If I owned a detective agency like Maddie Hayes and every week I did detective work that directly led to people being murdered, I would simply stop solving mysteries

This paper from my 3rd grader’s end-of-year stack started quite an editor rant (SAID IS PERFECTLY FINE AND FORCING YOURSELF TO USE OTHER DIALOGUE TAGS CAN BE EXTREMELY DISTRACTING BUT IF YOUR TEACHER SAYS TO DO THIS YOU SHOULD BUT IN REAL LIFE PLEASE JUST USE SAID)

Tried to google who designed the puppets in the new Benedict Cumberbatch Netflix show and google’s AI summary at the top of the results page spoiled the series mystery. Wtf! The internet is OVER

I'm not sure that I'm able to truly communicate with anybody who can listen to "America the Beautiful" without attempting to decode the final wishes of Sam Westing.

I would love a service that made new modern-style trailers for old movies - I’ve been trying to sell my son on so many great films but I show him the trailers and he becomes dead-set against them. (Will he *never* watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit with me? 😭)

I thought this movie was terrific and agree with this take. My son asked me about it & kept wanting to know who we were rooting for, and to truly not have an answer is very effective.

Blackthorne: the idea that we embrace our present rather than strive for an ambitious but unattainable “better” is a glorious one, and yet it is too easy to read it as a refusal to accept inevitable and often necessary change!! Mariko: the Anjin is mad about Bluey

The new season of Girls5eva is so funny and wonderful. Everyone should watch the whole series if you haven’t because if it doesn’t get renewed I WILL throw up!

But…. kids did remote school during the early pandemic. That’s what caused the loss of education!! Why would more remote school help now???

Once we fix the daylight savings thing, I humbly request that we introduce a 13th month. Every month should have 28 days. That’s 364 in a year. Add in a floating leap day (could be any month!) whenever we need it to line up with the sun or the moon or whatever. No work on leap day, of course.

Periodic tv update: we are watching and enjoying A Murder at the end of the World, Slow Horses, Bodies, & Lupin. Also in the past year we’ve watched all of Letterkenny & have a handful more Shoresy eps to go. And we started True Blood for the first time for some reason??? It’s very funny!
