I have long accepted that I am wrong about everything, and it has made life a lot more peaceful

There's nothing more freeing than the sentence "I'm not smart enough to have an opinion on that" and then leaving the conversation

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård shows up for the London premiere of his new movie “Pillion." He's wearing a sleeveless white dress shirt with a black leather necktie and black leather pants with metal grommets down the crotch. He's also wearing black leather boots. A black motorcycle is behind him.

Finally got husbeast to sit down long enough to watch some more Wednesday S2.

Quite frankly, giving Luis Guzmán the line about white American appropriation might be the high point of the entire show

Something I think about a lot: One of the reasons people used to think boys “outgrew” ADHD is because in adulthood men tend to offload their executive function (managing calendars, remembering birthdays, cleaning, grocery shopping) to wives and secretaries so it masked their symptoms.

Talk about personally identifiable information 🤣 as someone who redacts data for a living this is *embarrassing*

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Am I allowed to be salty about all the Monster High fans who have never even seen Alien immediately sniping the Alien Skullector Doll rather than us actual Alien fans managing to get one

Settled in to rewatch Alien: Earth because

a) it's good and
b) my lust for Kirsh remains undiminshed (the discovery that that black rollneck is sleeveless made me feral honestly)
