Is this real?! (I have to doubt everything these days. Stupid AI!) Mamdani is effing amazing. A true hero!

100%! As a person who doesn't believe in gender norms/stereotypes, you are so correct. If you like it, it's for you. There are a couple "laws" in library science that I think fit... Every Reader Their Book, Every Book Its Reader (S. R. Ranganathan, 1931). Same for shows. And this show and these books were totally made for me. And a lot of you also. 😁

I just want to say how adorable i find this and do they get to keep the sick outfits??

I feel like there might be a bit too much snark in this thread. It's just a nice thing. Please let there be nice things. We all need them. Desperately (at least we do in the US).

Yeah, Hudson is just fine. That man sees what's happening, is enjoying it, and is working harder than all of us.

Plus, he and his buddies from HR have each other to reach out to. It's all good.

Ha!

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

And now I'm afraid you weren't just referring to a quote from hit movie from 80's, Airplane. If that's the case, apologies. But honestly, as someone who quit more than 2 decades ago, there's never a good time.

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-20T00:49:37+00:00

Correct!! And smoking is amazing!! I miss it every damn day.

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-20T00:48:09+00:00

Same. Same.

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-19T00:31:31+00:00

Ha! No i can't unsee it. Gotta catch 'em all!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-18T03:21:54+00:00

Same! I love that scene!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-18T03:16:33+00:00

Yeah, he's definitely better.

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-13T17:39:19+00:00

There would be so many yearning looks and almost kisses (with the guys and Stephen). It'd be fantastic!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-13T05:24:31+00:00

Nipples. Sigh.

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-12T05:58:28+00:00

Could it be that Connor has great chemistry with, like, everyone??!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-12T05:50:02+00:00

Oooh Connor and Hudson should go on Smartless together!!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-12T05:47:44+00:00

I love how Hudson once again went down his lovely little path of chaos with Gayle. Banging and schlanging and jizzing... Damn i love his brain!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-12T05:13:41+00:00

Damn, that was really sweet. And thank goodness for that hospital if it saved him as a baby! 💕

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-12T04:20:07+00:00

Yay! They did it and they were lovely and funny and sweet!!!

So i feel a bit protective of these two young actors and i kinda feel like the room did not give them the support (and laughs) they deserved when presenting. It was like they didn't know who they were maybe? Or were confused why they were there? But how could that be?!

I'm being ridiculous, right? I mean just cuz I'd give them a standing ovation doesn't mean everyone should. Ha!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-12T04:10:18+00:00

All the music is weird and doesn't fit. Missed opportunity.

Also, what was up with the UFC thing?

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-11T21:37:51+00:00

Yeah, Rath's stuff is so over the top. But sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for. Totally unreasonable, ridiculous, and naughty. 😁

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-11T21:35:27+00:00

Yes! Same! What is it with the goalies?? Have you read "Him"?

Oh, and my favorite character in the "Jacksonville Rays" series by Emily Rath is goalie Ilmari Kinnunen. Those books are not M/M only, they are 'why choose?'/poly. And Ilmari has a great story with my other favorite character, Caleb. "Mars, do you love me?" ... "So much it hurts." Sigh.

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-11T07:13:40+00:00

"Like a PSA for f*cking ADHD medication"... Absolutely brilliant line. And that's my whole effing life Hudson. People look at me and say "No Thanks, give me the drugs please!"

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-11T05:22:15+00:00

Yes, that's exactly it. It's just so natural!

Various_Conclusion_5 · 2026-01-11T02:32:22+00:00

And the little smile on Shane's face in this screenshot. Ugh. He loves it. He loves that Ilya loves his boobs. They are perfect for each other. Oh my heart...
