Ted Lasso, which is supposedly about soccer, but actually it's about like human relationships and how we how people get along and just like super heartwarming and funny.

I recently rediscovered Ted lasso the first time I watched it I I got tons of recommendations it's hilarious I didn't connect to it I just didn't connect to the umor I was like ah okay fine you know I stopped watching it um and then I I heard a podcast where somebody recommended watching it from a point of view of like Leadership Lessons and they just couldn't stop recommending they just so passionately recommended it and I was like okay let me revisit this um and when you watch it from that point of view it's mind-blowing

TV show is a toss-up between the Mandalorian and Ted lasso I know it's not very new but I don't watch tons and tons of TV and I usually find like the few that I latch onto and then I get obsessed with and then I gotta take a break for a while so those are my last two obsessions

What they also use

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
