28 Years Later is not what I expected holy shit.

I just bought a California king size quilt for our regular king size bed, and it’s probably the smartest thing I’ve ever done. Mr Shark is a real covers hog.

his legacy is going to be one of being the deeply unfunny comedian who enabled fascism in this country and then chose to take no responsibility for those actions but nothing has really changed because it has always, always been “Fuck Jimmy Fallon forever”

The tenth Doctor was randomly in my dream last night. Score!

E drove all the way to the next town and back, on backroads, not the highway. She did so good! She was nervous about making other people mad and I said heh wouldn’t it be cool if you could get those signs for student drivers? And OF COURSE YOU CAN! They’re on the way.

A character in Death Stranding 2 just said, I sense a long cut-scene is coming up. Are you ready for that, Sam? You know what, I appreciate that, Dollman.

I’m so full of sea bugs right now.

I’m sorry, conservative acquaintance, I am not giving you a gold star for finally deciding Trump is garbage NOW.

The stupidest shit breaks containment. Yes, I know about humane mouse traps. They don’t work because mice are too smart. I tried desperately to get them to work. I will be protecting my family from mouse feces and saving my groceries from being contaminated tyvm.

We woke up to mouse poo all over the kitchen counters. Miraculously no chip bags or anything seem to have been chewed on. I guess he was just eating counter crumbs (it really wasn’t very dirty) and pooping everywhere. So I sighed and cleaned up the poo and set out a couple traps. And waited.

I know this is a waste of time, but of anyone in the Bay Area can take on a cat, this ~5 month boy I trapped for TNR turned out to be way friendlier than I thought and also has a limp that does not pain him but can't be easily fixed.

Just a bunch of gamblin’ gals

I always forget how much The Silence of the Lambs is about gender politics.

BOOK RECS NEEDED I just finished a leadership development program and I have to do 22 hours of supplemental training but I can substitute some of it with a book. So I need recs for a book on leadership that -doesn’t suck -isn’t too cheesy -doesn’t recommend being an asshole leader -isn’t too long

Mr Shark: We need to do the meal plan for this week. Me: Wait. Isn’t the world ending tomorrow? Mr: Yeah. Me: Should we bother? Mr: Yeah. Just in case they’re wrong this time.

Why do gnats want so badly to end their lives by flying up my goddamned nose??

Damn I’m going to be thinking about this hairy naked Vulcan tonight…

Lex has some teeth in this Superman! He always seems so pathetic as a foil to Superman, but this one is a believable nemesis. A+ Lois Lane as well. Excellent spunk. I love Amy Adams but never thought she was a good Lois.

Superman, train your damn dog.

future children in history class are going to love studying our era because everything about it will look so stupid to them “oh so they took all the serious bad things from past eras, and then redid them, but like clown shit?” yes

Can anyone foster or adopt a sweet stray cat in SoCal?

I’m so here for horny Spock on Strange New Worlds.

I have never in my life felt more powerless in this world.

Forks have been mysteriously disappearing over the years. I suspect they’ve been thrown in the garbage with takeout containers. Oops. But I think I found a pretty close match.

The initial response of liberal institutions that we had to “honor” Kirk is a large part of why we are even here

Love to have different standards of care depending on the state you live in

My kooky coworker was big mad the other day after finding out they make red dye for candy out of bugs. I don’t know if it’s true and don’t care, but I was like, wait, aren’t bugs natural? You’re always trying to buy “natural.” That made her even madder and I truly did not get it.

I just need people to hear that the very people who gave power to those who are right now attacking every minority group in this country but the rich feel so bold that they can preemptively scold an imaginary version of us for criticizing them for the choice to give Trump and his squad that power.

My absolute favorite Lily and Fox wraps. These are so cool. Description: a short video of a closeup up my left hand, blue ombré nail wraps that go from dark blue at the bottom to sky blue at the top.

I’m mad that my daughter came home from school telling me that she saw the video that I myself managed to avoid.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of all the posters who will get banned today. They made the ultimate sacrifice and we will honor their memories

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

Why is it that when you try to shop for clothing in natural fibers, they’re like oh ok you want tee shirts and stretchy pants in sold muted colors? Yawn.

I’m working through old Behind the Bastards and every once in a while there’s a special episode about current events, but it’s from 2019. Depressing fucking shit. That we knew that we knew in 2019 and anyone allowed this clown to run for president again. That we never fucking prosecuted him…

Aging problems: getting your excess eyelid skin caught in the eyelash curler.

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

This is how people who attacked abortion eroded abortion—access. People forget that even with Roe as law of the land many abortion seekers in this country could not obtain one (conveniently).

When I was leaving work Friday, the road outside my parking lot was extremely backed up (day before game day) and someone was completely blocking the exit. I would have turned left if it wasn’t blocked. So I decided I had better try to turn right after the light changed.

I don’t know how he got in there but I had a stowaway this morning

I feel like we didn’t need Thing’s origin story but whatever.

Love seeing Gwendoline Christie in everything.

Since we’re all talking about vaccines, did you know your immunity can wane over time and instead of bothering with titers you can just go get a MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella/German measles) and/or Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis/whooping cough). You should be getting a Tdap every 10

Kooky coworker has been having super high blood pressure again and is treating it with essential oil and meditation. She’s a single mom! I just straight up told her that’s super dangerous and not something to mess around with.

I bought a $3.50 bottle of pinot Grigio to cook with and it’s surprisingly good for drinking!

The Maple, along with hundreds of other news outlets, has joined Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders’ campaign to draw attention to the 220+ Palestinian journalists killed by Israel since October 2023. Gaza has the bravest journalists in the world. rsf.org/en/rsf-and-a...

I greatly appreciate the ingenuity of people starting to mark places with ICE activity as "icy roads" in Waze.

Weird Al is coming to OKC and Mr Shark’s response to my THAT WOULD BE SO FUN was “wait seriously?”

Yeah I spend most of my time on a couch. Give me a damn shot.
