So the 2026 Golden Globe director didn’t listen to everyone who hated the roving/zooming direction and angles from 2025.
Amy already broke the thread. Golden Globes, take 2.

Let’s do this Golden Globes! So far, the red carpet trend is weird peplum or flowy sack we want to fill with balls.
TONIGHT! Beth and Amy are gonna live skeet/skut the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet and show! Amy bought a digital antenna for this, because she refuses to add Paramount+.
Eating breakfast and listening to @thecooltable.bsky.social podcast about Heated Rivalry. That show and book series is I care about right now. 🤷♀️
The title of our latest ep is “Heated Rivalry (and the Best of 2025),” but it should have been HEATED RIVALRY IS THE BEST OF 2025. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I must be ovulating because this song has me feeling some kind of way. It’s giving The Cure’s Plainsong. Let me listen 20 more times to be sure.

K-Pop Demon Hunters was a delight. A musical! Enemies to lovers! Watched it while sitting in front of the A/C, sipping a spritz.
Seeing a lot of dudes posting their NY Times film ballots. So here is the opinion of a GenX, white woman with a tennis injury and French lover.
We are saying this in our weird Fall River accents: Karen Read is factually innocent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Amy made Beth happy. She read the first Murderbot book and loved it.
Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.
On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.
Soraya Nadia McDonald@soraya.press · last yr.Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
VERY EHD LUFFS BEH
Anna@ch00chelo.bsky.social · last yr.It’s is spring break and I’m attempting to break out of my reading rut by finally dipping my blue ridged toe into the Ice Planet Barbarians series. So far it reminds me of Transcendence, in the best way, complete with its very own version of Ehd Luffs Beh. cc @thecooltable.bsky.social
If you find the media to be soulless poor quality slop just know that’s what the studios and financiers think of you as a consumer. They think you’re gullible enough to eat shit as long as they wrap it in shiny enough packaging.
I’ve been pumped about #murderbot for quite some time.
Beside myself at how well this hits the exact right tone. I cannot wait #murderbot #appletv youtu.be/vEioDeOiqEs?...

While we are talking about #Murderbot at the cool table let’s talk about THIS pic (via VanityFair). It’s the exasperation for me
