[hungriestheidi]

what is an f1, i only know f1 academy baby

I think f1 is like f1 academy but for geratric men??? not totally sure though, it seems kind of new

as far as i'm aware, it's an initiative to bring more men into the sport, i think?

idk why they would do that, they should integrate with the girls! idc if you didn't have the same opportunities as they did, you should compete with women otherwise it's a pointless 🙄

MOVIE REVIEW - Leo (2023)

Listen, I love how much I love this stupid little movie. It was a Saturday night and we'd just finished an exhausting anticlimatic thriller with violence and guns. On a whim, slightly imbibed, we put this silly film on and a we were in store for an absolute delight.

Netflix brings us yet another film with Adam Sandler, who has made a variety of comedic endeavors, ranging from the eyebrow-raising to the unexpectedly delightful. Sandler returns to the streaming platform with LEO, a school-based film that sees him trading in his usual dad jokes for the voice of a 74-year-old lizard.

In LEO, Sandler lends his voice to the titular character, an aging lizard experiencing a mid-life crisis of sorts within the confines of a school terrarium. Teaming up with his grumpy turtle companion, voiced by the one and only Bill Burr, LEO embarks on a quest for escape that ends up with him becoming an accidental therapist for a group of eccentric students.

Sandler's voice acting as LEO is a highlight, with his portrayal of a geratric, aging lizard adding depth to the his journey. Coupled with Burr's performance as Squirtle, the duo delivers plenty of laughs as something of a pair of care home grandfathers fed up with modern socitey and strife.

LEO offers a quirky narrative enriched by its talking reptilian protagonist. As LEO counsels each student through their unique challenges, the film actually steers clear of Sandler's trademark toilet humour and crass jokes, opting instead for heartfelt moments and surprisingly insightful dialogue - which may explain why I enjoyed it so much.

While LEO stumbles with its musical numbers - which are often quite poor and the introduction of a shoe-horned in villain, its overarching message is of the importance of sharing your feelings and to love yourself. Although far from a cinematic masterpiece, the film's bright animation, endearing characters, and goofy charm make it a pleasant watch for audiences young and old.

We were absolutely roaring with some of the visual humour which borderlines slapstick but it's genuinely amusing, one scene questions whether one of the reptillian characters had met their doom, with genuine concern and panic, to only have the expectaction subverted.

One of the funniest music numbers ends with Sandler's surly lizard singing a song to a child advising her not to cry, as crying is a sign of weakness, laziness, and stupidity. It's a pathetic cheap laugh but the utter absurdity of it - a singing lizard subverting the typical Disney-fied musical hallmark moment, of finding ones strength - it shoos that away with this lizard just decimating this kids self-esteem...

Despite its occasional lapses into cheesiness and a somewhat drawn-out runtime, LEO remains an enjoyable offering from Sandler's Netflix repertoire. With its blend of humour, heart, and a touch of contemplation, LEO is a testament to Sandler's ability to entertain, yeah so it was all good in my opinion, cheers.

If I were 75 I'd demand Facebook answer before Congress as to why I googled semiconductor unions and then was fired a week later.

being in the older bracket of my class (at a totally elderly geratric 23 cus ems is like that) and seeing ppl fresh out of highschool is like. my god 18 is so not an adult you are all still so fresh. it’s funny because young alumni medics sometimes come to assist teach and they’re not old at all (late 20s) but the difference between them and the students is as obvious as it was in grade school. idk why it shocks me so much every time I see it they’re all so squeaky

remember my name

Geralt always listens to the radio while he drives to work. Even if he doesn’t enjoy the talking, he was always drawn to music for some reason. On his own, he has absolutely no talent but there’s this one singer that he always listens to.

He doesn’t exactly look the man up online, he’s not a fanboy, but each time he comes up in the radio Geralt turns the volume up. He even knows some words by memory, not that anyone’s aware of that. He has a reputation to uphold.

There’s just something about the man’s voice, something that draws him in. Sometimes, when he can’t sleep, he finds the right song and listens to it until he falls asleep. It’s embarrassing but that singer… Geralt just can’t get over it.

That’s why when the radio presenter announces a new single by Jaskier the Bard, Geralt smiles widely and cranks the volume up.

When the song comes, however, there’s a weird feeling in his chest.

Jaskier sings about a man with white hair and golden eyes and his faithful companion and long travels and loneliness… There’s something powerful and familiar in that, something that makes Geralt’s heart hurt.

He’s not sure why does this song hit so deeply but he both hates and loves it. Apparently, it’s a new piece from his new album and Geralt immediately memorises the name of the album, promising himself to buy and listen to it later.

The whole day the song stays in his mind. The singer’s smooth, soft voice and the emotions in the words are almost too much and Geralt can almost see what he’s describing. He can almost smell the taverns Jaskier mentions, the forests, the monsters, the loneliness

Geralt takes a small detour on the way home and buys the album, titled “Memories From Another Time”. Even the title makes his heart race and Geratr speeds on his way to the apartment, eager to sit down and listen.

His dog, Roach, welcomes him as happy as ever, but for once Geralt just pats her on the head and starts the album.

He spends the whole time it plays sitting down and listening. He can’t force himself to do any work or even cook himself dinner, caught in the spell of Jaskier’s music. It’s an album about monsters and heroes but also heartbreak, loyalty and betrayal, loneliness while surrounded by people. It tugs at Geralt’s hear and leaves him breathless and he has a feeling it’s not the first time this Jaskier caught him in his musical trap.

When the last song ends, Geralt is almost disappointed. It’s a long album with many sings, each better than the last but he still wants more. There’s still something missing.

Just when he’s about to take the CD out, one last song comes up.

“Thanks for being here ‘till the end,” Jaskier’s voice suddenly fills the silence, making Geralt almost jump in his spot. “This one isn’t a song, it’s just instrumental because for the life of me I couldn’t figure out the lyrics. Enjoy a piano piece of me trying to pour my very soul out at the world.”

After that, there’s a bit of silence and the piano starts.

The very first notes make something surge up in Geralt’s chest. He knows those notes, he knows this song. It’s slower than it should be, more nostalgic, more subtle but he knows it, intimately, as if he spent years listening to it every day.

It makes no sense but Geralt just feels right at home listening to the piano. He can hear where the words are supposed to be but the lack of them is not jarring. It’s like a new version of the same song, of a song he knows well and can’t remember at all. He feels good listening to it, feeling stupidly as if it’s about him, even though they never met.

Jaskier has no idea who Geralt is, and here he is, feeling like he made a whole song about him. Ridiculous.

As ridiculous as it is, the damn piano stays with him the whole next day while he goes to the zoo and takes care of the animals, crooning at the horses and silently watching the wolves. It’s soothing to stay with animals instead of humans, but Geralt, unfortunately, needs to go to see Yen and she’s waiting for him in the middle of the visitor clusterfuck outside.

Geralt heaves a sigh and leaves, making sure to look as grumpy and intimidating as possible.

He’s nearing the meeting spot when someone catches his attention.

It’s a young man in bright clothes, acoustic guitar in his hands sitting on the grass surrounded by kids. Geralt, for some reason, stops to listen.

“Sing us something, please Mister?” one kid asks and the man damn near melts.

“Well, how can I refuse such a wonderful little lady?” the guy replies with a laugh, his bright blue eyes visible even from a distance.

Geralt has no idea what’s tugging him towards this weird colourful man, but damn, he can’t stop. Finally, he’s pretty close to the small group and when the man raises his head and their eyes meet, the world stops.

The man’s eyes widen and Geralt feels his own heartbeat stop, shocked for some reason. His head is a mess of thoughts, the most prominent being,

“You’re beautiful.”

He doesn’t realize he spoke that out loud until the man smiles brightly at him. It’s a familiar smile, warm and bright and soft and Geralt wants to see it every day for the rest of his life.

“I have a new song for you,” the man says turning to the kids abruptly, severing their connection, leaving Geralt stunned. “It’s about a very special man that means very much to me, okay?”

“Okay!” the kids almost yell, making the man laugh.

He falls silent for a second before playing the first cord and,

“When a humble bard

Graced a ride along 

With Geralt of Riva

Along came this song”

All Geralt can do is stare as the man, as Jaskier, sings about him. About them, so many years ago, in a different word with different people and species and magic and it’s too much. He stays in his place, reeling from the overload, stunned and surprised and elated.

Somehow, by some miracle, maybe that damned Destiny, they found each other again. 

When he comes by, the kids are gone and Jaskier is standing in front of him, a guitar on his back, his eyes a familiar blue. It takes a few seconds and then they’re crashing together, arms desperate as they clutch at each other.

Geralt shoves his face into Jaskier’s neck and inhales. Even though he doesn’t have the Witcher’s nose anymore, he can still smell that damned chamomile and home. 

Jaskier is trembling slightly in his arms so Geralt hugs him tighter.

“I’m sorry,” he rasps against Jaskier’s skin.

“It’s fine,” comes the wet reply.

He doesn’t care that they’re standing in the middle of a busy zoo, hugging for everyone to see. All he cares about is the man in his arms, his bard, his everything.

They don’t part for long minutes and when they do, they just smile in silence. Then, Jaskier’s eyes flicker to Geralt’s lips, Geralt’s breathing catches in his throat and they’re kissing, once again getting lost in each other.

He can’t remember a more glorious feeling. It’s as if everything is right for the first time in his life, maybe in both of his lives.

“That song,” Geralt mutters suddenly, breaking the kiss. “That piano song, it was you.”

Jaskier laughs and nods, more brilliant than the Sun itself. “Of course. I could never get you out of my head, Witcher.”

“A good thing too, bard.”

They kiss and kiss and kiss and the whole world can go fuck itself for a few moments, as far as Geralt’s concerned. They deserve this.

I am getting old - I have no longer know where to find illeagle downloads.

I don’t want to give John Bolton any money - but I want to see what the fuss is about. (And the library has chosen not to buy a copy.)

[lonestarbabe]

owen just barely went into remission for lung cancer and his job is running into fires and smoke and he has no communication skills with his existing child or ex wife who’s pregnant and has life in another state also isn’t she wife like 1/3 so it’s a pattern idk i just think aside from age there was a lot they didn’t consider like great if you want to take the physical risk of geratric pregnancy go for it they weighed those risks but they definitely should’ve weighed the other risks concerns just as much

Yeah the he could get sick argument isn’t one that makes me think he shouldn’t have a baby because no one has a way of knowing what will happen to their health in the future (but I still think it’s soemthing to consider). But yeah the communication issues are my main problem because we’ve seen them repeating history and making the same mistakes and with the distance thing and then just starting back up together... that’s a lot of pressure

The next generation discovers Blaine hair meta.

Okay, so hear me out. I’ve been thinking a lot about Blaine’s hair evolution throughout the show. 

So we still have the loosely gelled little floof just barely containing those luscious curls in Season 2. 

Still not too bad, but starting definitely more gel being used in Season 3. He’s just transferred to McKinley after leaving his safe place at Dalton. 

Here’s where I’m starting to get to my point.  After the breakup it just gets progressively more and more out of hand with the gel and idk I can’t help but think that maybe as Blaine is starting to lose control of everything else around him he just tries harder to take back any of that control and it starts with something as small as gelling his hair?

Okay this one is before the breakup, but he was starting to spiral out of control with Kurt being gone and started trying to distract himself with all these clubs but I feel season 4 is some of the worst Blaine hair we see cause it’s literally just a gel helmet (lol Blaine is on the bottom scene tho) 

To be fair I still am working my way through season 5 and 6 currently so I’m just gonna put future Klaine as the last one here and feel free to add to this if you agree/disagree with me at all but LOOK AT THE FLUFF cause they’re happily married and everything is wonderful and right with the world and alsihdjlkasjdaskd

Anyways, thanks for coming to my Blaine talk.

Don Campbell has for four years been videoing several of us older Bend, Oregon eighty-year-olds, to make some sort of documentary of aging. I am one of the subject/victims and with many hours in the can of our unprepared and more or less spontaneous remarks he could edit that material into comedy or tragedy or ecstasy or nonsense. Our conversation yesterday followed a rather heartfelt “Human…
