And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.

You ever stop and think about how many hours you spent as a young teen watching "Earth: Final Conflict"? Inevitably leads to thinking the same about "The Invisible Man" and "First Wave."

Five perfect films in no particular order: Ball of Fire The Iron Giant The Thing Bob Le Flambeur Spider-Man 2

xmas movie posters but with muppets: thread

Hoverboards are the future, segways are the future, betamax, laser disc, Google glass is the future, 3d tvs are the future, curved screens are the future. Like do we have to traipse through the whole graveyard of tech to get these people to understand just becauae you say it doesn't make it true.

if you never got around to crossing "read a book" off your 2025 resolution list:

Well, this joke has aged bizarrely.

Edward Gorey, 1950s

I didn't know the War on Christmas included assassination of its high command.

Spreading this video should be the new version of getting Doom to run on unorthodox electronics. Get it playing on those stupid screens on smart fridges.

In the Orthodox Church, "Die Hard" is a Feast of St. Alexander movie.

There is, at root, only one conservative joke, which is, "Isn't it hilarious that there are people who aren't like me, and are therefore inherently inferior?"

"cancel culture?" you mean being held accountable for your actions?

Mm, yes...this would fix me.

A Christmas Carol (1951)

Somehow when its on, its worse. odditymall.com/darth-vader-...

Today is the 85th anniversary of Captain America! December 20, 1940, was the publication date of Captain America Comics #1. Created by Joe Simon & Jack Kirby.

36. Finally this. The mark of the fossil fuel shill who never loses the arrogance to walk into a room, say "the sun doesn't shine at night and its not always windy", drop the mic and leave, confident that no one else knows what they just discovered.

One reason it’s hard to get equal representation from conservatives in research and education and culture is that there’s no intellectual underpinning to conservatism. Any analysis is backfilled to justify activity and policy motivated entirely by animus. If it’s ever correct, that’s coincidence.

I heard there was a secret code, that David knew to unlock god mode, but you don't really care for cheating, do yah? It goes like this, up up down down left right lef

Maybe the three kings were actually following the Nexus in the night sky.

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...

Goodnight.

They say that right before you die, all of the memes you've saved to your phone flash before your eyes.

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

I am upset by how hard I laughed at this.

You heard it here first, folks: the big online trend of 2026 will be Uncle Ye posting. Everybody loves Uncle Ye.

No food has ever amazed me like the breakfast after a middle-school sleepover when my friend's parents revealed the existence of canned mandarins to me. How do they get the skins off every individual segment? Incredible.

Ooh, don't mind if I do.

Don’t ask questions; just click the post and scroll up to see OP and the replies. What magical fun.

It is inconceivable that this man could explain Section 230 if you asked him.

The great thing about being a David Brooks hater is that he validates your hatred constantly.

If you’re a parent and you’re not ready for your child to be trans, you’re not ready to be a parent. If you’re a person who isn’t comfortable participating in a society that includes trans people, you’re not ready to be in society. Trans people have never been the problem

Loving this Bruno Redondo cover.

It's funny how investment ads say "past performance does not indicate future results" as if that isn't one of the fundamental ways that humans comprehend information.

Working on my gritty reboot where a battle-hardened Harry and his holographic AI sidekick C.L.A.R.E.N.C.E. travel back in time to stop cyborg Mr. Potter from killing George Bailey as a child.

Did I ever tell you about that one Christmas where Ghost Rider and Jewish Ben Grim were two of the Wise Men who visited the baby Jesus...

I don’t know of any progressive artist of any variety who wants patronage and praise from right-wingers but conservatives are absolutely desperate for the slightest crumb of approval from all the people they’ve devoted their lives to obliterating

Something to keep your eye on. Popular discourse is starting to turn against AI, so new frameworks are being built to continue selling it. We are about to see a flood of media that qualifies AI: “Gen AI” is bad and overhyped but “predictive” or “analytic AI” is responsible and good. +

We all took middle-school science, so I don't understand why no one is getting behind my idea to update the grid with Van De Graff generators providing abundant, cheap static electricity.

i would rather not make anything ever again than use generative ai for writing a first draft or generating ideas or whatever. i would rather die basically

December 16, 1924: Hiram Bingham is elected as to serve in the US Senate forcing him to resign as Governor of Connecticut after serving only 1 day in office, the shortest term of any Connecticut Governor. He's most famous for discovering the ancient Incan site of Machu Picchu.

There's only one IP I'm interested in seeing Hollywood turn into a franchise, and it's the early '90s TV ad for Crossfire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCwn...
