@Maximinalist My local theater had two screenings, one with something like “sing-along event” on the poster, and the other one with “come sing-along” in the info page.

Looks like the first one was a one-time thing though because only the latter’s available now

@damrider11 *me

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@damrider11 $50k would solve 95% of my problems right now and $0 would solve nothing.

I pick the $50k! Plus coin flips never work out for my anyway

@FevreMarshall @HardFactorNews @CallahanAutoCo Extra impressive considered its rated R too

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@kilovh @dumbahey @mastero_mr Seems like election denial should be a clear-cut dealbreaker

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@franzsherbert @the_bryantfirm You mean Prisoner of Azkaban of course

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@mattyglesias depressing how much bigger the D+ lead needs to be to get us the house.

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@TheHungerer @here_enter21132 @SmasheCapital @RealEmirHan Cameron can’t “regret doing” a scene if he had zero involvement in it

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@TheHungerer @here_enter21132 @SmasheCapital @RealEmirHan So in other words, Cameron did not direct Alien, which has the scene you were complaining about

@doggygoth @sasha_banichek @ZaelMoonblade Misread your comment at first but you’ve got plenty of options in the blue cities of the blue state of Colorado.

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@doggygoth @sasha_banichek @ZaelMoonblade Name something other than temps that matter and I’m sure I can find a place in the red that fits for you

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@doggygoth @TheGeekFactor_ @ZaelMoonblade ?

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@doggygoth @sasha_banichek @ZaelMoonblade The high elevation parts of AZ do. Not to mention large areas of Colorado, Wyoming, parts of NorCal, high-altitude parts of New Mexico, so on. I’d still pick the blue area but red area’s a clear decent option

@SupremeDarty @jamesavery7890 @jzux Every time there's a heat wave in spring (which are normal) they act like it won't go back to cool in a few days as usual. I'll never get that.

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@SupremeDarty @jamesavery7890 @jzux People lack object permanence when it comes to the weather for some reason. We're still in spring and getting a gradual increase in temperature overall, people just only notice the weather when its unusually hot or cold

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@vibridgerton @DiscipleOfBrad thank god the Doctor did show up because that would've been so awkward

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@paulswhtn Not sure which fate is worse

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@zeeshan_shah_dc @AdamNoahWho IBX wouldn’t help much with this specific route, but would with destinations a little farther out.

The problem with this pic is that the G line needs to be faster and more reliable

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@CPTowers @mr_sanford_lyl @lionel_trolling The normal response to the post would’ve “yeah I feel you,” followed by perhaps an explanation of why a direct route doesn’t exist. The instant rush to attack the person for pointing out something New Yorkers everywhere complain about seems bizarre

[Mike B @98Mikeb]

@CPTowers @mr_sanford_lyl @lionel_trolling But the original post was written by a regular person, not someone claiming to be an expert. That’s why the aggressive hostility I’m seeing feels odd to me.
