I'm really just here to follow people now twitter is a hellscape, but I am a real person not a bot. I'm into sewing, fashion, costuming, history, archaeology, linguistics, space, dinosaurs, and travel. Always punch Nazis, healthcare is a right and that includes abortions, and honestly, eat the rich.
Welp, that's a movie I don't need to see.

I miss them so much. I mean, I still have a lot, but every time I pick one up to re-read I let out a little happy sigh and wish that all my paperbacks were this size.
The power of the nostalgia I have for paper books I could fit in a pocket.
Mass market paperback is actually the ideal book format

Broke my thumb jumping into bed.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Lack of handrails! So many sets with like 50 story drops and not even a railing to stop you walking off the edge. And failure to follow adequate, to say nothing of correct, quarantine procedures, especially in space shows.
#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

Sat opposite Mark Gatiss at a restaurant, spent the whole meal pretending I hadn't visibly recognised him.
Also saw John Boyega getting off a bus in Brixton right after his first Star Wars came out, he saw me see him and gave me the 'thanks for being cool and not making a scene' nod.

Galaxy Quest (1999)
Sigourney Weaver: “I wish they put out a director’s cut of the movie because, at the last minute, DreamWorks decided to release the movie with some of the more sophisticated scenes cut that Alan [Rickman] was in because it needed a kids’ movie to go up against Stuart Little.”

How can 5000 square feet, an immense size for 3(/4?) bedrooms, feel so crowded!?? And where is the person who lives in the 3rd upstairs bedroom supposed to bathe? Maybe that's why they say 3 bedrooms on the listing instead of the 4 in the floorplan? This is... a strong style.

Crap. Gotta delete firefox and switch to a new browser. I guess that'll be a good reason to kill all these tabs?
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

ET. My brother, who was 4, did not understand a) that you don't talk during a movie in the theater, or b) Elliot's name, so the whole theater was treated to irregular but loud questions on the theme of 'What's Idiot doing now Mommy? What's Idiot doing? Is Idiot OK?'
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

In delightful news, the nice men who delivered my Christmas tree today were wearing kilts! Neither of them Scottish by accent, so I assume it's a uniform, for reasons. (also not sure why there were two, it's a small tree!)

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
Summer of '95 I had a job assembling single-use film cameras, which I did enough that I can still perform the actions. I don't think they even sell them anymore, but even if they do I'm certainly never going to be making them again!

In the summer of ‘88, I had a job where I installed cell phones into cars. No one has needed that skill in over 30 years.

When I was a security guard 40+ years ago, a number of posts had manual elevators. I got very good at getting the elevator to line up perfectly with the floor at which I wanted to exist.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
I'm safe. And thrilled beyond measure, how do I get kidnapped so this will happen?

Somehow, this thread is just the most British thing to happen today.
In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.

Because famously, romance readers never buy all the books in a series or notice when books are connected? Have these people ever... met anyone else who reads romance novels? Or any kind of genre book?
I’ll say this much: This reads exactly like what it is: people who discovered romance five years ago and decided they had all kinds of amazing new ideas to “fix” it. Connections between books? That feel kind of cozy to the reader? How did no one ever think of that?? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/b...
