Every company says something like this in their job descriptions. Every single one. I am often reminded of Carrie Fisher in When Harry Met Sally: "Everybody thinks they have good taste and a sense of humor but they couldn't possibly all have good taste."

@erinmorgenstern.bsky.social I just finished The Night Circus. It was wonderful, and I especially loved how well you not only pulled the various threads together, but also (some obnoxious book reviews to the contrary) defied my expectations. So thank you for the hours of enjoyment.

I think every press gaggle or interview needs a heckler standing behind the journalist to simply call out things Mike, “Tgats a lie!” or “horeshit” and such. To keep the interviewees on their toes and to act as audience surrogates. I’m tired of journalists allowing politicians to give BS answers.

So today the dog distribution network decided it was my turn. A husky ffs. We live in a rental with two cats and a no-dogs clause, so he (or she; it’s midnight) can’t stay here. And being GenX it never occurred to me to film the capture and rescue to my house. So yeah, that happened.

Out of all the horrible things Trump has done to this country, my brain keeps snagging on the hideous mess he’s made of the Oval Office, and the White House in general. It’s SO awful—tearing down the East Wing; the “Walk of Fame”; the gold tchotchkes everywhere—I just can’t get over it.

@mctelevision.bsky.social When people talk about Miyazaki’s “best” film, we hear about Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Turtoro, Spirited Away, etc. But in our house it was always Kiki that held sway, that rare film that has no villain and focuses on a girl. It’s my favorite. tinyurl.com/te97ev6h

Your magical burnout cure is in this Miyazaki film"Kiki's Delivery Service" is a family movie that holds practical magic for adulthoodtinyurl.com

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social here’s what I wished you had asked Kaitlan Collins: - Why did you go at all? - Why did you stay?

@seanferrick.bsky.social Rewatching Season 1, and I have to say: I wish they’d kept Hemmer a couple more seasons. I love Carol Kane; I like the new Scotty; but Hemmer was great.

Not quite sure what to say about this.

I'm fairly certain that on the right, an Army officer is carrying the nuclear football in a briefcase for Trump, but I am POSITIVE that on the left, Natalie Harp is carrying his diaper bag. Change my mind.

Just berated by a bot for “inappropriate language”. In response I told it to bite me, which it did *not* understand. Look giant companies: I already despise dealing w/ bots whose sole purpose is to steer me away from real humans so you can do more layoffs; don’t presume to teach me etiquette.

Oh god, *please* no. She lost the primary to Biden. She lost the Presidential election to Trump. Please no. California governor instead, maybe. But no. Just: No.

As she lays the groundwork for a campaign, Harris again risks a trap of her own making.
