Amazing. I never thought we’d invent real life C-3POs (etiquette and protocol droids) before we’d invent R2-D2s, but here we are.
Oh no, if Twitter goes down I’ll…

In the documentary I Know That Voice, Kevin Conroy tells this unforgettable story about working at a food relief station in Manhattan in the days after 9/11. It’s one of my favorite stories he told about the power of his talents. Rest In Peace Mr. Conroy
Showing my 5-year-old Star Wars…
HER: Why does Darth Vader look like that?
ME: He got hurt in a fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi a long time ago.

HER: WHAAAAT!?
We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish and ordain this Constitution, so that we all may vote on dialysis-related ballot measures, every year, for the rest of our lives.

Why yes I have had a low-grade fever for several days while taking care of a 5-year-old, why do you ask?
The first two new episodes of Kids in the Hall feel miraculous. They’ve somehow seamlessly continued the original show’s energy and style (from 1995!) and it still feels fresh. I was scared this would be old heroes embarrassing themselves but instead it’s triumphant.
