As a huge X-Files fan, I'm into it! I trust he will have the right vision. And "for his mom"! Omg, yes!

Just came back from a nighttime walk and neighbours are setting off fireworks for...whatever reason. I'm good with that - love random fireworks!

This heist is just so wholesome compared to the crimes going on around us. Man, the actual robbers did this at the right time! No one is mad about this.

Looks like a pic from the soon to be filmed Knives Out prequel with a young Benoit Blanc participating in an exchange program in Paris.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

Honestly, a cute little jewel heist seems like a harmless prank given the level of criminality and cruelty we've been witnessing lately.

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

It’s already incredibly hard for good doctors to come to Canada and Ontario to work. This effectively will make it impossible. The conservatives are doing their utmost to destroy healthcare in Ontario. They’ve been doing it so well for so long.

When the folks who brought you the Spanish Inquisition say, "Nope! Too far, dude! Too far!" That kind of says everything...

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Apple has rebranded its streaming service Apple TV+ to Apple TV — which is the same name as its connected smart TV product.

“Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity,” the company announced on Monday.

Also, don't sell yourself short. You might surprise yourself with the number of people who might find your authentic awkwardness or imperfections endearing. Getting to understand another person is the fun part of love!

Ashley @meadowofashxo.bsky.social · 7d

And if you want to develop your social skills, you gotta be social. It can't be outsourced to a machine. You have to practice, be open to change and trying new things, and get comfortable with being vulnerable and don't be so invested in specific outcomes. It can be so hard, but it's worth it!

This makes me feel so sad. I get that it's hard to put yourself out there romantically. It's hard to talk to people you find attractive and who you want to like you, but don't do this. It’s better to be rejected for who you are than accepted for who you're not.

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

And it's not like anyone is getting in serious trouble for anything they do at this moment in history. It could be a "someone's gonna make this money...might as well be me! Yeah, I'll take a few lumps on social media, but this won't impact me in the long run because I'M not a bigot!" scenario.

I finally watched the John Candy doc, and yes...there were water works. It's a touching homage to someone who along with being supremely talented, also seemed like a genuinely good person.

Listen, I know there have been a lot of Star Wars products over the years, but this feels very, very wrong.

100% did not care for how hard she defended her "friend", but there is no denying Diane Keaton was an absolute original and her cultural impact on film and fashion were enormous.

Julie S. Lalonde @julieslalonde.bsky.social · 9d

I've always had such conflicting feelings about Diane Keaton.

A style icon who truly did things her own way AND a lifelong diehard Woody Allen defender.

"First Wives Club" is one of my favourite movies and this calls for a re-watch:

Jaws The Revenge is special to me. It was one of my favorite movies to watch as a kid! I can't hate on it (even if as an adult I can see that it's not good). Sharks are cool by themselves, but a shark with a generational, personal vendetta against one specific family?!?! AI could never!
