From slavery to the boxing ring in Georgian England!
Two black men, born as slaves in north America, went on to become high-profile boxers and celebrities in Georgian England winning big cash prizes. But the fights were racially charged despite their popularity. And both men would die penniless. These are the forgotten black boxers who struggled but ultimately failed to become world champions.
It’s the heart wrenching story of how one of them, Tom…

in seasons one and two, the colors of ted lasso are bright. vibrant. it’s one of the things that helped the show stand out when it first released - so many shows nowadays are dark, and i don’t mean in terms of their content. i mean in terms of their color grading. everything is muted, washed out, shrouded in shadow. ted lasso was the opposite of that. it was rich, colorful, to reflect the show’s optimism and inherent joy.
i first noticed it when the theme song rolled in s3e1, but the color grading has been different this season. user @strawberryswords mentioned it too, that the beginning of the season didn’t feel the same as the rest of the show, didn’t feel like a comedy, because ted wasn’t living in a comedy anymore! his depression was sinking into the foundation of the show, right down to the color grading. the team hasn’t felt like themselves all season, distracted by zava or by their losing streak, but this episode, they FINALLY figured themselves out.
and i GASPED. when the color grading was fixed. if you look for it, you can tell - after richard scores the goal against arsenal, the colors are vibrant again! the green of the pitch is warm and bright, the boys’ yellow kits are almost GLOWING. they figured it out. they’re a team again. multiple people have mentioned how episodes 6 and 7 have felt so much better than the beginning of the season, and that’s intentional!! after each of them individually being in some kind of funk, they have found their optimism again. ted lasso is once again about joy. and i’m so, so, so glad to see it.

Last night I had the utter pleasure of speaking to Richmond Parakhen and Susa Jean of Studio Bad Egg about their AMAZING Cipher Cult Kickstarter - a huge campaign for the coolest Bill Cipher Merchandise in history.
They gave us huge insight into toy production, exclusive packaging previews, never-before-seen concept art and more, and hinted at some future stretch goals.
If you want to view the presentation and its contents in real time with the video, just pop over to it here - some of this stuff hasn't been seen elsewhere, and let's face it, it's SO cool!
Don't forget to back the campaign - there's 17 days to go and you're already guaranteed some really nifty merch. If the campaign manages to raise another £28,000, you'll unlock this AMAZING GIGANTIC FORD PIN! FORD MERCH FORD MERCH FORD MERCH
I've been speaking to Richmond and Susa about some amazing stuff they're working on RIGHT NOW to add to the campaign and you guys are not prepared for the sheer cool that it will involve. This design lead, fanciful merch is the perfect tribute to our triangular tormentor and Alex has had a hand in all of it. It's so cool!
Even if you just buy a lower-priced charm or hat-lifting Bill pin, you'll be contributing to bring the fandom even more amazing goodies!
(please enjoy my hideously British voice or I'll scone you to death. Get it? It's like stoning but - but it's scones. It's- it's- you get it.)

I’m getting everything in the Studio Bad Egg Cipher Cult Kickstarter 👁️ I’ve been wishing for high quality Gravity Falls merchandise, especially jewelry, since 2022, and now it’s finally, finally happening!! I’m so excited to hold these funny little triangles in my hands :)
I’m glad I usually don’t buy myself things unless they’re practical and don’t impulsively spend money, so I can do things like this 🥳
