Detrimental empathy is its finest form.
I watched this with family, and my brother-in-law said he would have 100% transferred her to a female therapist as soon as that joke was paid; it’s a time bomb and career suicidal. And also said he doesn’t like it when family members are in the room with patients while he is working, they can easily get carried away with emotions and pain.
I have a lowkey unhinged theory (prob wrong since I only watched once) but the Backrooms movie is definitely connected to Spider Man: Brand New Day.
Think about it, the room with Mary’s Still Life looks just like where the scientists kept Jean in that glass room.
There could literally be still lifes of Spidey, Jean, Frank, etc. Also people expecting a straight-up Backrooms horror movie were def disappointed. It felt way more like a psychological thriller that just used the Backrooms as a setting.

Don’t forget about HER when talking about the greatest performances in Game of Thrones. 👑
Lena Headey didn’t just play Cersei Lannister; she made us understand her hatred, fear, ambition, grief, and thirst for power. Even when Cersei said nothing, her expressions spoke volumes.
She made us hate her, fear her, and sometimes even sympathize with her. That’s the mark of an extraordinary actress.
Lena Headey deserves to be in every conversation about the best performances in Game of Thrones.

Revisit Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. There's a lot more to learn from this movie than magic.
When Ron was poisoned, Harry didn't panic. He remembered what he had learned about bezoars and acted fast enough to save his friend's life.
That moment says something important about real life: what you learn today might be what saves you tomorrow.
Never underestimate the value of paying attention, learning from experience, or taking knowledge seriously. You never know when you'll need it, or who might depend on you knowing what to do.
Sometimes, the difference between a crisis and a tragedy is something you learned long before the crisis arrived.
One of the funniest things about the SNL Joke Swap is that the person who knows you best can also be the person who knows exactly how to embarrass you.
Colin Jost and Michael Che aren't just telling controversial jokes. They're watching each other deal with words they didn't choose, in front of millions of people, with no chance to prepare for the reaction.
That's what makes the format work. The writer gets the satisfaction of setting the trap. The reader has to live through it.
In a strange way, it's also a test of trust. You have to believe the other person knows your limits, even while giving them the opportunity to make you deeply uncomfortable.
Sometimes the funniest part isn't the joke. It's watching someone you respect realize you've set them up perfectly.

病院の清掃員が夜、臨終の患者に付き添っていたが、家族が感謝を伝えに来るまで誰もそのことを知らなかった。
彼女は夜勤だった。
薄い青色の服を着た、小柄で丸顔の女性。 制服を着て、モップと黄色のバケツを持っていた。
彼女はとても静かに動いたので、人々は彼女がそこにいることを忘れてしまった。
看護師たちは彼女のそばを急いで通り過ぎた。医師たちは下を見なかった。訪問者たちは足を踏み入れた。 彼女は濡れた床を見回し、ため息をついた。
彼女は気にしなかった。
その夜、一番奥の部屋で老人が死にかけていた。
近くに家族はいなかった。 訪問者はいなかった。ただモニターがゆっくりとビープ音を鳴らしているだけだった。
看護師たちは別の病棟で緊急事態に対応していた。
清掃員は廊下を清掃し終えると、自分の部屋のドアの前で立ち止まった。
彼女はモップを見つめた。
彼のベッド脇の空いている椅子を見た。
それからモップを壁に立てかけ、部屋に入って椅子に座った。
彼女は彼の手を取った。
「ここにいるわ」と彼女はささやいた。「あなたは一人じゃない」
彼は戸惑いながら目を開けた。
「誰だ？」と彼は言った。
「友達よ」
彼はかすかに微笑み、再び目を閉じた。
彼女はそこに4時間座っていた。彼女はとても静かに古い子守唄を口ずさんだ。彼女は布で彼の額を拭いた。夜明け少し前に彼が息を引き取ったとき、彼女は彼の 彼女は両手を合わせ、毛布を整え、短い祈りをささやいた。
それからモップを手に取り、仕事を続けた。
彼女はこれを何度も何度も繰り返した。 何年も。誰も彼女に頼んだことはなかった。
ある晩、黒いコートを着た女性が花を持って病院の受付に現れた。
「私は、 「夜勤なんです」と彼女は言った。「先月、父がここで亡くなったんです」
受付係は眉をひそめた。「清掃員はたくさんいますから」
「彼女は父のそばに座っていたんです」と女性は声をつまらせながら言った。「看護師が話してくれたんです」 「私です。海外にいました。間に合わなかったんです。誰かが彼の手を握っていたと聞きました。」受付係は廊下を見渡した。
奥の方では、薄青色の服を着た小柄で丸顔の女性が床を拭いていた。
花を持った女性が彼女の方へ歩み寄った。
彼女は何も言わず、ただ両腕で彼女を抱きしめた。 年老いた清掃員は驚いてモップを落とした。

Some more #Carrie thoughts: Amanda wants to kill Carrie and Emaline, but what if she's completely wrong about them? What if she's so focused on preventing another prom disaster that she fails to see the bigger picture? What if the real threat isn't Carrie and her kind, but people like Amanda who are willing to kill based on what they might do? Either way, I don't think her intentions justify her actions.

The most terrifying thing in the room is sometimes the person nobody else can see.
Cecilia Kass spends her life trapped in a relationship with Adrian Griffin, a brilliant scientist whose wealth and intelligence make him almost impossible to escape. One night, she risks everything to flee his isolated home while he sleeps.
She believes getting away from him will finally give her freedom.
Then Adrian supposedly takes his own life, leaving her a fortune. But Cecilia cannot shake the feeling that he is still watching her.
Strange things begin happening. Objects move. Doors open by themselves. Someone seems to be standing just outside her vision. Whenever she tells people what is happening, they see nothing.
And slowly, everyone begins questioning her sanity.
Then the situation becomes far more sinister. Cecilia discovers that the invisible presence is not simply haunting her. It is deliberately destroying her relationships, manipulating evidence and making her look dangerous.
Adrian has found a way to become invisible, and he is using it to turn Cecilia’s entire world against her.
The police cannot catch what they cannot see. Her friends cannot understand what they have never witnessed. And every attempt Cecilia makes to expose the truth only makes her appear more unstable.
But she knows something they do not.
Adrian does not need to be seen to control her. He only needs everyone to believe he is gone.
Now Cecilia must stop running from a man who can disappear at will and find a way to prove that the monster she escaped never truly let her go.
Because sometimes, escaping an abusive relationship is only the beginning of the fight.

Ultron explaining that Edith was identical to Peter Parker in the sense that they have to carry unbearable pain but keep moving forward regardless of the circumstance is genuinely amazing storytelling and gives a clear reason as to why Edith was given to Peter 
If only she truly remembered who he was :(
(I know she made a reference to her previous owner being a Junior, but it doesn’t seem like she knows who the person is just the fact that he was in school)

半年間、私は毎月9,000円を払って、アーケード近くの小さなパン屋の裏に車を停めていた。
仲介していたのは、ケンジという男。
契約書なんてなかった。毎月1日に送金アプリで支払うだけ。
ところが先週、ケンジからLINEが来た。
「来月から月12,000円になるって。土地の持ち主が値上げするらしい。悪いね」
正直、いきなり3,000円の値上げはきつい。
そこで、自分で土地の持ち主に話を聞いてみることにした。
翌日、私はそのパン屋に入り、食パンを一斤買ってからレジの女性に尋ねた。
「あの、裏の駐車場を管理しているのはどなたですか？」
女性は自分を指さした。
「私だけど。どの車？」
窓の外を指さすと、女性は私の車を見て、すぐに察したようだった。
「ああ、あの白い車ね。あなたもケンジさん経由？」
「ケンジをご存じなんですか？」
女性は少し笑った。
「4月に、うちの駐車場で勝手にお金を集めているのを見つけたのよ。警察に相談することもできたけどね」
私は思わず聞き返した。
「えっ、じゃあ、最初から知っていたんですか？」

I'm 58, and I've spent nearly 20 years working overseas to give my family a comfortable life.
My wife and I have two children. Our daughter, 23, recently landed a good job and has started paying her own bills. Our son, Daniel, is 26 and still lives with us.
Daniel has a business degree, but he has no interest in working.
A few years ago, I paid for him to pursue a professional accounting qualification. He failed the exams repeatedly, not because he couldn't understand the material, but because he barely studied.
Eventually, I stopped paying for the classes.
"Dad, you're putting too much pressure on me," he told me.
"Daniel, you're almost 27. I'm not asking you to become rich. I'm asking you to learn how to support yourself."
He shrugged.
"I'm still young. I'll figure things out."
Meanwhile, he woke up around noon, spent hours playing football with his friends, and rode his scooter around town without a helmet. Whenever he received a traffic fine, somehow, I was expected to pay it.
I had worked through exhausting years abroad, missing birthdays and family occasions, because I wanted my children to have better opportunities.
I never imagined that providing them with a comfortable life would make one of them afraid of responsibility....or perhaps simply unwilling to accept it.
Last month, I made a decision.
I stopped giving Daniel spending money.
If he wanted new clothes, expensive outings, or money for his friends, he would have to find a way to pay for them himself.
My wife thought I was being too harsh.
I told her we couldn't keep financing a grown man's refusal to grow up.
Then, two weeks later, Daniel came home looking unusually worried.

Walking out into the night air after watching Oldboy for the first time was a core cinematic memory, staring at the pavement in stunned silence, realizing Korean cinema had just permanently ruined standard Hollywood revenge plots for you forever. 😭

結婚式まであと二か月という夜、婚約者のダニエルが私に言った。
「結婚式を延期したいんだ。」
私は手に持っていたコップをテーブルに置いた。
「今、何て言ったの？」
「式を延期したい。」
「冗談でしょう？」
「冗談じゃない。」
私は彼を見つめた。
私たちは一年以上かけて結婚式の準備をしていた。会場も予約し、招待状も送り、両親も飛行機のチケットを手配していた。
「どうして今なの？ 何か問題があるなら、もっと早く話せたでしょう？」
ダニエルは両手を組んだ。
「自分が本当に結婚の準備ができているのか、分からなくなったんだ。」
私は息をのんだ。
「私と結婚したくないの？」
「君のことは愛している。」
「その答えでは、何も分からないわ。」
彼はうつむいた。
「結婚したら、生活が全部変わるだろう。家のことも、お金のことも、子どものことも。僕は、自分がそれに耐えられるのか怖くなった。」
私はしばらく黙っていた。
「それは、私も怖いよ。」
彼は顔を上げた。
「本当に？」

Nobody in my family understood why my grandfather kept one chair permanently empty at the dinner table.
He never let anyone sit in it.
Not even when we had guests.
Whenever someone asked, he’d simply say,
“That’s not your chair.”
When I was little, I assumed it was an old man’s habit.
Then, one Thanksgiving, I moved it.
My grandfather immediately stood up.
He looked genuinely frightened.
“Put it back.”
I’d never seen him react like that before.
I asked him whose chair it was.
He wouldn’t tell me.
Years passed.
My grandfather got older, and eventually he moved into a nursing home.
Before he left the house for the last time, he gave me a key.
He told me it opened a drawer in his bedroom.
“There’s something in there I’ve been waiting to give you.”
I asked what it was.
He just smiled.
“You’ll understand the chair.”
I didn’t think about it again until after he died.
Then I remembered the key.
I went back to his house.
The drawer opened easily.
Inside was a stack of letters tied with string.
Every letter had the same name on it.
My name.
But the oldest one was dated twenty-six years before I was born.

My company promoted the coworker I trained, then asked me to explain to him how to do the job I was denied.
I had worked there for three years.
I was the person everyone called when a client threatened to leave, a project fell behind, or a system stopped working.
My manager, Rebecca, always told me the same thing.
Rebecca: “Keep this up. When the senior position opens, you'll be my first recommendation.”
I believed her.
When the position finally opened, I worked weekends preparing a proposal showing how I could improve the entire department.
Two weeks later, the announcement came.
The promotion went to Kevin.
He had been on our team for eight months.
I congratulated him publicly.
Then I walked into Rebecca's office.
Me: “Can you explain why I wasn't considered?”
Rebecca: “Kevin has a fresh perspective.”
Me: “I've been doing half the responsibilities of that position for over a year.”
Rebecca: “You're excellent at execution. Kevin has more leadership potential.”
I left without saying another word.
But the real betrayal hadn't started yet.

Every morning, I saw an elderly woman walk into the café, buy two coffees, and sit alone by the window.
One day, curiosity got the better of me.
“Ma’am, why do you always buy two coffees when you’re here alone?” I asked.
She smiled sadly. “My husband and I used to come here every morning. He passed away three years ago, but I still order his coffee.”
My heart broke a little.
The next morning, I arrived early and paid for her two coffees before she came.
When she arrived, the cashier handed her the cups and said, “Someone wanted you to know you’re not alone.”
The woman looked around, tears filling her eyes.
Then she whispered, “Thank you. Today is our wedding anniversary.”
Sometimes, the smallest act of kindness reaches someone on the day they need it most.
