S1 was great. Quit at some point during S3.

Ya I am avoiding this kind of thing as hard as I can.
as long as Iām being a grouch Iāll add that the trend to subtitle everything really sucks for me, I understand some of the reasons itās happening (e.g. when sound designers engineer movies specifically for the fanciest theaters it can lead to dialogue thatās way harder to hear on home systems), but tldr if there are subtitles on the screen then it is medically impossible for me to not read them. But reading a movie in english sucks; english motherfucker I do speak it and Iād rather be looking at the mise en scene and shit
if someone wants a nobel prize then invent an audio setting where I can set a volume range, at one end being the quietest dialogue volume I want and the other end being the maximum volume I want for anything, and once set, then the audio of whatever Iām watching will get sorted out accordingly by robot slaves. I feel like an idiot getting tennis elbow from changing the volume so much midshow

What are you watching it on? You can always turn off subtitles unless itās cable I think.
Blame Nolan for this.
Iād try s4. Feels like theyāve been reading Agatha Christie mysteries nonstop.

yeah I mean how on tiktok etc the norm is posting content with embedded subtitles and the trend is def towards more subtitles in everything. Itās partly a generational thing; plenty of 20somethings I know prefer to have them on all the time regardless. Pretty sure this is a well-established deal, tons of pieces online about it, itās partly because of sound levels and partly because of phones and partly because trend is towards watching content more passively while multitasking and partly because we live in a godcurst postlapsarian cormac mccarthian badlands

I refuse to watch those. No spoilers! *even though Iāve played the game and know (generally) whatās coming
If you donāt want spoilers definitely donāt watch the part of the trailer that shows
Joel slumping over on a horse with Ellie shooting at someone behind them
Why would anyone watch that?
I watch the previews but I already know the story so itās different.
Great last episode although I didnāt love the zombie invasion part. Liked the little change of making Sam deaf.
Donāt threaten me with a good time

Blue check isnāt verified anymore, it means you paid for a Twitter subscription. Gold check is verified. Yes, Iām aware itās confusing.
Watched the first episode of Cunk on Earth.
Itās funny, but I donāt know if the schtick is strong enough for a full half hour. It seems like the sort of thing that should be a recurring 5-10 minute skit on a variety/sketch show.
Iāll probably keep watching it with that in mind, just watching 5 or so minutes at a time.

Ramsey stars in āThe Last of Usā as Ellie, a teenager seemingly immune to the cordyceps fungus that has transformed the world into a post-apocalyptic landscape. The actor said that her gender āhas always been very fluidā in an interview with The New York Times, telling the publication that she identifies as nonbinary and ācouldnāt care lessā about which pronouns people used to refer to her.
And of course the GOAT continues to be everyoneās Dad 
Ramsey also said that her costar Pedro Pascal, whose sister is trans, was āsuper supportive.ā The two, she said, would regularly have conversations about gender and sexuality.

the sand challenge seemed very cross fitish. I.e. there was a lot of value in being able to sustain effort at a high level for a long time without getting tired. Thatās why I think the women won
In other news, Lux Pascal is gorgeous and how is it possible that two people from the same family can be so beautiful? Itās not fair to the rest of us normal people, I swear.
crushing on both but also jealousā¦
