I always wondered if they really saved money driving to Redondo Beach in Little Miss Sunshine. So I did the math. 1000 miles at 18 miles per gallon =$180 2 nights 3 rooms $45 per= $270 6 people, 6 meals $4 each = ~$150 Total $600 2 plane tickets = ~$600 1 night $45 Total to fly = $645 🎬 #film

Titles changed last week from Sr. Principal to Lead Principal with a new level added below us for Sr. Principal. I am the only woman on the team. Wanna guess who didn't have her title updated and now has to open an HR ticket? But it's definitely not sexism right? That doesn't exist anymore RIGHT?!

Hot take. Scream 7 is one of the top 3 in the franchise. Absolutely nailed the vibes of the original. My only criticism is worth 1 of the Ghostface's. Yes... Only 1. #film

Frankenstein is a cgi nightmare. Basically marvel slop. How did this made-for-tv garbage get nominated for awards next to Sinners and Marty Supreme?

Flying home yesterday my carryon bag got pulled for search. It wasn't due to the very heavy and very real metal gauntlets as you might expect. Nope. Pulled due to a deck of tarot cards.

How do I professionally say I hired you to fix this problem for me. 3 months ago you didn't listen when I told you all of the pitfalls. I don't have time or the inclination to fix this for you now.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

At what age do grandparents forget what having kids is like. Mom plans a 5 day trip to go visit my young nephews. It's from Sunday to Thursday. All of a sudden she doesn't understand why they can't just... Not go to school that week.

It's finally time!!! The cucumbers are horrible this year. The beans are late but the tomatoes, peppers and squash have finally come in! #gardening 🌱🍅

Artist friends I need your help! I bought this to mount outside. How would you make his eyes glow red? Note, I can plug him in through the mount on his next. Current options are a lightbulb just hung inside, or red LED's string lights wrapped around the outline of his eyes inside. #blucifer #art

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Incredibly chaotic scene Los Angeles as LAPD is pushing forward a skirmish line and violently arresting anti-ICE protesters. You can also hear me grunt when police shoot me in the abdomen with some kind of projectile.

All the complaining that Blue sky is a liberal bubble is nonsense. I'm aware it's a bubble. I come here specifically because it is. I don't need to be bombarded with right wing talking points everywhere I go.

Of all the absurd things to purchase a hard copy of Megalopolis has to top that list! Who wants to come be my Adam Driver and talk at the screen? 🎥🎬 #film

Watched the Brutalist last night finally and it's been haunting me all day. So much I need to watch it again immediately. Adrian Brody is spectacular. The soundtrack and cinematography powerful anc shocking. Some of the plot was clunky but overall I'm astounded. #filmsky 🎬🎥
