I just read a television spoiler that made me more mad than I've ever been from seeing a spoiler after getting it spoiled for me. It's real dumb that I'm this mad about it.
I'll reveal what it was once it inevitably comes up in conversation here sometime very soon, but boy I wanted to experience this one for myself.

I saw my mom this weekend and she asked if I was reading anything, I told her I just picked up a copy of The Perfect Storm at half price books since, despite remembering a lot of marketing and success of the movie, I never saw it and knew nothing about the story. Impulse buy, but excited to read it and learn more about it.
"Oh! You'll have to let me know how that is, just because I'm curious how they tell the story since the boat went down and everybody died."
i know its really old, and im still gonna read it, but goddamn mom lol

Was it the Drag Race finale? Because I'm pretty annoyed about that one.

this show is so good. even just the way that the trial explained what actually happened in relatively simple terms was terrific writing. yet the thing that blew me away most is the difference between this and the writer's other credits.

Cannot wait to finish Chernobyl, possibly tonight but more likely tomorrow.

Simultaneously some of the best direction and dumbest screenwriting ever contained in a single series

Watched the first episode of Handmaid's Tale last night, they did a good job picking up where they left off. They released 3 episodes though, so between that and Black Mirror I have a bunch of TV to watch now. Hopefully I can get though it all this weekend.

We got through all three last night, and I definitely agree. There's minor qualms with things so far, and I know critics are saying it's spinning it's wheels but I've found this season so far to be more positive than the constant negative outcomes for characters. Great show.

I Think You Should Leave: Great yet somehow long at 15 minutes Bash Brothers: Sure, why not. Tuca and Bertie: Great!

Tuca and Bertie was really abrasive for the 5 minutes I watched it. It was the equivalent of someone asking if I wanted to hear a song and then just blasting an air horn at me.

Real talk though, finished up Chernobyl and it was great. I read the New Yorker article last night and more or less completely understood the liberties they took with the story so they could make it a concise and gripping mini-series. I thought they were mostly fair to themselves in the wrap-up at the end, but The focus on Dylatov did somewhat downplay the offenses of the state. I wanted Dylatov strangled and shot while watching the show...whereas they could have made an even bigger point about governmental power/influence if he hadn't ended up the clear villain in the show. It doesn't bother me tremendously, as I said, I get that they're writing this for TV.
Didn't think the multiple scenes of pet-shooting were necessary when none of the characters' storylines were fleshed out. It made a show that was already difficult to watch that much MORE difficult, sort of pointlessly. That's the biggest gripe I had with the whole thing.
I had tears in my eyes when the epilogue revealed the men who emptied the water tanks had lived, took some self control not to cry.
"Every lie owes a debt to the truth, and a time comes when those debts must be paid."

Uhhmmm excuse me. The only media that truly challenges people is Le Black Mirror, so I can think about all the ways technology is bad for me while basking in the glow of 8 different devices at once.
Edit: irt xam I’m not sure what Chernobyl is like

A little slower pacing than I'd like, but I get that they're building up to something. I really hope they actually show Chicago, since they keep mentioning it.

Watched the first episode of Black Mirror, right back on track after the Bandersnatch misstep.
Very enjoyable, very messed up.
