It's disgusting to agree to the punishment of entire groups of people based on the voting patterns of some. I do find it interesting how few of you are calling the COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT OF WHITE PEOPLE though.

fun factoid from the decline of thew newspaper industry: i was the detroit free press intern of the year in 2004. it came with a $1,000 bonus check. over the next 14 years at the louisville courier-journal and boston globe i got like 2 bonuses total, and neither was close to that much

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

The image is of a comic.
Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.
Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!"
Panel three depicts the girl smiling.
Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

Nutcracker 2025 show 11

The baby mice are required to hold their tails up when not onstage.

They are not required use them to fence with other baby mice. Yet here we are.

Then you have the one kid who is chasing her tail because she doesnโ€™t know how else to reach it.

Nutcracker 2025 show 7

A coworker just had the nightmare happen. While ONSTAGE behind scenery waiting for a cue HIS PHONE GOES OFF.

The look of horror on his face was pretty hilarious but was nothing compared to the look the rest of us onstage had whose expression was โ€œthank god it wasnโ€™t me!โ€

Nutcracker 2025 show 10

While waiting for a massive scenic wagon to clear I find myself huddled next to the Snow Queen.

For the record she asked ME โ€œCome here often?โ€

My response was along the lines of โ€œYeah, I have an aversion to being run overโ€

We both got a good laugh out of the moment.

I canโ€™t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because itโ€™s about toys so now theyโ€™re making like Bananagrams the movie

This is a great book! Go get it! (All of Liliโ€™s books are great). Looking for a trilogy? Try Gallo and Ragged, first book is Trailer Park Fae. I just finished it for the (approximately) tenth time โ€ฆ
