Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Stranger Things is at a point in the 80s where I’m going to be disappointed if they don’t include a robot sidekick who comes to life after being struck by lightning.

This video is comedy gold if you come at it thinking the people waking up in the church have no idea how they got there, who anyone else is, who dressed them, why the band is singing at them with such intense eye contact and, when they leave, where are they and what's even happening?

My mom is recovering from surgery and, to cheer her up/torture her (:P), I was looking up how to play the M*A*S*H* theme song which is called "Suicide is Painless" and now everything online is telling me where to get help or seek counseling. It's good that's a thing, but I just want to M*A*S*H*...

When I first read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I realized Ichabod Crane is really the story’s antagonist. Watching the Disney adaptation that I’ve seen at least over 40 times and, realizing just now, all the characters are pretty awful save for Ichabod’s horse.

Watching the “Halloweenie” episode of Pete and Pete and, man, it’s breaking my heart seeing Michelle Trachtenberg.
Still one of the best Halloween specials any show has ever made!

I will be happy to resubscribe to Disney+/Hulu and buy tickets to see Mandalorian and Grogu when Disney shows it can stand up to fascism. Until then? Oh well.

I held a baby goat today. It was the best. Like, definitely a win I didn’t know I needed and am better off to have had. Just, y’all, if you get the chance, hug a baby goat and just feel better in general.

My aunt called and my deceased cousin's name came up on the caller ID. I just froze. Almost didn't answer. Mind went blank. Grief hits in such weird ways. #hugyourlovedones

@preternia.com can you please ask the Hasbro crew at some point if they can add a tier to Pulse memberships that would guarantee exclusives for those who are willing to pay to bypass the hassle of dealing with these two minute sellouts?

A friend died a couple of weeks ago, another died last weekend (was on hospice so it was expected, but still), and a loved one is dying. I didn't ask if things could get worse for me, but my insurance emphatically answered as if I did and wow! They sure are experts in the banality of evil...

On my lunch break, sitting outside, and apparently 3 bears have been spotted in the area. I don’t have a pic-a-nic basket, but if I know they’re not at home then what better time to find out which porridge is just right?

Every time that fascist propaganda with Puppy Slayer airs, the one about how President Inept is saving us somehow and immigrants should leave, I wait for a team of misfit scientists to hop out of a portal to try and set things right or take me back with them, but instead I end up posting this.

What I’ve learned about wearing contacts so far:
1. Eye lids don’t want them put in.
2. Eye lids don’t want them taken out.
3. If something doesn’t feel right then it’s not going to smooth out on its own so back to 2 then back 1.
4. Phantom glasses adjustments are a thing I live with now.
