Anyone who didn't see the great Feucht grift coming since March 2020, I've got a bridge I'd like you to invest in.

"Meh, it's alright." And I'm just like, "EXCUSE ME!!! YOU asked ME for a situationally specific OPERA PUN at 8:30 in the morning. You're not gonna get GOLD on the FIRST DRAFT!!!" 😂😂😂

So my wife's working, and I'm just quick in our room collecting some laundry, and she goes, "Hey, do you have any opera puns? It's for a work anniversary." And after a minute of thinking I'm like, "Maybe something like, 'Aria excited for another year on the team?'" and she goes,

@davidlsims.bsky.social You would LOVE the discourse that a perfectly normal take and Lilo and Stitch has brought about on the other place...

Hey, just rewatched Rushmore for the first time in 10ish years. Pretty great movie!

Y'know, I always kinda thought that boomers were odd for thinking Chopping Broccoli was as hilarious as it was, but I thought today that if Jack Black did it, I'd probably think it was pretty incredible too. Apologies to Dana. It's a good bit.

Listen, did I NEED the Paddington trilogy on 4K Blu-ray? No. Was it my heart's desire? Yes. Are my kids currently watching and enjoying it? Also yes.

@davidlsims.bsky.social I'd highly recommend the newer Peanuts specials that Apple has put out the last few years. The animation style change takes a little getting used to, but my kids (4 and 2) really like them. It's The Small Things Charlie Brown is their favorite.

One of my kids' favorites!! My 2 year old now requests Beethoven's 5th by calling it "Peanuts Movie symphony" because it's used as Schroeder's alarm clock.

Maybe this is reading way too deep into it, but if the focus group testing was a part of him securing his budget, I could see him adding 9 inessential minutes in, just to have something to point at and say, "Hey, I responded to feedback and cut it down."

My biggest gripe with Mickey 17 was the Sinners trailer that played before it gave away too much of the movie! THE TEASER WAS ENOUGH!!!!!

Mickey 17 good. I had fun with it. Go see movies in theaters when you can.

The thing about multiplexes is that they gotta have floor to ceiling images of iconic characters all over the hallways. Denzel in Malcolm X. Sigourney in Alien. ET. It's just the way it should be.

Bluesky, take an hour to relax and unwind with a delightful comedian named Brad.

Summoning all of my strength and self control to not drop $200 on a modded and upgraded U2 iPod off Facebook marketplace.

Hell yeah just drove past a protest at our local Tesla dealership. Probably 50 people out in the blowing snow. Happy Oberon Day, indeed!

I love to see the absolutely fake sounding websites that sponsor trips on Wheel of Fortune. Like, OKAY, Trips4Fun dot net, you're DEFINITELY a real website on which I can book a trip to Easter Island.

Hey, Schmigadoon season 2? Still very fun! Very bummed that season 3 was cancelled.
