I follow back!
I have to at least try to sleep a few hours a night, right? When I come back on, there's always a ton of tweets. I quickly scan & move on. My choice.
But then Twitter decides to surreptitiously re-feed me stuff I opted to skip. Why?
I think Twitter is trying to gaslight me. π€
.@nytimes Fantastic article about Gen Z young women & their political aspirations, but this ad appeared throughout. Ads may be app driven, but they are still targeted based on my being female, so it's not entirely random/innocent. Yet we wonder where these messages come from? π€
.@TheLeadCNN Why is no one asking GOP spokespeople this: If we only found out about the Ukraine situation after Trump was elected to a 2nd term, would they still think it's not an impeachable offense(s)? That's "timeline comparable" to Nixon, so....? π€
@jaxbra Also: keep them away from paper bags. However, if you want to quickly ripen other fruit, put a banana in a paper bag with it and it'll be ready fast! Works great with those hard avocados that you suddenly need for last minute guacamole!
@EvilGalProds Not to mention: Tony Randall (75), Eddie Murphy (57), Billy Joel (69), Alec Baldwin (60)... it goes on & on & on, but always reported as "happy" news (w/ "virile" undertones). In some cases (Nikki Sixx, 60) it was post-vasectomy. Double standard doesn't even touch this!
@tcm Need to amend this on the adult choice to also include Wim Wenders' "Wings of Desire" or the director's cut of "Until the End of the World"!
(Like I said, it depends on my mood, and I just found out about @Criterion releasing UTEOTW!!! I'm beyond ecstatic!)
@tcm Kid: Either "The King and I" or "Born Free"
Adult: perhaps "The Darjeeling Ltd" or "Charade" (my favorite movie shifts with my mood).
Frankly, it would be easier to do a week long kid/adult movie pairing film festival. π

@vishnevetsky@Criterion This is one of my most favorite movies of all time! I was only recently able to see the director's cut, thanks to @tcm, and leaving in even a handful of those extra minutes would have done wonders for how the film was originally received. But your tweet just made my day!!
I have seriously bad "FOMOON" (Fear Of Missing Out On News), so the tv stays tuned to @cnn 24/7. It's been this way since Nov 2016. π I really wish Lent was near, because I could give it up for Lent... but I don't know that I have the strength to on my own. #NewsRehab
@d3sk I DVR'd it, but haven't watched yet. So excited they brought it back! (Maybe it's a sad reflection on the state of affairs in the world right now that this brings me such joy, but it is what it is...)
Watching an old episode of #Betrayed on @IDdiscoveryCa. It opens with a family dinner and the mom cutting off one grown son from pouring himself another glass of "bubbly"-- from a sparkling cider bottle. Maybe he just got out of apple juice rehab?! π€
