Remember the last time the FCC nearly killed net neutrality?

Tumblr had this nice big banner at the top of your dashboard alerting any active user about the problem. Guess what has changed since then? Verizon, one of the companies gunning for the death of net neutrality owns yahoo who in turn own Tumblr. Spread the word, tell everyone you can: battleforthenet.com tag posts you see about net neutrality with popular tags so the news spreads.

Look, I don’t know what the impact of the accusations against Andrew Kreisberg will be, but if Supergirl shooting gets delayed or whatever as a result of his suspension, the fandom better shut up and deal. I don’t give a fuck how much you want to see what happens, this production is made by human beings and they deserve a safe workplace more than you deserve a story.

Watching the Great British Bake Off:

Pros: everything

Cons: Now every time I bake I can hear Mary Berry critiquing me

GBBO Series 23

Mary: So what did you pick for the technical challenge, Paul?

Paul: I told them to make a Norwegian pastry called “jaevla bakverk.”

Mary: I’ve never heard of that.

Paul: You wouldn’t have, I just made it up off the top of my head. It’s totally fake. I wanted to test whether they can pull off a pastry that doesn’t really exist.

Mary: Did you give them a recipe?

Paul: It just says, “Make 12 jaevla bakverk.”

Mary: You’re a right bastard, Paul.

Paul: Oh yes.

My favourite part of bake off

Paul: If they follow the recipe, they'll be perfect

Baker, reading from the recipe: Step 1. Make it. It doesn't tell me how.

I didn’t want to play her as this femme fatale—she was a genuine evangelical with a real religious belief in the Reformation. Anne really influenced the world, behind closed doors. But she’s given no explicit credit because she wasn’t protected. Let’s not forget, too, that history was written by men. And even now, in our post-feminist era we still have women struggle in public positions of power.

Men still have trouble recognizing that a woman can be complex, can have ambition, good looks, sexuality, erudition, and common sense. A woman can have all those facets, and yet men, in literature and in drama, seem to need to simplify women, to polarize us as either the whore or the angel. That sensibility is prevalent, even to this day. Natalie Dormer

I think the whole purpose of La La Land is that if Mia never met Sebastian, he would have named the club "Chicken on a Stick." To me, that is beautiful.
