Nick saying “you love me too much, Schmidt, and you picked the wrong guy” during the Cookie Meltdown on New Girl is absolutely a whopper.

Watching Nirvanna The Band The Show with my specific level of Toronto knowledge is so funny. Hey, I've been to that place! There was a Scott Pilgrim fight there. Only ever drove past and never went inside, but there was a different Scott Pilgrim fight there!
Not to be like my steak too juicy my lobster too buttery, but it feels like there are so many movies that are huge or intend to be huge this summer? Where does Ewan McGregor fighting dinosaurs fit into this ecosystem

Steve Morris@stevewmorris.bsky.social · 2w agoThis week on the site I take a look at Gideon Graves, the not-quite final boss of Scott Pilgrim. It's a comics future that didn't quite happen for us, but still one which predicted a lot of what'd happen to dating in the 2020s: shelfdust.com/2026/08/05/s...
Does the sex purge man think he's too good to watch Heated Rivalry? Gregg Araki said he liked it, and he's literally Gregg Araki!
This is great to see - as someone who works in comms, we need more campaigns like this! 👏🏼 We need to rebrand masks as being chic symbols of empowerment against both wildfire smoke & airborne viruses, not symbols of weakness or fear
California Department of Public Health@capublichealth.bsky.social · 2w agoBeing kinda chic is subjective, but COVID-19 doesn't care. - it's kinda chic to keep up with your vaccines - it's kinda chic to wear a mask in crowded indoor public places - it's kinda chic to cover your cough or sneeze Schedule an appointment at myturn.cdph.ca.gov
I hate having a memory of things that happened in the media industry
I can 200 percent understand why they wouldn’t want to do it, and I suspect they never shall, but I think a Tom Holland/Zendaya unfussy romcom (NOT the romcom B-plot of a superhero movie) would make a gazillion dollars and might just save the world from despair.
Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

A reminder that when asked in 2020 when we could call the Covid pandemic “over,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said we’d need to get new cases below 10K/day. Later, he & others added we’d want vaccination rates to top 95%. We are not & have never been close to those numbers, so there’s still work to do:
Gregg Levine@greggjlevine.bsky.social · 4mo agoStay up-to-date on all your vaccines. For Covid, that likely means at least 2x/year. Wear a quality mask/respirator when indoors in public. Test if you think you’ve been exposed or feel ill. Stay home if you’re sick. Use air filters at home and lobby for clean air standards at work & in schools.

weinberg@weinbergs.bsky.social · 7mo agolet's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
As we recall the trauma caused by COVID in 2020, we should not forget COVID continues to harm. Many still suffer from Long COVID, people who mask are often harassed, and we haven’t scaled clean air infrastructure. If we truly acknowledge past harms, we should be working to create a better future.
