I've found a good set of lists of horror movies I'm plodding through but I could use more horror podcast recommendations.
1) Audio Drama types preferred (Single Person Narration puts me to sleep)
2) Non-comedy
3) Non-Actual Play
oh no, I had dessert and now my tummy hurts.

That three cues thing has me thinking about a comments fight I just ran into which is a month old. Basically it's doing the "chronically late people are disrespectful" vs "you're ableist for being mad I'm ten minutes late" thing. Again+

Apparently, right before COVID hit, I had an idea on a conference call of Anastasia, after Cinderella III, goes into Fairy Godmother training.

Quote posting because I'm thinking of fiction and don't want to derail the original thread.
I'm working on a podcast about Kiss of the Spider Woman and I'm running into a long discussion of what is Molina's gender and sexuality, and I *think* what irks me is the conviction of declaration.+
sometimes I feel like people are so desperate for trans people they use with some very sexist beliefs to explain it. "this person is kinda girly, THEY MUST BE TRANS"

I dislike the people who RUN from the 6 train to the N/R/W platform, only to come to a screeching halt ON THE STAIRS when their train isn't right there.

I don't really understand the discussion of the TikTok lady who asked churches for formula. I'm not saying it's a good situation or that there's nothing wrong with the churches, but it sounds like a lot of them directed her to food banks, and that seems ...fine? Most churches aren't Osteen+

Wait, are we doing another Skinny Carrie adaptation?

I know people are people but the lady next to me is wearing ballet flats with a slit in them that makes them look like cow gloves and has to rock every time she talks so the entire bench is continuously shaking.

Look, I said Nobody and I meant Nobody:
Me, bursting through the door: LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HOW THIS RELATES TO DIANE DE PORTIERS
OH WAIT if we wanna go with History, and keep the Anakin fucks up the universe for love, base them off Henri II of France and Diane de Portiers where she was the last person to kiss him before he went Spain as a hostage. She was 25 and married and he was 7. She'd later become his royal mistress.

I want a collab with Derek and the Love Luxury Bag account on TikTok on this. Or maybe the guy who takes apart bags? Or a skit from the account who recreates Love Luxury's videos.
I think this bag is fake.

Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.

This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

I realize I'm quickly becoming an angry old dude but I'm kinda tired of everyone else being selfish jerks.

Three weeks ago, my cpap supplier said they couldn't order my new mask because I had an outstanding balance. I realized that some charges were never forwarded to me and some were paid and not marked as paid. So, when that was cleared up, I paid the remainder. An order was put in but I never got it+

I did a lot of dating and hooking up as the anti small talk movement (...that's a phrase) was rising and I feel like in that, it came out a lack of skill, for various reasons, but the frustrating thing was that changing how I interacted with people didn't change their response.+
If you start ranting about how stupid Small Talk is, I assume you're still some kind of rebellious teenager.

I remember being furious at how vapid everyone seemed, and then I hit 20 or 21 and just stopped thinking it was a problem one day.
people bitch about small talk, but small talk — and being able to shoot the shit with a stranger — is a key fucking social skill, and while i understand it doesn’t come naturally to everyone, it *is* one that’s useful and worth working on

"Oh yeah, Madeline Khan! From the My Little Pony Movie!"
Mine is "Danny Davito, aka the Grundle King from the My Little Pony movie"
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
