Stuff to do and lattes to drink at Lola’s.

For a sci-fi movie that still cuts the mustard, 1972's Silent Running had the effect on me that Project Hail Mary has on young people today. This thoughtful sci-fi movie imagines an Earth ruined by climate change, and a man all alone with his robot pals. 4 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/06/03/s...

Ya know, we spend too much time talking about guillotines when tree mulchers get the job done, too.

if cryogenics actually works i hope the people of the future treat those defrosted rich fucks like absolute shit.

worked at one of these p/t for 5 years. “oh hey so a book was on Oprah? the cover was yellow” “where’s nonfiction?” (literally all but one wall of the store, but 99% of the time meant “true crime”) teens buying the Signet required novel vs the Bantam edition bc the Signet was thinner 🤔

True Story...

Grl, wut.

We are in a new era of snake oil, so it's fun to look back at the snake oils of yesteryear. We are panicking about seed oils and trying to get peptides any way we can. Stan Laurel in KILL OR CURE is selling an elixir that cures colds, toothaches and baldness, polishes furniture, bleaches hair....

I love living in Kansas City, but Missouri makes it tough each day. Reading to our young kids is essential for their development. There are currently 169,000 Missouri kids in the program, which sent out half a million books in the first three months of the year. Most won’t get new books.
