I think a single Avatar movie is longer than the entire two season run of Fleabag.

My weekend plan is to get high as fuck and watch all 3 avatar movies. My goal is to think I’m actually ON Pandora. What should I have for snacks? What are good munchies that will also make me think I’m on an alien planet? Gummy worms?

“I don’t feel that high!” I say to myself as I carry every dessert in the house back to the couch with me.

Apocalypse Now, Hearts of Darkness, and Tropic Thunder are, accidentally, the perfect trilogy. It’s the same story 3 times.

I got a lash lift and tint today for the first time, and it looks great, but now I have the absurd experience of having to smell my own eyes and it’s NOT a good smell.

Me: Did I break my elbow?? Why does my elbow hurt so much!! Also me: You have a bruise. It hurts because you keep putting weight directly on it. Me (sitting with my entire upper body leaning in my sore elbow.) Nah, that ain’t it.

“Spend enough at the dispensary and you get a free Nothing Bundt Cake Bundtlet” is positively genius cross-promotional marketing. This is the best cake I’ve ever had, and I’m not just saying that because I’m super stoned right now.

I figured out what I hated about Wicked. You know how in old Disney movies, there would be the songs in the movie, and then over the end credits, there would be like, the power ballad version of one of the songs, sung by somebody famous?

Here's something I wrote in December about how immigration judges aren't real judges--a problem that (like many other problems) the Trump administration is making worse ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
ballsandstrikes.org
Trump Has Never Been Clearer About What an Immigration Judge’s Real Job Is
The president doesn’t want immigration judges who handle cases by the book. He wants immigration judges who will rubber-stamp his mass deportations agenda.

First of all, Harry Chapin, rude. He’s NOT “just like you.” His kids have the flu and he’s choosing to stay home to take care of them. He’s choosing to be the father he never had. And you’re pouting that he won’t abandon his own kids the way you abandoned him? I see you’ve learned nothing.

Just FYI, the Y2K disaster didn’t happen because of a massive, global, cooperative effort at enormous cost. They did such a good job preventing it that people now believe it was no big deal. It was a big deal. They saved the world. They just didn’t market that salvation properly.

My favorite thing about the X Files so far is that you have people with extraordinary abilities, but they’re just some guy. Man gets decapitated and regenerates a whole new head…that has the same male pattern baldness as his old head?? He can grow a whole new head, but not the hair on it??

In season 4 of #StrangerThings, the ratio of shirts to people is like 2.5 to one, but Steve gets 0, so everyone else has to wear 4.

I watched all of ER for the 1st time recently & just started X Files. I’m completely obsessed w/ everyone’s normal-ass, human looking hair, teeth, & skin. We’ve got frizz, greys, nicotine stains, wonky teeth, wrinkles, acne scars. It’s magnificent! Instagramification of Hollywood is a travesty.

Well, unsurprisingly, #Sinners holds up like gangbusters to a second viewing. If it’s back in a theater near you this weekend, it is—and I cannot stress this enough—WORTH seeing in a theater.

The manicurist saw yesterday was on the newer side, so I was able to sweet talk her into doing an almond shape that my nails were honestly much too short for. At the time, we laughed at all the blood, but today I know I could never stand up to torture. I would cave immediately.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Due to some roadwork work, and my partner starting up the school year this week, I am stuck today with the unfortunate and insurmountable task of…feeding myself. So far I’ve had 3 mini bags of chips and half a leftover bag of sugar snap peas. Nailing it.

I’ve had a tradition going the past several weeks that I call Pizza Saturday. I used to order a breakfast pizza, but eventually realized that I actually prefer just a regular cheese pizza. Extra cheese. For breakfast. On Saturday. That’s it. That’s Pizza Saturday. It’s the best day of the week.

There is no both sides in this. There is occupier and occupied. Oppressor and oppressor. Those instituting genocide and those forced to endure it. There is no nuance in extermination through mass starvation. No nuanced discussion in gunning down hungry people searching for food.

I’m watching Now You See Me 2, & honestly, it elevates both properties immensely if it’s also a sequel to Harry Potter. HP would never grow up to be a well adjusted husband, father, & LEO. He would 100% become be a creepy weirdo, delighted by muggle sleight-of-hand magic w/out using any real magic.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.
