like @sammyjcomedian.bsky.social I was all-in on the Phantom as a kid. Both my Irish and Chinese grandfathers had a big box of them, and their smudgy newsprint would get all over my hands so I was only allowed to read them at the kitchen table. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Bluesky cuties, consider this a good old fashioned call-out for work! I've landed safely thanks to your support, but financially things are still a little struggletown. This thread is really to remind commissioning type folks, producers and editors of the kind of work I do. Signal boosts welcome! 🧵

Happy powerful owl fledging season to all who celebrate! The local celebrity pair (nesting next to a popular bike path a hundred metres from a busy soccer club) have two chicks again this year. This one hasnt quite left the nest just yet:

when I was a kid this was on my Dad’s bookshelf and I reckon I read it when I was about 12. It did nothing to assuage my persistent fear of nuclear power
a book cover with the title ‘Who killed Karen Silkwood?’ in large black and red letters. the subtitle reads “was she the first deliberate victim of the nuclear power industry?” and then states the author, Howard Kohn

SNAP kids are just as deserving of a birthday cake, a soda, & a little childhood joy as any other kid. Kids shouldn’t have to understand their family’s financial situation before being allowed to be excited about cake. Somehow we’ve reached where that apparently requires a congressional hearing.

there was a lot of discourse after Die Hare came out that every subsequent action film was ‘Die Hard on a boat/plane/etc’ but what if Die Hard was just “The Hunt for Red October in a building”?

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that
