I wrote a thing on my SS. It’s called:.“I Am A Cold-Blooded Killer.”. I apologize for the clickbait. (It’s a fun read.). 🔪 🥄.

It will be the missed opportunity of the century. (Well, right behind the insanely bad idea of running Joe Biden a 2nd time.). Pete Buttigieg is the guy. And if Dems write him off "because he's gay and people aren't ready for a gay president," then Dems are homophobes too.

I have given the Democratic Party the benefit of the doubt for a while. But if it champions Gavin Newsom over Pete Buttigieg, a once-in-a-generation paragon of honor & expertise & character & emotional intelligence, I will become unaffiliated (and possibly walk into the sea).

Picture a child. Playing this game. Reading the inscription. Do you recall being a kid?.How it felt to be called dumb?. Why would you insist it’s necessary?.
Cracker Barrel didn’t just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe. It also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.

@mindyfinn Sadly, Mindy was spot on about every word of this assessment except for the last 2. 😑.

“We’re witnessing what happens when a man & his coterie grow so used to skirting the law, basic standards of decency & truth, that they feel themselves untouchable, above accountability, and see the presidency as a means to cement their dominance. No more.”. ~ @MindyFinn in 2018.

This therapist must not (1) be a parent, (2) be a full-time employee, or (3) have ever struggled with mental health. (1) Parenting is exhausting. (2) Working a job is exhausting. (3) Depression makes all of life exhausting. Including every single thing that is "meant for you.".
my therapist said this to me, and it hit me like a brick “if it drains you, it’s not for you. love, friendships, jobs, anything meant for you will nourish you, not exhaust you. 1/2.

There is someone I know in a non-church setting who uses "fellowship" when they describe a fun event, and it makes me itchy every time they say it. "Come on out for food and fellowship." Ugh. I'm a huge extrovert and I would never want to "fellowship" in a million years.

Evangelical terms I am most allergic to .after being a '90s youth group kid:. 3. "Father God, we just. ".2. "Minister to them".1. "Fellowship". *breaks out in hives*.

In conclusion, comedy is infinitely subjective. And in light of that fact, I hope you will forgive me this profoundly unpopular opinion.

I just heard one of my favorite film critics put Talladega Nights among his top 5 comedies of the century. I watched it twice, because I figured I must have missed something. Other than a few scenes, it did nothing for me. (The DVD commentary is gut-bustingly hilarious, though.).

I absolutely ADORE Will Ferrell. So it brings me no joy to share this deeply unpopular opinion. Brace yourself. Anchorman is a masterpiece with a capital M (this isn't the unpopular part). but I didn't think Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, or The Other Guys were very funny.

I genuinely think Trump is the worst American person of the last 50 years.

Thanks for 8 truly jaw-dropping sets (fairly soon to be 9) in 4+ years, @Caspian. Your music has changed my life.

Okay so I’m torn. On one hand, it’s good that Community Notes called out this utter nonsense. But on the utter hand…. Why does it make it sound like the Rapture is an actual thing? . It should say “The Rapture theory was formed in the 1830s. Please don’t lose any sleep over it.”

I like knowing that my international friends take comfort in the fact that I full-throatedly renounce Donald Trump, and have done so for 10 years without interruption.

Credit where credit is due. The idea for this tweet was taken directly from the great Tyler Huckabee, who is no longer in this realm. I asked him if I could screenshot his post and he encouraged me to plagiarize or make it my own. So I expanded & made it my own.

Even beyond the blunt racism .even beyond the sheer delusion.even beyond the state-run ideology.even beyond the deranged punctuation. it's objectively hilarious that he said."nothing about the Future".about the content of.MUSEUMS.

I loved Sinners too, but that came out in April. Well worth seeing. Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are an incredible pair.
