It’s being reported now that the information came from Israel. It’s going to take me a while to figure out how to express how bad this is. Because it’s *bad*. “Colossal fuckup” doesn’t even come close.

Go look up Alan Rickman and his political positions. Oh, and Tony Shalhoub. They, uh, differ from those of Tim Allen. They’re really the actors who make that movie for me, and I barely even remember Tim Allen in it anyway.

She looks oddly like Annette O’Toole in that picture. I can’t figure out what it is.

Welp, he *did* take off to somewhere remote in Wyoming, ostensibly to work on his album, but maybe it’s a trial run to see if he personally can hack it in the middle of nowhere prior to a divorce filing and petition for physical custody.

That’s going to be me in the summer, albeit with science fiction and horror shows. I hate the sun and the heat. The heat makes me feel like complete crap, and the sun triggers scintillating scotomas. Such fun.

No, Portland (my hometown), but I did live in Seattle for most of the ‘90s and ‘00s, so I know the weather is pretty much the same as far as that goes in both places! Except right now I think Portland might be getting more rain than Seattle because we’re gearing up for the Rose Festival, which just isn’t the Rose…

I saw someone on Reddit who made a hailman. Yes, that *is* in fact a snowman made of hail.

Sigh. This was my afternoon:

One of my coworkers gave me her ipsy bag shaped like a ticket! I was super excited because I wanted that bag. And I was only interested in the bag itself, so I didn’t bother trying to subscribe because it wasn’t worth $10 just for the bag. But she gave it to me for free! She also gave me a few of the things she has…

The GenXers will understand: I went to see Evan Dando do an acoustic set in a record store (Tower Records on the Ave in Seattle, as if anyone cares) in probably ‘93. We were waiting semi-patiently, and some random guy with short hair climbed onto the makeshift stage, so the crowd collectively shrugged and started…

I was once on a conference call with live questions where we all learned our very large company was being bought out by another very large company who happened to be our biggest direct competitor. The call ended shortly after one of the people listening to the call unmuted their phone juuust long enough to yell…

Gah (at Netflix, not you), this was my immediate reaction as well. Welp, they apparently couldn’t be bothered to look up the origins of the word and discover it was coined by people who couldn’t be bothered to find out where a particular group of immigrants were actually from, or they did and decided they didn’t care,…

I quite frankly mentally added “LIKE A BIG BOY!” when I read it.

He *had* to have had a dead man’s switch. The next few days are going to be a fascinating rollercoaster of a nightmare with all of the leaks that must be on their way from his sympathizers.

The thing about microwave popcorn is that it’s *really* easy to burn it. Or have it catch on fire. Entire buildings have been evacuated and fire departments called because someone went thirty seconds over on a bag of Pop Secret, and then the stench takes days if not weeks to get rid of. That’s actually where I…

I worked in one office where it officially was. Fish and popcorn: both were banned from the microwave, and people had actually been fired for both before I got there.

Barbapapa! One of my favorite books as a kidlet was Barbapapa’s Ark, where humans had polluted Earth to the point where it was unlivable, so Barbapapa made an ark and took his family and all of the animals from the entire planet into space until the humans literally cleaned up their act. Yes, it was the ‘70s. Why do…

Totally misread as Carole King. Wasn’t even that confused due to a stunning lack of caffeine.

Thank you. This bugs me EVERY SINGLE TIME. At least the Coen brothers get it.

Shh, you’re giving away the stinger at the end setting up the sequel where the humans think they can escape from the island via boat only to discover that there are also terrors lurking in the water!
