"the hulk is known for gentle snuggles" i cry as this weirdly muscular toddler punches me in the face yet again

I'm sorry, but if I'm battling a pokemon who is asleep and I use Surf, I just think that should auto-kill my opponent. I want it to say "The wild TAUROS drowned!"

One day I'll cook a dinner that all four of us enjoy but it doesn't look like it's shaping up to happen this year.

This is a policy failure.

Are you a Bluey Fan, a Bluey Hater, or a secret third thing? @headoverhills.bsky.social makes her debut at The Pom today with @amycolleen.bsky.social to break down the good and iffy of the show! www.the-pom.com/p/bluey-is-n...

Bluey Is Not a Perfect Show (and that's okay)

The cartoon dogs may have stolen our hearts, but we’re not taking (all our) parenting lessons from them.

I'm sure a lot of people liked it but "Black Swan" simply wasn't for me. I'm not artistic enough to see the vision, I guess, and it didn't help that I went to see it with my parents.

We talk a lot about the theological ramifications of a Popemobile in the Cars universe but we don't talk enough about the clear implications of a Jesus Christ in the Zootopia universe (one of the polar bears crossed himself) Was he a lion or a lamb?

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

I'm always saying this

Reading The Name of the Rose for the first time and I can't tell whether I'm *supposed* to be reading it with the book in one hand and Google translate in the other or if I'm just supposed to know Latin first

When you think about it, it's kind of wild that the MTV movie awards made a parody crossover of United 93 and 300 only eight years after 9/11

Jim Croce is the first that comes to mind, followed by the Eagles.

what's the music your parents played all the time when you were a kid? for me, it's a dead heat between Neil Diamond and Linda Ronstadt

Remember not to use 2 in 1, you should have separate units for air shampoo and air conditioner.

Will Avatar 3 make sense if I just read a summary of Way of Water? (You might be asking: why not just watch #2 first? Well, I have a whale phobia and many of those creatures are pretty damn whale-shaped lol)

I told my kids to let me use the restroom in peace so they just...waited for me...

people reading Dante’s Inferno in 1321

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Are you actually self-aware or do you just relate a little too strongly to pop lyrics?

lord grantham would’ve bought real estate in the metaverse

I ain’t afraid of no ghosts I’m afraid of one or more ghosts

one must imagine sisyphus cleaning the reflecting pool

If I ever go missing just know all I'm really after is validation on a true crime documentary that I "lit up a room" or I "would give a stranger the shirt off my back."

A long time ago in a galaxy far away I used to do Austen Mashups on Tw*tter and then Bluesky and since social media is a fickle mistress I've decided to move these to my own domain, so please enjoy a new edition of Jane Austen characters × The Office. www.amy-colleen.com/p/michael-sc...

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

BREAKING: New from Haberman and Swan: Secret memos show that the Trump White House debated last year, to a greater degree than previously known, whether to limit a constitutional right — suspending habeas corpus rights for undocumented immigrants to accelerate mass deportation efforts.

I was reading the other day about the difference between intrusive and impulsive thoughts (most people have impulsive thoughts and they're usually triggered by something like standing in a high place, for ex) and I gotta ask: what are your oddest impulsive thoughts?

Me: I don't know who would be stupid enough to use the animal version of ivermectin for COVID Also me: dang it I'm almost out of my horse gel

What was it like when orbs entered the discussion of supernatural sightings? "I saw the prophet Samuel conjured up by the witch of Endor." "I saw the tormented spirit of my royal father, begging me to avenge his murder most foul." "I saw an incandescent cantaloupe... and I believe it to be an Omen"

the sexual tension between pretending i never saw a post and wanting to reply

It's actually a shame that Scary Movie 3 was the first movie I watched in the Scary Movie franchise because it set incredibly unrealistic expectations for all of the other ones (even the two before it)
