Oh what a falling off was there
From love of dignity, and quiet restraint
to a gaudy laser light show
And a taste to prey on garbage
There’s a 15 minute video displaying on the monument

Mentioned: The Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Artificial Intelligence, Lewis & Clark, the Moon Landing

Not mentioned: slavery, the emancipation proclamation, the civil war

My grandmother attended daily mass until she died. She prayed that her children and grandchildren would find faith.

The wisdom of those who have lived enough to be wise all agree: faith is essential.

So my one resolution for 2026 is this: to remember to pray.

Sheeeeeeeeit. Rip to a legend
An absolutely wonderful, versatile, powerful and powerfully funny actor who enlivened everything he was in, and a huge loss. I'm not going to say the word, but we're all thinking it in his honor. RIP Isiah Whitlock. deadline.com/2025/12/isia...

Heated Rivalry is noneligible for the Emmys. You know what else was noneligible? That's right: The Mona Lisa. I think that says a lot about what we consider important

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I’ve lived all over this country, and this world, and now I’m back home again and at the end of it all I’ve learned one thing: You only have one home town.

I was born here, I’ll be buried here. If I should die, think only this of me: there is some corner of a foreign field that is forever St Louis.

Never once in my life did I ever think I was the kind of person who could or would go to Hawaii. But if you ever have the chance to make it happen, I hope you do. You deserve it.

I’m anti soup and I don’t care who knows it.

Soup becomes better by running away from itself.

Oh it was good soup, it had a lot of stuff in it.

Soup becomes stew becomes chili becomes regular food you chew like a grown up that isn’t floating in dirty bath water.
The only time I think soup is an acceptable dinner option is when I’m sick. Other than that, strictly a lunch option. I will not be taking questions at this time 😂
