Happy #DayOfTheDude
this still fucking sucks cause seth has never been a man of 1000 faces or voices, he basically plays himself or himself as a cheap sinatra or one of the voices from family guy, and we're supposed to be all oooh seth you're a chameleon
you know what's still funnier than any of this?
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
This is delightfully 90s
This is a place that screened “Fruitvale Station” when mainstream theaters called it too political. That hosted Barbara Lee’s Katrina relief efforts. That closed for the Occupy general strike & put the truth on its marquee. That gave Ryan Coogler, Boots Riley, & Daveed Diggs a stage to come home to.
100 years ago today, the Grand Lake Theater opened its doors on Grand Avenue.
Happy #DayOfTheDude to those who celebrate
Make sure to take it easy
PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
My few writer friends have heard that some networks/streamers are looking for that "Pitt model" of 15 episodes as a way to cut the baby in half of "it is cheap" and "has enough episodes to build a following"
May I put forth that the song from Sinners "Pale, Pale Moon" is an amazing song to put on if you want to sing, stomp, and clap
There's something funny about Rolling Stone magazine picks Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone as the best song of all time
I mean, there's zero surprise. It is the reason they named their magazine that
Oh, we are COOKED.
MAGA voters backed Trump based on how he campaigned:
1) deport violent foreign criminals
2) release the Epstein files
3) avoid foreign wars
4) bring food prices down
How's that going?
The example I always go to is the X-Files' "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" but there are also several episodes of Supernatural where they would go off on a fun tangent, in the way you only can when you have 327 episodes
this is the way
I was talking to a younger person about the show "24" and how it was in "real time" and they couldn't understand it. Then it dawned on me that they didn't realize that "24" had 24 episodes (instead of the Netflix 13 or what-have-you)
What’s filler to you might be exemplary world-building or moving character development to me. Many of the most engaging TV episodes of the past few decades are, by some definitions, mere “filler.” One working definition of filler could be: “This episode didn’t supply the things I personally like.”
no shade to my friends trying to negotiate the realities of the v messed up new-style TV landscape (nothing about how it is now is the fault of creative people) but I only rewatch shows that have more than 40-50 episodes.
I guess I continue to vaguely threaten to write a book called Previously huh
22 episode seasons too 😭
Does he have to dress like a chef all the time everywhere he goes, like the Mandalorian of gastronomy
💯
I am undecided so far
And how about this! If anyone from bluesky gets tickets to the fundraiser, you can make the final choice for what dress I wear to be the MC. I have some very fun options, and this will be a once in a lifetime chance to get Marf to do something she is told without arguing!
“.. I don't have any concern about it," he said, when asked about the higher prices at the pump. "They'll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline price go up a little bit."

An addendum, it didn't hit me until yesterday how the older son being the "good son" flips the usual Bible script on its head, as we love younger sons (Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Isaac and Ishmael, David being the youngest of several sons)
Rabbi and divinity professor, Amy-Jill Levine wrote, "I don’t know what [the older son] will do. I don’t know what I will do. But the parable tells me what I should do, because unless I make that move of reconciliation, there will be no wholeness, and if there’s no wholeness, there will be no peace”
These stories aren't about repentance, they are about becoming whole again
The 1 lost sheep rejoins his 99 brethren. The lost coin is found. The wayward son returns home.
That's why the dad embraces the son before he can ask forgiveness. Because *we* should be trying to forgive before being asked
Only that's probably not the way the story is meant to be understood. For instance, the son doesn't repent.
The Prodigal Son story (which doesn't use the word 'prodigal' until the Latin translations) is paired with the parables of the 100 Sheep and the Lost Coin
