When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...
Women In Love (1969). If Oliver Reed wasn’t already dealing with a mocking mother and disappearing newlyweds in the family pond and running his inherited coal mine like Mr Potter from Bedford Falls, then there’s a chance he could have realized happiness was throwing him around the living room.📽️
Folks can keep running away from it, but Matthew 25:31-46 never tires and will inevitably catch up.
are your neighbors well? are you perusing peace? are your hands to the plow of love? are you diligent to the care of the creation? are you careful? thoughtful? considerate? do you give a single damn? These are the questions at the heart of the Gospel

Goes to show that even when an entire hyper-corrupt family wants to make your country fascist again, you don’t have to put up with it.

Sure I’ll jump in and say one of the first things I ever wrote for @weareravenous.com was about how Cheesecake Factory is the actual hottest reservation in New York www.weareravenous.com/new-yorks-ac...
Hell of a thing to say while still wearing an ankle monitor for an embezzlement conviction.

Second Soul-Restoring Recommendation: The Fifth Floor of the MOMA is their 1880 to 1950 collection, an actually overwhelming collecting of Greatest Hits that just kept bringing me face to face with works of art that are ubiquitous through culture, but rarely met.
Third Soul-Restoring Recommendation: The Krasner / Pollock show at @metmuseum.org manages to pull of a perfect balance between both artists while telling their story/stories in a way that feels like a brilliantly constructed biopic. It runs through January, so you have a little more time.
First Soul-Restoring Recommendation: Heartbeat Opera’s Queenie Todd: The Demon Bottom of Fleet Street plays at Judson Memorial through Halloween. It is raunchy, it is hilarious, it is genius. (We took @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social’s parents and they LOVED it as much as we did.)

Mom vibes are not dissimilar to Zelda vibes, actually.
Mass Effect (the whole series) was the best sci-fi movie I’ve ever played.
As a tribute to BioWare (we all know that Mass Effect will return in some form), my long article on the design process for the Normandy is available to everyone.

Imagining a brighter future where the late 2020s are like that period in the early 00s when every movie trailer featured “Solsbury Hill” on this time around it’s “Thoroughfare.”
I did not want to see You Can See Everything (2026). Heard about it and was repelled immediately. What would even be the point? I could not have been more wrong. I can’t recall the last time I set my expectations so incredibly low only to have them exceeded beyond measure.📽️

“Since the incident, the flamingo has been doing all right physically but is more anxious and nervous when being evaluated, said Peachy’s veterinarian, Tiffany Moore, medical director of Lone Mountain Animal Hospital.” Justice for Peachy 🦩
A jury has convicted a Canadian man of animal cruelty charges after the tourist drunkenly snatched a flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at an iconic Las Vegas hotel during a visit in March.

Tbh, @emilyhughes.bsky.social could very well save Mike Flanagan’s life with this (surgically perfect) review. After all, there’s still time for him to back down from mid-adapting Warhammer 40k and thus avoiding a “horrible accident” involving several gallons of miniature paint.
today at @darkertimes.bsky.social: I *also* hated the Carrie miniseries! www.darkertimes.com/hatchet-job-...
