something about being in my late 30s really has me sitting at the window watching the birds jumping in the little dishes of water i set out for them in the garden, i can’t get enough of this shit despite having no preexisting interest in the business of birds.
I can’t ever do the “post your favorite movie from the year you turned 18” thing because I turned 18 in 1999 and I would lose my mind trying to pick a favorite. Too many intersections of quality and nostalgia.

Also the plot is ridiculous. The only way we can deal with this situation is find someone in the service who can maybe out gamble him! (I know it’s the film plot too but it’s more ridiculous in a book).
Yes, I read it for the first time in years last year (after going to Lisbon where the casino that inspired it is). Many of the lines make you baulk, I think the first one that elicited an eye roll was “she has splendid protuberances, front & back”.

"Star Trek is too political now"
Bro we had a black lady and a RUSSIAN serving on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 60s. Pretty fuckin political then.
First interracial kiss, too. First lesbian kiss in the 90s in DS9. Several races of aliens that don't adhere to a gender binary-- need I go on?

I think it’s a toss up between this & Malcolm’s Star Wars monologue.

Tbf they have a landing on it again plan. With Artemis IV. In 2028. My main concern is that they’ll do it on a different date. My whole life I’ve been obsessed with the moon landing being on my birthday. If moon landing take 2 isn’t on 20/07/2028 I’ll be v sad. (I hope NASA are taking note).
Wait, they aren't even going to land on the moon?! They just checking it's still there?

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was making you really tired all day then making you rally once it gets dark so you stay up too late and it all happens again.
Actually this may not be the Devil, I may be doing this to myself.
