I'm sorry. Did this event take place indoors? (I'm from Marion, btw)

Is Andre Brock on bluesky?

I bet more locals would attend the #gally1 teen hangout if it weren't scheduled for 4pm on a Friday, when most kids are still doing school things.

The app refreshed and the plane is gone.

Let's see where this super secret airplane is going.

When Trump is gone, his cronies are going to use his memory the same way that Disney suits ask "What would Walt do?" to justify their agenda.

The teacher recommended a Neal Patrick Harris number from Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog. My kid doesn't think of it as a miscast at all, but likes the song and loves performing, so they are going along with it, but they cried when they conveyed the conversation that led to the recommendation.

Nothing binary made sense. Inspired by Cole Escola's burlesque interpretation of "Iowa Stubborn," my kid asked to perform "There She Is/Loading Inventory/The Largest Moving Object" from Titanic A New Musical, but that idea was sunk.

My non-binary kid is having a hell of a time navigating their school's upcoming #Miscast concert. Imagine being told by your teacher, "sure you can perform those roles in youth theater, but you'd never be cast in them in professional theater."

I think we should shut down computer science departments, and every professor should be required to teach basic coding in a 1st year humanities course. That's what we do with writing and research already, right?

It's too bad the #emmys couldn't find any musicians who worked with Quincy Jones to sing the In Memoriam song.

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
And he makes an unbearable din

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god

If this dumb Marvel movie prevents me from being able to see Sinners in 70mm I will be so angry.

(Go see Sinners.)

This is gonna be four years of the dumbest motherfuckers alive painfully discovering why things worked the way they did before they broke them, then reinventing a shittier version with more nazis.

Just because people give an answer doesn't make it correct. If the category is "countries in South America" there's no reason Africa can't be on the board!

J D Vance is a lot like Grima Wormtongue but I worry that he's even more like Tom Riddle.

The cool part about The Onion in print is people leave them around coffee shops and workplaces. Kids steal them and bring them to school. People love this shit, which makes the staff happy, which makes the paper better, which makes business better. We consult no algorithm. We just make fun of jerks.

I just saw Pirates! A Penzance Musical on its first night of previews and while the show did a great job of relocating the original in New Orleans, including musically, the overt Indigenous erasure of the last song and the half-hearted attempt to justify it spoiled what was an otherwise fun show.

I mean, we all know the reasons, but I'd like someone opposed to the idea to explain the difference between the two.
