Among everything else...Catherine O'Hara in Home Alone is truly one of the great dramatic (serious) performances.

Difficult to say...Gervais ended up making it super easy once he decided to keep doubling down. I still think the UK Office was better. Fuck Martin Freeman, too.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.

I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.

The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

Someone asked what I would do were I the governor of MN. I would hope I'd be like Lincoln: once coming to the realization that there was going to be no way out but war, with utter honestly as to the stakes, using all his powers of persuasion to communicate that there will be sacrifice....

Before I came, I asked a local friend if the cold (it's going to be -20 or so in the coming days) would stop people from coming out. "No, we'll be there. It's ICE who can't handle it."

Mine's the one where Homer gets put in charge of sanitation. Putting the whole town on trucks and moving it instead of writing an ending? Dumb.
BTW if anyone is wondering, my own personal "this is when The Simpsons jumps the shark" episode — which is not when it becomes unwatchable or even mostly bad, but just a personal turning point — is Homer's Enemy, which yes I know a lot of you love

Lots of leopards eating faces comments etc but I am curious about the extent to which the discourse has been shifted to the right by propaganda because polls show that people were more progressive until the sustained campaign

We should not assume queerphobia is a fixed state of mind

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

Kinda like how all the champion Battlebots were just angry wedges.
it's crazy that there's isopod species spanning from the deep ocean to arid deserts while still looking basically the same. this is a message against fast fashion trend chasing. find a look that is truly timeless and for all locations, like the isopod body plan

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Terrible stay, staff very rude and unhelpful, everybody talks weird, rooms all identical other than weird tree or horrible noise in some. Only charged me for one night though
