can see, asks them to double check the spelling, and then they're done! do they want a picture? do they want their friends and loved ones who came with them to be in it too? do they want the court order in the photo? she helps everyone pose, shakes hands and stands with them for as long as they need to take it, recruits the clerk for help taking photos of the folks who came alone. then she tells them where to go next, congratulates them, and claps along with the rest of the room.

probably three quarters of the people there were trans, and she centered their experience quietly, with love and joy.

I think I'll be thinking about her a lot this January, and for a long time after. it's good to know she's there.
