Oh my. That silhouette (the squared shoulders!!!) as she comes up to the stage during that transition from intro to the song is just divine!!

Check out this sword stuck in a stone!!

don’t call me angel of the morning until i’ve had my coffee

[Inside the gates of Troy] This horse looks great but it stinks to Olympus, what the hell is inside. [Outside] AGAMMEMNON: Our Trojan Hearse isn't working ODYSSEUS: Trojan...horse AGAMMEMNON: Hearse ODYSSEUS: Horse, filled with men AGAMMEMNON: Hearse, with dead ones ODYSSEUS: no. no no no.

Me:-wearing a beret I've had since college, just living my life- My wife: what are you, John Travolta miming in Cannes? Me:-ripping beret off head- Guy hasn't done anything good since Face/Off and he has managed to ruin my day like a bad Elmore Leonard adaptation (what the hell was Be Cool).

just saw a video of a guy running after a bus he missed and then another guy passing by in a cargo bike told him to hop in the front basket and the they passed the bus and the cyclist dropped the dude at the next stop 😭😭😭 www.instagram.com/reel/DXzdVAX...

Do me a favor, would you, since bluesky is suppressing HER but might not ME, and share this deep dive of Ash's about Caroline Cossey aka Tula, among other things a trans Bond Girl in For Your Eyes Only. Can you get people to share this and save it to watch later and subscribe, to combat this bs??

The Cure's Robert Smith perfectly sums up the difference between Americans and Brits.

if you're a vampire trying to get into someone's house try this one cool trick. knock on the door and when they open it say thank you. they'll say you're welcome and then you can just go right in

What I love about Marilyn Monroe is that she was a reader. She had books so many books in her home. My favorite pictures of her are of Marilyn reading. Happy Birthday, Ms. Monroe.

The rules require that I post this poem whenever the topic of pockets in women's clothing comes up.

Rise of The Machines

Yf A.I. were trulye an excitinge and promisinge world-changinge technologye the storyes tolde about it woulde not involve so much destructioun of the planet and of the human spirit. The worde itself wolde not come to mean, as it hath, the arrival of dystopian crueltye and the breakinge of art.

the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter

Sit down & strap in: it’s a long, wild #Scottish #literature 🧵… What 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotsman was caught up in a civil war before he was 20? Wrote a book that inspired an Oscar-winning film? Met a runaway teenager in Paris & married her against the wishes of his family? Lost his ranch to raiding Apaches? 💙📚 1/18

the fuck it will

In case you didn't know: THIS is what a bald eagle actually sounds like. That scream you usually associate with bald eagles is from a red-tailed hawk. www.youtube.com/shorts/tASKp...

Quote with the doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of who actually is

I wanna say a little something that's long overdue / the disrespect to women has got to be through / to all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends / I wanna offer my love and respect to the end -MCA, Beastie Boys, "Sure Shot, Ill Communication Happy Mother's/Mothers'/Mothering Day

Apropos of nothing: ...pirate feet have trod the clean-thatched floors of my soul,... --Bukowski, Charles

Today is the anniversary of my HIV diagnosis. I was 30 and had lost many friends to AIDS. The doctor told me that with treatment I could expect to live another twenty years. That was 28 years ago. HIV changed. Tell everyone.

These new taco bell commercials are intense

Remembering Edward R. Murrow on his birthday 🎂 📷 Elliott Erwitt, 1953 "We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home."

Today in Teaching in Higher Ed

First of Stat for Psyc, Prof walks in, drops her stuff on the table, then says, "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics." I have been keenly interested in stats ever since. Anyhow, anything to advance the field...

Gonna be a lot of people whose last words are "Is...that...Nicole Kidman?!"

This is history we should include when we teach about the power of people to advance humanity. As a kid who watched the Challenger launch live at school I wondered what would come next. And how. How we got to space in the first place matters. I'm gonna learn about my new favorite 11 people.

I did 12 years in Catholic school and they never taught us about the Pope's approach to crime

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

The typo changes the headline's implication dramatically

Okay fine, if nobody is gonna post The Bishop sketch after "The Pope is WEAK on crime" then I guess I will. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqga...

Yeah. I know. But Thundercat's on bass. Classic ST

every other part of my cousin vinny gets posted all the time for good reason but god i love this stupid joke

This is what science can bring: smart people dreaming big and working alongside each other to see what's out there - together. There's just SO much that can get done this way. I wish everything worked like this - politics in particular. We can do better. THIS is what better looks like.

A true crime podcast but it's me interviewing my bully from elementary school to see if he is still a jerk. I've already cyber-investigated: sure is! But I get down to if he still has the GIJOE figure he ripped off from me.

Given how they met, then later patched things up, Jack Tripper and Teri Alden, RN, should have ended up together on Three's Company. I'd have watched that show. She has a Nurse's station at his restaurant, which they live above. Had this thought when I was 10 and told no one. Until now.

Cherry blossoms this morning in Jackson Park

Prince used to own a horse and he lead it around on a purple rein. I've got my coat and I've thrown myself out.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I just really need you all to know that my neighbor, Cecilia, is the lead for what she calls a "Giallo pop band" called Sisters of Black Mountain. I have no idea why she is not, like, selling out stadiums. Please re-post this, the music is wonderful. sistersofblackmountain.bandcamp.com

There's an Asimov short story where everyone gets jobs uploaded into their brains, but they're out of luck if the jobs change at all, except for a special few who are supposedly an unteachable institutionalized underclass, but in reality are where new ideas come from. Anyway, it's been on my mind.

I just googled and the crew are all 47-50. All 1970s GenXers old enough to have watched the Challenger launch from a TV cart in their school gym. Dang.

It brings me great pleasure to inform you the word "blurb" is named after a made-up woman named Belinda Blurb whose job is to tell everyone how great a book is

I forgot that today is the day to make this joke oops

Enjoy this Chuck Norris anecdote from Jessica Simpson's memoir

happy the fugitive trying to blend into a parade day to all who celebrate

Happy St Patrick’s Day! The most brutal Irish curse I’ve ever heard is go ndéana an diabhal dréimire de chnámh do dhroma ag piocadh úll i ngairdín Ifrinn. It means “may the Devil use your backbone as a ladder to pick apples in the garden of Hell.”

Nope. Hard disagree. Great actress, sure. But in the one scene that should have driven across the horrific grief, she was unconvincing. Everything else was perfect. Rose Byrne carried IIHLIKY. She is why I stayed glued to my seat. AN Oscar worthy performance.
