crazy how much memory is connected to your sense of smell. anyway the fairfax branch library uses the same soap as my summer camp and now i’m weepy
would he negotiate with himself to get floyd a better deal? i think not!
30 Rock asks the important question "What if Carrie and Big were really good work friends, instead of lovers?" and satisfyingly relocates Big/Jack's withholding to the world of business (he never REALLY gives Liz the mentorship he offers Floyd, for example)
“david corenswet should do an emily henry romcom” no david corenswet should do a big and flashy golden age broadway musical revival

Kevin Feige says Marvel Studios’ ‘BLADE’ is still in development with Oscar winner Mahershala Ali still attached to star. The film will be set in a modern-day setting: “We didn’t want to put a leather outfit on him and have him start killing vampires.” (deadline.com/2025/07/marvel…)
“car crash marriage” just say abusive jack this is taking forever
When the director told Johnny Depp his co-star Amber Heard had just arrived on set with her 'wife', he replied: 'No leading lady of mine stays gay for long' - a new book lifts the lid on the couple's car crash marriage trib.al/nnUCkrY
They’d kill you for trying to compose and light studio comedies like this today
I mean COME ON!
trump didn’t win because the country shifted right - he won because he promised change while kamala promised more of the same
Shortly after Biden dropped out, Harris led Trump by 3%-4% nationally, before collapsing into a Trump popular vote victory. That the Dem post-mortem wont question how the Harris campaign rapidly blew their lead is ABSURD. It does nobody any good to pretend she couldn’t have won.
alec baldwin getting phantom threaded by a hot fake spainard kinda the only ending he was ever gonna have really
Daylight horror
