We need to bring back the 80s-90s thing where films start with the main character realizing they are late for work/school/curfew and bicycling/running through a scenic filming location while an easy-listening pop song plays and the intro credits flash by

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Alright, next up is my sweet senior kitty, Malygos. (iykyk) Got her 15.5 years ago, she turned 16 in April. She’s a grumpy old lady, who LOVES scritches and wants the other cats to just leave her alone 😂

Watching “The Great Escaper” on PBS, with Michael Caine as an aging WW2 vet. The flashback scenes are accompanied by period swing music.
In another 50 years we’ll be watching the same sort of movie, with a soundtrack of “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor”. 🤣

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it.
Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Transpo vans are a sign certain decisions about how things would be done were made when there weren't many women in the industry, b/c if a woman had been in the room for, "Yeah, if a white panel van w/ tinted windows pulls up to the curb, get in, that's your ride to set," there might've been notes.

The first time I was sent a transpo van for a ride to set was for Chicago Fire. So I came out of my hotel in a strange city to find a white panel van just sitting at the curb & part of me was like, "OMG MY FIRST RIDE TO SET EVER" & part of me was like, "THIS IS HOW YOU WAKE UP WITHOUT KIDNEYS."

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
