So I’ve never actually sat through a James Bond film before. It’s a massive blind spot in my pop culture lexicon, so I decided to watch every single one in order.
I genuinely had no idea how much of a sex pest 007 is. Sheeeeeeesh!

Law & Order doing an episode on SWATing in 2024. I guess there’s a lot of stuff they missed in the 10 years off the air?

obsessed with this because putting on a bald cap instead of shaving your head is less like solidarity and more like “this is what you look like to me”
John Stamos wears bald cap in solidarity with his ‘Full House’ co-star Dave Coulier, who recently revealed his cancer diagnosis.

Ever wonder why everyone with Jack Nicholson’s eyebrows (except for Jack Nicholson) is a sociopath?
disclaimer: I guess it’s possible Nicholson was a sociopath so don’t come at me.

I love that this dropped days after I had my second crosslinking surgery for keratoconus. I’m fortunate to have caught it somewhat early and it wasn’t as aggressive as @grahamisador.bsky.social‘s case but nonetheless I feel very seen (lol?) right now. Excited to hear the rest of the series!
I wrote a new podcast. Short Sighted is an attempt to explain what vision loss feels like through exploring how it sounds. Episode one is out today with the CBC.

Within hours of randomly watching the Black Mirror episode with Boney M a few weeks ago, by pure coincidence a friend of mine texted me saying she had Rasputin stuck in her head. Ever since, it hasn’t left my skull. Now you all can suffer too.

How was there only one Australian survivor on a flight from Australia to LA? This is the one true plot hole on LOST.

Harold Perrineau has really redeemed himself as Boyd in From, after what was arguably one of the most intolerable characters as Michael on LOST. (I say that fully understanding that it wasn’t his fault, the writers just did him dirty.)

I’m not holding my breath, but I really, really hope Bluesky’s user base knows not to engage with rage bait. I feel that it’s the only way to preserve what seems to be a relatively wholesome platform. The internet needs it.

Toy Joy feeds my addiction to really fun toys.
The great-nieces and nephews think I give the best toys.
My standard is “would I enjoy playing with this toy?” If so, it’s usually a hit with the kids. If not, I move on.
Aficionado of slide whistles and kazoos.

I’ve genuinely never given a solitary shit about twitter. Something about everything I’m seeing on Blue Sky really reminds me of the internet of old, when people just shared content for the sake of sharing, not for building clout or monetizing every single thing they do. So maybe I’ll contribute 🫠
