All phenomena are fleeting. He/him. For those who don't know me from other social media sites: Waffles (Waf) is the name of our dog, not the name of my husband. [Update: Waf was. Marlowe is now our dog's name, not my husband's. Waf is now a name for love.]

I can only find references now to him selling weed occasionally, but there are podcasts where comedians fondly remember him always have coke available too. Maybe Angela needed a kick from time to time to get her through 22 eps/year... but most likely the casting director needed it.
If you mean Bill Maher, it's possible they kept bringing him back because the crew wanted cocaine, which is the only reason most people back in the day had anything to do with him--he was a dealer.
Dean Cain is about to be promoted to Trump Impersonator. They're just stalling for the sutures to heal and the flesh to orange.
Ok so like don't write about it? Because that's how it's been since Reagan: the minute media deny the lie, the lie itself becomes the story, and that story becomes the reality.
By the time you feel it THAT bad it's usually too late, in my experience.
I... feel it in my bladder? Like, in the liminal space between my stomach and my dick? Am I feeling the need to pee WRONG?
Forgot to add he LIVED in Birmingham at the time and for years after.
I'm probably projecting--my dad hasn't a clue what half the stuff he's wearing means, and even though he was 11 in 1963 just two years ago found out about the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. He was horrified, and confused when I asked how he had no idea.
It's possible Dad isn't *that* sort of South African and not politically tuned in to the US, but I dunno. I'm half joking when I say you should perhaps leave a MAGA hat out next time and see if he goes for it.
Anything other than those comments/hats? They could just be idiots. Which doesn't discount them being Nazis too, but it is possible the dad is just a dumbass. Any idea about the mom?
With dogs (I'm so sorry I misunderstood!) you can kinda just let the dogs play and overlook the human complications. With kids? You have to worry what the parents are telling the kid, and what the kid is passing on to your own. But maybe your kid is a positive influence? I'd be a terrible parent.
Oh. OH! Oh.... well never mind I guess.
I have no audience and even if I did they wouldn't be targets.
You can, of course, stretch her out while she's wet. She might lose a bit of shape, but she'll retain her wee size, if not gain a smidge. I say risk it. Or shake her out a bit if washing isn't an option right now.
They're all pretty bad, except for the bad ones that are actually kinda fun.
She is the bedspread so I dunno what you're talking about, rule-wise.
I'm confused. Why are they 'framing' Israel for killing journalists when Israel admits they do it? You can't frame someone who just says, 'yeah, I did that'. Also, Palestinians are not Hamas, any more than Israelis are the Israeli government. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point.
A granfaloon, but a classic one.
Ok but like, it's a fucking amazing show so do think on it. I mean, the first ep takes its time, but then it just kinda.... goes. It's Dynasty without shoulderpads. Dallas without oil. Star Trek with a hairy Picard. Winds of War is a grind. I Claudius was a sprint.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
My flights of angels tie some limestone plus to his feet and zing him to his rest.
I am not convinced, though.
Angela Davis is here and the crowd went WILD
(The mayor tweet was a week ago. Surely he’s updated?)
I dunno. What’s the mayor and police saying?
You're right. They're letting FHP do it. www.wftv.com/news/local/f...
I've read that other cities in Florida are refusing to do this. Orlando is complying tho? apnews.com/article/flor...
Fun fact: the tiles started cracking years back. We asked--and got--a fresh laminate tile floor. THEY JUST PUT NEW TILE DOWN OVER THE OLD TILE. Like, instead of redoing the floor, they just redid the tile.
Honestly, I heard this in Shirley MacLaine's voice
True. The dogpark for us is open to all, and we tolerate (and are tolerated in return) so our collective dogs can play together. But setting up dates is elective and I hope Carrie can find other dogs to frolic with that don't involve Selina's discomfort with the associated people.
Maybe it was an Uber. Or an off-brand Temuber.
You mean it's implausible that Giuliani's driver got back-ended by a 19 year old while AT THE SAME TIME police were responding to a domestic abuse call on the other side of the highway? Have you never seen Magnolia?
Rudy is supposed to be destitute and unable to pay off the lawsuit won by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. If he can afford a driver--and, indeed, medical attention, a press office, and a security detail--then Ruby and Shaye might be able to demand another few million out of the old dry bones.
"Just keep doing what you're doing. I promise the world loves you." Yes, and Orlando PD is fucking stupid. Keep tying up their resources, making them defend this asshole stance. Color the world. The only colors they want are blue and black, but keep giving them all the colors.
Oh. Well.
He does levitate sometimes...
My husband wants me to mention that the kitchen drawer handles have been a battle for years--we've insisted on renovations as required in our lease, and the property manager has assured us again and again they'd be fixed. We've fixed them ourselves several times but gave up. The battle continues.
Vital Marlowe update: GIVE MY BELLY THE TREATS
...and even the good ones fall flat.
Oh. Michael Ragu. Rudy totally made all of this up.
Oh lord. Yeah, one of Marlowe's best buds at the dogpark has a human who goes full MAGA whenever we talk to him. The human is a gay man, and we thought we could work with him, but now we just smile and nod while standing off to the side and let the dogs play because they don't care about politics.
If H. H. Holmes designed a reality TV house.
Maybe it was ironic? Or just a hat he'd had around? (Also, I know you mean it was a regular cap with a Tesla logo on it, but I'm now imagining it was a Cybertruck-shaped hat, like one of those cheese hats Wisconsinites wear to football games.)
It would absolutely be a butt-dial.
I assumed he was being driven and not driving himself, though.
Oh jesus. This deserves more likes.
Damn. I left out the orphans. bsky.app/profile/kdem...
They're draining the excess syrup from him to prevent swelling around his trunk.
Then, the driver assumed his seat, checked the mirrors, pulled into the rushing New Hampshire traffic, and
The driver helped Rudy into the back seat, and a joyous cry came from the puppies and the kittens and even the mother dog, who was confused and a bit annoyed she had to pop out a full litter all at once rather than one at a time.
'Now, madam, you shall have a carriage to carry you and your family to the Four Seasons Veterinary Clinic,' Rudy assured the revived mother dog. 'You are reunited after less than 10 seconds with your pups, and have a new family of kittens besides.'
The mother dog raised her head, ever so slowly. The driver took a step backward, bumping into the side of the car. And the cars themselves continued to fly past, making whirring sounds and thumping along the asphalt of the highway.
'Sweetie,' Rudy said to the dog. The driver was struck by the stentorian force of Rudy's voice. The driver understood a command when he heard it. 'Sweetie. Come FORTH!' Rudy lifted his arms up to the sky, which broke open and there was sunlight despite the hour being 11pm.
'But--' the driver began. 'No,' Rudy cut him off. 'Don't think it is extraordinary. I am but a man. And these,' he said, gesturing to the wriggling masses of kittens and pups, 'are vulnerable.' Then Rudy turned his attention to the mother dog, dormant from her exertions, still in her breath.
Now laden with kittens and puppies, Rudy turned to the astonished driver. 'Just another day,' Rudy said. 'Sir, that was amazing!' the driver responded. 'No, not amazing. Human. We must be kind to all creatures, and do what we can to help them. That is what I do.'
as if to say, 'Thank you, America's Mayor!' Then, pockets filled with squirming kittens, Rudy moved to the dog, and eased her labor with a simple word: 'Timshel,' Rudy said, and suddenly 15 wet, yelping puppies appeared from the mother dog. The mother dog, her purpose done, died in Rudy's arms.
Cars zipped past, the drivers unaware of the minor miracle happening in their rearview mirrors. The driver watched, astonished, as Rudy touched the bucket imprisoning the sheep, causing the bucket to fall away. The sheep darted away from the highway but glanced back,
'Oh thank god I stopped!' Rudy cried, creaking down on one knee to comfort the sheep and gather the kittens to him. He touched the forehead of the dog giving birth. 'It's okay, sweetie,' he cooed at the dog. 'I'm here now.'
Rudy Giuliani stopped on the side of a busy highway. He sensed something was wrong, and begged his driver, 'Just pull over! Pull over!' The driver complied. Rudy stepped out of the car, and discovered a litter of kittens, a sheep with its head stuck in a bucket, and a dog giving birth to puppies.
I don't want to dismiss domestic abuse or denigrate sex work, but... he got beaten up by a pimp, right?
Seriously, the most UNbelievable part of this is that Giuliani can still afford to have a press office.
Uhm. 'Prior to the incident, he was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident.' I'm gonna go out on a limb and... you know what, let's just sit back and let this play out over a few days to find out what actually happened. Maybe there was a kitten in a tree, too.
Also the first one is genuinely interesting as well as pop-corny: I am a sucker for split screens and insets, and that movie is full of them.
I know. That's why I am amused a lot of them were like, 'Oh yeah terrible choice.' The only actor who has a credible gripe is Lemmon, who almost died because of a SCUBA scene where they didn't give him enough oxygen in his tank, and risked getting the bends saving himself.
He's receiving treatment at Four Seasons Tree Hospital.
Only in the first one do you actually deal with an actual airport of course--the rest are just airplane movies (or in the third movie's case, a sort of airplane/LOST situation). But I find it hilarious that 90% of the actors were like, 'Yeah, that was a piece of shit. Look at my new pool.'
The thing is, they're fun movies. They make absolutely no sense, and the quality and logic decrease as you go along the franchise, but... I mean, Gloria Swanson plays herself in the 2nd one, for chirssakes. You have Myrna Loy playing a fun drunk as well.
Then, of the 3rd Airport movie, Jack Lemmon regretted being in it. His previous movie had been a bomb and he was afraid he'd never work again so told his agent to accept the next high-paying job that came along. That movie was the third Airport movie. "Biggest mistake of my career," he said.
Linda Blair, who plays the sick child parodied in Airplane!, was asked in an interview WHILE the second Airport movie was number 1 at the box office that week, what it felt like being in another runaway hit (after The Exorcist) and she said, 'I really wish they had just cut me out of the picture.'
Dude, you're dissing a little old lady with that statement. Helen Hayes won an academy award for Airport (and she was very good in it!) so Lancaster hated the movie so much he was fine insulting a 70 year old acting legend. MEANwhile, in the second one:
Burt Lancaster, in the first one, called it a piece of shit and said he only took the role to get enough money to finance less commercial movies. It was nominated for several Academy Awards and Lancaster said how that happened his beyond him--insisting it didn't deserve any awards.
For whatever reason, I've been watching the Airport movies before they leave Netflix at midnight tonight. Also reading the trivia. Almost to a one, each actor bitched about taking the gig even though the movies were huge hits (save the 4th one). It's just funny to me.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
You truly are a random human. I'm gonna just block you, I think. Randomly.
Of course. I don't know how much anyone knew about him which makes it funnier to me. Larry David is pretty on record as being a liberal so the idea that he was Kennedy-blind and might've helped pick up roadkill with RFKjr thinking it's just something Kennedys do is kinda amusing.
He did, I think. Not sure he was playing Cupid tho.
Yes. I am sure that is something that will be on everyone's minds after the collapse of the healthcare system.
Then it'd be Little Bo Beep, surely?
Dear lord. A generation or so from now, people are gonna rewatch that show and think *she* is the terrible spouse.
Now I'm sure those same people would go up to Larry David and ask him how he could've ever married that woman, and why it took so long to divorce her.
I was gonna say it looks like the view of Hiroshima from Nagasaki but didn't want to be rude.
Did the boy hot dog give the girl hot dog a black eye? Is that why he's celebrating?
If you mean broadcast journalism rather than print, I think people forget 'The China Syndrome' is actually pretty good as a procedural and a comment on broadcast media. I dunno if they're getting all the details right, but it's methodical and has a post-'Network'/'All The President's Men' feel.
Buckley responded: Now listen you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in the goddamn face, and you'll stay plastered. I'm sure Theil, who is gay, would somehow approve.
Gore Vidal called William F. Buckley a 'crypto-Nazi' so I always think of it like that.
Long-form. We want the full accounting.
I first noticed it on X Files--they'd show the Chris Carter name, and then hit hyperdrive with the rest of the credits and I imagine some people ended up having a seizure.
I mean, this was 30 years ago. youtu.be/FSpi7qZt_fU?...
That's... been done for decades. It may seem odd when you're watching it on streaming but then again if you're watching it on streaming I'm surprised you got that far into the credits before they jumped to the next episode.
It's gonna be hilarious when they have all the fake Melanias and the fake Donalds and no one is gonna remember who is who and which one is the designated 'real' one among bother of them.
I don't care, do you ....will be on her tombstone or whatever the Trump family decides to plant her in.
They're using him as Trump's golfing bodydouble aren't they.
"...I wish I were dead too."
But he'd say it right before sign-off in one line, and that'd be that.
Christ. I mean, for years on Curb I appreciated her. She stuck with Larry for much longer than any sane person would, and managed to sell that bond. Then they got divorced (on the show) and she chose Ted Danson and I thought good for her. But in real life, she picked someone WORSE.
I know nothing about baseball really. I mean, I played it when I was a kid, and was quietly moved from third base to left field because I wanted to find a four-leaf clover. But even I know at some point you're supposed to yell, 'I got it' and then, you know, GET it.
Why does he always look like he's in the middle of telling a fishing story?
People are keeping count? Good lord.
Marjorie Post would be so sad to see what happened to her Mar-a-Lago, which she wanted to be used by the National Park Service. Alas.
