Would love to amuse and offer some light, but I'm about as worried about the future as I've ever been, and my nervous system is frazzled. So I'm gonna check out of here for a couple weeks and see if that helps.

If you learn to make one good, hearty soup or stew, you can practically do it in your sleep and it requires minimal tending. Then you can eat it for a few days straight and it frees up that endless "what's for dinner?" mental space. And it's inexpensive. Used to be a soup skeptic, but no longer.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

My new phone came with a free smartwatch and wow, it's just what I needed: a nagging pedometer that can deliver the latest headlines while I'm taking a mental health break in a supply closet.

The hairdresser holds up the mirror so I can see the back of my haircut but she accidentally uses the mirror that reveals how you die. I see my 80-year-old self tumbling down a hill after slacklining for the 1st time. I never know how to react in these situations, so I just mumble "wow I love it"

All the different pop-ups within apps getting in my way by trying "help me" with AI or other suggested features has gotta be slowing me down and crashing my productivity by at least 25% or more, in case anyone wants THAT stat.

Trump taking Maduro is honestly the least bad thing he's done. Not sure why people are getting so self righteous about it, if he needs help with weight management that's his business

"Eh...what's up, Doc?"
Starting in Feb, Looney Tunes will be a part of @tcmtv.bsky.social regular programming.
That is what's, in fact, up.
For the 1st time since they originally debuted, Bugs, Daffy, et al will appear on the schedule alongside Cagney, Crawford et al.
Incredible, ain't it???

Had one of those eerie, gargantuan dreams where a giant chain emanating from an unseen force in the sky was pulling my house up from the ground and anyhoo, I wonder which nearby world government was responsible for that one.

It Started with Eve does something unusual for a romantic comedy: it builds its love story between a woman and her prospective father-in-law while the suitor flits about fecklessly.
90 minutes. Deanna sings and charms. Laughton warms. What's not to love?
