The inherent problem with any story where Santa Claus exists but people stop believing in him, is that people would KNOW he exists because SOMEONE is giving kids toys on Christmas that the parents didn't buy.

Theater Kids (and I'm including myself among them) have been far-and-away some the kindest, most accepting, and enthusiastic people I've ever known. High school and college theater gave me (a previously home-schooled and undiagnosed AuDHD kid) a place where I could be my weird, awkward self.

@girlwithatail.bsky.social @brettmorris.bsky.social Just started listening to the new College Town and yelled "Meet-cuticle!" when Jan and Beebo were trying to figure what to call flicking each other's fingernails. No idea if that's anything. 😆

Okay but RFK IS autistic, right? I can't see any other reason for his obsession with autism, and he also seems to a fucked-up special interest in animals.

I'd like to thank everyone involved in #ResidentAlien for making such a weird, beautiful, poignant show. The amount of times I went from laughing to crying to laughing again was not insignificant.

It's fun (and by that I mean depressing) to rewatch 30 Rock and see how many of the satirical political jokes are literally just our current reality.
Which further proves we are nearing the natural conclusion to the road America has been on for the 50+ years.
Anyway, it's a great show.

If I wrote an autobiography, it would be titled something like "I'm Not Trying to Tailgate You, I'm Just Trying to Go the Speed Limit: My life constantly being stuck behind people going 15 in a 25 zone."

While Jurassic Park will probably always be my favorite of the series, I think the dinosaur design really peaked with JP3.
Conversely, I feel like the dino designs in the JW movies felt like bad photocopies of the originals.
