My kid is watching Bridge to Terabithia. Do I warn her?

Don’t know what it means when I turn to Royal Tennebaums and don’t care. Just know it means a lot if I invite you to watch it with me.

Then, plan a fun dinner. Maybe make your own pizza, and ask what they’d like to see. When everyone sits down, surprise! We’re watching Baby Jane, and you’re stuck with your food. I have watched Rodrick Rules 8 times this month. My turn.

Want your kids to get along more? Make family time suggestions, like “Hey kids, want to watch Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? It’s psychological horror,” and wait as they bond together in ignoring you.

A black and white terrier is resting. He is tucked in a patterned blanket.

This boy gets breathing issues (we’ve had him checked) especially after a fun game of fetch so giving him some love and rest.

Shows not shoes.

Sorry! I got my tv shoes mixed up. No, haven’t seen the new RG yet; still on season 2. Hoping we can catch up over the kids’ break.

This skirt has pleats! I felt very chic tonight! Don’t try to tell me otherwise because you are wrong! I got both on clearance! Yay!

most coups are at or about this level of lameness, it's just that we quickly forget the lame parts of the ones that work

Oh so sad. Alexa, play “Hero” by Mariah Carey

Which pic scream “IM THE SOCIALIST WHORE?!@

We have one of the kids’ friends staying over and they’ve never seen this film classic.

Our friends Ben and Kirby lost everything in the Eaton fires and are rebuilding. Please share! And if you are able to, donate. I know a lot of people are in the same situation or know someone who is. Thank you!

😂😂😂😂 well now is as good a time as any to see it!

You should see Matilda. It’s a very good film. Not sure how old you are so you may have been either too old or not born yet when it came out.

Also I really like hearing more how the show came to be. I remember @margaret.bsky.social asking @whysophiewhy.bsky.social how she got into producing on the first holiday #CoolPeopleWhoDidCoolStuff episode and it’s so interesting to hear more.

Listening to the Q&A @coolzonemedia.bsky.social #BehindtheBastards with @iwriteok.bsky.social and @whysophiewhy.bsky.social and Robert, you would have loved mid 90s Fort Lauderdale ska-punk scene. I spent most of high school going to Less Than Jake/Against All Authority/other local bands.

My full set of songs is here if you wanna press play and vibe. I’ll go song by song too. A mix of legends and lesser knowns, with threads obvious and not so obvious to our aims today. May you also find an artist to enjoy and support! open.spotify.com/playlist/6tj...

My grandfather loved Havana Nocturne: How The Mob Owned Cuba and Lost it to the Revolution by TJ English so much he bought copies to give to friends.

Luigi Mangione in orange jumpsuit in the center of the frame, flanked by law enforcement officers, his hands are clasped and bound in front of him he looks off to the side pensively, seriously does this guy just not photograph poorly at all?

"Okay, get some snaps of that Mangione character, but you better not pull any bullshit where he looks like the subject in a 16th century painting called 'Christ taken at the Garden of Gethsemane'."
"Okay, now don't be mad but..."

Very much enjoying it! Excellent cast and writing.

I just finished season 1 of RG so this whole thread is very timely!

I just started season 1 of Righteous Gemstones and am four episodes in and wow not one person ever recommended this to me? And it took four seasons for me to even start? Disappointed in everyone including myself.

Excellent article by @iwriteok.bsky.social about the alleged CEO shooter

Everyone has unhinged Wrapped 2024s and my phone won’t let me do it because I am too chicken to delete my thrice backup photos/videos so I can have space.

One of the best feelings of cozy is being slightly woke up from a car ride home and fireman carried to bed. You don’t get that as an adult. Just “HEY WAKE UP.”

I’ll also say NASCAR is good for an afternoon nap. Just vroooooom vrooooooom…..vroooooooommmmmmmmmmm then maybe an ad for beer.
