I was today years old when I learned that T-REXES COULD SWIM???? man, Isla Nublar really got in bed with the wrong Attenborough #PrehistoricPlanet
So mad we are living through plague times and I can’t watch this shit on the IMAX screen at the science museum as God intended all dinosaur content to be consumed
ah, to be a pterasaur living atop a rocky sea island cliff

no email or taxes, just vibes
I see you, composer who isn’t legally allowed to rip off John Williams’ “Jurassic Park” theme for this sweeping aerial shot but is committed to making me think I’m ALMOST hearing it
“THE DROWNED CONTINENT OF ZEALANDIA”???????? why does everything this man says sound so cool
david attenborough: and the male tuarangisaurs gather here to display for the females

*giant protrusions burst up from the water*

me: jesus christ guys

me: oh okay those are their necks
is there ANYTHING better to see on your screen than the looming blue shadow of an absolutely goddamn enormous sea monster slowly and menacingly gliding through the water towards its unwary prey
ladies, make your man prove he's good enough to have your babies by forcing his light display to match the precise rhythm of your vibrating bioluminescent tentacles
"breeding is the final act of their short lives" wow okay never mind that took a turn
the bioluminescent jellyfish things get to have sex once and then die so I guess this is a CW show
A ONE AND A HALF YEAR PREGNANCY???? jfc free that tuarangisaur LET HER GO BACK TO HER LIFE
ps i've convinced myself that the Loch Ness Monster is a tuarangisaur and no amount of "facts" or "science" will change my mind
watching a few minutes of the next one before bed and would IMMEDIATELY die for this herd of dreadnoughtasaurs, something i have never heard of before (like a brontosaurus but gianter!)
wtf these weird octopus tentacle air sacs on their necks are INSANE

the way i'm going to embarrass this bitch all day the minute she wakes up by tweeting sappy and emotional things about how great she is
she is legitimately one of the funniest people I know, she has a designated area of her kitchen for ice cream & hot cocoa accessories such as sprinkles and syrups and a separate instagram to document them, and she is casually perfect at everything she tries to a MADDENING degree

it's a testament to the genius of "hacks" that despite my #1 least favorite and most stress-inducing trope - Person A Has a Secret That Will Ruin Person B and We Are All Just Waiting For Them To Find Out - i'm having a great time

no spoilers because I'm only on ep 2 but omg
Kayla might be my favorite character, I hate her so much and I am always so thrilled when she is onscreen
me, knowing exactly what it means when The Tower comes up in Deborah's tarot reading

"wow claire that's a lot of perfect shows" yes well i like things
did "black sails" have one very bad character arc in the first four episodes? yes. did "newsradio" slide moderately off the rails after phil hartman's death? it did. has some of "happy endings" aged poorly over a decade? sure. they are still better than 99% of all other shows

Alice and I are three episodes into s2 of “Gentleman Jack” and I’m aggressively here for the surprise villain arcs of both Thomas and Mariana tbh????? also we are both Team Railroad and Team Grandma Lawson, Ann’s only fun relative
god I love this gay-ass show
callout post for the composer, @alice_v_smith is never going to recover from the stress of NOT being able to buy the album of the original score so she can walk jauntily around England to Anne Lister’s Lesbian Striding Jams, can someone please get on this

like, i cannot stop you from reading jk rowling or watching dave chappelle in the privacy of your own home

but if in the year 2022 you are PUBLICLY PLATFORMING them, you've made a clear and unequivocal statement about where you stand on trans rights. sorry. that's just a fact.
if you have a podcast or a movie studio or a production company or a comedy tour, and it has finite space and resources, and you choose to allocate any of those resources or that visibility and airtime to them and people like them, that's the ball game
we are past the point of anybody "not knowing it could be perceived that way" or thinking it's "important to make sure all voices are included" or "the views represented by this guest do not necessarily reflect the views of the host"

this is about optics, and you made a choice.

has anyone done a summary of how Trump-endorsed candidates are doing nationwide overall? i feel like i've seen some wins and some losses but I don't have a full sense of the landscape
having read a few articles, it now seems that the overall vibe is "most of Trump's endorsements have won, but that's because he frequently just slapped his name and logo on the transparently obvious winner"
the potentially more instructive group, a much smaller sample size, are the people like Dr. Oz who Trump endorsed against the preferences or recommendations of mainstream Republicans, because THAT batch seems a lot more hit and miss
