@LargeInStature_ When I was younger my parents would cart all us kids around to various local cemeteries to put flowers on graves. It's one of those things that was pretty boring at the time, but now that I am older I wish I paid more attention to where we went.

Do you all use Memorial Day to remember/honor civilians as well? We've always used it as a day to visit the graves of all our dead loved ones, regardless of whether or not they served. Is that not typical? I'm seeing mixed things.

@FiredUpCoug As someone who has a weird quasi-phobia about looking out of windows at night, this room fills me with dread.

But it makes it really hard to watch TV without glare.

@samdgrant_ @kariwarburton I dunno, maybe Mr. Bird is just bad at expressing his feelings through verse.

@BHaunt @kariwarburton Context matters. Did Ben’s poem seem flirtatious to you?

Ex-mo tries to launch his poetry career by making poems about a married woman was not on my bingo card

@samdgrant_ @kariwarburton

@kariwarburton lol do Mormons think poety is inherently flirtatious? I don’t get why the married thing matters. Anyone care to explain?

@trendsettercase Paraphrasing an observation I saw elsewhere: Holmes closes his eyes before going over the cliff not because he is afraid, but because he wants the last thing he sees to be Watson, not Moriarty.

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, his adaptation of "The Final Problem" by Conan Doyle, is perfect. There are many clever and power elements but most importantly he nailed what Tolkien nailed with Gandalf & The Balrog: the hero lays down his life to remove the ultimate threat to his friends. Greater love has no one than this Holmes and Gandalf both resurrect, leaving their enemies in the grave. It's the Christ archetype and the Christian ethic. It's meant to be embodied by all of us every day. Not "your life for mine" but "my life for yours".

@FiredUpCoug If Geoff's last name isn't Beck, this is clearly a no-go situation. Sorry Geoff

My name is Jeff Beck My business partner's name is also Jeff Beck We are about to interview an artist named Geoff to potentially work with us. We're not jeffin' around here.

@tenryugumi_21 Sir, I needed something like this to lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing with us. Congratulations to your family!

私事で恐縮です。 本日待望の初孫が誕生しジイジになりました🙌

@AlysssaHazel As someone who never found their SO, the 'aborted gf' part of that meme is hitting me way harder than it should.

Over 25% of my generation never got to see their first sunrise.

@KatoIdaho So the problem is that a group of like minded people talked and organized themselves...on a social media website? I feel like I'm missing the conspiracy theory here.

Sure, its natural, not coordinated by a religious group calling themselves Christian. Oh, ok.

@oldstatemark Okay, if you don't like the post of you decrying calling members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Christians on the day one of our buildings got shot-up and burned down...how about the one where you reveal yourself as a flat-earther? x.com/oldstatemark/s…

Wow! The bots are out in full force!! Lies, lies, and more lies!

@planefag I love the movie, but Muldoon and Gennaro are done dirty in it.

Fun fact, in the book he survives. He vanishes in this scene but pops up later. Does not evac on the chopper with the rest - he fights his way off the island alone.

@kodemunkee @SandyofCthulhu I see where you are coming from, but I would argue that "GMK: Giant Monsters All-out Attack" is the best monster mash, in quality if not quantity. Hard to beat zombie Godzilla driven by angry spirits to attack Japan.

@SandyofCthulhu This is why Godzilla: Final Wars is the best Godzilla movie. It had all the monsters. It had a crazy cast of anime-inspired characters. It had that goofy drill-ship-flyamajig that they flew around in. Did any of it make sense? No. But that wasn't the point!

The older I get, the less I differentiate between "good" and "bad" movies, and classify them as "entertaining" or "frustrating". Pacific Rim is a great example of this. From the giant monsters to the hokey dialog to the predictable plotline, it's just comfort food for a man's soul - like an old Western or a 60s monster movie. We know what's coming and anticipate it with joy. In contrast, at least for me The Lobster was a chore to drag through. Not fun at any moment. (I know opinions differ.) What movies are your pleasures? Vs. your annoyances?

@zefraath @aonpei @GamewithDave Command and Conquer: Red Alert

@aonpei @GamewithDave What game is this?

Without telling me your age. What is the first video game you played? GIFS ONLY!!!

@butt_watermelon My first thought was "Saga of the Forgotten Warrior" by @monsterhunter45 , but it might skew too adult given some of your other responses. Maybe "Chronicles of Prydain" by Lloyd Alexander or "The Old Kingdom (Abhorsen)" by Garth Nix?

My teenagers are getting into fantasy but 95% of this crap is gay. They've read all my classics, please send help.

@Strangeland_Elf It literally takes less time to read The Hobbit than it does to watch the movies...which kind of eliminates a major selling point of turning a book into a movie.

Who has to pretend they have read The Hobbit? It’s easier to just read it than to pretend you have read it.

Hey @TheLegalMindset , how is this post from NBC about Kyle Rittenhouse looking defamation wise?

@NBCNews "Opening fire at a civil rights rally" is a strange way of phrasing "shot 3 attackers in self-defense as proven in a court of law."

Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after he was bitten by a venomous spider, the noted firearms enthusiast says. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/g…

@threenotes_jp I grew up on Voltron, which was the westernized version of Beast King GoLion.

海外のみんなへ。 日本のアニメで、 最初に好きになった作品って何でしたか？

@mirotvorets_8 The guy in the green shirt didn't want to hurt the other guy. The guy in the white shirt wanted victory at all costs.

я уверена что несколько веков назад, где-то под крепостями, такие же два долбаеба исполняли такую же хуйню времена меняются, а люди нет
