The Netflix movie "The Storied Life of AJ Fikry" is a pale comparison to the book. The book is fantastic. It's also
pretty short so you can probably read it in a similar amount of time to watching the movie

I refuse to accept that the "G" in "gnu" is silent.

I wanted to be able to relax in my pajamalas.

I think something must have got messed up because they announced she was giving record of the year, and then handed her a lifetime achievement award with no fanfare. And then she stumbled from then on.

You're not required to watch anything, so that's nice! You can let big pop culture thingies slide by; something new will replace it. (I'm saying that as someone who liked Kpop Demon Hunters, but I don't need the world to like everything I do)

They're having an Indy Car race in DC.

Why is everything in this timeline so stupid?

I would like to pet a dog. 🐶

It's very strange to be living through a time they write protest songs about. The winter of '26 is right now.

Thank you, Bruce.

As an Iowan child of the 1980s, yogurt was considered east-coast elite food. (I say this as I eat my breakfast yogurt right now. Still in Iowa.)

User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Unsettled and angry.

It's a little strange to be writing a romantic comedy during the downfall of society, but that's what I'm doing.

Ah yes, really important issue they're tackling 😒

Every day is a new horror, a new "they can't do that," a new "surely THIS is the last straw!" and to date, nothing has happened.

I think you misspelled "I Will Survive," only winner ever of best disco
Grammy

You know what, it is maddening to have to contact our senators and representatives to get them to uphold the Constitution. I shouldn't have to so this! Just do your job!

Who the eff starts a land war in Minnesota in January? Are the people dispatching ice agents really that dumb?

(I think I answered my own question)

If you want democrats to fix your problems, you have to vote for them. Americans love to vote for republicans and then blame democrats for not doing enough.

I contacted the people who plan to run for senate on the democratic ticket in Iowa and asked if they could promise they would prosecute the current administration

Thanks for going! I wish I could have been there today but other stuff happened

Heck yeah, garlic soup recipe in the middle of the chaos

Eat something comforting and nutritious (or not nutritious) ❤️

Hey government teachers; how's that "checks and balances" unit going?

One person died of meningitis at my university in 1993. The whole campus--something like 16000 people--was required to get vaccinated.

What book are you reading?

I instrrumented AND went to the library! Kinda staving off the existential dread

I miss having a dog, too. We're just not at a good dog-owning stage in life.

I hate, loathe, despise that she is my representative. She's so craven.

Iowans will comment on Cooper DeJean's obituary, 60 years from now...

It wasn't a fair catch!
