Riffing on possible Kennedy Center shows with @andybates.bsky.social and came up with an idea so cursed I had to share it more widely:

Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Scott Baio, and James Woods in Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross

@lindsayellis.bsky.social Actual conversation between my wife and son (who you met in SF):
Son: “We’re watching a video on Yoko Ono and the Beatles.”
Wife: “Do you know anything about Yoko Ono?? Do you even listen to the Beatles??”
“No.”
“Then why are you watching it??”
“Lindsay Ellis posted it.”

in honor of the day, my favorite Star Trek story is the one about how Dr. King was the reason Nichelle Nichols didn’t quit after the first season because he told her how important it was for TV audiences to see a future where a Black woman engineer was right there on the bridge of that starship

Lego Advent Day 24: We’re closing out this advent with a white-furred Ewok, Wicket, wearing a Christmas-tree hood! And Marvel wraps up with a Christmas tree, with Wong putting the Tesseract on top! Merry Christmas everyone! #legoadventcalendar

Lego Advent Day 23: We’re almost to Christmas! From Star Wars, we have an Ewok glider just waiting for a pilot. And from Marvel, we have a Captain America–themed stand, and I’m pretty sure about what’s going on it…! #legoadventcalendar
December 25, 2023 at 7:02 AM
Lego Advent Day 22: It’s another classic Star Wars ship, the Star Destroyer! And from the Marvel world, we have Wong holding the Tesseract! #legoadventcalendar

Lego Advent Day 21: If you want to sit on the Emperor’s lap, you’re in luck, because today we have his throne! And from Marvel, we get a table with a turkey leg and drinks. Marvel just seems way off…! #legoadventcalendar
December 24, 2023 at 7:12 AM
Lego Advent Day 20: If you like Christmas, you’ll love the Emperor with cocoa and an ugly Christmas sweater! And from Marvel, we have a train with a man on the back of it. You know, the Marvel train that everybody knows about! #legoadventcalendar

Lego Advent Day 19: I have to say, the Star Wars calendar is killing it with the theme this year! On that side we have the shield generator from Jedi, and on the Marvel side we have…a desk with an apple on it?! #legoadventcalendar
December 23, 2023 at 6:52 AM
Lego Advent Day 18: We’re still in Return of the Jedi, and today we get a speeder bike! And we get another floating character from Marvel, as Doctor Strange joins his Cloak of Levitation! #legoadventcalendar
December 22, 2023 at 9:05 PM
Lego Advent Day 17: We’re still on Endor, and we have a miniature Scout Walker (or AT-ST)! And from Marvel, we have the Cloak of Levitation, which doesn’t have an owner yet…. #legoadventcalendar
December 22, 2023 at 7:31 AM
Lego Advent Day 16: The Endor theme continues (concludes?) with the Imperial bunker doors. And from Marvel, we have something that looks suspiciously like a throne for Loki! #legoadventcalendar
December 21, 2023 at 6:57 AM
Lego Advent Day 15: Micro builds are my absolute favorite! On the left we have the entire Ewok treehouse village from Return of the Jedi! And from Marvel we have…some kind of arc reactor?? Yeah I got nothing. #legoadventcalendar
December 20, 2023 at 6:36 PM
Lego Advent Day 14: The Endor theme continues with Princess Leia in her Endor gear (and holding a cookie for some reason)! And from Marvel, we have ice hockey accessories for Okoye, including a puck, net, a present, and a rabbit…??? #legoadventcalendar
