I’d watch a papillon noire.

Probably refers to “balm of Gilead” (a sort of “universal cure” reference), but it’s gonna bring up images of red-robed reproductive slaves and Christo-fascism for most people.

Listen to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi while singing this song. You’re welcome.

The title just doesn’t care.

In this context, “prostrate” is super confusing.

Clbuttic.

Worse than the monetary theft, he appears to have stolen the identity and likeness of Good Guy Greg.

I mean, it’s not “funny haha” throughout, but it’s great double-edged satire.

It did make me laugh out loud when the punchline showed up at the very end (the title of the short film in Comic Sans).

Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.

Health insurance is a scam. American healthcare is atrocious. Stochastic terrorism is never okay. Don’t you dare claim that it is.

You gotta use colons. Then it’s pretty easy.

Let this be a warning, kids. Tats like this are a gateway. Don’t think that he can hide behind a mask forever. Don’t follow his route.

"Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don’t leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I’m not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it’s not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don’t talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They’re people, and you’re a person too, so you don’t need to overthink it.

You got this! Good luck!

Lawrence of Arabia. The cinematography and score work together to make you feel like the sun is bearing down on you. It isn’t particularly colorful, but it is a true spectacle.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse & Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Gorgeous animation and endlessly creative.

Or some Douglas Adams poetry: Vogon poetry.

They probably did read UK and just went off on a sine or cosine about how bad it would have been with an American lawyer.

Strange things, motorcycles. They can cure depression, but they’re also suicidal.

You should listen to Brian Eno’s Music for Airports if you haven’t already. It’s beautiful calm for when you’re in a chaotic environment.
