I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1444

NEW YORK (AP) — Roberta Flack, Grammy-winning singer known for 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' and other intimate hits, dies at 88.

Had a dream last night that Fox News was obsessed with The Brutalist winning best picture

It’s funny to me that all of these fake toll payment texts are coming from a UK number.

Working on a Saturday, so I've got the Inception score going. It's kind of amazing how good it is and makes me wonder why I don't watch that movie all the time.

(George went to at least one Trek convention during the development of Star Wars, which is kind of wild to think about)

I keep watching the video instead of doing the task I need to get done.

I am not kidding when I say Madison intended impeachment to be used on the first, next, and last President who referred to themselves as a king, and we ought to do him right

Guys, the fundraising text messages have to stop.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

If you have the opportunity to go to @sxsw.com this year, I highly recommend you go see this.

I forget in between viewings, but Top Gun: Maverick really is just absolutely incredible.

Beautiful night tonight in Los Angeles

This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time.

just so you know, if i ever typed “lol” at you i was really laughing out loud. i would never lie about that, i respect you too much.

“MAGA[..]seek to protect private businesses from being required to cater to a diverse consumer base, while also punishing private businesses who choose to cater to diverse consumer base. That approach only makes sense when your goal isn’t justice, freedom, or humanity—but to advance white supremacy”

@arktimes.bsky.social should do an oral history on this Arkansas made viral video from 2011: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBcr...

Supposed “Progressives” should not be using Gen AI for illustrations. It’s based on theft of human labor and consumes unjustifiable amounts of resources. Just get an image from Wikipedia or use clip art!

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

Everyone talks about how the Batman Forever soundtrack is a certified banger (it absolutely is), but not enough people talk about the Mission: Impossible (Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture) album from one year later and how good it is.
