"ding-dong, DING-dong... dingdong DING-dong" announcement of the hour interrupted, and ended directly before the line "🎶He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown" was said. That song always always brings me right back to that one random moment.

Happy b-day, little tiny Paul!

My Paul Simon memory: preschool, nap-time. Turned off the lights & we laid on thin blue mats& pretended to sleep while they played music from a turntable. Distinct memory of my eyes shut, holding onto a stuffed dog toy, listening to "Slip Sliding Away" while the church next door's bell, with the-

There is historical precedent for that, with the Ariosophy & folk-occultism of Himmler.

My question about Time that has bugged me ALL MY LIFE, that I sent in got answered at the 25:50 mark! And I was scared it was too dumb or basic to address, but @seanmcarroll.bsky.social set me straight & was kind enough to address it in such a way that I finally *get* it. Yay!

The perils of following someone on multiple platforms! Responding HERE instead of instagram,onnaccounta you can add images to responses here. Our Norwegian Elkhounds,Olaf & Skye;they are 1/2 sibs—same dad, different moms, 8 years apart. 3rd photo was when Skye was a baby. Treasure that baby time!

The thing was, it was the studio's 1990 attempt to recapture the BATMAN mega-hit of the year before. They did the same midnight opening, and had all kinds of lavish gimmicks; everyone who went to a midnight open got a T-shirt, etc, but it was an astroturfed "success."

Rewatched SWINGERS. Holy fuck, did I hate it when it came out; "Finally, a movie for douchebags."

I still feel that way, but man, I miss movies shot on film. It wasn't a fantastic looking film of its day, but even a 6.5 out of 10 in 1996 now blows all digital out of the water.

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

I'm outraged it isn't.

Jim Jordan, tuning a blind eye to young men being brutalized?!

THE DEVIL, YOU SAY! I shan't believe it! I simply *shan't.*

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

*licks fascist boot*

GO AHEAD, BE MEAN AND CALL ME A FASCIST BOOT-LICKER, GO FOLLOW SOMEONE WHO NEEDS APPROVAL FROM THOUGHT POLICE WHO SAY LICKING FASCIST BOOTS IS BAD! I TAKE IT AS A COMPLIMENT!

This is the weirdest kink, Sall.

How much of a sneering, weak, ineffectual fucking dweeb must you be for friggin' GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOUS to have no time for your shit and make you his absolute bitch?

It's weird how "St." is conditional in meaning if it's before or after a name. Before, it is "Saint," after, it is "Street." Listen to the reading-voice in your head looking at these exact same words, in different order:

St. Vincent
Vincent St.

Co-op, seems like, like Demeo, but with D&D classes and a more persistent leveling & power-up system & I think more of a kind of "story-line-ish" play through of the modules. youtu.be/uwVBRE_OWHM?...

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

Billionaires are nerdy dudes who are essentially NOT VERY SMART; they are not well read, but have read pop picture-book authors like Moore who are. He doesn't know about the things he "knows" about,but thinks his fucked up takes are *mind blowingly brilliant.*

If Batman were real, he would have put SO SO many ICE thugs in the hospital by now.

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.
