Wizard of Oz deserves its status as a classic piece of cinema but it's also so wild that every story from its production is like, "The producers decided to use face paint that was laced with benzos and ground up copper which kept the actor from being able to breathe during filming"

I moved into my first apartment last week, mainly to be closer to my workplace. And boy, it is SO nice not having to drive 40+ minutes to and from work anymore.

Trump losing his cult over a photo of him giving a blowjob would be the modern-day equivalent of the feds nabbing Al Capone for tax evasion: it is perhaps the thing he least deserves to go down for, but hey, gotta use whatever works.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

It's late and I'm stressed, but I still want to end the day with a little positivity. So let me tell you about a podcast I've recently become fond of! My personal choice of "cozy" literature—something that always relaxes me and/or cheers me up—is the Sherlock Holmes canon. 1/3

@schumer.senate.gov is a fucking disgrace and must be removed from his leadership position immediately. Or preferably removed from politics altogether.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

I have an unprovable conspiracy theory which is that Life of a Showgirl happened because Taylor had 3 or 4 vault tracks from Reputation that she didn't want to waste so she hastily wrote a bunch more songs in order to market the final product as an album rather than an EP.

Something I think we've memory-holed as a society to our detriment is that the "Party Rock Anthem" music video is a parody of 28 DAYS LATER.

At this rate we're gonna hear a story like "Ryan Coogler pitched an Episode 9 follow-up about Finn and Disney/Lucasfilm rejected it because they didn't remember who Finn was." #StarWars
