Seeing “Star Wars” in 1977 via summer camp. Our teen counselors always took us to see dreck like “Squirm,” “Bug” and “Godzilla vs. Megalon” that when they dragged us to “the city” (aka: Manhattan) to see “Star Wars” we literally had no idea what we were in for. Boy, oh boy… Was that a mind-blower. 🤯

FunFact™: This is 100% true… I looked up the studio apartment I used to live in while living in Brooklyn (central/prime Park Slope) that I was paying $550 a month for in 1995. You know how much it’s going for 30 years later (aka: nowadays) in 2025? $4,500 a month! Yikes! That’s a spicy meatball! 😮💸

Officials warned of “locally catastrophic” river flooding in Washington state Wednesday amid a major atmospheric river storm that was poised to drop 20 inches of rain in the Cascade Range. Two rivers north of Seattle, the Snohomish and Skagit rivers, were predicted to crest at record levels.

That's why my Blitzen fan fiction can't get off the ground.

“Hiker mired in quicksand in Utah’s Arches National Park is rescued unharmed” My 1970s child mind is really slightly agonized over this… I mean in the 1970s, my greatest childhood fears were: 🏖️ Quicksand 🔥 Spontaneous Combustion 🐝 Killer Bees

Just saw “Frances Ha” (2012) for the first time and wow… What a great film! I was hesitant to see it because I thought it would be precious and annoying (aka: “twee”) but it wasn’t. Goofball indie comedy about hapless doofus (Frances Halladay) and her foibles. Really good. Very recommended. 🎞️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form…” Thus he hasn’t been vaxxed and is, therefore, highly protected by the Force my master, RFK, Jr. doth sayeth the dumbass Liam Neeson… 🫣💉✨

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

I pulled out my refrigerator and oven and cleaned up everything underneath and behind them. I have not moved or changed apartments; I just did it. ❄️🔥

Witnessed a real “6-7” situation this week. 😮 Kid goes up to the counter of the pizza place to look at the score on the TV. Someone shouts, “What’s the score!” and the kid responds with the hand motions, “Six… Seven…” Then tons of other kids chimed in until it faded away… It was quite magical. ✨

Perfection.

“And what can you tell us about how bull riding has changed since—oh shit, that was my exit. Yep, that was my exit.” 🤣🤣🤣

7 December 1913 | A Czech Jewish woman, Helena Haeutnerová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 26 October 1942. She did not survive.

Looks like Disney/Lucasfilm is learning what the fans want… To just be able to see the original, unadulterated 1977 version of “Star Wars” and that’s it! No special editions… No “improvements”… Kudos to whoever green-lit this. 🎞️👏👏👏

Same energy… 🥱

Winter vibes 🌨️⛄

Has there ever been a ventriloquist act where it’s the HUMAN who says horrible things and the DUMMY is the reasonable one who tries to get them to settle down?

Rural America trusted Trump to bring prosperity. Instead they got tariffs, labor shortages, shuttered hospitals, frozen energy projects, and falling crop prices. His support in GOP strongholds appears to be collapsing. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Nick Davis’s newest documentary, This Ordinary Thing, tells the story of non-Jews who helped save Jewish people across Europe during the Holocaust. #JewSky

Saw an utter crap film “Fandango” (1985). So bad. Premise is basically, “Stand By Me” but with college grads drafted to Vietnam. Characters are… Meh… And the plot feels weird… Very odd road trip/buddy flick. Quentin Tarantino supposedly loved it. But Steven Spielberg who produced it, disliked it. 🎞️👎

This is an amazing GIF if you think about the effort it took to scan in photos back in the day… 🐶🎾

But the truly horrible thing is - no one cares about the ethnic cleansing of Jews (brown, in these cases) or white. Because they're just a pack of "Zionists."

‘You boy! How do I unsubscribe from all these Black Friday emails?’

A small act of kindness can brighten someone’s entire holiday season. For President and Mrs. Obama, service around the holidays is a cherished tradition. Whether it is volunteering, donating, or offering a helping hand, when we take care of each other, the spirit of the season shines the brightest.

I hate having to type a country's name into search periodically to see if our regime has attacked it yet.

“Thank you for your attention in this matter!” 🤣 Reads just like a superintendent’s passive-aggressive message scolding you for not separating recycling and such… 🥱

Is the term "bejesus" ever used outside the context of it being scared out of someone?

Damn gurl, are you Black Friday? Because I’m wondering what your fucking deal is.

My life is a triumph of all the things I don't know. I don't have to know everything. I read Agatha Christies and throw them away when the detective says "And the murderer is..." The mystery's always greater than the solution. —John Guare, Landscape of the Body
