Didn't really hit for me (probably partially because I couldn't watch it in the theatre because Ladyfriend would have freaked out at the animal experimentation storyline).

In honour of the baby I will now be having two (2) grilled cheese sandwiches with my pumpkin soup. Thank him for his service.

Included musical theatre. Horrifyingly disqualifying.

I have now recevied 44 emails from Ollie U urging me to battle my way through their fucked up two-factor authorization to get onto the secure website to watch a weeky video from the President.

They're 0/44 on those. Why can't she just send a damn email if she's got something to say?

So much more heart than anything else they've put out since Endgame (with the possible exception of Black Widow).

Oh, my family are 6 p.m. people in 1982 or so my Mom broke her back when she electrocuted herself trying to fix the chandelier in the dining room on December 23rd, but she'd be damned if that bird wasn't on the table at 6:00:00 p.m. on XMAS Day.

I don't use my phone for music so, except for the two days a couple of times a year where YouTube defeats AdBlockers I see no need for it.

That was one of the finest acts of journalism in the 21st Century. Eight years ago and they STILL don't have anything remotely resembling a proposal.

Well, at least you weren't supposed to be making Thanksgiving dinner:

Welp, Thanksgiving dinner is cancelled, I guess.

Why? Both of the cats sat down in Ladyfriend's lap about 5:15 of course.

Paradise Lost: the sole reason I only have an English extended minor instead of a History/English double major. There was no avoiding Milton if I did a major.

A ball cap kind of like this from the cover of Dirty was my daily driver for years.

Black ball cap with the orange knit stuffy from the cover of Dirty on the front.

A little bit in our employment law and discrimination cases but we avoid quantums like the plague in personal injury cases because we can only give summary advice and giving a bad opinion could cause serious problems.

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question

I'm not sure that's how music works? I'm fine with you having mine, though. The pickles of music.

As time has gone on I've really mellowed on some stuff I absolutely despised as a kid and come to quite like some of it as my snobbery has lessened.

But not ABBA. Not fucking ABBA.

Yeah, I was messing with the hypothetical numbers a little bit so I went with the numbers that would defnitely be "OH FUCK!"

You just know they would freak out about how the Dems rigged the map, too: "How can we have 42% of the vote and no reps?"

A +8D swing in the 2026 midterms isn't very likely but it could end up being very very funny.

She's absolutely desperate to hold onto her job at The Atlantic. She knows there's nothing left for her but Substack begging once she loses this gig.

They came in super hot with a huge Peter Hookesque bassline on the first track, then kind of settled down into some fun and kooky stuff. 4th star for getting in super early on making fun of Rudy Giuliani.
