I went to 2 bodegas, a CVS and 3 grocery stores trying to find a diet root beer and no dice. It’s just a weird thing to not be able to get.

There are many great musical films but rarely are they better than the source material. I think the greatest improvement stage-to-screen of any musical is “The Sound of Music”. Every defection from the stage version is an improvement. Any other musical movies that are better than the original?

We need to be inviting our friends to hang at our homes more. It’s the cheapest and coziest option. Do I have $26 to see a movie? Not always, but I would like to talk to you in a comfy place for free.

I’m watching the John Adam’s miniseries with my fiancée and I’m giving him a preview of marriage by pausing and making him watch the corresponding song to the scene from “1776” the musical

People from outside NYC will say how rude and cold New Yorkers are but you will never find a group of people more willing to give directions. We will halt our day to explain exactly how to get where you’re going. And I’m so sorry ma’am, this shuttle does not go to Port Authority.

I would like to have a sit down with every talk show director who is shooting a song from a Broadway show: STOP MOVING THE DAMN CAMERA SO MUCH. If Joshua Henry is standing singing a beautiful ballad stop swishing the fucking camera around, you are losing the impact of the stillness he created.

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang".

Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

The only thing I miss about twitter is live tweeting my reaction to the latest episode of 12 Hour Day with J.D. and Connor”. Anyway I’m 5hrs and 17 minutes in.

Feels great waking up everyday knowing I’m not in the Epstein files

Me watching “Call the Midwife” to escape the horrors of the world

As a woman waiting in line to use the bathroom at a bar on New Years Eve: what ARE other women doing in there that’s taking so long? I could’ve changed my menstrual cup and done all of my business by now

“Ziwe” and “The Adam Friedland Show” are two different executions of the same tactic: guests think because Ziwe and Adam are comedians that they will deliver softball interviews when in fact they will be some of the hardest and most well informed interviewers they will encounter

Adam Friedland is really doing something special with “The Adam Friedland Show”. I’ve been watching for the last few months and his interviews have felt so refreshing and enlightening and so funny.

“Do your own research.” I want to lose my mind. You’re upset I read the study instead of conducting it? I have a Bachelors degree in Musical Theatre, neither you or I should be conducting scientific studies, you’d just like to cherry pick fake internet slop until it validates your hateful opinion.

A middle aged white woman on a landline phone wearing a wool sweater that says “Home Sweet Home” with houses, flowers and teapots on the front. This is Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher in the tv show Murder, She Wrote

A woman exits a trailer wearing a red calf-length skirt, red 3/4 sleeve sweater and red hat. This is Rachel Brosnahan as Midge Maisel on the set of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

I think I can describe my desired style as both Jessica Fletcher and Midge Maisel and I’m not quite hitting the mark

All of the men’s/women’s common area scenes on Love Is Blind looks like The Sims.

Ain't that the truth!

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I think the best case scenario for the NYC Mayoral race is that Zohran wins and Curtis Sliwa gets to be the Grand Marshall of all parades

A pet peeve of mine is actors in TV shows not holding cake boxes level. If there were a real cake in there it would be ruined!

The world is dark right now but it’s beautiful to look around my apartment and realize almost everything decorating its walls and shelves and tables holds a memory. Art made by friends, a boat my grandfather hung on his wall, hand drawn cards. Evidence I’m part of a fabric and not a loose thread.

Do they let kids use rubber cement in school anymore? You don’t hear much about rubber cement anymore and yet it was such a big part of my elementary school memories

The biggest trick Oscar Hammerstein ever pulled is that “Impossible” from Cinderella is just an intro one verse and a chorus over and over again and we all let him get away with it because they’re so good. No second verse necessary.

Look, I don’t think we talk enough in 2025 about what a smoke show Robert Preston was in 1962.

i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"

when the germans are like “yo rein this shit in” maybe someone should listen

Rewatching “Sex and the City” and the most jarring thing is just how much people smoke inside. I mean there’s definitely fashions and technology that are very 1990s/2000s, but it still feels contemporary. But the smoking inside feels so distant and off-putting even having lived through it.
