Antidepressants have literally saved my life, to a point where I don’t recognize the person I was.

I expect no less from a person who has literal worms for brains.
RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

The farms will "reparent" them.

So happy that RAYE is getting the recognition she deserves. She’s such a brilliant songwriter and an ANGELIC voice.

New book thread for 2025! 📕📚 Goal is 20 books this year!!

Book #1 - “The Shining” by Stephen King

Ok I understand why King doesn’t like the movie. This book was more possession and haunted house than anything, which I really enjoyed.

Loved the decent into madness. Didn’t love how long it was

Need to do a deep dive on why Run The Jewels’ last song on RTJ4: “A Few Words for The Firing Squad (radiation)” is the perfect end to RTJ4. I’ll talk about the uneasiness of the song as it progresses, and how (unsurprisingly) it is still relevant today.

“Face it
The fellows at the top
are likely rapists
But you like "Mellow out, man, just
relax, it's really not that complicated"
Well pardon me, I guess I'm
just insane as you explaine'd
Or maybe sanctifying the
sadistic is derange'd“

I just finished 8 1/2 and oh my god what a movie.

Incredible. Just wonderfully incredible. Easily into my top 25 of all time:

I've always thought Pigeons were some of the prettiest birds. Really cool to read about their history.
Another thing I made this year. Pigeon history!

Ok so I snapped up a Criterion Collection streaming service on Black Friday. Give me your best recommendations!

I've already watched "The Red Shoes" and it was incredible!! One of the best Technicolor films I've ever seen.

Pick a Movie, keep one actor. The rest are Muppets.

In my deepest heart of hearts:

"Knives Out" with Daniel Craig as the only actor. And everyone else is a Muppet.

I need this to be a thing so bad @rianjohnson.bsky.social!!

Pick a movie, keep one actor. The rest are muppets.

"Whiplash" starring Animal. Keep JK Simmons.

Heart broken but so happy for Ilona Mayer and Alan from #DWTS. Really love her story and will continue to root for her.

These four albums have been getting a lot of streams from me lately. Been a great year for music.

Like I know the dodgers rotation was already crazy but adding Blake Snell just makes it laughably absurd. #baseball #Dodgers

I keep seeing people say that JK gets paid a royalty on every ticket that is sold to Universal Orlando parks and I just want to stay - that’s not what’s happening. You can go to the parks & avoid her getting a cut by not buying HP merch/food/drinks.

How Universal Pays J.K. Rowling for the Harry Potter Theme Park Rights - Exploring the Contract
There's no doubt that the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has been a huge success for Universal, but at what cost? And do they keep the rights forever?

Wow. Harris Rosen has passed away at 85.

I truly think the Theme Park & Hospitality Industry would not be the same without him. At least I would not have the experiences I've had without the opportunities that Rosen College at UCF allowed me.

An Industry Titan.

Rest in Peace.
