I never tire of “None for me, thanks, I’m driving” when turning anything down. (Best deployment: an elderly friend offered me some of her lipstick during a funeral. She absolutely lost it.)

Google: "There's no such word as 'flanny' did you mean 'fanny'?" Me: That's going to dramatically change the meaning of my message to my husband asking if he knows where my flannelette shirt is.

My Favourite Things is a *very* close second, but it would have to be A Love Supreme for me too. But like @birdlives1.bsky.social said: Jesus, dude!

I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

When one of your favourite posters' team just won their semifinals in the NRL and you know you might have to hear about it quite a lot. I expect it was because of the jersey wearing at the end of "if you're listening" @mattbevan.bsky.social Congrats.

I mean, this interpretation is not entirely inaccurate? The cover does have more of a Huey Lewis and the News vibe though.

Kid just got home from overnight camp (phone free) and again him and his friend “we really didn’t miss them at all, we had stuff to do” KIDS DON’T ALWAYS WANT TO BE ON SCREENS - they just need places to go and ways to get there independently.

Bottom panel is a similar image, a tiny "close ad" button in relation to the fingertip labeled "my finger" which fills nearly the entire panel.

Blade Runner takes place forty years In the future.
Not so much science fiction as it is more of a futurism story.
How do things seem to be forty years from now?
It's no musical comedy, David.
