I watched a video on YT about the biggest flops of the year. Never heard of them. I think it’s a scam. Never saw a single ad for them. The millions they are spending on these films are going to people skimming off the top. The studios write off the losses.

The next time he needs an operation I hope a so-called “expert” surgeon hands him a scalpel and wishes him luck. He is a dangerous idiot.

I believe I read in another post that the man was the kid’s father. The woman holding the tote bag is his mother. It seemed a little strange that the kid didn’t put up much of fuss but it makes sense if the man is his dad.

Interestingly, this post appears in my feed directly under NPR’s tepid review of The Roses (a remake of War of the Roses from the 80s. Great movie btw). Apparently that film could have used material like this 😂

The top half of that skirt makes no sense and the design of the beads emphasizes its sack like qualities. Hmm I just remembered there was a character on Sons of Anarchy called Half-Sack (he only had one testicle). I think her skirt triggered that memory. 😆

He thinks he’s a superhero. He came to Phoenix and climbed a mountain in jeans. What a dumbass. If he does that again and has to be rescued I hope he gets this treatment

And since the use of SSRIs is confined to countries like the US with high amounts of gun violence…wait this just in…actually SSRIs are used in countries without significant gun violence. Well the search goes on for the cause of gun violence. Whatever could it be????

There are a couple of these 20th anniversary docs out now. I’m curious to know more but not sure I can take it. I was absolutely gutted watching it unfold the first time. Also what if I’m not gutted again? Not sure I want to know how much I’ve been desensitized.

Normalize free lunch for all kids! Also parents whose kid has a friend who hangs around at supper time, please offer to feed them as often as you can. You can’t solve the world’s problems but feeding a kid who may have nothing at home can help fix a little of the damage caused by crappy parents.

I assume this is about the sandwich thrower. Children are being shot in school but our top law enforcement officials are focused on this and repeatedly trying to deport ONE man who has committed no violent crime to random countries.

Yes. Reagan started that bullshit and the media had such a crush on him they never questioned or pushed back. They just let it infiltrate the lexicon.

I’m fascinated by men standing around the ladies clothing department, leaning on racks of clothes and getting in the way while their wives shop. And by fascinated I mean annoyed.

He is either an idiot or thinks he’s speaking to idiots. What drove the combatants to the negotiating table, JD? One side was vanquished. See Appomattox Courthouse “negotiation”, if you need a refresher.

Have had Prime for years solely for shipping. Never even looked at their streaming service until they sent me a literal letter 😆. I checked it out and found it unimpressive. It’s the last place I look for something to watch. When they started showing ads, they fell even further off my radar.

Aren’t most CBs located along highways? This sign makes it much easier to identify on a billboard or other signs when you’re moving at high speed. With the old logo you saw the vague shape and muddy color and thought maybe that’s a CB.

Being sent a ballot is not the same as voting. Just like being on voting rolls is not the same as voting. People die. Sometimes they die after their ballots are mailed to them. Sometimes they die after they’ve sent them in. Sometimes they die on the way home from casting their ballot in person. 1/

My family is from Tennessee. I don’t recall spaghetti being a regular side but catfish brings back some memories. Haven’t had it in a minute so I’ve been triggered. I wonder if I can track down some good catfish in Arizona?

There was a huge place card with the man’s name on it right in front of him. I’ve heard people speculate that Trump is only semiliterate. I thought they were just being mean but I think the evidence is stacking up.

No one is obligated to date anyone. They can say no for any reason or no reason. It’s not a job interview. The audacity of thinking you’re entitled to an explanation for someone’s personal choice and then having the gall to argue with them? People need to grow up.

Compared to all the other leaders, Trump is the most disheveled. That includes the one who commuted from an actual war zone.

this interview but with Jamie Lee Curtis and the actor who played Michael Myers. She’s “we’re ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ mixed with Dumb & Dumber”. And he talks about scaring people at the grocery store by sending his son to tell them he wants to kill them. I have a weird sense of humor…

Love the point about beginning the season with the shooting. Maybe a device he’ll deploy in season 4? Also was I the only person who pictured the ladies walking into the ball together as a Sex and the City scene? Marian is clearly a Charlotte 🤣

He’s aware that some corporations already pay zero taxes, right? I guess democrats are supposed to figure out how to pay them even more so they don’t destroy society? Putting tax dollars into the hands of billionaires isn’t solving anything. Not doing that sounds pretty “innovative” to me.

Will is a wimp who’s stepping back from the Frankenstein’s monster he helped create. He thinks his money will protect him from the fallout so let others clean up the mess. His views on socialism are talking points from 40 years ago and don’t hold up when you look at things like medical care 1/

Kelsey Grammer. His work on Frazier was impeccable. A clinic of comedic acting. Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons is the best of the series. I will always despise his “Hollywood discriminates against Republicans” whining but I’ll always love his work.

WKRP is a cherished childhood memory. My grandparents lived in Cincinnati so it was special to us. Much is said about Farrah’s hair but Loni’s will always be peak late 70s/early 80s to me. I’m still fascinated by its gravity defying construction which was somehow both feathery and indestructible.

Other things Trump has fired: mirrors, bathroom scales, belts, doctors who insist on telling him he’s not 6’3”/235, accountants who tell him he’s bankrupt again, brushes that refuse to find the luxurious hair he’s sure is left on his scalp, etc, etc…

Maybe the best written sitcom on TV once it ramped up to full power. IMO season 4 is where they hit their stride. Frazier is a pompous windbag but that’s why it’s so satisfying when he’s brought down to size. The ski lodge is one of my favorites. His cringe is off the hook 😂

I’m a middle-aged woman who hasn’t followed baseball in many years but I’m weeping as I write this. Harry Caray, Steve Stone and the Cubs are core memories of my 1980s childhood. If I could go back in time and relive any day it would be a summer day in 1984 with the Cubs on WGN. RIP Ryno.

I predict AI will be used more to control and spy on workers than to replace them. Corp America is not a meritocracy where the job goes to the most efficient. When execs realize they can’t lord their salaries and perks over bots, they’ll lose interest in replacing people with AI.

/2 I thought she had hurt herself. I couldn’t find anything wrong. When I finished she jumped down from my lap, ran in the living room and jumped on the couch. She was faking! The next time we went out she tried again but I told her she was busted and to get back in the house. Reluctantly she did.

Years ago I dog sat for my parents and brought my dog. Their old dog had to be carried up and down stairs when I took them out. The second time we went out my dog stood at the bottom of the stairs and wouldn’t come up. She just pawed the bottom step. I ran down, picked her up and checked her over /1
