How does this all-time great barely clear 1000 likes? *I*’ve had posts with more likes and I’m no one. I’m a marginal poaster, at best. I am a bug before this god.

Yes, the issues he supports. I also think they hate having to support Paxton on so much they have to make talarico out to be evil.

The year is 2126. We are living in a [insert “post-scarcity utopia” or “climate-devastated hellscape”]. BlueSky is the sole remaining social media forum. People are still arguing about the vibesession with Will Stancil’s disembodied head.

Why is he @‘ing Wikipedia?

Would you like to add Alliance Travelers Insurance®️? ✅ Yes, I will make this wise decision. ❌ No, I will decline coverage, like the dumbass that I am. May God have mercy on my soul.

Shit like this is the best part of social media. Hyper-topicality, low barrier to entry, and democratization (likes and upvotes) have revolutionized comedy.

Sorry for the tangent but if you look you’ll see trigonometric sines everywhere! Still don’t see? Take a secant look. Maybe they’re playing hide and go seek, aunt! (Cosecant.) I’m going to go lie down.

Beau is Afraid: I Swear I've Had This Nightmare

When you see someone famous at an AA meeting and you know that you are never ever allowed to tell anyone

An Obama appointee and a former federal prosecutor, the lesson is clear: nominate more public defenders!

Electrons are in superposition with every possible measurable outcome? Just one question: what the f are you talking about bro?

Do you like fun movies? If so, watch Send Help! There are one or two eyeball gougings, though, be warned.

Uh, sir, I’m afraid all those performers are retired and half of Milli Vanilli has been dead for 28 years.

No one pictures everyone in the room naked when they’re nervous anymore, because of woke

If I'm brewing a perfect #TXSen electoral storm for James Talarico, it would look something like this. 1. Strong Dem base turnout. The environment helps, but he needs Crockett voters. 2. Winning enough R/Cornyn voters who just cannot stomach Paxton. 3. Hispanic voters swinging hard back to Dems.

Surprisingly striking and arty promo photo for a shark movie

Beau Is Afraid is Ari Aster’s magnum opus. Eddington is a normie paranoid thriller. This is all I have to say on the matter.

No Coke Zero!

Bring back original recipe cocaine

Is there any parallel to people losing their minds for exactly 2 wks after Kirk died, then precipitously moving on. My aunt posted on FB something anodyne about Kirk’s racism. My uncle created an extended family text thread & said “YOU DISGUST ME! YOU THINK HE DESERVED TO DIE? DO I DESERVE TO DIE?”

And it can be done cheaply too! The word has gotten out that quality young filmmakers are producing fresh, quality product, so you don’t need big stars, Big IP, special effects, or even expensive film stock to get lovers of cinema *and* lovers of plain ol’ quality entertainment into the theaters.

this would actually work incredibly well

It's dangerous to go alone take this: 🖕

got a tune rn that goes between F octatonic (half-whole) and E♭ Phrygian ♮6

Elon Musk thought Homelander was based. The entire show mocks how pathetic Homelander is despite being the most powerful person in the world. Neither money nor fame nor adoration can heal his baby ego, and everyone with a brain realizes he’s a total joke. They aren’t subtle about it.

The bubble that I post from:

@badideas.bsky.social I’m always so stoked when artists I idolize are on BS. Mandy obviously but The Viewing was a goddamn revelation.

Every now and again a snippet within a piece of art will hit. Anna Magnani running, frantic, toward the camera in Rome, Open City (1944) is one. Lightfoot’s quoted lyric is another. I remember saying “whoa” or “oh shit” when I saw this. I don’t have the words to explain why it’s perfect but it is.

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" Gordon Lightfoot "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”

We’re in the “halfway down” phase after jumping off a building. Like, “hmm, not so bad so far.” We haven’t hit the ground yet but we kinda know where it’s going. I made this same analogy in 2019, and “the ground” was Trump’s botched Covid response. The trajectory is more ominous this time.

Here me out: GenAI reality show

Lmao I was curious who Math Emergency was and got this great example of just how shitty Google has gotten

Does the UMich Consumer Sentiment Index do negative numbers?

perfect joke no notes

Russia just feeding hundreds of thousands of young men into the meat grinder. Some estimates as high as 500k dead Russian soldiers, for fucking nothing. “Russia bad” yea yea yea but legitimately Putin is one of the leading instigators of misery on the planet today.

The Sun Dagger!!! Pre-Columbus ancient site that measured equinoxes and solstices. I didn’t know about the surrounding glyphs and art.

Grassley’s vaguely suggestive DQ tweet could have only been improved if he put a winky emoticon at the end

I’ve been impressed with district court judges the last 18 months, esp. Trump appointees who have adhered to the rule of law. I’m embarrassed that my admiration has such a low bar (no pun intended), but seeing principles against the background of nakedly political SC rationalizations inspires hope.

A clown and a small child are walking into a dark forest. “I’m scared,” says the child. “You think you’re scared? I have to walk back alone.”

Made of bone instead of ivory, these could be on a runway now

Eraserhead, by a mile. Can you imagine seeing it in some seedy NYC midnight showing in the late 70s?

“Who is this guy Rorschach and why does he keep painting pictures of my parents fighting?”

I can’t tell you whether a movie is overrated because I have little faith in my analytic skills of things as subjective as art. But I can tell you what I like and don’t like, and I do not like Raging Bull. The background, production, etc. all very neat to me. But I don’t get what people see in it.
