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.

Them:...

Me: So a lot of people think the towers referenced in the title "The Two Towers" are Isengard and Barad-dur, but they are actually Isengard and Minas Morgul, which was once known as Minas Ithil, and was the easternmost fortification of Gondor before it fell to the Nazgul in TA 2002

Can we just have more Detroiters, please? I think that would fix a lot of things.

Lists like this are helpful because it gives us a list of people who will be the first to go when the revolution comes.

Spent this Thanksgiving Iike I spend most of them—with a migraine.

Going to start calling going poop "answering the call of the wild."

@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. 😆

My main question about this ballroom being built is whether there are a series of tunnels running underneath where one could conceal large amounts of gunpowder.

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.

@magictavern.bsky.social @joshgondelman.bsky.social Can't wait to start using the phrase "I'm getting too almost-mostly-bones for this."

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.

The new Who Me? on @cbbworld.bsky.social with @bibbymoynihan.bsky.social Beck Bennett is possibly one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Just thought of the name Cosmo Payne and now I'm obsessed with naming an RPG character that.

Hope everyone blew up a Tesla today.

The irony of celebrating Independence Day while people in this country are actively trying to make DT our king is truly something.

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."

Can't wait to play a Wolfenstein-type video game where you play as an immigrant in a slightly more dystopian America, but instead of nazis you're blowing away ICE agents.

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.

I feel like I need to post quotes from this speech every day until it isn't relevant anymore.

Just told someone "No worries!" when I was actually deeply pissed off at them.

Say what you will about Rise of Skywalker, but the idea that it requires regular people coming together en masse to reject fascism is extremely relevant.
