Hey @dropout.tv please make Crowd Control an hour! It's a great show, but feels really rushed with awkward cuts at the current length. Give it some breathing room!

I'm putting together a list of absolutely unhinged/weird Hallmark-style Christmas movies to binge with Amy over the holiday, and I need suggestions! The weirder, the better! Bonus points if it includes magic, time travel, or the supernatural. #hallmarkxmasmovies #xmasmovies

Unhinged Chrismas Movies
A list of 8 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Haul Out the Holly (2022), The Most Colorful Time of the Year (2022), Christmas Mail (2010), A New York Christmas Wedding (2020) and EXmas (2023).

People who constantly bring up how good Halloween III is are the spooky equivalent of folks who insist every holiday season that Die Hard is a Christmas movie; You're not wrong, but also... dear god shut up.

Watching the new Gianmarco Soresi comedy special, and I have one issue. How can this spindly-ass man dancing around the stage and oozing theater kid energy in a BOB FOSSE SHIRT be straight!? It feels like stolen valor, frankly. Good special, though. Really funny!

I finally watched this after multiple suggestions, and it's worth a watch. It hits on how detrimental the manosphere has been to our culture and where it comes from.

Lately, running a company has me feeling like an actual adult. Then I find Nerf darts on the floor in the bathroom and realize I (thankfully) have a way to go.

I am so beyond over everyone's "hot takes." They're exhausting, and almost always meant for engagement farming. Even worse, they draw attention away from truly innovative and transformative ideas that get lumped in with all of the BS. I'm so tired, y'all.
