Jack Hughes’s Golden Tantrum

Whitney — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:27:06 +0000

There is much I could write about men’s hockey. If you want to know the character of a man, all you have to do is wait for him to tell you who he truly is. Jack Hughes (of the New Jersey Devils and also of the Gold Winning US Men’s Olympic hockey team) has been...

Broadchurch vs Gracepoint

Whitney — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:35:14 +0000

In my never ending search for shows to have on while I work, I finally sat down to watch Broadchurch – and then later Gracepoint. Broadchurch is a three season series that begins with the death of a boy in Broadchurch, a small coastal town. Starring David Tennant and Olivia Coleman, the show is packed...

Into the DNF Pile: The Buccaneers

Whitney — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 19:17:55 +0000

I think we’re all looking for the next thing to watch while we work, clean, walk on the treadmill. I gave Apple+’s The Buccaneers a shot, not knowing much about it. Based on what I did know, it should have ticked every box I enjoy. I am a fan of giving every project a solid...

Guess who’s back, back again

Whitney — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 10:29:39 +0000

Well, that was fast. TikTok is back, and the message welcoming back Americans thanked Trump. I’m pleased to see a number of creators who are glad it’s back, but feel like it’s been tainted. At moments like this, where you have Zuckerberg sounding like every toxic podcast bro, Elon vying to be treated like he’s...

On the temporary death of TikTok

Whitney — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 01:10:28 +0000

For some time, Sunday Mornings meant that I would get up to feed Ash (he does not understand the concept of sleeping in – he is a cat who wants his breakfast) and scroll on TikTok until everyone else woke up. This morning, it meant logging in to a ton of meta push notifications, and...

Flightlessbird: a hoax and responsible activism

Whitney — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 01:47:23 +0000

Over on TikTok, my FYP was dominated last week by a woman whose screenname was flightlessbird. She was documenting the sudden and scary spiral of her husband in a mental health crisis – where he was turning her family and his against her, and threatening to have her committed. She admitted this week, that the...

Review: The Lost City

Whitney — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 22:30:42 +0000

The Lost City was another movie that we’d meant to watch awhile ago. We decided to watch it while celebrating our anniversary. This ended up being the perfect choice, as it’s a story that’s filled with romance. Not always in the way you might expect. Think of it as if Indiana Jones was written to...

Review: Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves

Whitney — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 22:20:11 +0000

This had been a movie on my to see list, and we’d planned on seeing it in theaters, but life got in the way. I am Dungeons & Dragons adjacent. I’m someone who plays a multitude of tabletop games, but not D&D regularly. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and written by them...

Rachel Zegler and the internet mob

Whitney — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:16:43 +0000

I made a promise at the start of the strikes not to give any struck companies promotion for free. And so much has happened, but I’ve been content to write drafts and save them. Something that’s happened online this week requires a comment (without talking about the movie itself). The silence from a lot of...

Twitter continues it’s downward spiral, what now?

Whitney — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 15:42:37 +0000

I’ve previously written two versions of this post, talking about Twitter’s downfall and my thoughts on successors. So I thought I’d go through the good, the bad, and the buggy. In the last week alone, Elon rate limited Twitter, made it so that you had to login to see tweets – which resulted in Google...
