Off-topic: the first time I saw an ad for this show was a billboard on Melrose, and a utility pole was kinda in the way of my view. I read the title as "plumbus"

The worst part is I had read the warning about gork blocking users on that list prior to subscribing, but totally forgot by the time I noticed

Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed this??? It's driving me nuts that I haven't seen anyone else mention it. I'm hoping it gets fixed for the Netflix release...but also I don't, so that I'll know I saw it correctly, and in a couple days I'll be vindicated.

You are correct

I stayed up until 4 am writing haphazardly about "Frankenstein" so you gotta read it

Also, I still think it's odd that we had FOUR '10s pop stars of Albanian heritage

One of the cats I occasionally care for got it early '24 (I actually was the one who brought him to the emergency vet). He had the subcutaneous injections for a while, then daily pills for several months. He's still neurologically affected and needs extra help with hygiene, but he's worth it 🧡

Wore only my dorkiest attire to attend an Intentionally Scary Event (first since before the pandemic started!)

Smart people if they read this thread: "lol this dumbass doesn't have a CLUE what we talk about"

Good luck, especially in the latter!

Pro tip from my last time interviewing for BR: don't mention people with bad labor practices

It is very, very bad that "artificial intelligence" is nowhere near the levels it should be at for genuine usefulness, while already being actively harmful. More really needs to be said on models being trained to not produce pornography, when preventing "Here's how to do it" should be a TOP priority

Went to Russell Crowe's Wikipedia page after kinda-watching "Gladiator" because I couldn't remember his nationality. Oddly, he doesn't have one (biography articles start "[name] is a[n] [demonym] [profession]" and often list citizenship in the infobox; not his). But also, he's unexpectedly based??

There have been a few times I've seen coyotes while walking/cycling near/in the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park. I react much the same as when I see a domestic dog ("oh hi puppers!" and make sure the dog I'm with is ignoring them)

The trios of flags are at four points along the stretch of SMB within WeHo, in case anyone wants to go see for themselves

* idk when or why she broke mutual (wasn't when she and my SIL broke up), but probably post October 7th 2023 and surely no later than last summer when I posted these IG stories. Omg I was MAD mad to be posting that on the profile my conservative family and in-laws follow 😭

Wow I've been mistakenly using "disclaimer" instead of "disclosure" probably for years. Did I learn this or did I mix them up myself 😭

The tables turn on a dime!!
But it's not satisfying, it's just more artifice instead of genuine human interaction. Booo.

And that's why I'm launching my line of merchandise for autists. I'm bringing back the slogan tee, baby! Now with intentional utility!!

Couldn't find a damn clip of the moment in the movie (it's at 20:50) so I recorded my own 🤷 sorry to whatever company owns this film. Actually sorry to the Deaf/HoH because I can't caption the video—but there is alt text!

Part of me is dissatisfied that a "Barbie" live-action movie wasn't made in the '90s, when Debi Mazar looked EXACTLY like the original Barbie.

Every now and then I look into dogs' (and cats') eyes and I'm like, "You're an alien. Still love u tho"

I googled "wall mount garage door opener" bc I don't have a garage (my parents' garage has a door that is lifted manually. also it's not used as a garage) and needed a visual of what you're talking about. Well, I got one alright
