I was not prepared for this group number. Seeing it in Toronto, everything hit me all at once: the legacy, the emotion, the fact I wasn't wearing waterproof mascara... #SOI23

I just had to share a few more photos from this poignant group number from this year’s Stars on Ice tour. The lyrics of ‘To Build a Home’ packed so much meaning into this sweet farewell to Kurt and his time performing with Stars. #danielleearlphotography #KurtBrowning #SOI23

It's the 27th anniversary of the Planet of the Apes musical. How'd we write it in one afternoon? The Simpsons writers room has a rule that should apply everywhere: Never knock down someone else's pitch. "Crazy" or "dumb" notions can lead to brilliance/be exactly what's needed.

Observation: Congress is funny-ha-ha when you're watching from abroad, but funny-oh-Christ-y'all once you decide to live here.

I am on board a Delta flight right now. The person sitting next to me in first class refused $100,000 to remove her mask for the entire flight. No joke. This was after I explained they don’t work. She works for a pharma company.

Stop complaining about Rhianna’s Super Bowl performance and just be grateful the US military didn’t shoot down her dancers.

EVERY US SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL: This :30 commercial cost $10M. It stars Timothee Chalamet and Lizzo. It was directed by Greta Gerwig. EVERY CANADIAN SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL: Here’s a Tim Hortons commercial from October. You will see it 27 times tonight. You already hate it.

There's no lineup I experienced in 2 weeks of SF SketchFest that I couldn't experience in 3 nights at Largo. (I'll have a lot more to say once I cool down from my pointless 2.5 hour drive in torrential rain to see no show. Hey, I could be halfway to Largo by now!)

They knew a snow storm was coming but Toronto doesn’t care about lower and middle class folks who use the TTC. This is not a world class city stop claiming it is! And employers need to quit dragging ppl into work during storms let them wfh if they are able to #TOpoli #Toronto

I’d just like everyone to know that @united has lost track of my bag and is lying about it. My apple AirTag shows that it has been sitting in a residential apartment complex for over a day. Out back by the dumpsters, I have found other emptied United Airlines bags.

Actual shout-out to the older (my age) blonde agent with the neon vest who came to "inform" the girls about the revised time, and straight-up told me Westjet would auto-rebook my entire itinerary and I'd get an email. All I wanted in the first place!
