...why are the bathrooms at Dallas Love Field the worst airport bathrooms? Old LGA had better and more accommodating bathrooms than this airport.

The original thread is about politics but I see a lot of people shirking some sort of social responsibility and in a lot of cases, it just seems like human nature, but when it overlaps with What A Better Future Can Be, it feels weird and unproductive. Two recent examples.+

ok, but WHY is the proof in the pudding? and who put it there? Now we're just sitting here with pudding covered proof and a mess on our hands.

My brain: Oh, you're not as depressed as you were yesterday!!! You know what? I'm gonna do something special! I'm gonna get the theme song from UP! stuck in your head now!! Wouldn't that be GREAT?

One thing that always cracks me up about theater etiquette clothing discussions is the assumption that everyone else, but not me, is a poor unsocialized rube. But not me. *I* will dress up for the theater but also maybe the person in the front row at Hamilton is dirt poor.+

Honestly, one of the things I wasn't expecting was the inner sudden desire to not attend my mom's funeral, mostly cause there's a small toddler inside me who thinks if I don't see it, it doesn't happen.

I don't want to call it a *sin* for various reasons but my one complaint against Sinners is that Jordan repeatedly takes off his gris-gris bag by yanking on the bag so the leather thong breaks and there's only one scene were that motion makes sense and in the others, it's a trope that annoys me.

I've often wanted to be on a reality tv show but I'm not under 35 with a six pac and more importantly, I'm not sure I have the acting to swear that voting between getting rid of Ottoman or Celery from the other team is the hardest decision I'll ever make or how much I love these people I just met

Everyone at the gym is really fucking hot today. My inner self esteem angel says I should include myself in that. My inner dysmorphia demon says I'm the one person who should be excluded.

Is there such a thing as an external hard drive that doesn't go corrupt and unusable after 6 months?

I'm distrustful of anyone spouting "All women are beautiful princesses and all men, except Steve, are disgusting rock trolls" especially when it's from and towards queer people.

Honestly, I wanna see Tammy from #1000LbSisters crash out on everyone on #BattleCamp

What TV producer decided to have the eliminations on the next episode of a show? This is so not what anyone wants.

God speaking to John during Revelation

I hope the op doesn't mind the quote post cause I really really like what this says. I come across a decent number of atheists who debate Christians and it's very glaring, even as a a Christian myself, how much they accept the Christian framing of scripture, without pushback.+

Finally saw Sinners last night. 1) The company I was with were ... weird? Talked throughout the whole movie including constantly trying to point things out or do like ... boomer grandparent questions which got annoying for a group of 30-40somethings. 2) Apparently, no one has heard Irish music+

This is such a small thing but I'm loving the cold weather dog breeds who are collectively "...what do you mean come inside? We finally have decent weather"

I'm about to go watch TV before bed but to my minimal followers, there's a lot of accounts saying dumb ass shit out there that have no followers, nothing on main, barely a profile. This isn't new and it's not just on here but I think we need to block if we haven't already been doing so.

There is something in seeing three takes back to back 1) a complaint about how people read today, especially on The App That Shouldn't Be Named 2) a complaint about that, with the idea of people reading is a good thing and this isn't a literacy crisis 3) A reader saying Dickens uses too many words

I'm suddenly reminded, in a "How didn't you know?" way, of when the class the year before mine convinced the middle school Latin teacher they should watch Caligula for educational purposes.

There's a thing I see in "Christian vs Atheist!!" debates where the atheists are all "well, do YOU stone disobedient children?!" as some sort of Old Testament mic drop. Is there an inter Jewish version of this? Not like Jewish vs Atheist but more liberal vs conservative Torah mic drop?

One thing that seemed to have happened regarding the Read Another Damn Book meme/critique/online snark clubs is that people did go to read another book. They just read The Hungey Games and decided that all forms of visible wealth are The Capitol.

Honestly, I don't think it's the phones, but it probably is the damn phones.

Maybe it's my brain working like this today but I just want to be clear, this wasn't a knock on the entire Romantasy genre. I think it's just like any other genre and yet it gets singled out as the Downfall of Humanity as compared to, say, James Patterson or Dan Brown.

Apparently, y'all aren't ok. Which I mean, I'm not ok too, but I'm trying to channel that energy into other things.

I'm catching up on My Stories and I've seen better acting at a $5 ticketed avant garde production put on in a trash can in Bushwick than this weird Greek play done by ... Are these actors? Are they the kids of production? #RHOSLC #BravoTV

BookTok is going off at the moment, because of 1) Wuthering Heights and 2) because someone said "you bitches need to stop only reading the shitty romantasy novels" and I feel like it's been a project in reading comprehension. A lot of WH is from people who HAVE NEVER READ THE BOOK and say so+

Are y'all ok yet? Or should I stay away some more and continue to touch grass and focus on my mental health *long pointed stare at the rest of you with the telepathic suggestion y'all need to do the same*

Toupee's in Houston was a lesbian owned restaurant that shut down probably during W's admin and became generic pasta establishment. I have no idea was it is now. I remember none of the food they served or if the coffee was good but it was a really peaceful place that had a cute open mic night.

In an attempt to talk about other things, I just picked up Kingdom Hearts III because I'm nothing if not terminally behind in almost all gaming systems and releases (Shadow of the Erdtree and Tears of the Kingdom were exceptions). While I finish another game, what should I know/have played first?+

There's a debate starting on TikTok that goes into my favorite annoying online conversation. Third Spaces. I love this conversation mainly because a lot of people act selfish but frame their decisions and wants as universal good. Someone sat at a tiny NYC cafe for 3 hours taking up a large table+

I'm watching the original Ocean's Eleven and I'm surprised at the way these men look. Like who gets a toupee, who gets that aggressive hair dye/shellac, who gets a comb over. Also, seeing laugh lines, shoulder hair, scars, neck wrinkles. I feel like the heroine of a Scott Westerfield book

I am 443 pages into this book and it's set in 2069 and this angel/demon dude that has been a slow burn (and it's not even a romantasy) just took off the heroine's greasepaint make up with leftover curtain fabric and redid her hair into an "elaborate chignon." All of this was done in a supply closet.

I'm absolutely fascinated at the way you can say something and have a shit ton of people in your replies yelling about something you absolutely didn't say.

Hrm. I wasn't expecting to be compared, multiple times, to "not all men." That's a new one. At least for me

I find it ... fascinating that I mentioned nothing about politics or the current geopolitical events going on and yet there's a good chunk of reply accounts in my replies screaming about American elections.

I know this is a tense subject and time but I gotta say that I'm getting a little frustrated at the way many folks who want the US to understand the cultural nuances of their country and view Americans as unlearned, immediately act like we're all the same hive mind regarding... a lot of things.

Does anyone like the new Outlook?!!

I'm at a work party and it's ...weird? cause all of y'all are like here doom scrolling and honestly, I probably would be doing something like that if I wasn't in the office, but everyone here (and we are a VERY diverse company) is just like ... Middle aged and vibing to songs they used to get down

This podcast host pronounced the "t" in beignets and I think I need to unsubscribe.

The MTA has started doing this thing where if you activate your online ticket AFTER the departure time, you get dinged or charged or something along those lines, among other things. What's ... fascinating? about people whining about this is how many people are upset they can't game the system.+

Continuing with my Wuthering Heights dispatches, there are a lot of responses of people who say they're excited to see something New and Innovative. Though, digging, it often feels like those are from folks who haven't engaged with WH before. So, what's exactly New and Innovative here? +

Can I be that 🚬 and say that I actually kinda hate this? I'm sure they'll be fine, but neither are right for the part and I'm kinda tired of this sort of stunt casting, even though I know that the current theater business model is based on that. Maybe I'm just jealous.

WAIT THIS IS THE BOOK I WANT AN ANIME OF!!! There was once when I was sorta toying with Ghibli style fan art but that didn't really go anywhere. Fuck, I need to draw something again.

"Cat Chant admired his elder sister Gwendolen. She was a witch. He admired her and clung to her." from Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones

Whenever the subject of "is it ok to stand the moment the plane lands?" comes up, it's always "I have [medical issue/pain] and have to stand up RIGHT NOW" which I think is a vaguely valid response but on most planes, there's one spot to stand for 6 seats and I never see anyone check with others.

In a lot of the books I read (mostly in the fantasy and sub related genres), people get ...fucky about food and I have questions. 1) Sometimes it feels like any description of food gets labeled as food porn. I've seen someone say TOLKIEN is a food porny author and ...? But that dovetails into+

There are so many but if I had to pick one, forever, it would probably be The Vision of Escaflowne

Side note, Historical Accuracy here can mean a lot of things but for the record, I'm looking at the "Lady Featherington's dresses irk me" side and not the "Why are there non white people in Bridgerton?!" side.
