Watching Wake Up Dead Man. I saw (actor) playing a (certain kind of character) and said "Oh, (they're) like (other actor) in (one of my favorite cult psycho thrillers)!"
And in doing I correctly guessed the ending without realizing it.

Every time a celebrity says/does something shitty social media posts are 2/3rds people saying "this bitch is cancelled" and the other 1/3rd is people saying "no, wait, remember, we cancelled them already when they did this other horrible thing."

I saw more than one person today watch Gremlins 2 and compare Clamp to Trump. I believe that's only half true, that the character was based on Trump AND Ted Turner. Glover definitely plays him more like a Ted Turner type and the owning a TV station and coloring black & white movies thing.

The best part of the Fifa Trump statue is how utterly satanic it looks. Just a horrifying little statue. I hate that I kind of like it.

I spent just 5+ weeks in the hospital for a BMT. Almost ALL of my nursing staff was Somali. The head nurse solved pain issues the drs basically ignored & stockpiled ice cream for me bc I could eat it w/o barfing. When I was readmitted she CHANGED HER SCHEDULE to ensure she could help me, personally
