The only reason there are so many gays in hell right now is because they're all lining up to pie Anita Bryant.

The way that weather and seasons have permanently changed within 1 lifetime. I literally remember colder falls and winters as a child. It's a commonly accepted fact also every person I talk to acknowledges it, even if they're small town conservative.

I went to a high school performance of Hadestown this weekend (it was fantastic btw, so polished and professional and all the actors, pit, and tech did a marvelous job). The audience was great too, full of applause and enthusiasm after every song. But one of my favorite moments was at the end, when Orpheus turned around. You could hear audible gasps from the audience, and then there was perfect silence for a full minute while the actors transitioned to Road to Hell (Reprise). No scattered applause as sometimes happens when a song ends and the next scene doesn’t immediately begin. No murmurs or whispers. Just silence. And Hermes’ actress milked that silence for all it was worth. She had total control of that silence. It was glorious. I’m sure many people in that auditorium— parents, teachers, supportive community members— showed up that night, not knowing the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. My mother-in-law certainly didn’t, sitting just a few seats down from me. And that collective gasp, followed by heavy silence is exactly what it’s all about. That’s the whole point— it’s a sad song. It’s a sad tale, it’s a tragedy. But we sing it anyway.

Today I learned that Van Halen have that rider in their contract about “a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed” in order to know at a glance if the promoter read the entire contract.  And the reason they do THAT is because they once had a stage collapse because a promoter hadn’t read the proper way to set up all the specific technical stuff.

So if the band goes in the dressing room or catering and sees brown M&Ms, they know they have to double-check the stage setup for safety.

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

an interview with the mayor of LA was aired where a journalist asks “do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? do you regret cutting the fire department's budget?”

and someone is enraged the mayor is being asked this question they’re like “omg how dare you ask this!! this woman is clearly shaken up!! give her time!!” like… that’s what happens when you’re in a political position of power and you make fuck ass decisions like that and it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to ask this shit especially when you cut the LAFD budget to give more money to cops

Other people have said this better but Trump is yet again going to inherit an economy that Dems have spent the last four years building and helping to flourish and he's going to yet again be given credit for it while he drives it into the fucking ground just in time for it to crash and burn the moment he leaves office. I am going fucking insane.

Some people say that there are no stupid questions, which is blatantly false. Of course there are stupid questions, and if you have one, you had better ask it, before you go and do make a stupider mistake. Stupid questions are more important than intelligent ones. I’m willing to bet more people die because of stupid mistakes than because of intelligent ones.
