I actually think it’d be weird to have the little girl be Belle if her dad or brother would then be Beast. Now, Dad could be Maurice and mom could be Mrs Potts if the daughter were Belle - but then that leaves her brother as weird side character
When families do a group costume, whether the mom makes herself or the little girl the princess tells you everything you need to know

Local Adult With Many Interests And Obligations Is Prolly Actually Kinda Slouchy In One Of Those Interests (Like most things this is fine if you’re not a jerk about it)
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently? I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire. They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos. I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

A state law that says that schools can only have one spirit day a year, and all art projects must be completed on school grounds.

Love the For You feed. Alarming mutuals by replying to shit they said yesterday, becoming an annoyance to strangers. It’s so fun

The best way of describing my level of online is that I know what this is but have no idea why it is

I think if you raised the average numeracy of Americans by 25%, the number of small retail businesses would drop by 70%

ICE has detained this mentally ill US citizen in the Miami Detention Center in Indiana (an immigration prison) b/c he's deluded himself into believing he's the son of a Jamaican Prime Minister, even tho he has a Florida birth certificate. ICE really wants to deport him.

I wonder how long it will be before this cadence means ~nothing to most people
people tell me, they say “do not eat” they say you have to throw it away

New: Gov. Greg Abbott must let his political opponent, Gina Hinojosa, review more than 1,000 pages of his unredacted communications with Elon Musk, a Travis County Dem judge rules. Abbott likely to appeal before Hinojosa reviews anything. #txlege news.bloomberglaw.com/litiga…

The discourse inspired by this is so ridiculous it’s actually fun and perfect. Stacy’s mom obviously left Stacy’s grandma or (not-hot) grown up sister in charge while on business trips, duh
In the lyrics to Stacy's Mom, it's implied that Stacy is the same age as the narrator, which is probably somewhere in middle school or early high. But if her dad walked out, and her mom goes on business trips, does this mean a teenage girl is just being left in her house alone?

Just chatted with a conservative-leaning independent in El Paso who voted: Senate: left blank Governor: Abbott U.S. House: Escobar (D) Ticket splitters! They still exist!

Everyone hates the spend down + Medicaid thing but no one seems to have a better alternative (Take Care of Granny At Home doesn’t count bc you can already do that + Pay Me To Take Care Of Granny At Home is mostly worse)
I genuinely don’t understand how ordinary people are supposed to afford assisted living for their aging parents. Some facilities charge upwards of $10,000 A MONTH. That’s $120,000 a year just to make sure your parents are properly cared for. How is the average family supposed to afford that?

It’s honestly pretty great that we live in a country where you can still get old age care regardless of your adult children’s ability or willingness to either quit their jobs and do it themselves or pay full price for it

Earnest take: I think it’s probably not healthy for the practice of democratic self-government that so many people have developed strong rooting interests in elections in countries they don’t live in.

Bad discourse tbh. Bunch of people saying “I like to make a nice lil variety of meals that make my spouse and family happy within our budget and time constraints even tho it’s hard sometimes” and a bunch of others saying “you and they should simply not care”
Why is this such a difficult thing for women? Nearly, every woman I know (except Mom, who still has a rigid schedule for each night) struggles to think dinner. Not actually MAKE dinner, but think of what to make and this is an incredibly stressful thing for them.

No lil Easter eggs or fun new thoughts in here! Very little fun absurdity since “omg leftovers have histamines” was already eaten by door dash discourse. Just hating on people for liking nice effortful things that they actually *do*. 👎👎

The only other thing is that “ugh gotta go figure out dinner” is probably misinterpreted by a lot of people as “ugh gotta go do this oppressive horrible thing” when it’s more like “ugh gotta get off this call here is my reason” or “gotta do my least favorite chore”
