Head nod and made a football joke…to a quiet gentleman who looked vaguely familiar at a bar.

I gave you all the love I got.
I gave you more than I could give.
Gave you love.
I gave you all that I have inside.
And you took my love.
You took my love.

Something heavenly led me…to you

Look at the sky It's the colour of love”

With the holiday season here, it’s time once again to ask.

Why exactly did this woman think it was a good idea to invite a pack of folk her husband had beef with to watch her die for two weeks?

@siridahl.com I’ve come to a realization that fan demand will force DC Comics to cast you as Lesla-Lar. The Supergirl of our dreams.

Darwyn Cooke’s “Minutemen” is a more coherent take on “Watchmen” than Alan Moore’s original story.
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

I really feel we don’t appreciate Love Unlimited Orchestra like we should. I mean, it’s ballads. From an orchestra!
“Love’s Theme” is a masterpiece & one of the few instrumental and orchestral songs to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100🔥

So “Be Happy” will always be a core memory as I heard it for the first time at US Skates in North Columbus, Ohio. Two weeks before I started at Central State University and re-met a lot of the people at the skating rink on campus. It was my first taste of post 18 freedom and something I cherish.
How can I
Love somebody else?
If I can’t
Love myself enough to know
When it’s time
Time to let go?

I just reread The Wicked+The Divine by @mckelvie.bsky.social & @kierongillen.bsky.social in it's entirety and it's such a perfect book. A full and complete story that doesn't need a page more or less. It's a book that while reading seems it's about everything you need it to be about it. A miracle.

Today’s discussion:

Julian, AKA Dean 👏🏻 Big Brother Almigh-TY was right and Dapp was quite wrong. While Julian was misogynistic and political, he’s absolutely on a path that would make him President or a Dean at Mission College. Dapp was on his way to being deported.

If ever there was a "Well done, thy good and faithful servant" given at the gates, I know it was given to President Carter.
RIP Jimmy Carter.
