@TheCinesthetic First Reformed Kung Fu Hustle Under the Skin Zone of Interest

A movie that's in your top 25 list but unlikely to be in anyone else's?

@davidcinema Yeah this is prob it.

What is the most visually stunning movie you've ever seen?

@NiallHarbison Her transformation is profound! She’s a grand dog.

Never get bored of looking at lovely Sienna’s progress. 3 weeks ago she came in. Her fur coming in strong now and she loves humans. Her favorite is Jam here in the pic. ❤️

@NiallHarbison Very excited to see where’s this little sweetie lands.

I told Stormzy he has over 200 applications for a forever home. He says he has no idea what an application is but let’s just enjoy being alive. Happy Friday everybody 🥰🥳

@EthanOfKrypton Ha! That’s the fanfic ending. Niche audience.

Christ if they do *that* ending I think this could go down as the worst ending for a tv show ever the implications are very funny

@Ollie_Film @BilgeEbiri I had NO IDEA! Her talent runs deep.

@BilgeEbiri You have to watch her Sinead O’Connor tribute youtu.be/8fbc9DV1Pws?si…

Time for some folks to be reminded that Jessie Buckley is an acclaimed singer.

@TheOscarRace Performances that rankled: C. Diaz was outclassed by the other actors. Her performance was clown pastiche. Pitt’s performance was made up of tics & weird mannerisms. Meant to convey coke addiction, who knows? Distracting. Ridley imbued no heart & little depth.

The script for The Counselor was written by novelist Cormac McCarthy — his first original script for cinema in over 35 years. Ridley Scott said its dialogue was the best he’d ever read, but admitted the film flopped for being too dark for most audiences.

What actor or actress is never the lead but always great?

@AdvancedTweaker I’m in relatively balmy BC & so far & for foreseeable, I’m having a coffee & snack outside for lunch in the covered section of a coffee shop patio. I eat & massively hydrate in the morning & either tough it out or sit outside. No way am I breaking that seal until I’m outside.

Husband likely going back to the office 2x/week. Won't eat outside because there's nowhere to sit and it's cold. HEPA (AirFanta 4Lite) at the desk indoors is still not enough exposure reduction. WWYD?

@mryoung151 Wish my cardiologist was wearing a mask when I last saw her. How so smart & so not?

Cardiologist visit today. No entry without a mask for patients. All staff masking. Cardiologist said she is seeing heart attacks in much younger women. Cövid kills and disables. It is in the air.

@Biff234523 Is this a similar timeline for MRNA vax which is all that’s available in Canada? Mum recovering from covid now so wondering how long until she can get vaxxed once no longer symptomatic.

I always get this question a lot, when Novavax inevitably rolls out right after a significant summer wave: To be clear, as long as you’re feeling okay without any acute illness symptoms, you can get your Novavax booster as soon as you want following a COVID infection (or any viral illness). There’s no inherent need to wait. It’s actually a good thing for you to get it sooner, since we know that Novavax is beneficial for helping your immune system fight the persistent virus that is left behind by an infection. For some reason, it’s become popular in the COVID-conscious community to parrot government recommendations of waiting anywhere from 3 and 6 months following an infection. I have absolutely no idea why folks feel compelled to do that, but it’s no different from the original herd immunity and “vax & relax” strategies. Those recommendations only begin to make any sort of sense if you have an assumption of robust infection-induced immunity that simply doesn’t match up with reality. And they were aimed at providing people with as much convenience as they could possibly muster. And like I said, they also require the assumption that viral persistence isn’t an issue (which is wrong) or that Novavax isn’t likely to provide any benefits in fighting it (which is wrong). If you’re getting Novavax following a dose of mRNA, then there’s a recommendation to wait for 2 months. Which is based on CDC eligibility guidelines, and also avoids elevating the extremely small myocarditis risk above baseline.

@ATR3lDES People hate on this?! Whaaaat? Um no. That’s the scene to just rewind & replay on repeat. It’s magnificent. Some people just can’t appreciate nice things.

forever convinced that people that hate on this scene just wanna be different

@Jixylady @singingsox Yeah that sucks. Now waiting for rumored return to Canada in spring. The MRNA just floors me for several days.

@slish @singingsox And then to add insult to injury, Health Canada gaslighting every one saying there was little to no interest in Novavax when anyone who tried to get one was thwarted at every turn from doing so.

Getting Novavax at CVS and the pharmacist gave us a disclaimer saying “are you aware that it’s not an mRNA vaccine and that it is less effective against COVID?” & we both went “that’s not true” & the pharmacist snapped back “yes it is, I read the literature… the package insert”

@Jixylady @singingsox Holy crap that’s nasty! I didn’t have to deal with that much pushback. Well done you for holding your ground!

@slish @singingsox You nailed it. Took a lot of soft pressure 4 even the 1st shot. Pharmacist refused. I had to argue my case & then when that failed I got the provincial health line to give them a call to tell them I was eligible. I was still lectured but held my tongue. Just trying to stay alive.

@Jixylady @singingsox That was my experience first time too. As I had hunted down only pharma offering it close enough to take my elderly mobility limited dad I held my tongue. Found a much better pharma & pharmacist for the next three. So much tip toeing around the gaslighting just to survive.

@slish @singingsox Same here. I managed to get Novavax 4 times & I held my tongue each time & didn’t impart any of the superior data because there was only one pharmacy in town that carried Novavax & both pharmacists wanted to lord availability over me while lecturing & admonishing me 4 my choice.

@CaryRozar @LibertyLockPod I wish I had done this

@LibertyLockPod Record his voice if you don't have recordings already. In time you will realize how much you miss his voice. When I realized I can no longer remember exactly how my parents sounded, it made me deeply sad. I have nothing recorded and would give a lot to have something.

I don't post much personal stuff but I'll make an exception on this My Dad is stage 4. Came out of nowhere, moved like lightning. Went from healthy 2 months ago to nearly gone today. Life is short. Cherish it. Ok, here's the novel parts. I've never really prayed before. Aside from like getting ready for takeoff and trying to calm down lol I've been so overwhelmed that for the first time I'm really praying. Like my whole being is praying. I kid you not. With zero exaggeration. Every time I've done it for the past week I get whole body chills. As I type it it is happening again. It feels like I'm connected and acting in pure selflessness and therefore it is like I'm sending electricity into the air. It is really special. Not sure what to make of it. Also, my Dad fought me for 15 days on going to the hospital. Only yesterday did I finally get him to go. I'll spare you the laundry list of issues and just say that the doctors told me that had he not gone he would've died last night. So anyways, I saved my Dad's life. Not for long most likely but I could have weeks or even months left if I get lucky. I'm so deeply grateful I've now gotten to express how special he is to me. The pain is immense but it is only reflective of the love I feel. If anyone has lost a parent and has advice I would appreciate it. I feel like I'm handling it all as well as I can, spending time with him daily, but I'm sure I'll still get rocked when it finally happens. Any prayers or tips you can send my way, thanks in advance.

@Todd_Spence Ginger Elvis held it together where I would NOT!

In 2006 Will Ferrell surprised the SNL audience when he joined musical guest Queens of the Stone Age as his "Cowbell" character from six years earlier. When lead singer Josh Homme kept laughing during rehearsal, he was told to try to think of Will as a serious musician so he wouldn't break 😂
