Whenever I feel like someone is having too much fun at a theme park, I like to explain to them the concept of "people juice".
There was a period of time when NBC would put out these miniseries based on public domain epics with the most stacked cast youβve ever seen and then schools would show them to 7th graders for the next 20 years and it was kinda paradise

As someone with three siblings, all significantly more intelligent than me: very badly. I do not have the capacity for meteorology, law, or engineering.
Bethany Albertson@albertsonb2.bsky.social Β· 3w agoThought experiment- if you were suddenly appointed to do your siblingβs job, how badly would you suck at it?
Everything that can be said about ICE murdering people with zero repercussions has already been said. But it fucking rips me apart that so many people in this white supremacist nightmare country do not value the lives of their neighbors, or even *see them as people*.
if youβre pissed about the fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine this morning and are looking for a way to direct that into support, the Maine Solidarity Fund has been doing great work for marginalized communities in the state for a long time and any donations are a great way to show solidarity

You write your eulogy in life. If you want people to mourn, make your life something to celebrate. If you want people to celebrate, make your life something to mourn.
Sam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance
I dunno, maybe you also needed to see this seven month old video of Sam Neill asking you if you want to fly through some lavender like a bumblebee x: www.instagram.com/reel/DE1XGxD...
Opening a sealed container of coffee for the first time and taking a deep breath is one of those little gifts that carries you through the rest of the day.
This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.
For just about any poignant human subject you can imagine, thereβs a James Baldwin quote, an Ursula LeGuin quote, a dril tweet, and a Supernatural gif.
Although Nabil has been a big success at school, his family is still in a desperate situation. Each time they thought they were at rock bottom, they lost something else. Now they have no shelter and far too little food or water - in 34Β°C heat. There is no sign of peace coming soon. Please help. π

Thanks JC. Let's check in with Bob reporting from River Styx for an update ....
Someone talk me out of installing wainscoting through my living room and kitchen.
Just now, I finished reading Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" for the first time. It is a stunning, moving work of prose poetry. Then I made the mistake of checking my phone and saw a friend sent me the most horrendous heap of Photoshop posing as an Avengers: Doomsday poster, and my soul withered.
Every day I thank God I'm not in my 20s anymore. I would never live through that developing frontal lobe nightmare brain chemical circus ever again.
