Whether you loved it or hated it, Ted Lasso used to be about something: detoxifying masculinity. Now that it has Ted coaching women's soccer, it's a generic workplace comfort show about nothing in particular.

Sterling Point is a real delight—a throwback teen drama in a gorgeous natural setting, with an extremely charming lead, and the kids aren't on their phones all the time.

I was JUST having a conversation about this. Between making us wait a week for eliminations and casting a bunch of semi-famous contestants only to kick them off immediately because they're poor designers (shocker), it's like they're trying to tank the show. And that's without even mentioning Tyra.

This is not exactly my Bluesky "brand," but I have seen every episode of Project Runway and I even recapped a season in ancient times, and I have never seen a reality series so thoroughly and vigorously destroy itself. The current season is a packed festival of bad producing decisions.

Big "lady doth protest too much" energy in this Ted Lasso feature. No really, the show is extremely fun to make and no particular person on the creative team is hard to work with!

‘Ted Lasso’ Was Finished. Then Jason Sudeikis Had An Epiphany

Salt-n-Pepa's Very Necessary. On cassette. Would've been 4th or 5th grade. My parents actually surprised me by shrugging off the "explicit lyrics" label, but I still only listened to it on my Walkman.

Potentially fun prompt: What was the first piece of music you bought for yourself knowing your parents wouldn't approve? Mine was "The Downward Spiral." Picked up cassette on a trip to a Dewey Beach music store. Had heard "Closer" on MTV (where the "fucks" were muted) and wanted in.

My rudimentary understanding of soccer is that no one ever scores a goal but also no one cares about points because the players are so hot. This is why it is the most popular sport in the world

Pretending Jay Baruchel’s character in Mike End Kicks is the middle-aged version of Jay Baruchel’s character in Undeclared. I think this tracks.

Regret to inform that I’m like 5 minutes into Mile End Kicks and the lead already has the Adrian Tomine Strand tote I bought in the late 2000s. This movie is going to read me for filth

More and more often I encounter things that are so lazily cynical and exploitative and glib, I don't know what to say. Like, even the most mundane wallpaper of life on the internet is so anti-human.
