insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

Oh my god, they've captured his magnificent hair beautifully

I am older now than Pete Falk was when he began playing "Columbo" and I will never be at peace with that

Happy to have joined my neighbors in taking out the trash and sprucing up the local school board.

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

low-key obsessed with the Jesus Halloween novelties at Oriental Trading Company. it's like a window into a universe alien to any I have inhabited.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

On Lt Columbo Day never let us forget the episode where Columbo explains to a fitness guru how Mrs Columbo is thick, that he likes her thick, and how he will do anything within his power to keep her thick

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

I love Robert and his pod but he based virtually all his research on my biography of Vince McMahon, RINGMASTER, so please consider buying the book as well as listening to the pod series: ringmasterthebook.com

Apparently channeling Chappell Roan, the crowd along Walker Street in Houston has begun singing, “G O T T O G O this motherfucker has got to go.”

new gender neutral greeting just dropped

Same, Dorian. Same. #criticalrolespoilers

David Lynch’s family asking for the world to honor his birthday with ten minutes of meditation at noon PST on Monday. 🩷

Watching the most recent batch of Cobra Kai episodes. This show has always existed in a bizarro world where the world revolves around youth karate tournaments, but it’s gotten so much sillier.

Looking at the upcoming @tcmtv.bsky.social listings. Monday is MLK Day-related movies, good stuff. Tuesday’s daytime programming is entirely devoted to movies about resisting various fascists. Edge of Darkness (1943) is at 5PM but didn’t fit the screenshot. www.tcm.com/schedule?ici...

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her. His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”

When google killed Reader, the incredible community that was early blogging died almost instantly, and I will never forgive what that did to erase a whole generation of brilliant women writers who also happened to be isolated mothers.

We all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you.

We are rewatching DS9 right now and it is so fun.

Doctor Who means i don't trust cute things any more. This company is clearly harvesting electricity from a poor defenceless space octopus.

Of course, his full name is Theagar Mandalorianagon

Spotted in the wild.

I feel for all the Houston-area parents who desperately need their kids to fall asleep for Christmas Eve activities, but instead it’s almost 2AM and there’s a massive thunderstorm with bands of hail and whatnot.

I haven’t seen anything about the Amazon strikers calling for a boycott, and boycotting without the strikers asking is counterproductive. It seems right now the best way to support is to contribute to the strike fund if you’re able (or share with friends who are able)

I wish the various current Star Trek series had more episodes so there was more room for everyone to solve some problems on the Footloose planet or the moon where there’s a solvable environmental crisis that gives a crew member a chance to fall in love with a local who eventually dies.

Tonight we’re doing one of my favorite holiday traditions: driving around looking at Christmas lights, then having dinner at Denny’s while they’re decorated and playing Christmas music like when I used to study for finals with @meredithea.bsky.social in college.

Which of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the least popular? And most popular? TMNT was slightly after my time so I don’t have a good sense of the general opinions.

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts

In my neurologist’s packed waiting room. They have MeTV playing on the big screen. Among all the ads for walk-in bathtubs and whatnot, I just saw an ad with Tony Hawk selling supplements for people taking statins. So if you’re anywhere near my age, it’s time to schedule your colonoscopy.

I knew there was a reason @texasannie.bsky.social and I did our best work in college at Denny’s

I often have been the person responsible for remembering others’ birthdays in both work and friend groups. I’m good with dates and it’s fine, but it sucks when my own birthday gets trampled every year. It’s on or around Thanksgiving (the day before this year), so it’s inconvenient for everyone.

I went outside, put on a crown of antlers, and went to Texas Renaissance Festival with friends.

"Aye, the sirens," says the lighthouse keeper, picking a bit of tobacco from his beard. "Some nights, when the wind is just so, I swear I can hear 'em singing." "What do they sing?" I prod him. A faraway look in his eyes, he says in a voice barely above a whisper, "Tubthumping."

I am recovering from this week’s major abdominal surgery, an old-fashioned hysterectomy. It has been ROUGH. I prepared as well as I could ahead of time, but there’s no avoiding the pain and long recovery from a huge incision across my belly. Having a Bad Time over here.

Sitting in a doctors office yet again, getting pre-op clearance for upcoming surgery. It takes a surprising number of appointments like this to get approved. Everything is taking forever.

Zach Woods tiktok said “nerves are just carbonated vulnerability, so try to enjoy them” and I wanted to share that with you all

My thoughts go out to all the brooding private detectives in LA who have been compelled to monologue during the rain for almost 72 hours straight

Submitted for Hollywood’s approval

this just reminded me this meme exists

TEXAS BLUESKY: shoot me some names of trans rights orgs in Texas (either statewide or Dallas area ideally) y’all like that offer resources for youth I’m looking at the Transgender Education Network of Texas but would love more suggestions

D&D! A map of our party’s neighborhood, currently under siege. We mopped the floor with the undead berserkers, but the floating neighborhood above ours is starting to fall. We…can’t do a lot about that.

I sing both ways 😏

"If you deplatform Nazis, well, they'll keep popping up elsewhere" is not an argument for continuing to platform Nazis. It's an argument to keep deplatforming them.

we wish you a merry gyre we wish you a merry gyre we wish you a merry gyre the center can't hold

A two page spread of Green Arrow seeing a touring production of CATS that you have to rotate the book to read is a bold choice.

Love it.
