I really hate that this stupid ass hole is my favourite team’s starting quarterback, I cannot stress that enough

It’s August 2026 and Aaron Rodgers is having a full blown meltdown about Anthony Fauci.

Nothing a nice set of tax credits and EV rebates can’t fix

They tried to say I couldn’t make a perfect Pasta Alla Nerano, and now my haters are waiters at the table of my pasta success

Have the house to myself for the next two days, a luxury I haven’t enjoyed even once in the past two months and change. Oh yeah, it’s a three-hour movie(s) night

I don’t know how to explain this, but Angine de Poitrine feels like a spiritual successor to Can

Little late to this, but earlier today Hockey Canada announced their roster for the Hlinka Gretzky Cup earlier today, scheduled to take place from August 3-8 in Edmonton

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🤳

I’m eating blue cheeses you’ve never heard of on crackers you can’t even fathom

Thought I’d rank Nolan movies and I’m pretty sure this is the perfect order

Don't wanna sound rash, but something extreme needs to be done about theatre etiquette. One guy two rows in front of me was texting through the entire film. I was surrounded on all sides by people talking. When did people forget how to behave in a theatre? Anyway, The Odyssey is amazing.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese
