Definitely going to watch Nobody 2021 version. Finally figured out the Lance Armstrong movie is called The Program (2015). It's not high art or "film" in the sense that I want you to see it because it's a good movie, but I thought it did a good job of showing why his actions were wrong and...

Phoebe

Free speech Elon apparently won't let people use the word "cisgender" on Twitter now hahahaaaaaaaaaa what a clown this man is, but people listen to him. There are lots of rich people and they aren't all jerks and morons - maybe branch out and listen to some others, media and peoples? The s...

Phoebe

What kind of excuse is that? Hire someone to replace you and get to watching! It will take me probably min 2 weeks to figure out, with the help of a kid, how to find this movie in the supposedly immediately accessible and vast array of choices available.

Phoebe

Come for me if you want but just know, if u wear a hoodie or park on the street the neighbors will be readying their weaponry and calling 911! If you sit in your car while parked it will be even worse! Be sure to bring unleashed dogs with you.

Phoebe

I cannot subject myself to reading social media from the local area. Cannot, must not. But it bubbles through from time to time and my self-mastery is not great enough to wipe it from my mind. This is the situation: If someone parks a car or puts lawn and garden items on their own driveway for more ...

Phoebe

Is this on HBO? I have some sort of temporary access to HBO. Last I knew HBO you had to wait for something to appear on their schedule, but nowadays apparently you can call things up on command. However, I have no idea how to operate the devices - the remote control, the search menu, none of it. Aft...

Phoebe

Late to the party as usual but LOVVVVVVE this guy's singing, music, band, etc:

Phoebe

Watched an absolutely great documentary about Muhammad Ali on Netflix and for the life of me I cannot figure out which one it is now on the internet!!!!!
But look for one because damn it was so good!

Phoebe

I am basically so bursting with agreement at this I cannot even speak on it further. Yes.

Phoebe

After a break I gathered a little perspective - when all you see is communications from the dark side, it needs to be broken up by some light from elsewhere for a while! Anyway, here are some constructive things I observed during absence from the Constant Fear Narrative: The "buy nothing" ...

Phoebe

One of the recent developments - I'm sure it started years in the past but it has come into a fuller flower over the last year and legislative cycle - is this notion that autistic kids are slightly more likely to be trans or gay and yet shouldn't be allowed to pursue that expression because they're ...

Phoebe

Agree with Kyle. Everything you did up to this point makes perfect sense and was protective of both your kids and the peace in the family. The moral duty to take on bigots and bullies is not the only duty that we have to respond to, even if it's important. Sometimes other things outweigh or you have...

Phoebe

Wishing a good father's day to all you dads and uncles and granddads! Thinking also of those who are mourning their dads and others - I hope today helps us celebrate memories as well.

Phoebe

This is one of the reasons I think Biden should and could run again, because he's too much for the idiots who cover him in the press: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/06/16/biden-god-save-the-queen-man-remark/70332100007/ He says this particular thing all the time to mean "God ...

Phoebe

Also there is a new Rancid album... The radio just gifted me one of them and oh my goodness I have something I need to listen to this evening!!

Phoebe

I have finally read a leisure book instead of all the grim and unleisurely reading I usually find myself doing. It was wonderful! The book is called Philosophy made simple. There is hardly any technical philosophy in the book at all - It's a fictional story about a man trying to change his life. His...

Phoebe

Lollll I get this one all the time!!!! Sometimes it compares each age group to an animal which is always very entertaining.

Phoebe

Still obsessed with Miguel - love how they retrieve an old song like this every so often and the genius is recognized! But then I finally got a song Pete and the rest of you might like, since the kids are listening to this apparently. They like the high vocals, not my thing, but I do like the genera...

Phoebe

Lol a cup! Or if they think your kids are old enough to need one that could be it? My advertising profile apparently is "older African American lady with grown kids". At one point I looked at my Facebook cookies or whatever they call it, and there too I am an older African American woman. ...

Phoebe

Slow West I did not like this movie enough or feel confident enough about the reception it might have among you to put it in the other thread - watch these movies! But it's a movie you might want to watch sometime? I happened to be in the right place at the right time to watch it. The movie stars Mi...

Phoebe

Finally came across the people who are studying the thing I have been wishing for a few years now someone would be studying: https://news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2023/04/four-different-autism-subtypes-identified-in-brain-study I guess they are using machine learning techniques to analyze a data set (...

Phoebe

I am sorry, I will be thinking of you and your family.

Phoebe

Have been watching Community and some of the writing is so, so very good.

Phoebe

Update: Stan Lane the actual wrestler took yet another DNA test which ruled out the possibility of his being Lauren Boebert's father. I think it's really sad he had to do this in order to shut them up. Why is it so important for Boebert and her mother to hide who her real father is? If her mother tr...

Phoebe

Do they all start as red level troubleshooters? I really hope that's how it turns out lol! I don't think we get this type of channel but it sounds intriguing.

Phoebe

The fear and punishment of supposed sexual deviance is a hallmark of fascism, historically. Fascism requires the identification of deviant groups against which the purity of the fascist regime will be demonstrated. We are now at the stage of fascism where people feel completely comfortable asking to...

Phoebe

This is why we should be always open to believing claims of assault, without throwing our critical thinking parts out the window: The woman who penned the fawning love letter to Putin before accusing Biden with a story that made no sense, now wishes to be Russian and has moved there. Shocker. https:...

Phoebe

I don't want to know why they think you want these items. The list I get is not much better. I am asked to live like a billionaire by wearing bright lime green no name brand running shoes, because apparently that's how the billionaires do.

Phoebe

Timothy Hutton is 1000% going to hold up. I can't speak for the rest but I think it's going to hold up.

I will rewatch this if I can figure out where to get it.

Phoebe

Are you the Kyle in the video? I can't get through it - just bits here and there. Jomboy videos are the only thing I can tolerate in this category because his lipreadings are truly hilarious.

Phoebe

That's one of the best things about these jokers, they're so bothered by all the divisiveness. Gone are the happy, carefree days when I could be a jerk and everybody would let it pass or even agree with me! Now they think I'm a bigot when I'm bigoted, and where is the fun in that?! It seems like I'm...

Phoebe

Are you bombarded on a constant daily basis by ads from Temu? Apparently they've decided they can ship cheap Chinese merchandise to the US better than Amazon (or Walmart or Target etc) can, and are trying to break in and seize market share. They'll send you unbelievably low discounts and then you ha...

Phoebe

The mention of recent testing makes me curious: how do the DNA tests know what they purport to know about your ancestors? Do they look for specific markers, and then assign it to a location based on how frequently those markers are found among the population in that area? The other question I have i...

Phoebe

I assumed it was a normal embellishment of the comment, or possibly a reference to owning pig dice? Surely it makes you at least 2% that bitch.

Phoebe

I did not see you but did feel the disturbance in the force, yes!

Phoebe

Is this from the actual Barbie movie? At first my kids wanted me to take them to the Barbie movie and I said, why? I asked the universe why. Now it turns out I'm not good enough to go to the Barbie movie with them. The universe answers.

Phoebe

Dang that is very cool! Looking at the genealogy makes me sad because everywhere you turn is evidence of people with potential brilliance who were squelched by the circumstances of life. Then I arrive with every ability to make use of potential, and instead sit on it like a great egg that should nev...

Phoebe

I don't know if this is a pet peeve or more serious, but it's been a really long time since I had to deal with a garden variety mansplaining sexist dude, who would be the last person on earth to consider himself a sexist, in the workplace. He's very supportive of women, I am sure, as long as they're...

Phoebe

My kid loves the Kendrick version so much. We've been spending so much time with that album - It improves upon repeated listening, luckily, because we're definitely deep into the repeats. In the meantime I am diverted by this:

Phoebe

I didn't see this at the time but Biden staff trolling DeS. and Musk with "this link works", to the Biden donation site, gave me a chuckle.

Phoebe

World is a significantly worse place now.

Phoebe

Ah, Is this one of those 23andMe type tests? Is there a good one for determining ethnicity? I have been holding off on it because the questions I'm curious about weren't answerable with earlier versions. But I haven't kept up with what is possible or accurate in the latest versions. I had seen some ...

This is kind of tangentially related, but if you'd like to see the evidence of community destruction in action, the social media stuff that brings people together with others in their neighborhood is the worst of the worst. The most depraved discussions are happening in the neighborhood group chat o...

Phoebe

I like the look of the city one. A while back my favorite game was purchased in a hostile takeover (really - it was purchased by one of those shitty casino game companies, which immediately destroyed it) and the replacement game I found for it is also defunct (they stopped supporting it, no new mate...

Phoebe

OK that sells me on it because it's also cheap. But do I want the GIANT PIG dice or the set of four pair?

Phoebe

The people love it; I have never played a Zelda. I witness them occasionally but don't like all the running about. I'm a simpler creature, simpler games.

Phoebe

That's the bar now!

Phoebe

The word "recently" inspires curiosity but also not my business.

Phoebe

Godspeed, Tim Scott, the only Republican in this race for whom I could vote. I don't know whether you're running for vice president or whether you have a shot if the people decide the other ones are unelectable, but a strong showing would put the whole Republican party back on a closer track to norm...
