Without downloading any new photos, where are you at mentally?

Hey, two violent narcissistic assholes grinning at their overblown self-regard! I bet they're both just awful conversationalists.

If you're on Bluesky telling other Bluesky accounts what is and isn't worth their time and effort to post, and you're doing it in a helpfully self-righteous tone, let me share an image.

This is probably more like her...

Honorable mention. My favorite book for a very long time and certainly my favorite protagonist. Einstein the dog, not the human couple.

Judge me based on 4 favorite films.

The theatrical poster for Evil Dead 2, featuring a skull with staring human eyes.

The theatrical poster for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, featuring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet lying together on a frozen lake. The ice appears slightly cracked. The upper half of Jim Carrey's head is also visible in the lower corner, looking up at himself and Winslet on the ice.

The theatrical poster for Hereditary, featuring a stylized, off-putting cutaway of the movie's primary house location and its inhabitants in illogical framing.

The theatrical poster for the film The Royal Tenenbaums, featuring the main cast framed as the cover of a book. The book is surrounded by elements from the film such as a speckled mouse, an eagle feather, a yellow legal pad, etc.

Is there any more perfect visual metaphor for this administration?

One of the greatest comedy leading ladies of all time. I know some of that legacy has awkward associations now but her explosive charm and power to control a funny scene among the funniest company are undeniable.

Are we sure this is the Texas National Guard invading Chicago and not an elaborate Bill Swerski Super Fans sketch?

There's only one Miran I would trust with the Fed. IYKYK.* *If you don't know, maybe don't search her at work.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

Dammit. I read this too late. Oh well. At least I sent along a cheery UK import attachment. And it's a comic book, so literacy won't be required on their part!

All due respect to her, I have to keep yelling at my dumb 90s comedy brain to stop confusing Francesca Fiorentini with the Scott Thompson international film sensation.

Finally started on this show. Silly that I kept putting it off given how hard it appeals to several of my interests. The pilot has romcom elements, punk music, goofy musical numbers (one of which involved sock puppets), fantasy cutaway sequences, and a crazy charming cast.
