To be fair, you had to have had cystic acne to understand Elliott Smith

Anna Faris has always been criminally underused and underrated in Hollywood

[Nora Penn-Ephron @sortitioncrank]

@AnaKrivolapova Wow, teenage me would be doing an approximation of Single White Female on you over this. 🤩

Not even the first or second time I’ve been in a house where they have an 80+ year old maid/housekeeper/nanny.

[Nora Penn-Ephron @sortitioncrank]

Working for a rich lady today who raves about her lovely maid who is 87 years old. This lady (70) has the gall to say “I always say, I want to be like her when I grow up!”

How come the 2nd or 3rd track of every Beach House album sounds real mean-spirited, like vindictive, possibly evil, and also how come the rest of the shit doesn't sound like that?

I had these Melissa jelly sneaks tf ONNN all through like 2002-2005. There's never been a more perfect coral hot pink before or since.

@jakebrodes No!! NO!

“Indie sleaze.” “Milennial optimism?” Where’s Chillwave? Hipster Runoff? You kids don’t get it, maaaan.

@TryHaaaaaaaaard @tacticoolgf If you’re talking MagLite, I believe the point is more to use it as a baton in addition to the blinding.

@facetedcarapace @suburban_vamp Tbf my dumb ass at 5/6 thought I had a SAHM bc she was home during the day, but she was just working second shift once my dad got home.

[Nora Penn-Ephron @sortitioncrank]

@suburban_vamp @facetedcarapace Same lol. I just couldn’t come up with anything I actually felt like doing so I said SAHM.

We should sit all the big podcasters in a room and give them a quiz, eighth grade English style. They’re all gonna get the same short story to read, followed by a written test on the plot and themes.
I just wanna see something.

Of all the criticism of Joe, people don’t point out enough that he’s really just a Fake Ass Friend

[Overton @overton_news]

Joe Rogan just took time out of his podcast to express genuine concern for his friend Theo Von.

He admitted that some of Von’s recent behavior after getting on SSRIs “freaks me out” — especially his comments about suicide.

ROGAN: “Theo Von’s going through the exact same thing and last time he was on the podcast he was explaining it to me.”

“It freaks me out because I know Theo has had conversations before...like even publicly.”

“He had a Netflix taping and it didn’t go well. It was like they actually never...they shelved it. They never used it.”

“And you know there was all these stories from people that were there saying he bombed. I think he just had a kind of a breakdown.”

“And when he was talking to the crowd and there’s a video of it, he said, you know, the people were saying, hey, we still love you.”

“He goes, thank you. Look, I’m just I’m trying not to take my own life.”

“And like you hear stuff like that and you just go like, oh, Jesus Christ.”

“I’ve known too many people that I didn’t think were going to kill themselves and then did.”

“And then he goes down these spirals where he starts talking about world events and freaking out. I’m like, oh, Jesus Christ! Like, I got to help this dude.”

@RobertSkvarla I think Jacques Valleé is the only person I can think of who claims to have taken part in Project Stargate, who isn’t a complete maniac. Not saying I trust the guy, just that he seems more mentally fit than the rest of his cohort.

[Nora Penn-Ephron @sortitioncrank]

why can't I buy a Triumph puppet? It been like 30 years of this dog, just take my fucking money and give me what I want!

For #2, I try to gather intel from the bookshelves, but it’s usually a bunch of self help garbage and some autobios of conservative politicians. It’s been 15 years in this field and I am no closer to finding out wtf that the rich of Toledo, Ohio do to earn their manses.

[Nora Penn-Ephron @sortitioncrank]

I understand the bit, but I’m going to answer in earnest anyway. These are the houses I work in. It’s one of two situations in my experience:
1. Husband and wife are both surgeons and/or own medical practice with several locations
2. Oblique WFH job

[0ya ✞ @x0yabun]

What jobs actually get people houses like these?
