I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/
Kristi Noem in tight athleisure—white top, drawstring grey pants—in front of a prison cell packed with mostly shirtless men. Noem’s hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The men’s arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if they’ve been told to stand at attention. Noem’s cap is pulled low, so we can’t really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The men’s heads have been shaved; there’s lighting on Noem but they’re in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.

Why was Aubrey Plaza 23 forever, and then suddenly she’s 40?

So do we all owe Kyle Gass an apology?

Just asking questions 🤔

What’s the English word for “I had a dream that I did something horrifically embarrassing, then experienced sublime restoration as I woke and realized I was free of the embarrassment”?
I feel like there should be a word for that

“Die Hard” is a Christmas movie in the same way that “It’s A Wonderful Life” is a Christmas movie

Neither one is about Christmas

Both incorporate Christmas as setting

Neither would be as good without Christmas

Both are considered Christmas movies by some
