in all the (appropriate) memorializing of Shelley Duvall as a performer in the work of male auteur directors, spare a thought for her own auteur work: Faerie Tale Theatre was one of the few actually good media products aimed at children in the 1980s, but because it didn't sell toys it's forgotten

I hate when puns are used to attack people. Puns should be happy, not duel meaning

If you can manage it, please don’t order online from the LCBO as that is crossing the picket line. #solidarity

Congratulations Doug Ford on the first strike in LCBO history. But we all know this is about union busting and giving your rich buddies more money by privatizing the LCBO. Weston needs a second castle baby!!! Also the amount of ding dongs who don’t understand the revenue LCBO brings in ugh 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

this is a mini-rant so I apologize upfront. I decided to try a produce delivery company to be delivered on one of the days I work from home. Part of their deal is that you return the previous week's bin at the next delivery. They must deliver to a lot houses or places with porches, though...(cont)

There may be some new fans or detractors for certain LOST characters so let me put on the record that I was a Sawyer girlie from day fucking one. I think one of my first ever laptop-saved images is the cage kiss.

some of my favourite Toronto tweeters have not made the jump over here (in a regular way) and it’s a mild bummer

The greatest contribution to Scottish poetry since Address to a Haggis.

Periodically, I like to reread my favorite Scottish poem: Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence.

And they announced, less than ten minutes before its scheduled departure time, that it would be at least half an hour late.

Hi @theglobeandmail.com, this is a misleading and confusing post/headline. The person who has passed away is filmmaker Érik Canuel. Perhaps his name could be in the post?

Versatile Quebec director made the hit film Bon Cop, Bad Cop: Patrick Huard, who came up with the idea for the movie, wrote the script and starred in it, insisted on him as the director because of his skill, sensitivity and sense of humour

Threads is weird, example 247: Of course burrata is for sharing, sometimes with oneself. But also, who is calling this queen of cheeses a “blob”?

As a Gen-xer this is...there really aren't words. The AIDS crisis defined my generation in many ways, a plague no one cared about until it affected straight people. The lives that were lost, it's not an exaggeration that we lost more than a generation of art and activism.

I guess I’ve become sort of a science-hype debunker so as far as this goes, let me just say: it’s real. Really really real. You could soon get a shot every six months that would basically eliminate your chance of getting HIV. Taken a step further: we have the tools to eliminate HIV in our lifetime.

People, and I mean this: STOP MAKING POTATO SALAD WITH CRUNCHY, UNDERCOOKED POTATOES.

I am trying that thing where you don’t close your apps (because it’s easier on the battery??) and gosh is it hard to not do that. My thumb is really wants to swipe up.

I see that the Foo Fighters just kicked off their UK tour, so it's time to drag out my "Why I Hate Dave Grohl" thread. TL;DR: The Foo Fighters funded AIDS denialist groups from 1999-2007 that lobbied to deny people life-saving medication. They have never acknowledged the deaths they caused.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
