I watched three (and a half) whole seasons of television for shows that all come out today, and the best of the bunch is far and away Sterling Point, a swoonworthy YA rom-com from Megan Park, creator of the excellent My Old Ass, anchored by three star-making lead female performances:

Really enjoyed The Ninth Jedi, which takes the best elements of Star Wars, ditches the continuity, and just delivers a find ride of an animated series:

Every interview I've read with the director of the Sex Purge movie boils down to "My not a sex purge movie t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered on my shirt"
I don’t disagree with the critical consensus that Ted Lasso does not effectively make the case for WHY it’s back, but the first five episodes of the new season made me laugh and feel things and that’s pretty much all I need, personally?

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
A couple of reminders about how BlueSky (currently) works given the conversations about bringing other "voices" or whatever onto the platform: - Block away, if you do you will never see them and they will never see you. - Someone quoting you and you don't want it? "Detach quote" and they're gone.
