me looking out the peephole before opening the door. it *is* that serious over here.

i've been down a jack white rabbit hole for about a week now. "archbishop harold holmes." "g.o.d. and the broken ribs." "derecho demonico."

he’s pretty incredible. he was also amazing in May December. he was easily the best thing about that film.

one thing about me, i don’t care if you’re a nepo baby if you poppin’. sadie did a fine job.

i like when natasha lyonne doesn’t lean super-hard into her schtick. i dig her schtick, but it’s nice to see her do other things again.

elisabeth moss is really exceptional at what she does.

based on early reviews, i’m quietly wondering if chloe might’ve been the Bailey sister that should’ve been cast in that romcom… she’s older and she reads older. plus her performances have a bit more nuance… i do love that they’re both committed to acting, though.

this goes way harder than we deserve in 2026, but it’s exactly what we need music.apple.com/us/album/g-o...

rob reiner was such a good filmmaker. and so was penny marshall. and i like that they were married for a little bit. and i get why they didn't stay married and just... God rest both of their souls, fr.

the way meg ryan used to push her nose up in the air when a character was self-satisifed (and most of her characters were self-satisfied) was so fun. i searched for photographic evidence but it was harder to find than i thought. this is essentially it, though.

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

“I don’t want to go to my grave with my ideas.” - Lenora Helms (second from left)

“… y’all klan?”

that truly is nasty work.

aaand with that, the tv goes off.

… I wasn’t even going to watch this tonight. I wanted to see the “I liked to you” performance, the cinematography category and supporting actor just in case it’s delroy. but i might turn this off to mitigate annoyance and disappointment.

the aggressive Burger King advertising feels as dystopian as all the AI messaging.

delroy lindo looks so good. that cravat(?) is doing some important work.

this casting category presentation is lovely. 🥰

aw, I love that so many of the principal actors are onstage for “I lied to you.”

I really love conan o’brien’s humor.

this look is iconic.

like, either way, it’s gon be some carryin on.

i feel like he came primarily to incite a bacchanal for Ryan if this is a good night or incite a (metaphoric) riot if it’s a bad one.

you know what makes me a little irrationally angry whenever I hear it? michael bublé’s cover of “feelin’ good.”

so relatable. i hit this wall a few years ago. now I just work my day job, go to therapy and try to maintain some semblance of a private creative practice. 💕 every now and again I still pine for more, but the waves of that are almost placid now.

Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.

i love how all the chickens are coming home to roots at once. generation upon generation of forewarned chickens.

mother nature put the weather on shuffle

omg! how could i forget “50 ways to leave your lover??” 🔥

... have i told y'all that cyndi lauper's "girls just wanna have fun" makes me tear up, like, every time i hear it? my kid knows it from, again, some animated film? and i keep trying to get her to appreciate it unironically, but i get weepy whenever it plays and she looks at me sideways. lol

my 15-year-old put me on to a fleetwood mac song a couple years ago. "the chain." she heard aerosmith's "dream on" in a car dealership once and was obsessed with it for six months. she still likes to listen to queen's "we will rock you" in its entirety, not just like... for sports chants.

i've gotten this reply from two folks already. i suspect there may be more by morning. i also suspect that ppl who feel this way *proooobably* believe that "you can call me al" is the worst song on the album? it was very commercial, but i truly adore it.

among my *many* anxieties is the concern that artists from the 20th century won't be remembered unless anna kendrick sings a cover for 10th trolls sequel? like, rappers don't even sample from the mid-20th century anymore... who's acculturating the babies???

mind you... simon & garfunkel were also giving? bc *very* little is f--in' with "scarboroguh fair/canticle." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jj4...

back to "you can call me al," i've been fascinated by the lyrics of that song since i was 6. i'm not even joking. he went existential crisis in the first two lines and it only got more surreal and nonsensical and metaphysical from there and i dig that for us, as a society? genius.com/Paul-simon-y...

part of being an '80s kid is understanding that paul simon had some real solo bops that we don't talk about enough. exhibit a will always be "call me al." www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq-g...

I know this isn’t a safe space to say this but I’ma say it anyway: ion like Jessie Buckley.

i was so ill-prepared for daylight savings time to start this year.

watching an old black and white film called "blue gardenia" starring anne baxter. and honey, lemme just tell you: there's nothing i love more than a gasp-worthy moment in an old black and white film. lol. peak cinema.

just finishing up Tayari Jones’ “Kin” and I think this will be the first of her novels to be adapted for TV or film. not just optioned but actually released.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

i don't think i've ever worked anywhere where i didn't experience racism, even as a freelancer.

a willingness to take accountability for your own errors in a workplace makes you a target for corporate pile-on, and i don't like that.

karl urban aged how we thought jason momoa was gon age.

there hasn’t been a single day since February 8 when this hasn’t run through my head at least once. he really was not there to play with us.

i really love that Julie Andrews is a) still with us and b) still doing this show. i hope they back a brinks truck up to her villa every single season for these voiceovers.

i can't believe this season of bridgerton is tryna convince us that benedict and sophie's story is "romantic." like... what in the world?
