Gotta say, between the central air dying when it's 900° out and the furnace dying when lows are approaching freezing, both of which happened this year, I preferred the AC. I didn't have to drive 6 hours round trip to buy the right part.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Me: [minding my own agnostic ex-Chr*stian business]
The tiny DJ in my brain that absolutely hates my guts: So anyway, here's a 90's Chr*stian pop song you haven't thought about since then. It's gonna be stuck in your head forever. Bye
Me: WHY
Avalon: FOR AS LONG AS I SHALL LIVE I WILL TESTIFY--
@samreich.bsky.social Hi Sam! I have a question that, don't worry, totally isn't maybe creepy or unsettling:
I'm planning to cosplay you in Game Changer at Gen Con this year. Out of curiosity, where is your suit from? I'm a stickler for details and I'd like to get as close as possible.
God. GOD. I hated just TYPING that. 🤮
So it's through gritted teeth that I admit that I stayed off my phone this evening after work except to occasionally text and not only is my mental health better, the evening didn't feel like it was 10 minutes long.
My toxic trait is that I absolutely hate it when people who advocate for sImPlE tHiNgS yOu cAn dO tO fEeL bEtTeR are vindicated.
Someday I'll stop being obsessed with the Sinners soundtrack and score. That day isn't today.
Totally get and identify with Marvel fatigue, but Thunderbolts is GOOD. Go see it. Gave me a good, cathartic cry throughout the last third.
Had a FedEx driver notice my painted nails, stop, excitedly ask to see my nails, and then tell me they were “fucking fire.”
If you think I’m not gonna be carrying that compliment with me all weekend, you are INCORRECT
Me, minding my own business at work:
My brain, unprovoked: Honk honk, honk honk, honk honk! Seatbelts, everyone! Please, let this be a normal field trip! With the Frizz? No way! Awwww! Cruisin’ on down Main Street—
Love it!
Did we do it? Are we great now?
Finally finished Sunrise on the Reaping and now I feel like I need to cleanse my soul with something happy. Jesus.
Just kinda thinking out loud here—I could be wrong, of course.
larger projects (Toy Story Land -> Toy Story 4, Galaxy’s Edge -> Rise of Skywalker, Cosmic Rewind -> GotG V3, etc.) Offhand, Tron at MK and Pandora stand out as the only major projects in recent years that didn’t have a new film tie-in. Have to imagine profits are turned more quickly this way.
This feels to me like it’s more about ensuring an ROI than anything else, and I wonder if the insanely quick ROI Universal got on IoA’s WWoHP has something to do with it. I feel like Disney started doing this with Mission Breakout (which IIRC opened circa GotG V2) and hasn’t stopped for a lot of
Also we agree that Kingdom Hearts II already covered the core conflict of this episode, yeah?
SPOILERS AHEAD:
Mark going with Helly objectively makes zero sense. I was so afraid the love triangle would derail the show into a situation I didn’t care about and I really fear that a potential season 3 couldn’t possibly course correct from here.
The first 95% of that Severance finale: I was already sad I’ll never get to watch it for the first time ever again
The last 5%: Fonzie’s skis are on, the boat is in motion, Ben Stiller is at the wheel, and the jump is in sight.
You ever just have one of those days where all of your clothes irritate you because they make you look cis and straight**, so you buy $60 worth of nail polish about it?
**Context: You’re neither.
One good reason for Democrats to show up for Mahmoud Khalil is you're all fucking next
Genuine question: How is it that Mitch McConnell was able to trip up so much legislation over the last few Democratic presidencies as Senate Minority Leader but Democrats cannot manage to do the same? Is it “they go low, we go high” from Chuck? I’m so sick of feeling like this.
You could always just delete your Twitter account, you know.
If I mysteriously disappear, you know it’s because I missed a day of French.
Wanted: Someone to whack me with a pool noodle when I get too close to my fridge so I don’t mindlessly eat something and ruin my endoscopy prep. Successful candidates will be paid in food, as long as they share.
