Yes, the first thing I did when I opened the box of Oasis goodies that showed up at my door was try to balance the tambourine on my head, Liam Gallagher-style. 🩵

While most of us are probably happy with where Roy and Keeley ended up on Ted Lasso, their relationship deserved so much better than the messy, irritating way they got there.
Roy and Keeley's Love Story Deserved Better Than 'Ted Lasso' Season 4
Look, I'm as happy as anyone that Roy and Keeley are finally (!!) back together and having a baby (!!!). But this season did the pair of them real dirty.

Don't get me wrong, I love where Roy and Keeley ended up on Ted Lasso, but the story of their relationship deserved so much better than how they got there. So I wrote about it at @theshippinglane.bsky.social:

Rebecca Yarros's short story collection, Threshing Day, is basically filler that's targeted straight at hardcore Fourth Wing fans. But that's precisely why they'll love it.
Yes, Rebecca Yarros' 'Threshing Day' Is Complete Filler (But It's Fun)
This slim collection of tales is as ephemeral as dragon smoke, but it's still fun getting to know some of the Fourth Wing secondary cast a bit better.

“The combination of Pugh’s performance and the show’s unabashed insistence that her story is worth telling in its own right—on her own terms—makes for something that’s still deeply satisfying to watch." @lacymb.bsky.social reviews EAST OF EDEN:
East of Eden review: Florence Pugh carries Netflix's Steinbeck adaptation
It adds necessary depth and shading to Cathy’s story, thanks to star Florence Pugh’s complicated, layered lead performance.

Wrote about the NHL's 'Hot for Hockey' initiative and how it totally ignores what female fans have been asking for while also undermining the very community it's trying to influence.

My company, OgreAI, harvests the teeth of children in order to plant them and grow our army of ogres. Unfortunately, we are increasingly concerned that the ogres may break containment. The only solution is we need more children’s teeth to grow more ogres to prevent that from happening.

From creating 'crack for girls' to superhero TV: The untold history of the CW, 20 years later
When the WB and UPN merged 20 years ago, the result was the CW, a network that took younger viewers seriously, spawning stars and hit series like 'Gossip Girl,' 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'Arrow.'

"How could I, an adult, read fan fiction?" — A sentence I read in a major publication just now. These articles could stop whenever we want them to. It would be quite simple. Everyone would just need to agree to it.
I can't really defend "Cleveland!", but "Babylon" is Actually Good.
I went behind the scenes on ReelShort's steamy adaptation of Sierra Simone's Lyonesse books to understand how vertical dramas are leading the charge on "trope-forward storytelling," why romance adaptations are boosting verticals in a whole new way, and more:
