People make a big deal out of how offputting the word "moist" is but have you ever looked at the word "munch"??? No fuckin' thanks!!!

I've tried so hard over the years to get people to call Jim Morrison "J.Mo" but no one else seems to think it's as good an idea as I do

What idiot called it flash fiction and not splickety-lit

Few things on Earth are cooler than Hüsker Dü covering Badstreet USA in a Minnesota basement in 1984.

Attn Philly Freaks with nothin' to do on a Tuesday night

Up until today he was the best living guitar player. Glad I got to see him a bunch over the years www.clashmusic.com/news/james-b...

Department Of Labor Cracks Down On People Getting Paid For Work https://theonion.com/department-of-labor-cracks-down-on-people-getting-paid-for-work/

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary...and 9 others, like me, who don't

The ultimate Imposter Syndrome comes from not knowing if you're saying "shibboleth" correctly

FUCK YOU, MARTIN SCORSESE

It felt like a semi-illegal hack when I realized I could have very little spending money but still be able to get my hands on small press books this way

I hate it when I'm thoroughly enjoying a book and then one of my least favorite literary devices shows up: the narrator all of a sudden becoming Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer to describe an object

Where's the lie?

I think it's funny that Weezer wrote and recorded a perfect pop-rock album, followed that up with an album where the hooks are at best 25% as good as on the first one, and when it was a relative failure compared to the first one, Rivers Cuomo blamed it all on his lyrics being too vulnerable

Pit Bull Makes Throat-Slitting Gesture While Owner Not Looking

On the one hand, this guy is making some dumb assumptions about the way all writers do their work, with his only evidence being that that's the way he does his work. On the other hand, maybe he's just a silly li'l guy who likes to be funny with a hat?

This kind of thinking absolutely cannot be given a fucking inch and these people have to be run out of the writing community tarred and feathered on a rail and there is no other way around it

Decided not to be shy!

One for KISS fans to think about

Up until now I've loathed the phrase "the kids are alright" because what it translates to is "I, an old person, like that a group of young people are doing an old person thing"...but I just walked past a young kid doing a "shave and a haircut" knock on a door and I finally get it now

THEM STILL THINKING IT'S REAL IS STILL REAL TO ME, DAMN IT!!!

WNBA Commentators Make It Through A Game That The Indiana Fever Is Not Playing In Without Mentioning Caitlin Clark Challenge (Impossible)

I agree with everything in this thread and would go a step further and say that I think it's weird that some artists/musicians/writers/etc. have started calling themselves "creatives"

I have obtained exclusive video of Darby Allin from after Double or Nothing went off the air:

The ultimate heel move would have been to come out with his head already shaved #AEWDON

Its nights like this when I just kinda feel bad for the morons who chose sports entertainment over this

WHOA!! #AEWDoN ➡️ allelitewrestling.com/aewonppv

I'm surprised FTR didn't use "we're gonna set Beth on fire" to try to get Cope to quit #AEWDON

The first thing I thought of when Foley was announced for Double or Nothing was that Schiavone was going to be bursting at the seams waiting for the right time to drop this line

I know this makes sense in Europe but as an American I had to do a double-take when I read this paragraph

I think we'd all benefit from a shift to smaller entertainments in general: public access shows, minor league sports, lower budget movies. We're no longer a monoculture so there's no need for spectacles. Why are you spending $200 to see Paul McCartney? You could see 10 small shows for that amount!

I've always been under the impression that the full instruction was "don't be afraid to kill your darlings" meaning to keep idiosyncratic passages UNLESS they don't work within the piece, but it looks like the advice has always been to suck as much fun and excitement out of one's writing as possible

My dream in life is to follow "wrestling is fake" scolds to the movie theater, sit next to them, and point out that the things on screen didn't really happen "See, that guy didn't actually get shot. That was a blood squib and the shooter had a blank. He's just pretending to be in pain"

He’s gonna rename the mandible claw “Mr. Sicko”, isn’t he?

I think the worst thing for me about the A.I. Granta story is the realization that if I saw it when I was 16 I would have thought it was brilliant surrealist writing

This is awful but it's still better than any James Franco poem

For Sale: Blue Suede Baby Shoes. Stepped On.

Jeanette Winterson - The Passion Par Lägerkvist - The Dwarf Mary Robison - Why Did I Ever? If you asked me 10 years ago, third one would have been Robert Coover's Universal Baseball Association

I've finally become the thing I've feared the most: a person who shouldn't have coffee after a certain time

I found out about Mr. Blobby maybe six months ago and he instantly became one of my all-time favorite characters

The Pootie Tang prequel no one was expecting

There's some icky violence against women played for laughs in this but there are also some incredible images plus the story itself is great

I just realized that they neglected to address the Mr. America controversy in the Hulk Hogan four-part Netflix doc and now I'm mad. I'm aware that they were two totally different people but come on, man, you can't devote a minute to the lie detector test???

I will always read this title to myself in the voice of Ren screaming "my favorite friend!" when Kowalski is squeezing Stimpy

Richard Dawkins, dazed, wandering around the theater after the magic show, begging everyone he encounters for an answer to his question: "How was the magician able not only to put his assistant back together but also to do it without any visible saw wound scarring?"

These goddamn kids today with their attention spans ruined so thoroughly that they had to shave 66 seconds off a classic!
