Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.

Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.

Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

There is no McTry.

a very soft looking orange tabby curled up in a shape that resembles a cooked turkey. his white little boots on his back feet even look like the turkey leg dressings

why turkey shaped if not turkey

me, covered in blood and holding a fistful of wires: yeah I dunno, cardiothoracic was full up and the patient was crashing, I hope that old iPod Nano and airbrush pump keep him alive until they find a donor

I had to go to Bellevue for work today. Excited to take light rail all the way.

Eugene is recovering well, alert and joking and will go home in a few days. A big deal accident but we will be very grateful this good guy genius will recover.

Someone sent me this.

Yes, this is real.

You deserve love. You deserve safety. And you sure as shit deserve a whole lot more than you are being given or even allowed.

You are seen. You are loved. You belong.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.

Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Important cat business. You wouldn’t understand. Photo from my collection, 1972.

Everything everywhere being a prolonged existential crisis or combination dumpster/tire fire is fucking exhausting.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

Bummed, but I think the people in that room will think about SINNERS a lot more than ONE BATTLE over the next however many years.
