That's a bummer, Matt. What a strange world.
Thursdays are an inconvenient time for me for new Pitt to come out, but I hope to get to episode 3 tonight, maybe?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The guy from Empty Netters addressed the texts. (Basically what you'd expect -- they were taken out of context, it was from before he saw the show, etc.) [link]

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Yeah, I don't think they get that what has most people up in arms isn't just that they were skeptical/unwelcoming of the show before they saw it, but rather the slurs and MAGA dogwhistles they used in being dismissive of its creators and audience. And the fake/performative nature of their sudden 180° when it boosted their viewership immensely and they realized there was cash to be had from piggybacking on queer entertainment.

Unrelated to anythng y'all are talking about - watched the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms because I remember liking the Dunk and Egg stories maybe more than ASoIaF and certainly more than Fire and Blood and whatnot. It was pretty slow, I hope it picks up

Thanks.
Also, Mayor Mamdani's message to the people of NYC, telling them to stay home and not risk going out in the snow unless necessary, included a suggestion to borrow the ebook of Heated Rivalry from the library and read that at home.

KotSK ep 2 got better
I’m torn between wishing I remembered anything of the plot of the books and being sort of pleased that I do not so it will all be a surprise.
