TALLEDEGA NIGHTS, but without the jokes

The smoke surely muffled the catbox (and ginsoaked sofas, winestained carpets)

TSEliot maybe? PKDick for sure...

Landing page for Kate Bush's record label called Fish People. There is an illustration of three people sitting in an old train car, two of them older women, one who is very excited about what she sees on her laptop. The third person by the window is a large nude dark-skinned fish-headed man with a set of bagpipes under his arm.

"We're looking to liaise with the Kate Bush fandom..."

Plus also: everyone go watch CASABLANCA again

"Heil myself."

Congratulations!

I love it all, really. Even the recitative dialogues sparkle.

I worked in the orchestra pit crew for an opera company. COSI was the first Mozart opera I ever saw (and I saw it many times), and it remains a favorite. Nothing against Don G or Figaro!

That's a great one!

This is fun.

So perfect

The "I am going to create an environment that is so toxic" meme, but crudely modified to read "I am going to create a Daylight that is so strong."

Another: like Reno 911!, it isn't shot anywhere remotely near its title location, which makes you wonder why they bother with the specific location at all.
(says me, who lives in Reno, grew up in STL, and who hasn't watched either show)

It really has become another utility now like water, electricity & heat, and I am embarrassed by that. But glad you're service is up & running!

It's important to observe International Bagpipe Day.

Closeup of the information card for the old bagpipes. It reads, "The old pipes of Kintail late 18th century These were originally the property of Lord Seaforth, Baron Mackenzie, High Chief of Kintail in 1797. The bass drone was added about the time of the battle of Waterloo (1815). (INVMO. 1955.004L)"

Gross.

Will most men think her bewitching when she is on horseback?

Hit that thumbs down icon so fast

A promotional email from Prime Video saying "We think you'd like to watch Melania, now on Prime" with a black and white headshot of the first lady.

This is a deliberate AI/algoritm insult and I will not stand for it
