Just remember, jumping on a bison and yelling “yip yip” will not make it fly. But you will.

@radiodetectives @spreaker Hi Adam! Love the podcast. In this JD episode, the evil Secretary got the fake will in the bank box by putting it in with some stocks and bonds. That is where the niece said she found it. So he actually got HER to unknowingly plant the game will for him! Good episode!

this is not remotely close to being one of nature’s most unnerving birds. Be serious

@FrankConniff Truly you have suffered. (As delightful as Jackey is, and she is very delightful, the movie is still painful.)

The 1960s movie I've seen more than any other is Manos: The Hands of Fate, so if somebody recommends a Latvian arthouse film to me, I'm not gonna to be all like, oh no way man, ain't gonna watch that shit.
the hype@TheHyyyype

contrary to what people on twitter will tell you, watching 1960s latvian arthouse films or whatever doesn't make u a better, smarter or more interesting person. in fact, it usually just means you're extra annoying. watch whatever u like. the fast and the furious is perfectly fine

Lots of amazing talents won #Oscars tonight. But should an industry that once tried to make Russell Brand a movie star really be celebrating itself?

Word of the day is the Dutch ‘uitwaaien’, to head out into the wind as a way of clearing the mind and soul: literally an ‘outblowing’.

@iconawrites Eh, he sounds high maintenance to me. I wouldn’t have time after my long morning walls to be anyone’s amanuensis.

You don’t have to get married. You can also retire alone to a cosy cottage on the English seaside, take long morning walks on the beach, and fall in love with the ghost of a sea captain while transcribing his ribald memoir.
