"Flavius, hold me."

I <3 Emma Thompson

LOL THIS DELIGHTS ME EVEN MORE

Reading these screenshots like gollum wrote them and having a great time with that mental image

YouTube video by the jenningses The Americans 2x09 - "You respect Jesus, but not us?"

icons only www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7JO...

Between having Phillip's "You respect JESUS but not US," line delivery randomly playing on a loop in my head while I making dinner earlier and just now seeing Miriam Shor in the first episode of Pluribus, I think the universe is telling me I need to watch all of The Americans again.

Yes!!! The sweeping orchestra, the power and range of her voice, the emotion. Very Lestat coded 🤝

I feel like Lestat would really appreciate Rosalia’s new album

please political gods let the funniest possible thing happen

guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

The domino meme format. The man is pushing over a small domino marked 'FBI tries to entrap Mahmood Mamdani by asking him about Marx'. The large domino at the end is labeled 'NYC gets a Socialist Mayor'

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

i personally am having a great time

for anyone who doesn't follow Canadian federal politics: yet *another* conservative has apparently now crossed the floor/left the party to join the liberals (that makes two since yesterday) due to terrible leadership from Poilievre (yes, the guy who lost his own electoral seat last election).

LOL I respect this advice and will continue to heed it in that case 🙏🏻

Okay I need your honest opinion: is this worth me paying for a month of AMC+ in this economy or should I just wait until season 3 is out and binge it then?

(I have officially entered my ‘old crone at a concert surrounded by the youths’ era)

I just paid $15 for a tall boy and it wasn’t even a Guinness 🫣

the federal budget has some really promising things in there ... if they can actually be successfully implemented (looking at the individual provincial governments ... cough DoFo cough ... who have already proven to be unreliable/roadblocks when it comes to post-secondary institutions and housing)

it's just me and my nespresso machine against the world today

I just finished. Oh my GOD. Top read of 2025 for sure. What a masterpiece of a book.

AFAIK it ends on a cliffhanger based on reviews I've seen so I am preparing myself to experience the same bereft kind of grief I felt upon finishing every single Realm of the Elderlings book.

To continue my unrelenting trend of book posting lately (the world is Hard and so I am hyperfixating on my TBR pile): The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson is SO good I briefly debated waking up an extra hour early this morning to keep reading it before work.

Sledgehammer, Games Without Frontiers, and The Court singlehandedly responsible for me meeting any of my deadlines today

I know it's a rough day at work when I have to pull out my 'Peter Slay-briel' playlist just to make it to 5pm

Shout out to The Hacienda for being the other horror book that really stuck with me this month. I am such a sucker for a good ghost story, especially when it ties in other traditional elements of gothic novels in a whole new way.

Hot damn The Starving Saints is exactly as good as everyone says it is; I read a lot of horror but this one feels like something special. Excited to make my way through the author’s back catalogue next.

it's very funny that they replaced spellcheck with spellcheck that gaslights you and also does not work
