very tired of being told it is the responsibility of urban democratic voters never to risk possibly maybe by chance seeming less than respectful of rural red state life and then watching thousands in nebraska cheer on the president joking about a nuclear strike on me and millions of my neighbors

I don’t make the rules, but I do make reality TV. You’re welcome.
I mean, fuck LA I guess, but the Pacific Fleet is in San Diego. (I live in LA, this is a joke.)
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
The Sterling Point actress is Anne Hathaway’s twin.
If this year's El Nino is anything like the 2004/2005 one, I need to get on Zoloft now. (I was working a really weird job where my desk was under a leak and no one cared to fix it so I would just sit weirdly so I wouldn't get leaked on, but still, it was a BAD TIME.)
I think The Hardacres is The Beverly Hillbillies with British accents.
I don’t usually wade into the comments on the New York Times, but am shocked to see Nikole Hannah Jones responding with grace to comments on her latest piece. I don’t know the NY school system, but as someone who battled through the LAUSD magnet system, I was fascinated by her choices.
Seeing the BBC Ghosts feature trailer saved my week for me.
Coyote vs. Acme was great. And the theater was packed. Manny was one of the few kids in there.
I didn’t come from a paper plate household, probably because we had to personally take our trash to the dump or burn it and my mom was a hippie, so I’m fascinated by a creator who makes these great meals and eats them off paper plates.
I’ve lived and worked in LA for 26 years in “the business” and this is so funny to me, like genuinely hilarious. An idea FOR A PODCAST, was taste testing HOT CHOCOLATE. A PODCAST IDEA. HOT CHOCOLATE TASTE TESTING.
I just got really upset about the American Chestnut tree being functionally extinct. (I’m reading The Overstory.)
1. I ain’t reading all that. 2. Bury me loose. 3. Would’ve killed ET with hammers 4. Sowing: Hell yeah. Reaping: this fucking sucks.
What would you put on the Mount Rushmore of all time Tweets? (Mount Rushmore means 4. Do not be a coward and hedge by saying more than 4. Make a decision. (Less than 4 is fine though))
Is my student loan servicer moving to 2FA because they think someone is going to hack in and delete all of our loans? BECAUSE, ROBIN HOOD, NOW'S A GREAT TIME TO MAKE A COMEBACK.
I think it’s exciting when someone sings the national anthem because you truly don’t know if it’s going to be the best thing you ever heard or a disaster of epic proportions.
I’m on a flight that appears to be both everyone’s first flight and first day on earth!
Had to wake myself up from a nightmare of hiding one (full) body and two heads in my house full of very nosy people. (Tbh, the true nightmare was how many nosy people I lived with, not the bodies. The bodies had deserved the murder.)
The Last Boyscout predicted CTE and legal sports betting.
My FYP gives me a lot of bench clearing fights and no doubt my favorite part is always how long it takes for the bullpen to trot over. Like, the fight has been going a full five minutes and they’re still skedaddling across the field.
I think they re-timed some of the clips in the previously on for House of the Dragon, after all the criticism of how dark it was. I feel like I could see detail where I couldn’t before, but maybe I’m misremembering because it’s been 40 years since last season.
I just learned the world cup is THIRTY NINE CALENDAR DAYS. I am a baseball fan so I understand a long season, but this is… I just wasn’t prepared for how much soccer content I was going to be faced with.
Just finished reading The Cider House Rules. 😭😭 Princes of Maine, Kings of New England. 😭😭
I’m about 6 months into having an Apple Watch and today was my first time in the pool with it and I checked it every five minutes, like, “is this thing really gonna be ok?”
Hotels haven’t heard the good word about USB-C yet.
I’ve been out here thinking the cookbook lady wrote the trad wife novel.
Current irritation: watching a Postmates driver take the worst fucking route to your house.
Re-reading is great if you’re like me and you don’t remember shit after reading a book. I feel like I should’ve remembered Melony.
