I just had to explain to my son how landlines worked due to a plot point in a movie and that “you couldn’t call a person you had to call their house and hope they were in there”

rewatched Avengers with the kid (lotta marvel movies this weekend) and Loki refers to Black Widow as a “mewling quim” and uh isn’t that British people’s c-word because they use the regular c-word to refer to basically any human being

Straddle the line in za’tar and thyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

When I worked at jimmy John’s only managers were allowed to pull hot bread out of the oven and they all had identical scars on their forearms where the edge of the tray would hit if you took it out by the middle and slipped

“Get. Dressed. Now.”
“Ok ok I’m going to get dressed. All I need is my teddies [picks up two teddy bears]. And I need my blanket [picks up blanket now carrying a lot of stuff for a small guy]. And…”

a good “this is what twitter was for” thread was when someone pretty definitively and with evidence traced the etymology of “triscuit” to “electricity biscuit” because harnessable electricity was pretty new at the time and they were like futuristic crackers

There are a lot of men floating around in comment sections who believe the raison d’être for all women is the Obtainment Of Free Dinners and a) I don’t see why that needs to be gendered and b) by the time you’re in your 30s+ and are reasonably stably employed that’s just no longer true

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Someone to invite them to a party that objectively sucked but was nice to think about years later instead of trying to think about how to extract blood from 1099s

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest
