Over christmas, there was a live stream of him painting in the vain of Ross... it was glorious.

The best part of RENT as a kid was the love stories and aspiring to that boho life.  The best part as an adult is the empathy and care given to those living through the AIDS crisis (not the leads who are mostly vapid narcissists but the support group folks)

As it should! His responses to Hughley’s bullshit are just perfect!

Not going to lie, listening to Rent again yesterday brought me right back to being a teenager in the late 90s again...I couldn’t help but have fondness for it.

Thanks. It’s so easy to shit on it now and forget how much it meant to outsider kids in the 90s. Life-changing and powerful. Yeah, not so deep and a lot of clichés, but counterpoint: it’s a musical. 

A lot of people’s critiques about how unrealistic it is don’t remember or don’t know NYC in the 90s. It was a rough place. AIDS was a major issue in the city. Alphabet City was completely different than it is now. And yeah, there were squatters in shitty buildings. NYC had an edge back then, even Manhattan. It wasn’t…

That fire drill is the funniest 5 minutes ever recorded, in any medium.

Psst. Hey, everyone. It’s okay to like Rent. I know, I know, a lot of folks crap on nowadays. But, maybe like me, you grew up in the 90's and lived in the margins with the wierdos and outcasts. Or, maybe you were LGBTQ than and having something so mainstream celebrating your identity back than was thrilling. Maybe you…

And let’s not forget that Maureen is just really really terrible as a person. I really only like Angel, Collins and Benny. Roger is OK but needs to stop whining and get a real job. 

Watching Rent as an adult is kind of like watching The Little Mermaid as an adult. I still find it enjoyable, because I love the songs, but mostly I’m just questioning why people thought they could get away with not paying rent in NYC, and feeling kind of bad for Benny the whole time. Yea, I know he made an agreement…

A friend of mine had to (unplanned) deliver his children at home and seriously credits Call the Midwife as the reason he could remain calm and had any idea what to do!

It is my favorite episode.

“So it wasn’t Dwight after all, looks like I am the killer. You never expect yourself to be the killer. It’s a great twist. Great twist.”

no, this is accurate

One of my co-workers keeps saying this - she has a metal, reusable straw at her desk, and is very keen to actually try the move out.

I learned my technique from MASH, which is why I always keep a Bic pen and Tom Mix pocket knife handy.

I remember seeing a guy who’s spleen ruptured while he was at a bar; the EMT’s were 45 minutes away, so he performed an emergency splenectomy on himself with a pocket knife and a hollowed-out BIC pen. Apparently he’d learned it from watching TV, and the paramedics said he would have died in 3 or 4 minutes had he not…

This episode start with the Dwight Fire Drill cold open which makes it the best TV episode in history. Perhaps you have a differing opinion. 

Can’t wait to do a tracheotomy with a novelty bendy straw.

I’ve watched and rewatched enough “Call the Midwife” to deliver a baby (including breach), so this checks out.
