I was really looking forward to that nap.

Colonoscopies are vital especially a 1 yr surgery follow up. But my evil body decided to catch a bug & made me violently ill during my prep last night. 6am, told to go to urgent care instead & reschedule cause I was 🤮. Got great care, an IV, meds. HATE that I have a prep do over. But I will.

❤️

Yes.

Looks like it’s time to pull this one back out.

Well this sucks.

I’m sorry you had to write it. But glad you did.

This is an incredibly insightful essay about a shameful injustice in our entertainment industry.

Looks like it’s time to break this one out again…

As a former ford pinto owner I can confirm I lived in fear 24/7 driving my station wagon in the 90s. But it looked like this and had Star Wars stickers all over the dash which is still cooler than a cybertruck.

Do I know any entertainment lawyers on this site? I have a quick question about fair use in terms of social media. Wanna do some talking heads over some tv/film clips, ok to do? Educational? Obviously, I don't want to violate terms but thought it could be fun/interesting... Mkaythxbai

They’d hire you before they ever cast him as a woman, so…

Give it time!

Everytime I see news of Jacob Elordi being offered James Bond I think about that Stephen Merchant story when a group of girls used him as a meeting place because he towered above the crowd. Imagine FrankenBond trying to shake a bad guy in a crowd. Lol infinity. Can’t wait.

Brilliant.

I love that this exists! Can’t to check it out. @shawnabenson.bsky.social and I talked about someone needing to do a commentary track kinda podcast and well, these guys did! Now to get those audio selects on streamers…
