Rabies is yet another ironic casualty of the wild success of vaccination which is to say people see and hear about it so rarely that they have no idea how bad it is and the prospect of contracting it seems entirely unreal

Carolyn Jones could not be reached for comment.
Convince? My parents just took me with them like I was a buddy rather than a child.
Graham Greene has passed and I'm not ok with it. Rest in Peace, sir.
Every day is the right day for more Christopher Walken.
I can only hope to ever write a romance as compelling as Ivan and Victoria's.
One good gif deserves a video clip (Memory Triggered anyway). www.rottentomatoes.com/m/red/videos...
I backed up to make sure we watched the spinning car again earlier! I'm glad he had the opportunity to make a few more beloved movies before he was mentally taken from us. Hope he knew how much he was adored.
Marvin is my favorite. "Old man, my ass."
Rewatching RED. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm getting the pig.

JFK feeling the same way about RFK Jr as the rest of us.
As the Doctor tells us, weird is merely a side effect of being awesome.
I never had to take another MBTI test once I saw the joke that the INFP prayer is, "Please, Lord, let me finish what I sta-"
My sister and I say that we are too weird to be normal and too normal to be weird, so we ride on the edge between both worlds.

Friends, if anyone on here sneers at em dashes being used in professional writing as a sign of AI, I'm just going to beg you to read anything from the BEFORE days. The reason AI overuses em dashes is that the people it stole from overuse em dashes. It was trained on 15 of my solely-em-dash books.
She was actually a very effective representative for our region, but yeah - the time has passed to be moderate.
JFC, Abigail.
They were all of them good Bonds. Some were ill served by the production decisions for their era.
How was the movie last night? You texted after I was in bed and then I forgot about it until now.
Yeah, that plot line is... really gross. I hope he doesn't make it. (In the theater scene right now.)
Watching Twisters right now and it feels like such a fantasy already to have funded science and federal scientists.
I own it on Prime and probably on dvd.
Needed more Sam Rockwell so watching Mr. Right, which means bonus Anna Kendrick.
Repost with a gif from a movie from your favorite year in cinema With the amazing 1985 already taken I will have to give a shout out to:
The guy front right has the name placket Bautista. Dave would never.
Sigourney was brilliant as the woman calling out misogyny, "My TV Guide interview was two paragraphs about my BOOBS and how they fit into my suit!" I also use this line more often than one might expect:
A movie I never fail to recommend at every opportunity is "Big Night" (1996). Shalhoub was great. Tucci was great. The timpano was great. Isabella Rosselini, Minnie Driver, I mean, please.
Yes! So many great moments.
Sales associates Mr. Kool and Mr.Gang are available to help during working hours.
So many favorites in the cast. This was one of the first things I noticed Sam Rockwell in, playing the perfect Crewman Number Six.
Hubs and I are also discussing how Tony Shalhoub always understands the assignment. In a drama he can make you cry with a look. In a comedy he can make you laugh with a pause and chortle.
Also in my feels about the fact that Alan Rickman became close enough to Patrick Breen (Quelleck) that he went to one of Patrick's plays in the last weeks of his life. Breen described him as, "Frail, but still funny."
Rewatching my perennial favorite Galaxy Quest. It probably doesn't help others' enjoyment that I start giggling anticipating lines, then say them a second before the character.
Yes, this is very much a joke. L.L. Bean is an outdoor apparel company from Maine, founded in 1912 by Leon Leonwood Bean. He started out just selling the original "duck boots," aka Maine Hunting Shoe, and it grew into the brand we know and love today.
I could use some help spreading the word. My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...
If you haven't read it yet, it ties back to the Haberdashers...
Aw, thanks!
Semi-regular reminder that Acting Up, my self-pub debut and the first book in the Center Stage series, is free for the foreseeable future - have at it! adelebuck.com/books/acting...
It's just a thing people can do on Kindle, and sometimes they do (return an ebook).
My only 'sale' so far today is some returning Don't Mind if I Duke, so I guess they did mind...
I resemble this.
Is this the true introversion test? I don't think I've ever regretted canceled plans.
Same. Last night went from thinking a few people were alluding to something to realizing I was only catching the tiniest snippet of a large Discourse.

I've never asked myself what the LL stands for in LL Bean, so I've decided it is Ladies Love Bean.
Yuck. One of my southern friends eats salted ice as a snack. I have zero interest in adding salt to anything.
My last reply to you was right after the horse. Glad to hear the dog is OK, was worried.
It's odd. Over the top grisly doesn't bother me, but war grisly does. And all child or animal death bothers me.
Trying to watch Sisu and oy. Stress. We better kill a lot of nazis.
Was considering finally watching that. Tell us how you like it afterwards.
JFC
Avogatos at Law. Yessssss
Word’s AI grammar check blue lining shit and suggesting the statistically more popular word, even if it is not even close to the same meaning as the word you used, makes me want to kill my computer with a machine gun.
All y'all.
I guess I'll just stare at you in rural.
I saw someone say they were going over to Jersey for theirs.
"Her patient had signs of what could be a cancer or could be an unusual infection — diagnoses that would require completely different treatment. Ordinarily, she would confirm an infection after sending a sample to the CDC for testing ...the CDC no longer has the capacity to do that"
Over on Whatever today, I write on the Pixel 10 Pro's "Pro-Res Zoom" and how that "AI"-generated zoom feature is not creating photos, but illustrations, some of which have not much to do with actual reality, and what that means for taking photos with the phone: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/29/p...
The 'small' acts of kindness really worked for me, where they were protecting normal people on the street because they could, because it seemed like the right thing to do.
Celebrate Jack Kirby’s birthday today by punching a Nazi.
Just got through the final end-credit scene. I liked it a lot. They cannot pay Florence Pugh enough, she is my favorite.
Once she hits her stride, Yelena in Thunderbolts is 100 percent
Me, every week lately...
Happy birthday!
Ruin any book by adding*Tom Clancy's*to the title. Tom Clancy's The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Love it!
Rage rooms are just waffle houses that don’t serve food
Same. *hug of solidarity*
Tom Clancy’s Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October
Ruin any book by adding *Tom Clancy's* to the title. Tom Clancy's Misty of Chincoteague
That's... that's how I do all mandatory training at work. Shh, don't tell.
Yep. Intrusive b.s.
Ruin any book by adding *Tom Clancy's* to the title. Tom Clancy's Pride & Prejudice
My poor husband is being subjected to the audio portions of the 'training' and he thinks they need a pre-test to see what our knowledge already is, and that would have been great. Pretty sure I could have tested out of this whole thing.
That's exactly what I want to know, Jodie!
I am IN for this solution. They're lucky I'm in my chronic pain/disabled time of life, but I'm pretty sure that my rage will carry me.
Thank you. This is ridiculous.
It is as elementary and step-by-step as one could make the reading of a nutrition label. Apparently they think I'm in middle school.
Now I'm watching a video on reading nutrition labels.
Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
Around the time I was born my parents got into health food. By the time I was 8 they opened a health food store. My mom, blessed with ADHD before it was cool, fixated on nutrition as her Special Topic for about 20 years.
Being forced onto some b.s. 'weight management' thing via work health insurance. My rage knows no bounds. Am currently watching videos about things I already know because it's mandatory.
“Ethics means acting for the common good and setting aside personal interests.” -Panaetius
My beef isn't with the concept of machine learning but with the fact it's been entrusted to a cabal of profit-obsessed goblins who have collectively failed every ethics class they ever took and are now piloting our collective future with the moral restraint of a raccoon in a unlocked dumpster.
For our 10th wedding anniversary my sister got us a huge-ass gift card for a fancy cheese shop, I hereby declare cheese is what the traditional 10th anniversary gift should be, instead of *checks notes* Tin? Aluminum? What in the steampunk hell?

My husband's kendo sensai was shaped like a dumpling, and he could absolutely hand everyone in that dojo their ass. His nickname was Blur.
Its international dog day! Here's a #Georgian perspective about1816.wordpress.com/2021/11/12/5...
One thing @prisonculture.bsky.social says often that is absolutely true is that most people in the United States have absolutely no idea what's going on or how the American government actually works beyond a vague sense of vibes.
OH GREAT NOW THE SWAMP IS WOKE www.iflscience.com/deep-in-virg...
I assume it is some vendor I've purchased from selling email and mailing address info, probably right after sending me an update about their Terms of Service.
Saaaaaaame. I hate this timeline.
Marcos Sausage Magnifico, so both.
Had leftover sausage pizza.
