CJeff Satur's fanbase is having a collective meltdown on X, and honestly, they've earned this one.
LWhat's he done now?
CSigned with Universal Music Southeast Asia. New album, a Bangkok stadium show, and a full world tour starting late 2027.
LA Thai artist getting that Universal push is a big deal. The production values jump instantly.
CAnd the fans are posting things like— one account, ridethebigsurf, just listed: new album, world tour 2027, fanclub livestream. Like, checking off a wishlist.
LAnother one posted something darker. You know what, the post is dark. She's listing upcoming releases as reasons to keep going.
CThat's the thing about fandoms like this— what looks like tour spam from outside is someone's actual lifeline.
LAnd that's worth sitting with for a second. Music keeping someone afloat until the next release... that's real.
COn the brighter side, the fandom has a name— Saturns, or Saturn. And they are already arguing about the setlist.
LOf course they are. The tour is two years out!
COne fan posted: no need to rush the album, just give us the tour. Preferably Asia or Southeast Asia. Parentheses, crying in my dreams.
LThat's fair. Thai artist, biggest fanbase is likely right there. But a world tour means Europe and the States too.
CJeff Satur himself is interesting— singer, producer, actor. He's not just a face; he actually writes and produces his own stuff.
LAnd that's what separates him from a lot of the idol pipeline. He's a creator first.
CWhich is probably why Universal wants the global rollout. He's the kind of artist who can cross over without a language gimmick.
LExcept the songs are mostly in Thai, which in the U.S. market still gets treated as a novelty.
CBut look at Bad Bunny. Look at BTS. The language barrier is collapsing.
LBTS sang mostly in Korean but also did English singles when it mattered. Satur's team will have to make that call.
CWell, the fanclub livestream will tell us how international this really gets.
LSpeaking of shows people are bingeing— Drew Magary finished Slow Horses season six and called it the best show on TV.
CSix seasons in, and it's still building? Most shows fall apart by season three.
LGary Oldman's Jackson Lamb is one of the great TV characters of this decade. He's disgusting and brilliant in equal measure.
CAnd Drew Magary is not a soft critic. If he's saying it's still the best, that means something.
LHe finished it so fast, I suspect he did nothing but watch Slow Horses for a week.
CA week well spent. But I want to talk about Murderbot, because Seth Skorkowsky's post stopped me in my tracks.
LThe Apple TV Plus series? With Alexander Skarsgård?
CYeah, and Seth says three episodes in, holy crap this is great. And then he drops this detail: John Cho appears in Murderbot's favorite bad TV show within the show.
LWait, that's meta. The Murderbot universe has its own terrible soap opera, and they cast John Cho in it?
CThat is the kind of worldbuilding that tells you the adaptation understands the books.
LAnd the books are beloved for a reason. Murderbot is this deeply anxious, introverted security unit that just wants to watch its stories.
CWhich is incredibly relatable. Give me a protagonist who would rather stream garbage than talk to people.
LI am in this character and I don't like it.
CSeriously though, fans of Martha Wells' books have been burned by adaptations before. This one apparently nails the tone.
LAnd Skarsgård is a good fit for the deadpan internal monologue. He can do hilarious with a straight face.
CDifferent corner of the culture: someone on Bluesky dug up a clip of Lily Tomlin walking off The Dick Cavett Show in 1972.
LOkay, what happened?
CChad Everett described his wife as his property. Lily Tomlin stood up and walked off the live show. Just left.
LThat's not just a protest. That's saying: I will not sit next to a man who talks about a woman like that on national television.
CThe post frames her as proving the power of being unapologetically yourself. And Snopes has verified the story.
L1972. She was on a huge show, at a time when women were still fighting for basic respect, and she just left.
CAnd it wasn't a tantrum. It was a quiet exit. The most powerful kind.
LEverett apparently kept talking as if nothing happened, which tells you everything about that era.
CAnd Lily Tomlin went on to have this massive career. She's still working. You don't have to accept the nonsense.
LBetween that and Jeff Satur's fans booking their 2027 calendars, the internet is giving us both ends of the spectrum today.
COne more fun one before we go: Lauren Theisen wants a TV show where Amanda Seyfried and Nathan Fielder solve mysteries together.
LI would watch that in a heartbeat. Seyfried plays it straight, and Fielder is just... doing whatever Nathan Fielder does.
CThe pitch came out of nowhere, sparked by people discussing Elizabeth Holmes's home life, which she says she doesn't care about.
LBut the show idea? That's the good part. Pure chaos pairing.
CSomebody in Hollywood, write that down. Amanda Seyfried, Nathan Fielder, one murder a week.
LI'd watch it for the deadpan interrogations alone.
