There was no experience like staying up late to watch this on broadcast TV, knowing that all over the country people would be simultaneously saying "what the fuck just happened there, then?" at exactly the same time as you.

In middle school we all had to reconfirm to each other that this TV show actually existed. "Candle Cove" shit

BUCK: welcome to Monday Night Football going out across the fractured and shattered united states. we'd especially like to welcome our newest viewers from the greater Omaha Demilitarized Zone who are joining us courtesy of the warlord Lord Bones, the Water Prophet. AIKMAN: Tremendous warlord, Joe.

this is what people do in the BEFORE section of infomercials

We are back home from our most excellent adventure

you mean st. petersburg?

Oh! But Robyn and Emma are singing tonight and that's where I'll go, I think.

Posting random Spinal Tap. This was apparently the beginning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=--DD...

This is a nice night.

The delivery code is "69" IT HAPPENED TO ME

i view the post-oderus gwar as sort of a cargo cult band but i do still respect their hustle. america must be destroyed is a classic metal album and scumdogs of the universe is not far behind, although their best work is on vhs tapes

Imagine trying to cancel GWAR

PMRC II is gonna be sooooo stupid

to restate for the audience in the back: the difference between binary and nonbinary is the difference between soup and stew. either way you call it, it's still not a fucking sandwich.

I'm basically whatever gender you want me to be. Is the thing. I enjoy not being completely one thing. I enjoy constantly changing. That is my identity: the concept of undergoing personal evolution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMu1...

All pronouns are fine for me quite honestly

So the reason there are no pronouns in my bio is not what you'd think. It's the opposite of that. My gender is "I care SO little about my gender there is literally no way to misgender me, and I am actively uncomfortable telling others how to gender me."

I’m willing to go on the news and say this. Just call me

We know the case of autism: Autistic people fuckin!

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

US consumer facing brands when they realize the vast majority of consumption is done by white people with college degrees, a monolithically culturally liberal group

me to my wife .04 seconds after reading a wikipedia page

im always amazed by the euphemisms they come up with because people are hip to the "you are fat and need to lose weight" ruse. now we all have to Fix Our Cortisol, Heal Our Guts, Balance Our Hormones etc and coincidentally all the symptoms of these "problems" are being fat and/or ugly

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

Trump’s “show of strength” is coming from a place of deep weakness. Stop granting him power he is rapidly losing

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

In the 1940s Leo Kanner took the existing word Autism and applied it to the Neurotype we now refer to as Autism. So … Autism has been around for thousands of years … the word was coined in 1911 but didn’t mean “Autism” at the time. The Neurotype was documented and *named* Autism in the 1940s

If it has wheels, I can't do anything with it. Cars confuse and frighten me.

In middle school, I had a brief period as a "Monty Hall" Dungeon Master and went out of my mind as a people-pleaser and gave everybody so many magical amulets and the power to dethrone gods and whatnot. Can I be a Supreme Court judge?

Despite having two degrees from the University of Michigan, 2023 college graduate Matthew Solomon is struggling to find a job. "I have probably have sent out, gosh, maybe 1500 or more applications," Solomon said.

A few days ago Trump was gloating about shutting down NPR for good. He really was that high on his own supply. He needs to be reminded that we are not his toys.

For the record, I was a caffeine addict before I was an alcoholic. The Novelty Soda Posts are partly because I don't drink anymore but it was always there. I don't think I'll ever give up caffeine. I'm going to be honest with myself here. Last time I tried was after college and that was bad.

For all of my non-US followers: The average American voter sees politics as a sporting event shot through the lens of the Entertainment Industry because we were trained to do so since birth. I hope this explains things.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I used to be a beer snob during my actively alcoholic days but Mich was always dogshit. Miller knew how to make drinkable cheap beers. If I could be trusted with non-alcoholic beers (I can't, too trigger-y) I would go with a Miller HIgh Life.

We are all Wendy Carlos's children.

Weird comparison: It's like the industrial version of Belle & Sebastian's "Storytelling" soundtrack? It's not quite a real NIN release, but there's a few additions to the songbook and at worse it's perfect background music.

I just started watching "The Studio" so I'm imagining Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, and Kathryn Hahn yelling at each other about whose idea it was to cancel Kimmel and then Barinholtz and Hahn yelling at Rogen that, sorry, he's the guy whose gotta make the announcement reversing it.

Conan O'Brien spent a lot of time making fun of this. I believe he had a little person play Jay Leno and a muscular hunk play himself.

Oh hey look at that. The best way that liberals can embarrass all of us Bluesky Leftist Cynics is by proving us all wrong by bringing this energy to other fights.

I feel like this is a Daily Tism crossover.

The good news about "Catholic Boy" is that, halfway through, all these songs absolutely sound like "People Who Died." This is kinda also the bad news.

Robert Downey Jr is a Jim Carroll fan, in what might be the least surprising celebrity fact ever.

"A lot of the groupies that come to me are girls that don’t want to screw me, they want me to read their master’s thesis.” Demisexual goals tbh. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

The good news for today! I have today off and can actually enjoy one of these for the first time in ages.

It's not exactly shocking that America's Josef Mengele ended up being a Kennedy but I did not expect one of the after-effects being making "Curb Your Enthusiasm" reruns unwatchable.
