Someone on tt just said that Barney’s addiction to suits is actually about being addicted to ❄️ and my mind is blown. I don’t know how I didn’t realize that after religiously watching #HIMYM for 9 seasons and as a go-to comfort show since. It totally tracks, too.

Ok I got to the end of episode three, I get it now. It’s really just a long pilot with three parts.

And they’re always so tone deaf in their timing, too. Like “the Senate just approved the nominee…” Like ok? Tell your friends in Congress to do something about that, my $5 doesn’t do anything.

I really want to like #andor but these first three episodes are slow, please tell me it picks up.

I STILL cannot get over some of Jack O’Connell’s line readings in #SINNERS. When he goes “Sir” in faux offense when he can’t go in the juke joint? And yes “SAMMAYYY” is hammy but also so menacing and seductive. I’m just gonna say it: I would have been out there.

Saw the Worcester video. I’m just saying these ICE people are going to FAFO with the wrong group very soon and it’s going to be a tipping point. Add the heat of summer and watch what happens when a neighborhood is that activated.

Done with job search for now. This market is too volatile and recruiters are even more awful than usual. Too many inexperienced recruiters looking for candidates for roles they do not understand. Too many spam requests. Too many fake listings. Not worth the heartache.

My husband, visibly confused just now, “Garfield… assassination?” We just had a (too) long conversation to affirm that Jim Davis, creator of Garfield the Cat, is alive and not assassinated.

Bad day for JD. www.thedailybeast.com/new-pope-leo...

i dont believe any of you care about the pope this much

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

*drunk at the conclave* nooooooo don’t pick him he sucks

Whatever my sense of humor is, Michael Longfellow is definitely it.

Instead of telegraphing how you, the company, feels about something, maybe explain about how the customers should feel about it or why it’s exciting. Look at this press release by Apple for the first iPhone. Not a thrilled to be seen.

Stop. Using. Thrilled. In your corporate announcements. No new product announcement has been *thrilling* since the iPhone and even then they did not use that word in the press release. There is no corporate announcement that fits the definition of thrilling. It is my BIGGEST copy pet peeve.

A reminder that the #MetGala is a fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute which preserves historical costumes. This year’s theme is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. It’s an event supporting arts and culture. When did we start hating the arts so much?

Judy Gemstone experiencing character growth while having a heart to heart with a helper monkey is exactly what Righteous Gemstones is about. Jesse walking away from a duel, Kelvin finding happiness out of the closet in a treehouse, Eli finally healing from Amy Leigh’s death - It was a great finale.

Unpopular opinion: kind of want to see this Alcatraz thing play out. 🍿

I could be wrong but is that the first time we see Kelvin, Judy and Jessie actually pray on #RighteousGemstones? Anyway, I thought it was the perfect finale for a bonkers show, and a good bookend to the season opener.

It will never fail to amaze me how delulu these people are. George Lucas is not a conservative, you idiots.

I’m in good standing with my loans and I STILL got notified today that this is happening.

Please please check your credit reports - either Credit Karma or Credit Sesame or your credit card’s default monitoring tool. Don’t be blindsided by this collection report.

Prediction: Don’s approval rating is about to nosedive even more. Student loans start collections tomorrow. I’m dealing with a nightmare right now and I found out it’s because of that and an old loan. Wasn’t just us blue folks that borrowed money, GOP.

Some expected. Some surprises. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Just me, ready and waiting for the day when I’m asked the trivia question “Who is Phil Collin’s longtime lead guitarist and collaborator?” and can emphatically leap up with my hand raised after keeping people guessing the whole night if I was even having a good time. (It’s Daryl Stuermer.)

Lowest I’ve seen it here - in Texas where gas prices are typically lower than national average - is $2.60 in North Dallas/635 area.

Mark Carney is kinda hot in a beekeeping age sorta way.

You know what’s so funny to me about the SATC movie? There are literally regular people just going to the library as Carrie goes through the most dramatic event of her life. I think that’s beautiful.

Let April 2025 forever be known as the month I saw SINNERS twice and discovered Russian manicures. Truly a banner month.

Love #Thunderbolts. The ending is probably one of my faves, right up there with “I am Iron Man”. I actually like John Walker now, which I never thought I would say. Yelena is perfect. The asterisk is important. And this one’s for the Bucky girlies (i.e. me)

World is on fire, leftists continue to yell about how we put out the fire. “Well the hose wasn’t going to spray water in the specific way that I wanted it to so the house should burn down!” That’s what you all sound like. Still. Even now.

I love #HACKS because it can take a lame Katy Perry song/ tik tok dance mom and make it into the most painful but also joyful and fun two minutes of tv I’ve ever seen. I understand Ava’s mortification. I also get Debra’s acquiescence to data. This is what writing fully rounded women looks like.

I bought extra paper towels and tp in bulk. Note: I did not panic buy. But I think maybe adding an extra pack or going to Costco is prudent.

Can’t stress this enough: this was how this movie is meant to be seen. It is overwhelmingly beautiful in its intended form (70MM film). The aspect ratio changes become even more important. *That* scene is more powerful, more poignant. Remmick is more terrifying.

Y’all wanted her to say something. (I think waiting until his first 100 days and the negative press around him this week was *chef’s kiss*)

I still talk to Jesus, yes But I call up psychics when I need advice 🎶

“Oh, I’m not on tik tok what’s happening over there” “Uh the men are fighting a gorilla.” ??? “No really, it’s very important.”

Naloxone prevents funerals. Naloxone (narcan) helps people using fentanyl/heroin live long enough to try again. It is beautiful, damn near magical harm reduction - not just giving opioid users another chance - but also giving their family & friends the ability to literally save their lives.

The How to Train Your Dragon series is the best animated franchise, it’s not even close. And Hidden World is the best of the three.

Seeing Al Gore on the timeline lately is crazy. Like he went dark for 20 years only to ramp up a 2028 run now? That’s kind of a boss move. I think he could win, too.

one of the greatest letterman performances AND one of the great (greatest?) rock songs of the 2000s youtu.be/SlHrCg67axw?...

What would encourage you to add to the baby supply?

Men who get this get this? Get *it*

In other not Sinners movie news, I took my nephews to see Minecraft last week and I have never felt so confused in my life. It was basically like watching a foreign film with no subtitles and all of the people you were with are cheering and fist bumping at the jokes you don’t understand.

My sister and I were taught how to use Narcan and had it in the house because we needed to know how to administer in case my mom OD’d on one of the many pain meds she was on, including fentanyl. Having it in a home or at schools saves countless lives every year.

For anyone wondering: yes kybella is worth it, but holy shit is it uncomfortable.

On last retweet, I think it’s really important for us to avoid the “everything is over” thinking because that in itself is a form of complicity. The more we call out bad behavior, call out reps, yell, show up, call foul - the more we slow them down and show history we did not agree. It matters.

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

There is only one theater in Dallas playing the 70MM version of Sinners. There are several IMAX versions but not 70MM. So I looked at the seat situation all weekend at this one theater and EVERY showing (like 10am-10pm) has no seats except for the front row. This is movie is something special.
