My phone is still tied to my dad’s account and I got a text saying he urgently needed to register to vote (his address listed) and it was clearly marked as a republican voting initiative.

My dad’s been dead since 2019.

I’m not able to watch right now for #TCMParty but the directors cut of That Thing You Do is a wildly different film and honestly I think the theatrical is better.

You mean you somehow don't stare at a computer screen on model railroading forums all day instead of modeling?! How have you mastered this feat!?

There's a GameStop next to the Barnes and Noble I frequent (you can still tell where they used to have a connecting corridor between them) so I ventured into one for the first time in maybe 2 years and Holy crap it's just Collect-a-Stop now. There were a few games I guess. If you had a shovel.

My god if there was ever a time to watch Cabaret it would be now.

Anyway musicals:
My Fair Lady
Little Shop of Horrors
Rent
Tommy (interesting to compare-contrast the album and the musical)
Paint your Wagon

Some musicals are great. Some musicals are cringe. All can be fun.

Because it’s not reality and they’re just making shit up?

I actually liked Jared Leto as the problematic founder of We Work in that docu-drama-series a while back. But I’ve come to understand two things:

1) I am the only person that watched this series.

2) Jared Leto was not acting in this series. He was just playing himself. And gross.

Inflatables and Anti-Fascism have been a thing for a long time.

a man in a military uniform is standing next to a large globe .

Alt: Charlie Chaplin in his anti-fascist masterpiece The Great Dictator picks up the globe and plays with it like a giant beach ball.

Inverse Muppet premise: take a movie and replace one character with a Muppet. Everyone else stays human.

That's the neat thing, it just magically turns itself back on every now and then.

Literally every AI story is like “I’m going to be sooooo productive and then they spend all of their time trying to get the lying machine to tell the right lies and not the wrong ones.
