When I watched this movie when i was younger, I was surprised that the president would be dumb enough to not know what time it was on the west coast (of the country he was elected to lead). Now that I’m older? Things make more sense. #IndependenceDay

We have now completed our very successful attack on Rohan. A full payload of ORCS was dropped on the primary site, Fangorn Forest. All Uruk-Hai warriors are safely on their way home. There is not another military in the world that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What can men do against such reckless hate? 🧙

Oh good! I was wondering when we’d be getting the strongly worded statement of concern.

My dad is showing up to my wedding as Chetney Pock O’pea, yall.

My 67 year old father, trying to explain his costume ideas for my Halloween wedding in the fall:

Dad: I’m thinking either vampire or hobbit. Or possibly a werehobbit.

Me: A what?

Dad, exasperated: a hobbit that’s been bitten by a werewolf

Observation from #NoKings in the Seattle area (Issaquah) - the stereotype of protesters being a bunch of blue haired young people is outdated. Senior citizens are out there dusting off their protesting skills from the 60s. The old folks are pissed, ya’ll.

Hard hitting stuff! If only Jake Tapper had a nightly platform on a major news network where he could have spent years raising these issues…

Just finished Andor last night. The original trilogy will always hold a special place in my heart, but for my money, Andor may be the best storytelling I’ve seen in the Star Wars universe. Spectacular writing, acting, and direction throughout.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I’m sure I’m not unique in the #booksky community in recalling early memories of my mother reading JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis to me as a child. My love of reading, writing, and fantasy has never diminished, and I owe that to her.

Seattle businesses offer olive branch to Canadians on important weekend amid political animosity According to data from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the number of border crossings from Canada has dropped sharply.

Speaking as a Seattleite, I’m all for better relations with our neighbors to the north - in principle. But speaking as Mariners fan, Blue Jays fans are just…they’re just awful.

I for one can’t wait to see how Secretary Jesse Watters performs in his upcoming role

Pedro Pascal should probably include a helmet clause in his next HBO contract. Never would have happened to Mando.

I’m about a decade late to the Black Sails party, but I’ve heard some good things, and I’m sure it’s going to be beneficial for my piratical education. Sitting down for episode one with pizza and a glass of rum... #PirateSky ?

I’m curious about this as well! Substack seems to be the most widespread. It has plenty of detractors, but people don’t eeem to have coalesced around an alternative. There’s Ghost, but they charge a flat fee, versus Substack’s model of taking a percentage of subscriber revenue.

I’m still angry about this. They never gave it a proper chance, and pulling it down so no one can watch it is just a slap in the face.

Happy April Fools Day! Nothing can be trusted, and any news that brings you a spark of joy or excitement in this cruel world is a lie.

Drop some attitude

Well, it was bound to happen. The Brads, Chads and Trads have taken so many of the little redpills that they’ve circled around and discovered…Communism. 👊🇺🇸🔥

I love this post. I feel far more creative and productive when I’m not staring at a computer screen trying to force something. It’s so bad that I’m honestly debating getting some old school pen and paper notebooks for jotting things down. 😂 Imagination is definitely part of the process too.

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

You’re a disgrace. History will judge you poorly.

Given the state of the economy, I try not to spend too much time wondering about what’s in other people’s shopping carts. All I’ll say is I hope the guy in front of me buying a bottle of wine and a bottle of Jergens lotion has an awesome night.

introduce yourself 🖤✨

I flipped an egg this morning and it landed on the floor. To anyone waking up to the turmoil in the stock market, I feel your financial pain right now.

Levar Burton is ready to throw hands with fascists

This is the energy I’d like to bring into 2025.

It’s been eight days.

My brother just let me know that he might not be able to make it to my wedding this year. He’s a professor of environmental science, and his department is preparing for massive cuts (while the state burns).

Hope everyone’s enjoying their damn grocery prices.

Nobody wanted this Super Bowl. Go Eagles, I guess?

Well, that flag certainly came out right on schedule. The refs aren’t even trying to hide it at this point.

I can’t help but notice that every time someone floats raising the retirement age, it’s some white collar office worker or politician that hasn’t worked a day of manual labor in their lives.

I don’t think this should happen, but if it has to, I nominate Chappell Roan
