The One Where One Tiny Word Replaces A Tinier One And It‘s Very Cutesie
So long brat 💚
It’s demure, obviously. You know how I‘m starting today’s episode cutting right to the chase? Very mindful.
The TikTok algorithm really did its thing again. After doing wonders for Resa Teesa and her travel plans, the platform has allotted the next 15 min of spotlight to Jools Lebron.
It all started with the creator schooling us on her demure and mindful office look:

And now POTUS‘ social team has jumped on the bandwagon which is rolling full steam ahead to insurance companies, canned good brands, and office supply chains trying too hard to apply the catchphrase two months from now.
Basically:
Good for Jools though, chat shit and get rich girl. She’s booked and busy and paid enough to finance the rest of her transition. And people still want to make this app illegal.
Speaking of chatting shit though, boy oh boy, does Blake Lively need to zip it. For her own sake. I don’t know if anyone really expected any profound words of wisdom from forever Serena van der Woodsen. But I for sure did not expect her to be so oblivious as to ride the coattails of a movie about intimate partner violence to promote her hairline and her tone-deaf sense of bland humor. If you read anything about It Ends With Us today, read this piece by Hunter Harris.
If It Ends With Us is indeed a girls night movie, as Lively is selling it, I would be interested to meet those girls. (They are all the meanest women you went to high school with, and they all work for TSA.) It is not a particularly deep story of overcoming abuse, either. It’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore by way of a “Live Laugh Love” sign, Enough powered by 50 Shades of Grey (the ogling of ritzy interiors, the designer treats, the ‘complicated rich guy’ of it all).
Another solid addition to the hate watchlist. Spectacular, gimme 14 of ‘em right now.
On the topic of watchlists: I just reemerged from my rewatch of all seasons of the Umbrella Academy – and like many was disappointed by the finale.
However, at this point I can’t even remember a good finale to a beloved TV series. Game of Thrones? Lol. Killing Eve? We don’t talk about that here. Sex Education? Meh. So I‘m mostly preoccupied with finding another show whose characters I adore so wholeheartedly. I WANT KLAUS BACK!
As I‘m still in mourning, I‘m cutting today’s episode short to dull my pain watching Real Housewives of Dubai.
Next on Previously On I‘m going to try and not lose my mind over work because it‘s seriously cutting into my TV and TikTok schedule and that’s just no way to live.
That being said, for today’s outro we got:

Great read as usual.
