I deeply appreciate that they animated Tenzin to look exactly fucking like J.K. Simmons.

I’m watching Big Red and it’s honestly so impressive that Chris Evans made such a good Captain America. Without the steroids he’s just a nerdy weirdo. I’m here for it for sure, but, dude’s got *range.*

This is your annual reminder to stock up on Shirley Temple 7Up.

I’ve discovered the secret to a truly great turkey is to make it taste as little like turkey as possible.

If you’ve never watched Babette’s Feast on Thanksgiving, you should.

I watched all of ER for the 1st time recently & just started X Files. I’m completely obsessed w/ everyone’s normal-ass, human looking hair, teeth, & skin. We’ve got frizz, greys, nicotine stains, wonky teeth, wrinkles, acne scars. It’s magnificent! Instagramification of Hollywood is a travesty.

Well, unsurprisingly, #Sinners holds up like gangbusters to a second viewing. If it’s back in a theater near you this weekend, it is—and I cannot stress this enough—WORTH seeing in a theater.

The manicurist saw yesterday was on the newer side, so I was able to sweet talk her into doing an almond shape that my nails were honestly much too short for. At the time, we laughed at all the blood, but today I know I could never stand up to torture. I would cave immediately.

Ohhhhh shit this explains so much

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Due to some roadwork work, and my partner starting up the school year this week, I am stuck today with the unfortunate and insurmountable task of…feeding myself. So far I’ve had 3 mini bags of chips and half a leftover bag of sugar snap peas. Nailing it.

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

Has anyone written a dissertation on why Charles Xavier didn’t turn into Kilgrave? I would read that paper.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Florida is literally what happens when the HOA takes over state government.

Can someone please explain Kal’a baby bangs? His friend has the exact same extremely stupid look. Is this a thing now? Has the broccoli given way to the Julius Caesar? #LoveIsBlindUK

They’re totally going to do this.

Katisha: “I think he’s my Mr. Darcy!” Me, from the couch, mouth full, not looking up from my phone: “nah girl, he’s your Wickham.” 3 episodes later… Me (still not looking at the TV): “called it.” #LoveIsBlindUK

I went and got my flu shot today. And then I got a treat because I was brave.

Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.

I will watch this video of this guy and his excellent hat 100000 times. Can someone please take a video of beach hat cat that is 17 hours long?

I’ve had a tradition going the past several weeks that I call Pizza Saturday. I used to order a breakfast pizza, but eventually realized that I actually prefer just a regular cheese pizza. Extra cheese. For breakfast. On Saturday. That’s it. That’s Pizza Saturday. It’s the best day of the week.

Me (to myself, in the mirror, after spending an hour looking at 1920’s T-strap Mary Janes online): “YOU DO NOT WEAR SHOES! Do not buy shoes. You hate putting things on your feet.” Me (pouting): *doesn’t buy any shoes* *orders a pizza*

There is no both sides in this. There is occupier and occupied. Oppressor and oppressor. Those instituting genocide and those forced to endure it. There is no nuance in extermination through mass starvation. No nuanced discussion in gunning down hungry people searching for food.

I’m watching Now You See Me 2, & honestly, it elevates both properties immensely if it’s also a sequel to Harry Potter. HP would never grow up to be a well adjusted husband, father, & LEO. He would 100% become be a creepy weirdo, delighted by muggle sleight-of-hand magic w/out using any real magic.

Howard Stark (on Agent Carter): “The government wanted me to develop something so soldiers could stay awake for days at a time.” Will (watching): “They already have that. It’s called meth.” Me (googling): “did wwii soldiers do meth” Google: “Oh yeah. Hella meth. All the meth.”

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

A thing I think we miss is that the “authoritarian playbook” isn’t a set of instructions authoritarians are reading from, it’s just a list of things that happen when narcissists get too much power.

The sluttiest character to ever appear on screen is Jeff Goldblum’s Malcolm in Jurassic Park.

I finally got around to watching #ThePunisher, and I’m pretending it’s a prequel to #TheBear.

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Me [watching #IronFist (don’t ask)]: “Why does that guy look so much like Murray Bartlett?? Does he have a twin???” [Looks at IMDb]: “Oh.”

It’s so humid today that if I sit in front of a box fan with my eyes open, my contacts fog up.

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

Who was Jordan’s dialect coach? B/c not only did he perfect “GI raised in Mississippi pre-dustbowl but most recently spent time in Chicago,” he managed to make GIRIMPDBMRSTI Chicago *Northside* & GIRIMPDBMRSTI Chicago *Southside* DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT ACCENTS! Just throw awards at him. All of em.

Someday I want to have a farm with a mini horse, a mini cow, and mini goats. And then also a Great Dane or a Pyrenees or some other huge dog, and a Maine coon and a Flemish giant rabbit. Ideally the bunny will be bigger than the goats. I will call it Wrong Sized Farm.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

It’s so unfair that cleavage fell out of fashion *right* when my tits got good. Enough with the turtlenecks! Bring back a deep v! A wide, deep scoop!

Not enough vampire movies include Zaouli dancing and nobody’s willing to speak up about it. #sinners

#Sinners was… everything everyone said it would be. I think it will stay with me for a long time.

#Mickey17 was great. I had no idea what was going to happen next every minute of the film, and that’s a somewhat rare experience for me. Pattinson had found his niche as a creepy lil weirdo and I’m here for it.

He’s got private golf resorts, personal jets, and towers with his name on them and yet he’s still begging oil despots for a luxury plane instead of helping people working two jobs who can’t make rent.

Another example of why the AI-ification of everything is a labor issue. Lexi and other journalists can't opt out of having their work used as training data. ('Just get another job' okay point me at all the great jobs at media companies committing to never getting into the AI grift.)

Great article with lots of perspectives from scientists who are scared to speak out — and other scientists who are scared of what will happen if they don't. Trump & Musk & Kennedy are devastating U.S. research and setting progress back decades www.science.org/content/arti... on @science.org

It’s Horse Girl weekend. We’re watching all our big sisters’ favorite horse movies. National Velvet, The Black Stallion (the only VHS tape we owned until I was like 15) and The Man From Snowy River.

Rewatching National Velvet and I gotta be honest, it slaps. 12 year old Elizabeth Taylor is giving the performance of her life. And she’s got eyebrows to die for.

Watching the Twitter documentary is like watching a horror movie that you’ve already seen the sequel to, so you know who dies. Spoiler alert: it’s democracy.

@ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social every time Brooke mentions diet culture, I want to be her best friend. It makes me feel so seen and safe with this podcast.
