Puffin
Barred owl
Spawning salmon in fresh water

*I think it was a pilot whale but this was when I was 13 so I don’t remember exactly. It was an incredible moment, whatever kind of whale it was!

Everything about this movie is great, especially Hal Holbrook, but I still firmly FIRMLY believe the best part of this movie is watching Dustin Hoffman try to upstage Robert Redford in every scene they share and fail, miserably, while Redford doesn’t even break a sweat
Back on my dad movie bullshit, rewatching All the President's Men for the first time in forever & muttering "oh yeah, that's the good stuff" every 3 minutes. Hey there's Martin Balsam, fuck yeah.

I don’t know who convinced writers that “happy couples are boring”…but I would invent time travel for no other reason than making sure their parents never met.

Nick & Nora / Gomez & Morticia are absolute proof that what the audiences hunger for are two married people who flirt shamelessly and relentlessly and I don’t know how come Hollywood can’t just give us that again

the sibling of my college boyfriend recently went public with her transition and friends, i don’t know if there is anyone happier in this world than a supported trans person. she is LUMINOUS. she is EFFERVESCENT. she is STUNNING. she is JOY.

maybe i’m horrible but if someone- anyone!!!- calls me a stupid person my immediate, knee jerk reaction is to call that guy a piece of shit. even if that guy is the president! do these reporters have no sense of self worth?
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

i hate that starbucks is using the proclaimers “im gonna be” because i think that’s one of the best love songs ever written and shouldn’t be anywhere near that f*ing company

if we’d had a wedding that would have been our song

anyway if you have leftover Superlative Canned Goo you can absolutely melt it down in a saucepan with some water and make cranberry syrup for cocktails, waffles, or other festive treats

shoutout to all the corporate social media managers out there doing the thankless task of “monitoring” all day for their overlords’ sense of security

i was at college with the guys who were in Passion Pit- notoriously made a hit record with nothing but free GarageBand implements. there is SO MUCH OUT THERE for low or no cost. it costs you time and enthusiasm.
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!

BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.
