Dan: "Is it on a lot of land?"
"Uh, no."
"Where is it?"
"Downtown."
"Well, it's an expensive college town, then."
"OBVIOUSLY. Fuck."

At least it isn't about all the Chrises in Hollywood. There are four of those at least.

Once again, my car has decided it will be a brick. Agh agh agh.

Oooh, that latter sammich sounds goooood

Shit. On. A. Stick.

Your Guide to NASA's Budget How big is NASA's budget right now? What was it like in the past? How does it compare to the rest of government spending? These answers, as well as…

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.

NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...

The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.

NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

Olympia by Edouard Manet. A naked prostitute with a flower in her hair lies on a bed looking at the viewer as a servant attends to her.

He's got Manet's Olympia beat.

Best sammich ever was a mock cochon de lait po'boy I had at Po'Boy Fest once, but that was a once in a lifetime occurrence. Shrimp po'boy from Johnny's with Louisiana hot sauce is my fave.

Gotcha. Just a small wiggling dance should be all right.

Do you have some other food or drink you like? Good ice cream? Chocolate? Even something savory?

Still giggling.
Sometimes it doesn't take much.

I do, too.

Wrote a story for @sciam.bsky.social about what happens when you give salmon cocaine (yes, you read that right), and @tomlumperson.bsky.social made such a brilliant video about it!

John Cena squeezing Tweety like that, though...ack.

Prince - Baby I'm A Star (1985 Grammy Awards) YouTube video by Liam Jordan

I watched it at the time. Once or twice it resurfaced in later years. After the disaster, the floodgates opened on YouTube, and so I found it again. I shared it on Twitter; the post went viral. Those who had seen it, remembered well. Those who hadn't were amazed. It's still beyond words. It just is.

Truthfully? I was in a serious funk this a.m. It helped to get through work, then rest and watch a romcom while cross-stitching.

I just LMAO'd at a Teddy Pendergrass song.

How Do You Know #2 Movie CLIP - Running From Bad News (2010) HD YouTube video by Movieclips

How Do You Know? is such a bizarre set piece of a film. It makes a weird sort of sense that James L. Brooks is behind it.

I have never seen this PLAYED before, only as a background to a chase scene or something. This is badass.

Teddy Pendergrass - Turn Off the Lights (Official HD Video) YouTube video by TeddyPendergrassVEVO

So, in Romcom-orama tonight, I watched How Do You Know? and now I can't stop laughing at this song.
I'm sorry, Teddy Pendergrass.
I'm so, so sorry...but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Been there.

The scope of the damage, & the enormous amounts of money, time, & energy...required to bring us just back to 2024 levels, boggles the mind. I am not sure anyone has really wrapped their heads around what this means, given that so many other areas of public life will need Marshall Plans of their own.

I’m from Shreveport. I wrote about the tragic murders of these kiddos.

a man in a trench coat is standing in front of a window in a room . Alt: Wentworth looks longingly after Anne Elliott as the confectioners shop door is shut.

I'd say I'm watching the romcoms lately 'cause I need something extra to keep hope alive lately...shit is bleak. *sigh*

A worm and a fetal pig.

a man and woman are standing in front of a crowd with the words " what am i doing here " on the bottom Alt: Owen Wilson's Charlie Gilbert asking, "What am I doing here?" at a Kat Valdez show.

I was so distressed about the car this early a.m. I ended up watching J. Lo & Owen Wilson in Marry Me while stitching and then I overheard my son calling my husband saying the car works and he could drive it home from the grocery lot, so phew.
