I only recently learned that John Wilkes Booth wasn’t just an actor but a reasonably famous one from a famous acting family. Having run the numbers, I’ve decided it’s like if Bill Skarsgard or maybe Liam Hemsworth shot the president today during a screening of one of the Conjuring films.

Just tried to listen to an audiobook while not doing anything else. Not cleaning or walking or driving, just sitting there. Feels absolutely demented.

FISHERMAN: [walking home, on the phone to his sponsor] You know, I've really felt lately that I've been able to let go of that trauma, moving past those old resentments about rowdy teens. Hang on lemme just get off the road real quick, there's a car coming...haha I know right

I’ve only seen the trailer but is the plot of the new i know what you did last summer that a different group of teens run over the same fisherman three decades later? Because if so that’s incredibly funny.

lol all the characters in paw patrol on paramount+ have English accents for some reason instead of the original Canadian, and Moses just looked at the tv in disgust and said “there is something wrong with our speakers”

I will find, and kill, the villainous mayor from Paw Patrol. This has gone on long enough.

One of the interesting things about animated kids tv now is that I guess animating large numbers of people is expensive so they all take place in these towns full of lovely buildings but with haunting, empty streets and like six residents, giving the whole thing a post apocalyptic feel.
