I was telling a friend of mine, who has three grown children, about Collegeville and Ben Cooper costumes. She had never heard of them, and that is how I know she was a great mom.

Tonight! I am so excited because my good friend @wardsutton.bsky.social has created the opening segment of The Simpsons Halloween episode, in the style of his alter ego “Stan Kelly!” Watch it or be labeled a sicko! Tonight at 8 PM on Fox!

Dear MTA, instead of just telling us where the alligators are on the platform, how about doing something about the alligator problem?!?

One of my favorite fun facts: Veronica Cartwright co-starred with Doodles Weaver in THE BIRDS. Years later, she would co-star with his niece, Sigourney, in ALIEN.
