That photo makes it look like there is a creature made entirely out of garlic lounging in a basket. Like, the origin story for "GARLIC-MAN" or something!

Yup! And Citizen Kane, which did this in 1941.

Oh yeah. The entire school was surprised.

Yup!

Me pitching new burgers to Burger King: Okay, here's one - what about "the Whopper, but good"? It's like a Whopper, but it's actually good.

Everyone was surprised, but my parents were super chill about it. All they asked was that I mow the lawn.

There was a kid in my 8th grade class who’d been bullying me and my friends off and on for months, so I started a fight with him by slamming his head into a wall. We both got suspended for the day, but he never bothered us again.

Agreed — and I believe social media algorithms should be banned, much like nicotine was (briefly) banned from cigarettes. cut off the radicalization.

But I’m a weirdo.

I could not love this more. And I don’t even have, or want, a cat. Right up there with @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social’s tour de force on excellent goats he has met.

'Smiling' fossil discovered in Northumberland The unusual looking fossil is estimated to be a few hundred million years old dating to the Carboniferous period.

Me: (chanting) teeth, teeth-

Other fossil hunters: teeth, TEETH

Women of a certain age in certain states, I’m just going to remind you that you can get hormones. Estrogen. Testosterone. All used to treat menopause. Via the internet.

And there are trans folks losing gender affirming care.

These two things are just coincidentally contained in the same post.

One of the most under-covered stories of our era is the power of these expensive PR firms in shaping news coverage and for whom and to what ends that power is deployed.

same, honestly!

OH MY GOD i would simply eschew sleep and pump out joyful junk like I'm a lab rat slapping the dopamine button

Karen Sillas Instagram post saying that her dear friend and costar Tom Noonan passed peacefully on Valentine's Day.

Tom Noonan as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

… and he played a detective on DAMAGES. One of those roles where it's obvious they cast him and then significantly expanded the role bc they liked him so much.

He played the actor who plays Philip Seymour Hoffman in SYNECHDOCHE, NEW YORK. Just a slew of fantastic, indelible performances.

R.I.P. Tom Noonan, one of the nicest guys who happened to play some of the most memorable, creepiest characters: the killer in LAST ACTION HERO, the Pallid Man on the great 12 MONKEYS, the imprisoned serial killer Mulder confronts in the X-Files' "Paper Hearts,…"

Yup. He was great in that, too. R.I.P.

filmmaking-wise, not yet mentioned, there’s also Kurosawa, who had Kagemusha, Ran, and Dreams as 3 of his final 4. Clint Eastwood? Spike Lee?

Hooray! Love seeing a Fallen London image escape contaient.

If you live in L.A., I strongly recommend seeing Rajiv Joseph's play GUARDS AT THE TAJ at the El Portal in North Hollywood.

Saw it last night. A stunning production that will rejuvenate your faith in live theatre. It plays thru Sunday 2/22.
