Last one today was Carol. Very different, very prestige, very "Christmas is hard for some" vibes. Wasn't expecting Coach Taylor, but didn't hate it. Cate Blanchette is a freakin' international treasure.
Next was Die Hard and now I know the quotes and miss Alan Rickman all over again. Could I tell you the plot? No. General "miracle of the season" vibes.
Wasn't expecting Breakfast Club Principal to be the connecting thread between these first two films and did enjoy LA Carl Winslow.
All right, it's the first day of winter break, and this year I've decided to watch movies I haven't seen set around the holidays that aren't Christmassy per se but have their fans.
First up was Trading Places (glad the insider trading guys went down, but otherwise YIKES). Scroogy vibes.
👻💀
That would drive me nuts, too! Did they not buy a kit? Did they just have a random one laying around? Is your room the only one or was this a decision for ALL rooms? So many questions!
Oh no. Why?!

Them: Taylor Swift has to be held accountable for all these totally made up accusations we're leveling against her!
Me: "I protect the family..."
Spending my last day of summer break (for me) reading outside in my hammock chair because it's only 80 degrees out and by golly it's blissful! Year 20 in education starts tomorrow 🌞
The Mexican-American designer made another bold political statement at his Spring/ Summer 2026 runway show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday, after he positioned models in a similar fashion as migrants who have been sent to an El Salvador prison.

Very surreal to be at a Bernie rally in OK when the country's pres decided to bomb Iran. The immediate response of "No More War!" was very moving, and as Bernie said immediately after, now is not the time to despair.
This. Book. 🤯
@kaylaancrum.bsky.social is magic, y’all. Protect her at all costs so I, personally and selfishly, get to enjoy all she writes.
Read Icarus, too, while you’re at it. It’s up for the Sequoyah Award.
Welp, here we go...
This was never about bathrooms. It was never about sports. It was always about fascism and scapegoating one community as enemies of the people.
We all know that fascism will move to the next group of people once they’ve chewed up our trans siblings
The Trump Administration kidnapped an activist in the middle of the night. Mahmoud Khalil's detention is a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy. He must be released immediately.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends.
Spread the word.
Must Watch. @rachelmaddowshow.bsky.social on Trump and Putin. Scary.
Absolutely A+ trolling! Bravo, Army singers! ✊🏻 #lesmis #thepeople
I just finished Iron Flame and am in no way ready to start Onyx Storm bc What. Was. That. What?!
(yes I'm a *little* behind - don't spoil me)
(will be an Andarna stan until I die)
I walked by one last weekend and physically recoiled from it - it was not a conscious reaction.
DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.
“Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect for him as the leader of a nation that we respect greatly … is living in this [Russian] disinformation space,” says Zelenskyy very politely. (Guardian)
For the record, as an American citizen, I am vehemently opposed to this. What are we doing?!
Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz (@zezvaz.bsky.social):
Amazing thread! Love, love, love this account and Nike was my favorite SB ad of the night.
Had no skin in this game (49ers Faithful, baby) but I enjoyed cheering on the Eagles this time around! 🦅 Jalen Hurts is something else, and that whole team was ready for it. Plus Kylie Kelce will be excited 😀 #superbowl
Feel bad for Paul Rudd and Paul Rudd only.
