Why are baggage claims so hard to understand???
Don't stand right up against it. Everyone should stand ~5 feet back. This increases capacity and visibility.
You move forward only when you see your bag.
It's pretty danged simple honestly.

Somehow tricked my brain into being excited about reading again, and that's how the latter half of my 2025 is going.
Currently reading through #thisishowyoulosethetimewar and, while only being 54 pages in, I've caught myself staring at a page for minutes in disbelief of how undeniably beautiful 1/?

Ash and I are at a cat cafe tonight (Cats at Play Cafe in Asheville, NC) to watch Howl's Moving Castle.
I'm pretty sure this is how life is supposed to be lived.

Went and saw Sinners this morning. Incredible movie, incredible writing, just incredible all around.
I'm also stuck with the desire to now see a series of stories (be it movies or TV seasons) focusing on Native American vampire hunters. Somebody tell Ryan Coogler.

Everytime I've seen a trailer for the new Superman movie I'm just reminded of how hard I'm gonna cry when I see it.
That's how good it's gonna be. @jamesgunn.bsky.social is 100% going to kill it with this adaptation.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification.
I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

Luigi fans, it looks like the DNA evidence is 'fruit from a poison tree'. Cops took DNA without consent from a slice of pizza they gave him. It also seems they likely didn't have probable cause for arrest initially.

Just got home from Captain America: Brave New World.
Thought it was solid all around and loved the characters (new, old, & revamped). Once the distinction between Rogers/Wilson clicked, I also appreciated the slowed down fight scenes. Sam can't punch 1 dude into 5 other dudes like Cap.
Go see it.

If women & pregnant ppl are being forced to carry life threatening, dead fetuses to term, mandatory vasectomies should absofuckinlutely be a thing. 100% of pregnancies, therefore abortions, are caused by penises, so either learn how to keep it in your pants Biff, or snip snip bruh✨
