You’ll survive, but you’ll be funnier in a way that worries people

I think something was lost when all the airline pilots stopped talking like Chuck Yeager.

Spent New Years Eve watching ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ in the ideal environment for a murder mystery: a slumber party where everyone was tipsy and could pause the movie at critical junctures to debate new evidence about The Murder.

On ‘The Daily Show’, John Stewart would play select news clips for the audience, often pausing to add commentary. This format made him America’s first popular reaction YouTuber. In this essay I will-

least plausible thing in spider man movies is always that he made the suit himself. the tom holland ones are the best in this regard (he makes *a* suit and it sucks) but the better solution would be to make peter parker an avid seamstress. possibly a contestant on project runway

WV 牧台 🚬

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

I bet I’d really get into RV Camping if I could install a holographic map table that shows a live scan of our surroundings. Planing hikes with tense music. Using words like ‘deployment’ and ‘loadout’. Highlighting areas with bear sightings in red and calling them ‘local forces’.

Сommission ✨

It’s ready, the custom Watchmaster I made of my brother as a Christmas gift! He’s been out of the hobby for years and could never choose a favorite chapter, so I did the guys who are every chapter! I’m no loyalist, so this was a fun chance to switch things up & experiment with freehand. #Warhammer

Hey Bluebies! (that's what we call Bluesky Newbies 'round these parts🤠) We do things a lil different then Elmos Hecksite. Each post creates a "shard". 50 shards makes a Sky Gem 💎. Gems can be spent on swag like custom hats for ur PFP...but you mustnt wear hats in the Cloud Level or a Bird may attack

Everyone who does ‘modern’ covers of Christmas songs sucks shit because they never use this opportunity to put the drinking or the abolitionism back in the songs. Cowards!

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually found him seated on the Golden Throne of Holy Terra. There, his body writhes, sustained by eldritch technologies and the lives of the thousand souls fed to him every day, so that he may never truly die.

Nothing makes you feel lamer than trying to explain a dysphoria crash out. I’ve walked off broken ribs and seen a guy beaten to death in broad daylight but I also nearly started crying in public because a sweater looked wrong on me? Make it make sense.

“Your characters need to be more realistic/grounded/relatable” is how you get upper middle class kids mired in ivory tower desperation writing about lower class guys in rural Oregon doing opioids. It’s somehow also boring. Have you met a ‘regular’ person? They’re insane and so is their life.

We need to remake the Nutcracker with 90% less boring victory parade and 200% more Mouse King!

If you are an outsource company and you write to me and I don’t reply, and you write again and use the line “silence looks like a sign of consent” with a smiley face just fucking know I will never engage your services because that is super gross

The internal name for F.E.A.R. at Monolith was ‘Action Movie’. To my knowledge, most folks on the team didn’t expect the horror elements to really be a point of focus. Admittedly, the gunplay was excellent. Even when a title does succeed, you might be wrong about why players like it.

“Uncle Luther’s in the kitchen! She’s helping me build a rocket.” - My 4 year old nephew, really rolling with me being non-binary

Fixing the problematic Christmas song ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ by adding MORE non-con elements. Restraints, hypnosis, forced-femme, things of that nature.

every day this becomes more true

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

For readers who are about to lose care, I have been told that the Trans Youth Emergency Project is helping the families of trans youth contingency plan to access that care. www.transyouthemergencyproject.org

I can’t emphasize enough just how vile this is and how much damage it’ll do. Children. They’re children, and they have to fight adults just to try to be who they are. I tried when I was their age. I failed. I’m 38 and STILL picking up the pieces.

Git: No! You c-can’t pull now! What if you overwrite these files?! Me: I’ve literally never seen these before. Sure. Git: I can’t! YOU have to select move, delete, discard, or remove! They’re all different things! Me: Alright. Please discard the changes on my side. Git: I’d rather kill myself.

It’s weird to think that for ~5 days of revenue, Valve could be the most effective indie publisher in the industry. Deep marketing and distribution pull, huge brand recognition, super durable finances, near perfect knowledge of sales and genre trends. And? They just?? Don’t???

The hardest part of going to underground nightclubs is pretending not to notice when John Wick shows up. Just dancing and shimmying to a point of cover. At least it’s easier to get to the bar once all the guns start going off, but you MUST tip extra. Combat pay.

It’s WILD having a dysphoria crash out from looking at photos of myself, then looking at the same photos the next day and they’re… totally fine. It was always fine.

old twitter was like a place in interwar berlin, paris, or shanghai people have romantic memories about in spite of witnessing knife fights between prostitutes daily and heroin junkies overdosing

global adoption of linux gets pushed back by 6 years every time a Linux Guy starts talking at me like max headroom

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

“Don’t idealize queer relationships in antiquity, because the dynamics were really problematic!” Oh boy! Wait until you read about the STRAIGHT relationships!

Imperial Commissar when all battlefield corpses vanish and the Kroot mercenaries withdraw on the same night:

So I may be doing some level design on something 👀👀👀

Silence in a dark room, save for the breathing of two souls who’ve hated each other since their public interviews together. “It’s funny. We know everyone does this, but technically… it’s cheating.”

Trying to get an ADHD diagnosis in this country is fucking clown shoes. I’ve filled out 3 self assessments already, have to send 2 more to my partner, and take a drug test. This is, presumably, before a human doctor even speaks with me. I have insurance. This is the good version of events.
