throw out enough stuff, and some of it will catch the right person's ear

Me and some good friends are saving up for an egg.

Turns out the secret to a coup is just do it on Friday. The opposition will make strongly worded posts and see what they can do about it on Monday

I feel deep sorrow at the passing of the great David Lynch, and deep gratitude for his life and work. He changed movies. He changed television. He opened the eyes of generations of critics to new possibilities for both. And his two minutes in The Fabelmans will remain a source of joy for me forever.

Rest in peace, David Lynch. Your creations will always have a lasting impact on me.

Dogs are great because they’re basically like 21% Samwise Gamgee, 17% stress ball, 12% Chewbacca, and 50% just happy to be here

This post had a delayed effect on me, and I had to scroll back up to find it and give you my appreciation for your naming strategy.

Couple times a day I say to myself "it doesn't matter, nothing matters" after doing something stupid

every one i know with magic powers is saying something really good or really bad is going to happen within the next 500 years

Two kids are trapped in a darkened hjouse with no windows. One says "damn bro, looks like we got skinamarkinked." The other brother asks "how are we gonna get out of this one?" Suddenly the Kook Aid man bursts through a wall and says "OH YEAH!!!" He extends his hand and says "come with me if you want to live." The brothers seem delighted.

Biggest surprises in the movie "A Complete Unknown" about Bob Dylan:

- several car chases

- when Bob Dylan starts recruiting a team for a heist

- when Bob Dylan keeps asking his girlfriend "how does it feel?"

- when Timothée Chalamet winks to camera and says "I guess I'm just a rolling stone."

ME: who lurks in the shadows of my bedroom?

NOSFERATU: it’s Nosferatu
