Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) was the first character to call Derek “McDreamy” in Grey's Anatomy Season 1 Episode 2, titled “The First Cut Is the Deepest.” The Cardio God called out Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) for making out with Derek in the elevator in response to a “bad day.”

„rot“=red and „Berg“=mountain. „Roter Berg“ = red mountain. „Berger“ is also a common German surname, that comes from the root „Berg“ and is possibly a term for a person living in the mountains or a shepherd. Or „Rotenberger“ could mean: „a person from Rotenberg“, as there are many places in Europe called Rotenberg, including mountains, hills, towns and castles.

I kind of want either Matt or Jen or both to be quizzed on pop culture. I don’t know. I think it would be hilarious. Also I’ve realized how much pop culture has been crammed into my head because I knew a lot of these answers 😅

[@FirstRuleOfFC]

Finsta's aren't anything complicated. They're just an alternate acct for more famous people to post more personal things for friends and family. The politician who was asking about ending finstas had no idea what he was talking about, he was just using a word he heard and assumed it was a bad thing that social media companies do

[@Sothebabes]

It’s not only for famous people either. Many middle schoolers / high schoolers make finstas and use them as a dairy/meme dumps

If it makes you feel better, you can share your problems here. Please have a good week and be kind to yourself. It will be ok.

American here. The phrasing on running for/being president is something to the effect of "natural born citizen", so you have to be a citizen from birth but you can be born abroad (ie on a US military base and/or to at least one American parent)

As an old Taylor Swift fan I can tell you that the we are over the JG hate, at this point is a meme in the fandom because we lived through the pain with her 10 years ago, but the thing is just now that locals are finding out about the story behind all too well and it's so relatable that everyone that has experienced heartbreak is projecting their feelings in that hate towards JG

The politician that was addressing the executive of Facebook on a bill I believe to do with changing to Meta or something was telling Facebook that they needed to stop Finsta in a language that assumed “Finsta” was a separate app like Facebook and Instagram. The executive was trying to explain it to the old man politician that finsta is a process by which customers of Instagram create a second account. The politician didn’t understand and kept “mansplaining” Finsta like Facebook and Instagram…. It was painful

My favorite soundtrack is "Pacific Rim", because I love how deep and dark the instrumentals are and how the bass line is front and center and that nearly never happens. Most songs use tubas, sousaphones, trombones, and baritone saxes as a mechanism to deepen the harmony. The title song on Pacific Rim actually used these as most of the melody.

I think Birds of Prey had the best soundtrack of at least all movies I've seen in the last decade. The songs went so well with the movie, and it's great to listen to on its own. Plus, all of the songs (for the OST) are by women, which ties into the theme of the movie.

"I think it's one of the best series finales because of the final scene." Newhart would like a word...

[@tinytebs]

total side tangent but as much as i love the final scene in Seinfeld, the best ending to a show ive ever seen was Weeds with no need to spoil the show the entire cast just sits on the front porch as a family and smokes a joint in silence soaking up all the crazy up and downs that have happened over the past few years its so simple, yet such an amazing way to say “hey its over but the ride was worth it”

[@kianna270]

yes!!! i’ve always loved the ending of weeds. i was super satisfied with that ending, unlike a lot of long running shows that tend to want to make their endings so shocking that it kinda ruins the show (like how i met your mother)

I completely agree that it's super weird to call a significant other baby or babe. I've had a couple of boyfriends that thought I was weird for not calling them that.

[@ninaasf-ck]

I call my puppy "babe" when around other people because I think it's funny when they look around and realize I'm talking to a dog and not a significant other. Because yes, it is *super* weird and luckily I've never dated anyone who was into it.
