Anyway someone come back and remind me in 20 years if it turns out I’m a dipshit on this
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
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.
Just got a drive thru protein latte served by a flamboyant young man who was dressed up as a seafood boil welcome to America 🇺🇸 💖

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

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

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!

MAGA accounts these days are like oldies radio stations, playing the hits of yesteryear for the old folks, whose time has passed.
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)

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”
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*. 👎👎
