Can someone recommend a dumb thriller for me to watch? My brain is very tired so I want something a lil silly but entertaining as a treat. Sci-fi/horror adjacent is fine. Bonus points if it’s not solely dudes in it.

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.

He didn’t want to be seen driving a car with the bumper stickers we had (a very generic democrats one and one of Charles Darwin styled like the HOPE poster with “very gradual change we can believe in” on it) so he took them off with a razor. Most insecure little man.

In summer of 2009 while I was home from college, my then-stepdad was mad about gas prices for his truck so he took the car my brother and I shared semi-regularly when he needed to take longer trips…(1/2)

In case you needed it, here’s Sammy being very enthusiastic about a ball being thrown before absolutely not chasing it. (She loves participating in fetch, but she does not fetch)

The Fleet win in *regulation* this time! We are now tied for 1st in the standings with the Victoire, but with two games in hand. #BostonFleet #PWHL

I often use a fan for white noise which seems to make a difference with Sammy. You could try a white noise machine (like in therapists’ offices) near him or near the door.

The Boston Fleet announced they have sold out their game against the Montreal Victoire at TD Garden on April 11. It's the first Professional Women’s Hockey League game to be held at the Garden. trib.al/pHSBx4Z

- Boston Little Syria A public history project aimed at illuminating the history of the Little Syria neighborhood of Boston.

I know you give it a very passing mention, but the history of Little Syria (which was in the South End and Chinatown) is pretty cool! My maternal grandmother was born on Shawmut Ave. bostonlittlesyria.org

I don’t think anyone got video of the concert but this was our arrangement that we used to pitch to him (you can see me in the front row close to center)

My old choir sang a version of Mad World one season (at my suggestion) one season. Not long after someone saw he was coming to town and basically cold emailed him to ask if he’d be interested in a group of ladies harmonizing behind him when he did that song— and he loved the idea!

Sigh. The “bring about Armageddon” thing is a real evangelical belief and has been a thing in gov since W but it seems like the story from yesterday is….. questionable

It's heartbreaking and infuriating what our government is putting little kids through.

There's also an element here where districts most impacted by ICE could face funding cuts in the future.

Also, I had to take Sammy out before going to bed and there were at least 8 cop cars outside, which seemed like overkill considering they told me that they already had clear video of the whole thing from a camera at the signal.
