Yeah, dunking on Drake is fun, but I don't see a lot of people talking about the rest of the halftime show.

The dancers emerging to form a divided American flag. Uncle Sam telling Kendrick he's "too loud, too ghetto" and that America wants "nice and calm." Ending the performance telling everyone to "turn the TV off." And the fact that all of this is being very deliberately done at the Super Bowl, the most televised yearly event in the country???

This show was a beautiful celebration of Black American culture, a clapback against racist anti-rap rhetoric, and another chance to clown on a rapist, but it was also a condemnation of the bread and circuses of media that the Super Bowl represents. People want to stick their heads in the sand and ignore everything happening in this country, so Kendrick did something impossible to ignore.

I loved the Zeus - Posedion conversation so much because it is the most sibling tm scene in the show so far (after Posedion intervened and stopped his brother from literally murdering his son). They're literally at war one second, there's some levity a second later when they decide they're on the same side and then the youngest brother has to rub in the fact that he won and that he's going to tell everyone else in the family ASAP much to the older brother's absolute annoyance as he rolls his eyes. Not to mention "Who knows about father?" "... Hermes " "So... everyone knows?" Hermes canonically being the biggest blabber in Olympus lmao.

Goodbye Carl Weathers 💔

Thank you for bringing so much to The Mandalorian as Greef Karga. Your acting and directing contributions will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace.

I fucking LOVE that Donna is not immune to being a little starry-eyed over The Doctor in the way that many of us get a little starry-eyed over our best friends but she IS immune to being that way in front of them lmao. Double love that this appears to also be Catherine Tate and David Tennant's dynamic

In June, I was watching a YouTube video about asexuality when someone mentioned that asexual people aren't subjected to conversion therapy. This didn't sit right with me at all. A quick fact-check Google search quickly sent me down a rabbit hole about how a lack of sexual attraction is often treated as a medical problem to be fixed.

Many interviews and 6 months later, I covered science and medicine's changing attitudes toward asexuality it in a feature article in Scientific American's January 2024 issue! I'm so grateful to everyone who lent their expertise to the article 💜

"... Over the past two decades psychological studies have shown that asexuality should be classified not as a disorder but as a stable sexual orientation akin to homosexuality or heterosexuality. Both cultural awareness and clinical medicine have been slow to catch on. It's only recently that academic researchers have begun to look at asexuality not as an indicator of health problems but as a legitimate, underexplored way of being human."

I'm always baffled when I see Pride and Prejudice (1995) held up as the gold standard for adaptations of the novel and encounter claims that it is completely 100% book accurate apart from (mainly said in jest, I know) the scenes of Mr Darcy bathing, fencing and diving in the lake because, while the appreciation for damp Colin Firth suggests we did in fact watch the same series, perhaps we did not read the same book...

While a very very good period drama, Pride and Prejudice (1995) does unfortunately miss the mark on several points. Mr Collins is not a short, greasy middle-aged man; there is far too much Wickham; we miss out on a lot of Mrs Bennet's rivalry with Lady Lucas as well as her reaction to Elizabeth's engagement to Mr Darcy and in my opinion, the biggest disappointment of all, is the handling of the Rosings arc.

Proposal aside (which is to me practically perfection) we miss out on the hilarious misunderstanding between Darcy and Elizabeth of her telling him where she takes her daily walks in hopes he will avoid her (as she believes their dislike to be mutual) while Darcy takes it as an invitation to walk with her (much to Elizabeth's frustration). Instead, we merely see a brooding Mr Darcy on horseback encountering Elizabeth and just... wordlessly riding off?! An interaction which looks all the more peculiar given Colonel Fitzwilliam's hints, upon paying a first visit to Hunsford Parsonage, that Darcy has spoken much of her and Elizabeth wondering aloud why Darcy keeps staring at her. That particular scene makes both of them look a bit stupid, as Darcy hears that Elizabeth might not have such a fond opinion of him yet still proposes and Elizabeth gets a hint that perhaps he doesn't think as ill of her as she wishes him to...

And then the ending is also always a disappointment to me, as the lovely dialogue between Darcy and Elizabeth post-proposal is almost entirely omitted, in favour of more time spent earlier in the episode on Wickham and Lydia. By the time the proposal occurs, there's not time for much more than a protracted double wedding. Sigh.

Listen, there's a lot to enjoy and I am not immune to the charms of a damp man dressed in period costume (or even less...) BUT let's also be realistic about its shortcomings and acknowledge that nothing will ever compare to the wit and charm of Jane Austen's masterpiece.

Fan art for @yuhlena ‘s fic “Enjoy The Silence” :)

After a second, Tedesco's mouth shuts and Aldo, still leaning down in confusion, turns his head towards the back of the church. Tedesco's eyes follow. The sun shimmers around them in a soft golden glow, rays striking through the windows to hit the white cloth on the altar and soak into the black of their clothing. Tedesco's shoulders take most of it, his head turned away from the sun, while Aldo accepts a direct hit to the face that leaves him bright and cheery in the daylight. They stare at him together-Aldo, luckily, in delight, Tedesco in utter misery.
