We are rapidly approaching a time when ppl will look back and wonder why everyone was so meme mean about that Jesus portrait restoration.

I love a lot of things about THE RESIDENCE, but a John Sayles reference is the 😘👌🏻 😘👌🏻 😘👌🏻 cherry on top. A cherry soaked in good bourbon because that’s Jason Lee.

Sitting at my desk, with Fosse and Verdon are dancing on my screensaver, and looking at this pile of books (with their ridiculously timely names) waiting to be shelved. I’m starting to understand why song and dance was so popular during the war years.
