To be Asian? πŸ€”

I don’t have any issues with it.

If you care, there was a blonde and a brunette. The brunette had glasses. Both had long hair, and were wearing off-white hoodies. Both had little back purse bags, too. The brunette was the shouty one, and the blonde had the 1,000yd stare.

Positively chilling & great promotion for the idea of #BelieveWomen

"Why didn't you tell us #POTUS was a child rapist?"

"Bc you wouldn't have believed me, & you'd have elected him anyway, then punished me for having told you."

It's our fault, really.

That’s interesting, bc I’ve heard plenty of people mention Red Robin, & literally the most excited anyone has ever been was β€œI guess” levels of enthusiasm πŸ˜†

I’m sorry it was a disappointment for you, but I had my expectations calibrated quite low.

Old, white guy with a gut & huge belt-buckle waited until he had cleared the bathroom doors & made it onto the floor of the #mall proper before zipping his fly & buckling his pants.

Boo! Haaaaate that. He's got a ring (several, actually, but also a wedding band), too. That poor #woman...

Two teen Asian girls just stumbled out of the womens' bathroom at #Panera, & one of them said, aghast, "WHY would anyone DO that?" & the other one had a thousand-yard stare & was mumbling, "I just don't know why anyone would do that..."

... what the *fuck* happened in that bathroom? πŸ€”

It sucks. One of the worst unforeseen side-effects of being brazenly and repeatedly cheated on is that I can’t so much as see infidelity depicted in media without having a full-on panic attack.

Thanks for that, gals πŸ˜‘

Sometimes, the news is even funnier than comedy, and it's because they have to try to play it straight, and what can Miles Taylor say to this? It's all true, and so he kind of laughs, and just says, "Yeah, it's not great for his confirmation." lol

Note that Nicolle had to put her glasses on to make sure she read that correctly, because it's too wild and unbelievable not to get exactly right, and Miles is grinning already before she throws to him.

"Yeah, well, it's not good for his confirmation hearing, Nicolle," I'll say lol

One of the funniest things I've ever seen:

@nicollewallace.bsky.social reads #MarkwayneMullin called #RandPaul 'a snake' after he was attacked by a neighbor, & RP is in charge of his potential #DHS confirmation hearing, to which @milestaylor.bsky.social says, "Not good!" 🀣

Did the whitest buff-dude you've ever seen sitting at a #Panera table just loudly open a Bluetooth, hands-free phone call with a rip-roaring, black-sounding-as-he-can, "Whaaaaat's up, my BRO-THA?"

You know he did πŸ˜†

Oh, Jesus, he's said "brotha" fully 15 times now. Fuckin hell πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

This is fun! I've caught this brand-new hire or promotion (it's unclear to me) #BlueSky Head of Communications, who seems like a cool, classy guy & is prob a great hire, in the very-brief window of time when I have more followers, & can do him a solid by reposting him πŸ˜†

Go follow Josh! πŸ€“

And good luck to fired-idiot-walking Markwayne Mullin, too, for the full duration of his, I'm going to guess, 16-week tenure at #DHS. What a pack of fucking idiots πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Y'all, I am crying quite hard. The forgiveness scene? This hits. It kind of all really added up to something (I even came to love the frame story which seemed utterly inessential for most of it), and I might have to go back on Letterbox'd and regrade this as a 5-star, instead of a 4-star. Now that I've actually watched it all, lol. Who knew it was going to coalesce so well in its last 300 seconds?

Okay, #Frankenstein *really* came together in the last 5m. What a lengthy road to travel, & I have my issues with its pacing, but it left me sobbing, & I always want to be moved by #movies.

That's why they call them 'movies' (it isn't, though) 😭

Frankenstein's a hit for us 🀩

#Frankenstein does intermittently look pretty cool. On the whole, I'm into this #film.

And not just because I need to impress my editor I'm submitting the review to, which I was prepared to do. This is sincere, though. Frankenstein is pretty good.

That’s certainly true, in that I’m pretty sure I have roughly the same attitude towards #poetry that this gator does, namely: total apathy, until it eventually annoys me so much I snap 🐊

It is never more apparent how #antisocial I actually am than when my 🎧 have to charge for a bit.

I’m, like, beside myself. What do I do?? Anyone could just, like, say things to me that I can’t pretend not to hear 😱

Red Robin waitress pointedly told me, β€œThat #pizza is hot. Be careful. You! Be careful,” and had ZERO sympathy when she returned with a refill for Kai seconds later and I was suffering bc she was right and it was way too hot.
