My kids’ review of the “live action” how to train your dragon is that they asked to leave 30 mins early because they had “already seen it”

Yes. The Young #IndianaJones adventures. A charming little tv show when you actually watch it but pretty nonsensical if you just summarize the plot. To be fair adult Indy’s adventures are also that way.

I was curious @maggiemaefish.bsky.social would you recommend seeing the relevant David Lynch movies first, then listening to your podcast or vice versa? I realize because Lynch isn't a conventional plot kind of guy that spoilers aren't that much of an issue, but are they one at all?

This is a very real thing 4 many ppl. If you need help w/SSDI, a few tips I learned along the way: 🔵 SSDI decisions are based on whether your symptoms substantially interfere w activities of daily living 🔵 They don’t assess what your condition is, but its symptoms/severity. 1/ #DisabiltyThreads 🧵

I have to wonder how sad it would be to be a Democratic Party strategist with no bigger dreams or ideas than "What if Democrats complained about pronouns more?" You know what would actually help win over swing voters that Dems aren't doing more of yet? Opposing Trump on the Israel-Iran war...

I feel like honestly targeted issue based #protests like this are the real story. Perhaps No Kings drums up at least slightly more interest in more of them #medicaid #disability www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

People including me have noticed that Netanyahu and his supporters sound like Bush. But I'm wondering if that's a matter of many Israelis remembering that era differently than we do or assuming the US's people are still the same as we were in the early 2000s. Curious if others have insights.

Is there anything more simple and satisfyingly beautiful than ancient Roman glass? I think not. Below are two examples - an amber-colored amphoriskos (with cobalt blue handles), and a purple janiform (double-faced) flask. #MetMuseum 🏺 #ancientbluesky See ALT for more info. 📸 me

Two magnificent reminders of the intense colors of the ancient world. The thymiateria (incense burners) depict women sitting on a well head, each holding unique objects. The tholos-shaped vase depicts three women surrounding a fourth. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ 📸 me
