I had a potato, egg, and cheese taco from a taqueria run by Mexicans that all the truckers stop at the morning of my mother's funeral. In Texas. It's a standard order and it's times like this my 20+ years of living in NYC leaves my body and I become the Pace Picante Sauce commercial.

There's a lot of hot guys at the gym today (self defeatist) There's a lot of hot guys at the gym today (neutral) There's a lot of hot guys at the gym today (self inclusive) There's a lot of hot guys at the gym today (slutty)

The next time someone walking on their left side of the sidewalk wants to pass between me and the wall or parking meter two inches from me, I really wanna stop and ask "so what's going on in your thought process here?"

In an effort to meet our emissions goals, the Vengabus will be transitioned to 100% electric vehicles only.

This 90s dance party playlist is struggling to keep up with the vibes on this fuck ass Monday

A theater company I do stuff with is doing Curtains and I'm browsing the character breakdowns and it's amazing how many fall into "fucking hot" or "old. You know. Like over 50"

More places need quiet hours or sections

I don't recognize any of these people on SNL who haven't been there a while so that's like.... Two. Not even like "oh it's that YouTuber" or whatever

One thing I'm seeing a decent amount of is when people find out that something is a cover or remake and declare that the remake is better. I honestly feel that for most things, the thing we encounter first becomes The Good version.

The dude who was mad that Doothi put him in her video due to his subject matter has just released a video called Your Opinions are Terrible and You Should Feel Terrible with a ton of social media folks (none of them Doothi so it's not a reaction to that) which ... kinda proves her point?

I'll only see The Odyssey if they do a historically accurate Helen of Troy

Natasha Sonya Marya Anatole Helene Pierre And a secret gender since Andrei isn't here.

The other minor quibble I have about Beauty and the Beast is that cosplay, the Bibidi Bopity Boutique, the cast members, the dolls, etc all do her hair in this half up bun with curls when her hair is more up in a bun with a tendril. It's closer to 2005 Caroline Bingley.

I think it's time we can retire "colonizer" and "gentrifier" because I'm seeing rEaL nEw YoTkErS refer to other white people moving to Williamsburg, in modern day 2026, as such

I wasn't expecting bossa nova Only Happy When It Rains. It's kinda a bop.

Beauty and the Beast takes place after the restoration of the French Monarchy and based on Belle's ball gown is either during or after the Second French Empire. Among other things, this solves the idea that Belle was executed and solves the "Why does no one care there's a prince over there?" issue.

I dislike the fact that Alexis Mateo going "Someone brought beef to this salad" has never gone viral in the way it should have. I think about it regularly and can't find any gifs or images of it (This could be a me problem but still)

I've never seen the full succulent Chinese meal video and I didn't realize penises were involved.

So, my French is minimal. I can do basic intros, ordering off the menu, ask for basic directions, etc when traveling. Most language learning apps feel like flashcards and not using the language. I'm not sure I have money or time for a class class. Are there good recs for things to improve?

I have no idea if this is bad but I've stopped moving out of the way for people. Mostly. There are very much exceptions to this. I'm also worried about getting in trouble being 6'3" and pretty solid. But i'm tired of doing my best to have spacial awareness only to have to move more+

This brings back memories (I don't think I ever went to Christie's. Just drove past it).

Apparently I missed another explosion of the journal factory.

I'm afraid that I'm not gonna like the Odyssey but then I won't be able to talk about why because it'll be like The Last Jedi where everyone who disliked it, except for me, were the worst fucking people on the planet.

What I'm hating the most about dealing with the after issues of a loved one dying is how much we have tied up in stuff and money and how everything feels like it's not enough. I ... Think I have a better understanding of people dealing with hoarding.

I think I drank too much soda too fast and now I have anxiety

In addition to what everyone else is saying, we're rebooting The Smurfs and Scooby Doo for the umpteenth time. Also, the 90s Brady Bunch movie has MULTIPLE memes that live on today for a movie that's 30 years old about a TV show that was 20 years old at the time.

I realize y'all don't talk much about reality TV but that's one of the things that kept me on the old place. But, on Welcome To Plathville, Barry and Kim are a certain type of right winger which makes me not understand how Ethan and Isaac have gone so far down the MRA pipeline.

MICHAEL SCOTT'S FAVORITE GENUINE NY PIZZA SPOT IS BOARDED UP!!!!

My cousin's kid was playing with his ice cream truck you that allows you to dispense magnetic plastic ice cream cones (and mix and match). He told me I had to pay real money (I had a dime and gave it to him) and then he asked me to put my phone number into the register for promotions.

I shouldn't really be blindsided by this but tomorrow is the first Mother's Day since my mom died and I have no idea how I feel about that

... we're making a Legally Blonde prequel? TV show? That has her moving to Seattle when she refers to growing up in LA in the movie? Across the street from Aaron Spelling and how that's better than a stuffy old Vanderbilt, Warren. WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?

I don't fully understand the modifications of the hip abductor machine where folks are hovering over the seat (and often arching their back) that seems like it's... doing more and less at the same time.

A Youtuber named Doothi created a video about how we need to stop hate watching stuff or irony watching videos we deride as AI slop while we give them views. And since Stancil Discourse has reached new heights recently, I invite everyone to stop engaging with shit you don't like.+

I can't tell if I no longer know when school starts or if we have a lot more kids just showing up late or skipping this year

What if we got drunk off the Kash Patel bourbon and did gay shit?

In Paradise Lost, Eve serves up a fruit platter to one of the angels before we get the Heavenly Backstory. Was it salsa? Holy Salsa? Guacamole?

tired: The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was an apple rewired: The fruit was a pomagranate inspired: we don't know what type of fruit it was admired: the fruit was a tomato

Dear Father, forgive me for I have engaged in Discourse.

I really wish the world of Elden Ring was more lived in. Even Tears of the Kingdom suffers from this (which is why I wish it was later in the timeline. Even by five years and people had more ability to build and settle). I get why, say Dark Souls 1,2, and 3 are that way, but not ED in particular.

I'm still mad, even more so when things came out later, that Russell Crowe lost the Oscar in this to Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.

Seeing who likes what posts on here is ... Something. I dunno. Sometimes I like this site and I like the folks I interact with but ... Fuck. There's a lot of accounts that make it hard to stay.

When I said non binary, I meant that I tried reading Neal Stephenson and felt like it was too male™️ for me to enjoy and I read The Secret History and didn't understand the hype.

I will never understand why telecommunications companies bother to give you an account number if they're never going to use it to identify the account

Is this Peacock show The Burbs a remake of the Tom Hanks movie?

...do we have to do another lesson on what the Met Gala is and what it's doing while folks on here make uneducated Hunger Games references and talk about jars of pee?

She wore an silhouette that was extraordinary but somewhat gauche.

One of the Children Into Theater just referred to the current Chicago the Musical as The Original Broadway Production... I'm not ... judging them but they have a lot of opinions while not also being that informed (their take was everyone needs to stop trying to recreate it. Which is valid)

William Shatner in Oh Mary!

I know I've participated in this but I've become more and more but a fan of Europe vs The US social media debates. That being said, anytime I'm on the MTA, everyone speaks in a bellow and the SNCF was blessedly quiet in that even people talking kept their voices down.
