This turkey and I were out for a stroll at the same time this morning. Hey only had one friend with them. #Birds

Wow, his voice on the VM is so oily and insincere. Unsurprising. But still.

the costco CEO is a 40-year-veteran of the company who rose from being a forklift driver to the top, the firm has made a public point of defying Trump's racism, and by god they will make sure that the hot dogs have ketchup.

Ooh. One of my favorites, and one I give as a graduation gift.

Loved Light from Uncommon Stars. I work in a bookstore, and it's a staff favorite.

I finally read Toni Morrison's Sula recently. I still think Beloved is the best, and Sula Is right up there.

They had that at the bottom of the Strib sports pages. But that was before the men's hockey win

I went to see it last week in Imax, and I could feel that soundtrack in my spine. Highly recommend.

He got elected because of racism. Lots of people slung accusations of fraud at Fateh. But if you added the votes for Fateh, David and Hampton together, more people voted for Not Frey than for Frey.

As a double Pisces, I endorse this message. Let's fish things up this season.

I have seen it, during a completist phase, and my mind has mercifully deleted all the details. I remember blue light, and a guitar?

A brown and white house sparrow having an earnest conversation with a larger, browner bird (maybe another type of sparrow, or a finch?) who is poking their head and beak in from the right. Sparrow is on a blue wire perch and the red platform is askew because squirrels are jerks. The tree across the street looks wonky, but it's the feeder that's askew.

It's OK to not like it! It's dark and weird! Decidedly not for everybody. But not liking does not equate to not good. Just, not for you so move along. Many of the movie adaptations are, though, objectively bad.

There's a small weird subset who like Wuthering Heights on its merits, like the tale within a tale within a tale, its rock-solid management of complex time, the spooky-ass ghost story, the critique (or not!) of religion, inversion of Pilgrims Progress. Then there are those who misread it as romance.

Over the overdue of helicopters, then and now.
