realizing I can't do the book meme because the questions imply someone who reads more than whodunits
No passage in the Bible more relatable to the grad student experience than the preface to 2 Maccabees.
I love the episodes of Murder She Wrote that are ostensibly Jessica‘s novels, because those opening three minutes when she greets us in a robe and chats like we are her roommate are the coziest monologues in television history. 
Unfathomable there isn't a Prince of Egypt-style animated adaptation of Tobit. It has built-in musical numbers!
You ever think this verse says more about the author’s relationship to goats than anything about Samson? 
I remember being excited that comics could offer more stories about characters I already knew from TV. It felt like getting access to secret episodes.
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 3d agoIf you’re a comics fan, what’s the earliest comic book you can remember reading? And what kind of impression did it make on you?
Brand New Day is as pure an example as you can get of an MCU movie as a comic book story arc and not really as a film. But I think it’s one of the best. 
George Perez covered New Teen Titans 43 (1988).
I regret to report this is the unnecessary revival I will watch every episode of.

Any day I get a question about the Good Friday gospel notice on antisemitism that isn't implicitly whining about wokeness in the Church is a good day indeed.
I am also partial to the bit where Basil exhorts Christians to at least try to be better than dirt.

With my computer in the shop, I have a three-device setup with different processes running on each, have never felt more like a 90s hacker in a techno thriller.
Had a nightmare that Olive Oyl came out as MAGA and it was all anyone was talking about.
The trailers before Hadestown say, “Oh so you want to see movies that will be *unpopular* and *sad.*”
Are there good traditional references on Abraham carrying the fire and the knife at Moriah? I have an author claiming it is a pathetic irony (that Abraham intends to kill his son yet still forbids him from carrying the items that might hurt him), and I'd like a citation.

The Sex Purge movie would not have gotten picked up for theatrical release if it wasn't Sex Purge. Its unhinged concept is the only thing that prevented it from being unwatched Prime Video slop; I respect the scheme.
I like it when conservative Catholics unironically adopt things meant to criticize them as their mascots. The Colbert Report, Heroes of the Fourth Turning, whatever–we all want to feel seen.
