All you companies out there who say my item has shipped when, in fact, all you’ve done is create a label: I see what you’re doing and I don’t approve.

@rianjohnson.bsky.social Just finished my kajillionth rewatch of The Last Jedi and it continues to stun me with its greatness every single time.
I still can’t believe my favorite SW movie came out when I was in my mid-forties.
Such a joy. Thank you for it. 😍

No one told me that hot flashes could be accompanied by cold flashes. I need a sweater and my little handheld fan within 10 minutes of each other.

@daveholmes.bsky.social Hi Dave! I’ve been a fan of your writing for EONS and yet somehow only read Party of One over the last week or so. (Actually, listened to the audiobook because your voice is nice, too.)
So I’m just here to say that I loved it and to thank you for it! 💗

Underreported symptom of being an old: inability to just leave the house with everything you need. Either my partner or I have to come back for whatever we forgot like 80% of the time.

I have a good, professional job with good health insurance. Last month I needed a biopsy. The results weren’t bad, fortunately. But now I have a bill for a thousand dollars.
I’m too weary of it all for any insightful commentary, but we are very obviously doing this wrong. I mean jeez.

They taste nice but they spurt so much juice in every direction after i peel them my hands AND my glasses need washing!

@kentremendous.bsky.social I just finished rewatching The Good Place and I want to thank you for it.
Things are really rough right now and that show is an antidote. Not as escapism but as a model for something better.
I’m going to start (and hopefully finish) the Scanlon book.

I don’t like it when it takes me 5 guesses to get the Wordle and then it says “Phew” like my poor performance has stressed out the game. I want unwavering false confidence only.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.
At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

In Hot Frosty, a Hallmark-style Netflix Xmas movie in which a magic scarf turns a snowman into Dustin Milligan, who fixes Lacey Chabert’s house & heart, the absolute wildest, most unbelievable thing is this font on medical records.
It’s like a grim diagnosis was published in Highlights magazine.

@kennethwreid.bsky.social Hey, you were great in S Deerfield last night! My bf got our tickets and I hadn’t been paying much attention so I didn’t know who was opening. On my way in I said “I hope it’s Ken Reid” and then my wish came true!

Two months today since I saw #Macbeth at the #DonmarWarehouse and I’m still thinking about it.
Shockingly hot take: David Tennant is a very good actor, especially in Shakespeare.

Why do I keep dreaming about famous people? Olivia Colman recently, Michael Sheen a couple of weeks ago. Last night I was dogsitting for @joshgondelman.bsky.social while he was on the JoCo cruise.
They all seem super nice. At least my brain is choosing well!
