If you’re 6’ or taller the “no elbows on the table” rule shouldn’t apply. A dinner table is too low to comfortably rest your forearms. It’s bad etiquette to make me suffer

One of the greatest of comfort dishes.

C’mon… this is almost as asinine as Eli Roth’s “Like a surreal David Lynch movie” pull-quote for KEEPER.

Oooh no new other movie tonight. Because Episode II is on!

Did the Celtics lose a bet that their floor looks so shitty?

#287: Good Boy (2025) - I simply was not expecting a horror film from a huggable dog's perspective to be one of the best movies of the year. ★★★★★ / ★★★★★ letterboxd.com/josephfinn/f... #firsttimewatches2025

Half an hour into GOOD BOY and every human is only seen from the chest down. Oh yeah, this move knows what it is doing.

Catching up on GOOD BOY (2025) and already this dog is one of the best actors of the year. Also whomever is doing the light work is a master.

Bro.

@hitchdied.bsky.social Weird question, listening to the Ghostbusters episode and I’m always curious about kids being exposed to older movies. How old is Kameela’s daughter?

It’s always a good idea to not be the main character of the day. This dude figured out how, instead of muting the word for a few days, to make it all about him.

Absolutely easy choice. One is the brilliant 3 Feet High And Rising. The other is a Pixies album that I think is way, way over-ranked in the bracket.

Hi Roger.

Have you started your turkey yet? www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcAx...

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit. It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

It's wild to me that pension fraud helps you live longer. Do what you love I guess!

Sometimes you’re at a used bookstore and you immediately go, “It must be mine.”

OK but I need this on a t-shirt.

This @sepinwall.bsky.social article that mentions great TV Thanksgiving has excellent choices; I just want to add in Mad About You, where Paul and Jamie are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time & chaos ensues. It’s really sweet as Paul’s mother-in-law keys in and causes a crucial distraction.

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

I really wish Vinegar or someone like that would get ahold of this and put out a nice disc.

This is so wholesome.

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

Oh. My. God.

It's telling that all the "stop the infighting!" replies are directed at you and not at Newsom. Why aren't embracing transphobia, giving friendly interviews to fascist podcasters, and brutalizing the unhoused considered deliberate attempts to sow division among Democrats?

FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK YOU LEGEND RIP, Udo.

Fuck Harry Potter, watch SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

I’m always here for a discussion that uses Mere Christianity. I’m not religious or spiritual but I think it’s a fascinating text to read Lewis’ very well-written perspective.

Kind of a last laugh as the signs are officially up for the old Borders location in Oak Park is finally getting a new tenant. Barnes & Noble.

Just sharing this again...I'm like 30 subscribers away from my goal for 2025 (free & paid). With losing my part-time job, I'd love to be able to focus on what I love while I figure out the rest. Any shares/subs would very much be appreciated. Thanks. 🖤

Go spiders!

Edward Hopper's The Penguin

I should have gotten a hot dog to tide me over for dinner. The chicken sandwich at Devil Dogs on Belmont is awful.

Holy damn hell that’s amazing.

My Cubs fan sister gave me this hat when the Sox won in 2005 and it sadly gave up the ghost so it was time to replace it! Hooray for the Lids employee who immediately knew what I meant by “the beach blanket uniform.”

It’s time for The Cure to disintegrate the reign of the Pixies do little album

I never understand how these things happen, but as a point of information: Netflix is now carrying the 2022 AMC/BBC series THIS IS GOING TO HURT starring Ben Whishaw. It was not much seen in the U.S., I don’t think, but it is excellent.

Hey loo, I found more laserdiscs to frame and and hang on the wall! Love that old-school Criterion of I AM CUBA.

Why yes, @microsoft.com, I will HAPPILY provide you feedback on how exactly I feel about Word right now.

Everyone always talks about IDIOCRACY like it predicted what we're going through now when really 30 ROCK was the one that got it right.

Ithilien was the first cat that said hello when I started dating Christina. She jumped on me like crazy, snuggled like crazy, she was my hello cat to the family.

This is coming up in a few hours!!! Washington DC come say hi! <3
