Can we talk about how many of the world's people even have access to winter Olympic sports or would that ruin everything?

Yup, I think that was intentional. And smart. If it had all been one movie, people would have hated it because it would be so long and the second half is such a letdown. This way, they were able to make one movie that some people (not me) like and one that will be forgotten soon.

If it makes you feel better, they don’t remember where they store the seeds. They just store so many they can always find one. Have you tried driving hundreds of cars to the mall?

Just watched @realgdt.bsky.social Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and I have to say, I’ve been to worse weddings.

First sentence I learned in Duolingo Greek was, "The avocado is pink." Which is how I learned Eddy is color blind.

Visited my 48th and 49th states last weekend. Quick question: How many are there?

Of course not. They tasted like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. But then World War II happened (look it up).

Singer playing harmonica

Singer playing harmonica

When a singer starts to play the harmonica at a concert, why does everyone there lose their freaking minds? It’s like they’ve never heard a harmonica before. Or any other instrument. Or music. Or sound.

If we're ever on a road trip, and you're wondering what I want to hear, it's this. But not too early in the journey, because that's not fair to all the other songs that come after.
