Kinda wild that birth certificates and social security cards aren't accessible digitally in 2025 and after an emergency you gotta think about replacing some cardboard cutouts??

Imagine defending insurance companies who refused to comply with consumer friendly protections, and championing mega rich developers while blaming leaders who've spent decades in public service.
Capitalism has scrambled y'alls brains so good you should come with bacon and toast.

Few things irriate me more than "I called and you didn't answer" as an indictment.
I wasn't available. And I don't work for you. I'll get back when works for ME; until then you'll have to be a big girl and cope on your big adult ass own. K?

TCA EOY Spotlight: "I liked how this explores the tensions between the queer subtext in #Ripley vs the portrayal by a queer man who wanted to sidestep rote, predictable investigations of representation + identity politics," says @malcolmvenable.bsky.social .

Missed my connecting flight at O'Hare chasing down some Garrett's popcorn. That $10 tin of cheese and caramel ended up costing an hour delay, $125 rental car and a 90 minute drive smh

No one, and I do mean not a single soul on the whole globe, is more unhurried than a pedestrian in a los angeles crosswalk. Glaciers will melt, pyramids erected, continents shift by the time they make it across

Just hit play on the new Sterling K Brown/Dan Fogleman series and my first thought was "i wonder how soon we're gonna see him shirtless"...or maybe they're deliberately avoiding that in this one?
Minute one. He's topless in his drawls in the first minute.
Not a complaint! IJS 😂🤷🏾♂️

I’d like to see more major-media reports on how the involvement of Elon Musk with a) the Presidential Transition, b) the House Republican Conference, c) the Senate Republican Conference, and d) lobbyists is already unlike anything America has ever seen with a non-government adviser. 100% horrifying.

One of the best life hacks for living in LA is to do all your errands at off-peak/random hours if you're able; grocery runs at 11 am Tuesday, dry cleaning 10 am Wed, etc. The only wrinkle is literally wrinkles: this is also when elderly ppl be out and they are soooo slow bless their hearts lol
a woman sitting in a chair says by all means move at a glacial pace , you know how that thrills me

We really gotta start asking ppl "what qualifications/expertise do you have on this topic that informs this opinion?"

Feeling like the best way to describe this current moment in culture is the post-representation age, and I'm wrapping my head around the implications of what that means going forward

Trekked to what felt like the edge of time to get two pies from here. I could smell the butter and spices in the air: each of them weighs like 3 pounds and they keep orders in a handwritten binder! This that Big Momma type pie sure to immediately give early onset diabetes. I'm here for it

Please realize that all of America is now merely a frog in a pot just starting to be brought to boil by Donald Trump and his lackeys.
The whole purpose here is to get us to accede to each step in our own destruction without realizing exactly what's happening until it's too late for us to stop it.

I've been talking w friends & fam for 2 yrs about crafting an exit plan before it gets to a point where we can't leave, and I always imagined that scenario as govt mandated. But last night it hit me: what if, after they wreck the economy, you can't afford a flight out? So plausible it's terrifying.
