Happy National Vision Board Day!
Or Joel Day. Your choice!
Hello and welcome to the weekend!
Today is National Vision Board Day. I have always just thought of vision boards as the kind of thing people start on a rainy weekend and then never bother with again (not me, I am too cynical, but other people), but apparently there are a lot of people who are so super into them that they literally make videos about how to do them specifically so they come true, which definitely sounds like a whole load of bullshit.
I will not show you any of those videos because I don’t want to have to watch one long enough to have something to say about it, but I will drop this hour and a half long video about how to get into “Christian clowning,” because of how I love you!
You are welcome! Today is also Alexander Hamilton’s birthday, which we will celebrate by not making any of you listen to me sing the King George songs. You are welcome for that as well.
I also bring you Action Family, a Cinemax one-off starring Chris Elliot that I have not seen but have been assured is very good. I plan to watch it and so should you!
Today is also National Joel Day, and as such, I bring you Joel Grey (one of the top three Joels ever, IMO) singing “Willkommen” from Cabaret with the Muppets. Very fun and whimsical so long as you forget/don’t know what Cabaret was actually about!

I need my friends to go stomp on a prick in the Chat who is highly offended that I talked about losing Bear. His name is peter and it's at the very end. FUCK this piece shit. https://substack.com/chat/1783367/post/c73cdae1-80dd-4e26-8312-a4b8c6545fd8
ETA: peter has been deleted and will continue to be deleted. Thank you for giving him an earful.
I remember my younger brother and I went on vacation with my grandma, her sister, and my cousin in 1972, when I, the oldest of the grandchildren, was barely in double-digit age.
It was an old-lady vacation to a nice resort-y hotel with not much to do but splash in the pool and play cards, and it rained a lot, so there was even less to occupy three little kids. We couldn't play cards or board games all the time, and my cousin whined that she didn't want to bowl every day, so the old ladies decided to take advantage of the town's only movie theater... after all, it was a musical, so how bad could it be?
Even though almost everything went right over our heads, for the rest of the vacation, Grandma and Aunt Gertrude made us SWEAR repeatedly that we wouldn't tell our parents that we had seen Cabaret.
