For years when I search myself on IMDB, I’m competing with this woman to find my own name. Now that she’s about to make me even more insignificant, maybe it’s time to check out her work. 😅

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country.

Our priorities remain idiotic.

if you're not from or have never been to new york i cannot stress enough how normal the subway is 99% of the time. kids take it to school. everyone is basically chill. you learn to be in proximity with harmless weirdos or minor irritations pretty quick. for all its issues it's an incredible thing

The actual female gaze:

Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.

The bus should have two senators

Bit rich complaining about New York being taken over by immigrants when there's a big fucking statue in the harbour that invites everyone to come live there.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Oh good point. I have lived in both NYC and LA. Currently in neither but love both.

I have been, and will continue to post this often. Your Guard, Reserve and active duty family, friends, neighbors and coworkers are going to need it.

Please share far, wide and often!

Definitely AI. The wings and feet don’t make any sense. I’m an animator and I’ve animated a lot of wings.

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you
