My dad: "When you get to a certain age, ALL bosses are younger than you!"

We improvised our tree topper for our first Christmas in 2020 and now we like to say that it's perfect because, of course, the middle ground between my partner's atheism and my Christianity is paganism

I love the Virgin Mary. I love Saint Elizabeth. I love their stories. You know what I don't love? That this time of year a lot of Christians in my life start obsessively talking about the maternal importance of women & the magic of motherhood & start talking about virginity & purity & etc.

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

I have a friend who's 6'6" and we went to a skating party last night. (I'm 6', this is relevant.) Their skates made them at least three inches taller and when I looked up at them I realized this must be what it's like for EVERYONE ELSE around very tall people.

They're playing Fox News in this facility common room so for the first time I've just decided to put my earbuds in and listen to loud music while I chart

Was talking with a friend last night and I had the thought:
As a woman, I grew up being told women can be anything, and we should dream big and decide for ourselves the kind of girl we each want to be.
Meanwhile, boys still desperately look for someone to tell them how to be a man.

The path to undoing the damage is to avoiding doomering and fighting for that better future.
This was Coates whole rebuttal to Klein: the mindset grounded in the lived experience of Black Americans that you fight for a future you likely won’t see, setting up those who come next to keep going.

We doomers are seeing way more than just one issue. We are seeing systematic issues that aren't going to be resolvable for years, possibly decades. Yes, it's nice to see a light in the darkness sometimes, but until everything is back to "normal" or better, we doomers are still gonna doom. #doom

Both Knives Out and Glass Onion are more interested in offering takes on old money and tech bros respectively, and that’s fine! Glass Onion’s portrayal of tech world idiocy remains one of my favorites. But a thoughtful exploration of why something can offer meaning? Mwah!!

EXACTLY. It's very respectful about faith while also showing how much anger and hatred have to be continually stoked in order to keep people motivated.
The Benoit Blanc trilogy might end up as one of the best artistic statements on the diseased conservatism of our era, and l think Wake Up Dead Man is my favorite of the trilogy, largely because it’s Rian Johnson trying to understand Christianity and its adherents more than having a definitive take.

You go to Disney World and see someone dressed up as Mickey Mouse and you're like "ok, a guy in a Mickey Mouse costume." You see someone puppeteering Kermit and you're like "holy shit. It's him. It's Kermit the Frog."

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.
