In Australia, we have to vote. In America, don't not vote and complain about it later.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula. Not technically a vampire but I can argue that Sunset Boulevard has all the marks of a vampire film.

My cactus was even some erectile dysfunction so I've propped it up with some sticks. Do need to repot it but I just like the pot.

Well I started this day with one bangle and ended up with two. (A friend who has a jewellery shop gave me the puce bangle and I helped her arrange a locksmith for the shop she locked out of she gave me another one.)

The twink that just got on the train is wearing a coat with raglan sleeves that doesn't help that he had no shoulders but more alarmingly has fastened the bottom button.

So I was in a public library and saw the first Berserk book and thought yeah I'll give that a go while my phone is charging. Got about a half dozen pages into it was nope not reading this in public.

I was at a friend's place hungover in the morning after big night smoking a joint and she was scrolling through her phone and she said "Charlie Kirk just got shot" and I said "oh" and took a drag.

My ex who I still live with but are back on talking terms got Auntie Mame on 4k and since we've both watched the film many times did "what if this was a Ryan Murphy TV show" Obviously Sara Paulson would be Mame.

So far I'm watching someone being perplexed by the prices (listed on the menu) to spilling all of their cash out and asking "is this enough?" (It wasn't) to then asking if they can have margarine on their carrots.

For me Dolly belongs in the same category as Mr Rogers, who generally walked the walk they talked. And as a result I have no interest in people who want to talk trash on them. Also Dolly did infinitely more to promote youth reading than JK Rowling.

Like I think all religions are bullshit, sure, but most kinda have nice imagery. There's one that went from something as innocuous as a fish to a particularly gruesome form of execution and made it their entire brand.

Even way back in the Howard era I had this vague notion that Hanson was actually a plant/psy op to be even more extreme that what even the LNP were comfortable with and I still haven't shaken it.

I'm looking at my never played Dune boardgame. Each faction has a unique win condition and for the Bene Gesserit they write down on which turn another player will win and if that player wins on that turn, the Bene Gesserit players wins instead.
