A huge thank you to @forbes and @taylors2point0 for the kind words about the company I cofounded, @Sweetlaurelbake! Excited for our journey forward 💛 https://t.co/a4yp2NFxts

I really need a @JosephPera/@Tim_Walz interview to happen. The wholesomeness would be too much 💛

It’s the “dress like you’re 100” for the hundredth day of school for my son’s kindergarten class and honestly…

Thinking about @dieworkwear and old school tailoring. No collar gap on my kid 🤣

What good movies are 90% vibes 10% story?

Thinking of this Hitchcock quote:

“It is how you do it, and not your content that makes you an artist. A story is simply a motif, just as a painter might paint a bowl of fruit just to give him something to paint.”

[Devon ☀️ @devonzuegel]

Growing up, I read books where kids played in the forest or street or farm for hours without supervision, and I thought it was lovely fantasy but totally made up

Over time I've realized that that's simply how things used to be! It's now that's the anomaly. Children used to roam, and now they're confined to sheltered transport by adults between home, school, and scheduled playdates https://t.co/B0FgoWLHqp h/t @eluberoff

I wonder what the impact is on kids' and adults' psyches. As a kid, I always longed to explore the world beyond my yard on my own – and my parents probably chafed at having to serve as my chauffeur, too!

Worse, this probably develops thought patterns that reduce your agency and independence in other parts of life. If you grow up asking adults to drive you every time you want to do something outside the house, you'll develop the instinct that you need permission to do things in the world

Hear me out: can they do a season of #Alone but it’s a outdoors person plus their amazingly trained dog?

One of my fav books is “wild animals I have known” and the dynamic of dogs and pioneers/hunters is just incredible. Plus dogs. Adding dogs to anything immediately improves it

@ElyKreimendahl My kid faked a government alert. He said "Mommy, check your phone - it's so hot they're saying everyone needs to pull over and get a popsicle right now" and for 2.5 seconds I believed him.

@alamanecer For YEARS I have wondered why The Black Count wasn't made into an epic film. It is the most incredible story.

[Claire Thomas @KitchyKitchen]

@PaulMakesMovies There are so many films that get dumped on streaming that would’ve done numbers in theaters preCovid. Put them back in theaters!

[Claire Thomas @KitchyKitchen]

@DiscussingFilm Jennifer Lawrence was FANTASTIC and absolutely swung for the fences. Theater was full and everyone was having a great time. Reminded me of Old School in the best way. Silly, raunchy, problematic, fun.

[Claire Thomas @KitchyKitchen]

@wsquared3d @CrossEyedBear @criterionchannl Criterion just has a very different ethos from TCM and filmstruck. It’s also great but just different. They tend to show Hitchcock’s early British work rather than the Cart Grant hits. Criterion exists for people who are already film fans.

[Claire Thomas @KitchyKitchen]

I really need a super friends league of film makers like Tarantino, del Toro, Scorsese, Spielberg, and Cameron to save TCM, or resurrect up Filmstruck, or something. Please, I’m begging. So much access to DISCOVERY will be lost when it’s gone. TCM is where I learned to love film.

@JeffMacke @nycsouthpaw This is very sad Tom Cruise in Minority Report.
