Getting work done on my house and the contractor was like “I saw ur sign….. r u yknow in the community or an …ally?” And I was like doing the major side eye and was hesitantly like “……in the community…” and the guy whips out his phone and goes “cool let me show you a picture of my daughter and her 4 kids and her wife and did u know the baby is theirs biologically which is very cool and” then I got to listen to him tell me all about being an ally and how much he loves the queer community and also he thinks it’s despicable all the friends they lost when his daughter came out and they haven’t won the best yard since they put a pride flag out and how it’s about making sure people have safe spaces and know they aren’t alone- to my complete astonishment I really did get the full essay from him
... That’s not the point.
choosing to subtitle sherlocks Hindi conversation in papyrus is so stupid (and probably orientalist) but it does make iyengars response in English EXTREMELY fucking funny
Next time you're around when the mail gets delivered, ask your delivery person if they're understaffed or not.
But don't hold them up too much, they have a lot of work to do.
I cannot get over the assassination happening while I was trying to get coverage for my testosterone. Imagine going into the pharmacy all excited to get your first ever testosterone prescription but find out it costs 800$ out of pocket for a three month supply and UHC won't cover it. So then you wait for your provider to get back to you about changing your prescription for an entire week and a half, and during that wait someone just. goes and fucking murders the CEO of your insurance company. Like they just kill him on the street. They had so much calculated hatred for this guy that they even engraved each bullet that hit him. Then, as if the heavens themselves opened up entirely to watch brian thompson descend into hell, your testosterone is ready two days later for pickup, and only costs 10 delicious dollars.
Out of ALL the Sherlocks on screen, or that have been on screen, Sherlock in Elemementary will always be my favuroutie.
Look, I love Bendedryll Cucumber as much as the next person, and Robert Downy Junior was amazing, but have you watched my boy Jonny Lee Miller absolutely SLAY as Sherlock in a modern setting?
Jesus christ, this man single handedly made Sherlock a human. A real person with real issues, feelings and struggles.
All the others do this, but there's a sense of "other" given to him in everything else.
Sure, Elementary kind of does that, but not to the extent that the others do. Sherlock here gets growth and development, and soon you grow to realize that he isn't "other", he is just different and has alot of shit to deal with.
It's just so good.
Yes, you saw what you saw. Yes, he did what you thought he did. Yes, they aired that with their whole chest.
The next thing they will do is deny that it happened. (you saw wrong, it wasn't what you thought it was, etc) After that they will try to downplay it (it was a joke, he didn't mean it like that, it's a "roman salute," etc) They will try to claim it was the work of AI. (its a deep fake, it's a smear campaign, it's hate speech, etc) They will do everything they can to sweep it aside. Then they will try to bury it. Then they will distract you with meaningless bullshit.
You saw what you saw. He did what he did. And we need to make sure that we do not forget.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to enjoy writing this a lot, but it will be a slog.
Any article or convsersation about crime or drugs or security must reference Trump's clear criminal record, clear adoration of white nationalist terrorists, clear dug addiction, and clear theft of National Security documents.
There is no security or safer communities when Trump releases the most violent, warped, and depraved offenders. These people were wicked.
