Erik Inglis(In honor of August, bringing this 🧵 over from twitter) August makes me think of the best summer restaurant I ever ate at. It didn’t have a name, just a tidy hand-painted sign: “Tomato Sandwiches—all you can eat.” #tomatosandwiches
Probably half my paltry feed is “Fuck, FIFA fucking sucks”, but fuck, FIFA really does fucking suck.

I just watched Jurassic Park for the first time yesterday (yes, I know I'm a bit late), and Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern were all shockingly attractive.
Dawnthere is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
Yuck.
