I watched Backrooms (2026)
According to Internet lore, the Backrooms began on the website 4chan in May 2019. An anonymous post started circulating in a thread-based subsection of 4chan that called for "disquieting images that feel off." Hence, this post: an image of an empty office building with yellowing walls and burgundy carpet. The caption beneath the picture read as followed:

Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Rivals 4
The Challenge just brought Cutthroat back, and it needs to bring back some other iconic themes. We saw Rivals on the 5th season of All-Stars but we haven't seen it on a flagship season in a while. It's time for it to return, and let's make it male/male and female/female teams just like Rivals I and Rivals II.

I have come to resent Daria
I loved Daria which is a Spin off of Daria from Beavis and Butthead until she stole her best friend Jane Lane’s boyfriend and that left a bad taste in my mouth. Whoever writer thought of this idea is wrong I mean Daria represented the outcast and a brain but somehow she became like her sister Quinn who was stealing boyfriends on a daily basis. I don’t like how Daria betrayed Jane by taking her man Tom but what makes it even worse is that Tom willingly went along with her. No wonder why Beavis and Butthead were coming down hard on her, did they know something that we didn’t? Daria turned out to be a bitch and she stole her best friend Jane’s Boyfriend Tom. They even had a cha cha number for her “Diarrhea Cha Cha Cha”.

Rest in Peace to Tim Curry
Tim Curry passed away and I am going to miss him terribly. He will also remain as one of my favorite actors beyond space and time. Some of my favorite movies that Tim had done are first of all he was the butler in the Clue movie released in the 80’s. Of course, Tim Curry is Dr. Frankenfurter in the iconic film “The Rocky Horror Picture show”. Dr. Frankenfurter is my favorite part of the movie. He had one hell of a singing voice also. My mother had a cassette of a Tim Curry album “Read my Lips” there are a lot of cool songs like “Birds of a Feather” and the song “Wake Nicodemos” which is a killer metal and Hard rock about a folk tale which I believe is a Scottish folk tale. Also for a Disney compilation Tim Curry did a great song an interesting take on Davy Crockett.

My thoughts on Roseanne
The series Roseanne really jumped the shark. After a few seasons of the show that represented nostalgia and the 80’s. John Goodman who starred as the iconic Dan Conner and patriarch of the Conner family saved the show for me. Unfortunately, the series is depressing and soul draining at best and energy draining. I know that the show is about a blue collar and working class family in the Midwest but still with too much of a slice of life can become depressing because the message that that sends is that nothing is going to get better and there is nothing that you can do make things better you can try but you’re screwed.
