@jay_brittenham @emilynussbaum “Shhh,” she shushed him.

@jjarichardson @emilynussbaum Also mine. It was a talking poop scene I think. I was so far along and I had to phone a friend to tell me if I should persist.

@ibeccanne @Aaron__Burch There was an era in late 90s/early aughts where O Henry was much stronger than BASS (IMO).

[Ira Hall @IraSirah]

I stand in awe.

This is the only Mandela effect that I've never read a good explanation for. I know what I saw.

Logan’s Run meets Never Let Me Go meets The Matrix—#TheFerryman delivers on its premise and then some. Each commercial “twist” deepens the philosophical themes. Bravo @jccronin
