Thank you! This is the dumbest thing I always see in modern video games.

Avatar: Fire and Ash delivers big dazzling spectacle as to be expected. Beyond those visuals however, the 3rd film in James Cameron's Avatar saga feels . . . redundant. Check out my full review to hear why I was disappointed with #AvatarFireAndAsh! #FilmSky youtu.be/Wh9_q0IB_7M

We're going to see what happens when someone tries to run one of the oldest advertiser-supported news organizations like a ideological startup that relies entirely on donations from the type of rich people who own collections of Nazi memorabilia. I love this for them.

Like my serious question for people JUST NOW shocked and surprised at the depths of Trump's petty cruelty and sociopathy is why weren't you shocked and surprised the hundreds of other times he's done this to other people?

Harry Potter tattoos. Higher regret rate than trans affirming care.

People who don’t have sisters will never get to know the joy of begging them for advice on what to wear for a job interview, date, or party, then immediately disregarding their advice and wearing something completely different

I’m gonna start watching all the Rob Reiner movies to get through the holidays

Someone compared it to dropping a bomb on a house that the police suspect contains illegal drugs.

That means Nick Reiner is either getting the death penalty or life in prison.

Just watched Dostana on Prime Video. The "straight guys pretending to be gay" premise could have been off-putting, but it was funny, the musical numbers were good and it gave me Some Like it Hot vibes, so I liked it.

This entire weekend

Shocked and saddened to hear of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle’s death. What a horrific, heartbreaking situation. It’s unbelievable. There will never be another like Rob Reiner. That man had a great understanding of comedy and funny people.
