Yay! My old marching band in the parade! They played one of my favorite Bjork songs, too!

It’s time for my annual “Watch the Macy’s parade and yell at the TV when they say something silly or have a bad camera angle orama.” Also, my high school’s marching band is in the parade for the 1st time ever. As a band alum (french horn! I marched mellophone) I have to support them.

I have the 4 pack of Chirp wheels and they are amazing for my migraines. Mine make my neck and shoulders tighten up to the point I can’t put my chin to my chest and the chirp wheels help loosen things. I used to have many multiple day migraine/year & now I just have 1 or 2.

The idea that this, of all companies, could take over Warner Brothers is just...horrific and insane. It's like saying, "Hey, I have a great idea--what if the Discovery Channel took over HBO?"

Wait.

Oh shit.

Some $ context, since people still think of Paramount as a huge studio: It's barely had a pulse for a while. The now-deadish Mission: Impossible series was its only movie in the US top 25 this year. So it's naturally frantic to build a 2026-28 lineup. And mining IP is easier than reading scripts. >

This is disgraceful toadying to someone who could well be dead, out of office, or both by the time this reanimated corpse knuckle-drags itself to the screen. Some context: Ratner directed the state-approved Melania doc that is coming to Prime, so he's now a friend of The Family. >
I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

I’m watching Season 2 of Man on the Inside and so far I’m really enjoying it! I dislike most narratives set on a college campus because they tend to get everything wrong, but so far it’s getting enough right and it continues to be charming as hell.

Alt: The actor Ted Dansen, a white man short white hair, black glasses, is wearing a gray suit jacket, a gray tie with white polka dots, and a white plaid shirt (somehow it works!) is saying Really?

I really like The Naked Gun, but too many entries on this list aren’t comedies! Dramas with an occasionally wry tone aren’t comedies.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

The first Thanksgiving I spent with my late husband, my dog Steve (a chi/pug mix) secretly got into the neighbor’s trash and ate most of a roast beef. He got SO SICK. Everywhere. We called it “the Thanksgiving we went to the laundromat 5 times.” (Steve was fine! We were traumatized.)
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I saw this Christmas ornament at Target yesterday and am very confused. Not offended, mind you! Just…baffled. (I had to wait for 45 minutes for a prescription med to be ready at the pharmacy inside Target, so I did a fair bit of just wandering around)
