BLACK ANGEL, because if the first bender places you in a heap of shit, only a second bender can make you remember it, and only a THIRD bender can resolve it all.

That bit on “Weekend Update” with Dismukes was really funny in the exact way you describe. So good.

Can somebody make me a meme of Stellan Skarsgård lazing about on various couches/benches/communal sitting areas in GOOD WILL HUNTING?

You nailed it. I struggle with this, too, and I’m seeking ideas from those smarter than I am—maybe schooled in the history of similar historical situations here and elsewhere—about ways to shift my energy to artful subversion.

Just said the same! Sliding into dude’s ankles there would’ve been allowed, though. Let the man jump into the path of a cannon throw!

Oh, man! I always felt like the only one who watched and/or loved this show, and I haven’t thought about it in yearrrrs. Beautiful.

I have never seen a minute of "The West Wing." I am a 47-year-old white man from the Midwest.

This won’t be good for his status in the Joe Girardi Circle of Trust.

Look at this Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes-ass guy.

Absolutely Dorothy. She’s amazing, I’d have a killer mother-in-law, and the occasional pop-ins from Stan would be endlessly entertaining.

I was at a protest in Iowa City yesterday that featured a local leader saying the same. As someone who has to constantly fight against my own doomerism, they were right, you are right, and it’s good to see and hear it repeated.

As a reader, it shows. I truly value the work.

I adores film but have no academic background in it, so that nurturing is exactly what I look for in the film writers I follow. They (you!) articulate what I *feel* about movies. Further, when I trust a writer, y’all also help guide me toward and away from movies (time is tight!). Very well said.

I got to see him in May. He steamrolled (compliment) through about 25 songs with barely a breath between. One of the loudest shows I’ve seen in a spell. Perfection.

YouTube video by City Channel 4 - Iowa City Students give Longfellow tunnel a fresh look!

Timeline cleanse: I’ve run and walked through this tunnel countless times in my 28 years in this town, and it always brings me so much joy. Hell yeah, kids.

I can’t believe that kid wearing jeans during practice isn’t better at cross country.

Post a horror movie everyone should see

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Cooking all day on a Saturday for my people while …
2. listening to records and …
3. sipping wine then …
4. slowly dining together before …
5. screening a movie for us all in the basement to end the night.

LinkedIn pretty soon, probably:

“Experienced Solutioner, school-shooting industry”

Wake up, babe. New industry just dropped.

As I carried two coffees through the parking lot earlier today, an older man rolled down his car window and did the whole “Is one of those for me?” with the youthful exuberance of someone whose been sitting on that one a spell. Fella nailed it, too. Not enough guys like that out there anymore.

Meme of man leaning into a microphone with the word "WOULD" at bottom.

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future (aspirational version):

FUCK, that Vic Chestnut pull is STRONG.
