Just got to the childbirth scene on #ThePitt and HOLY SHIT!!!!!

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

Pierre Poilievre rally in Saskatoon. A participant gets kicked out from merely wearing a trans T-shirt without ever disturbing anyone. My son is friends with them. This is what they will do if they get into power. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

A screenshot captioned 'Well if this isn't true...' Screenshot shows the Steam language options, with the two English ones circled: By the British/union flag its labelled 'English (traditional)' and then by the US flag is 'English (simplified)'

Also this one is funny to people not in the US, not so sure about in the US somehow.

How do you kill the circus?

Go for the juggler!!!

Time for some bad trouble I’m afraid 🦋🦋🦋

Okay, I get what this says about me.

Still, I really could watch hours of “How It’s Made” with a bag of microwave popcorn and a pint and be completely, utterly contented.

Post a warning ⚠️

"This Is Not a Pipe" (Ceci n'est pas une pipe) warns us against the treachery of images.

Painted by Belgian surrealist René Magritte in 1929, this work challenges the way people tend to identify an image of an object as the thing itself.

Life Has Been Lifing Lately Podcast Episode · Vibe Check · 07/12/2023 · 59m

I also have to flag the bonus episode for Vibe Check "Life has been Lifing Lately". This conversation by @samsanders.bsky.social @theferocity.bsky.social and @zachstafford.bsky.social about grief came out shortly after my dad died and there were tears and healing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

I’m listening to my daughters ‘90’s rom com’ playlist and she is eerily good at capturing the musical zeitgeist of that era.

I would love your eyes on this, next time you have your remote in hand and whatnot. Behind the camera, Laverne and I are co-creators and EPs too. A rare and beautiful thaaaang.

Shout out to all the massive ditties about Jack and Diane. You never hear about those and whatnot.

Tove Lo - Suburbia (Scene 2) YouTube video by Tove Lo

A very appropriate IWD song from Tove Lo:

‘I-I don't want suburbia
I don't need routines and lies
I hope you know that I know
You are the love of my life
But I-I-I can't be, no Stepford wife’

won’t you celebrate with me won't you celebrate with me

“what did i see to be except myself?

i made it up

here on this bridge between

starshine and clay,

my one hand holding tight

my other hand; come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to kill me

and has failed.” — Lucille Clifton

Whenever anti-trans panic gets whipped up, more of these stories happen.

An Ode to Moonlight's Chopped and Screwed Score How one musical moment changed my understanding of Barry Jenkins' Oscar-winning romantic drama

Dylan recently revisited the 2016 film Moonlight, and found a new understanding in the way Succession composer Nicholas Britell's chopped and screwed score shaped the film

I also know that the Libby app of the Toronto public library has Hannah in audiobook form

The Walgreens in my neighborhood just closed. I’m fairly new here but all the folks there were so nice and helpful. I was — and still am — surprised by how sad I was to learn about the closure.

Anyway, I guess it makes more sense now.

Rimmer played by Chris Barrie in Red Dwarf telling his Risk story. Anyway I picked up the dice again... Unbelievable! Another two sixes!!!

I’m sure the show about the best bits of battle reports will be fine but I did watch this episode of Red Dwarf last night..

Roy Ayers has passed away at the age of 84.

Jazz-funk great, rare groove king, neo-soul godfather... an incredible force in American music. Rest in power.

Would have to be!

A fully danceable, no-skip New Wave classic!

And lyrically, so influential to how I think and write still. I mean:

“Is monsieur a connoisseur
Or just short changed?
Off-the-rack or custom fit
It all feels the same!”
