Just watched The Big Bus (1976), a parody of the Irwin Allen disaster films of the 70s & a film that just barely pre-dates the Zuckers' Airplane. It's a lot of fun and you can watch for free on YouTube! youtu.be/vfGD1iOBFcM?... #filmsky

he's so good at this. just amazing.

I don't understand a thing about this thread. It showed up on my feed and I kinda love it

When the Yankees get eliminated

I was looking at a photo of five anti-trans ppl railing against trans healthcare*. Yet all five had procedures to assert their gender. Four had used the dangerous chemical, peroxide, & the fifth had had a procedure to implant devices.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the “undesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Cuomo could never.

If you guys were wondering where I was this afternoon, I got raptured!! But as a joke I yelled out "Wait ..This is the BAD PLACE" and I immediately got dumped in front of the time clock at work & that is why I was late Debra

Truth

This is fantastic!

Terrific thread!

One of the things I sadly had to leave behind on our last trip to LA was this Pin The Tail On The Donkey painting i made for the kid's 6th Birfday. If anyone's interested it's behind a concrete trash bin at the Westfield Mall

Why exactly is it so hard to find Chris Elliot's Marlon Brando Banana Dance online? This has been torturing me for years if I'm being honest

You think I didn't order one? Well, you thought wrong, Debra

Good god the Bill Hader episode is renewing my faltering will to live youtu.be/GHPY8icXOnk?...

Adam Conover, as always; spitting hot fucking fire.

I really do think Ezra Klein needs to be held to account for why he gets to keep his columnist job, as a white man, for saying CK was "practicing politics the right way" while Karen Attiah, a Black woman, loses her columnist job for quoting what CK said about Black women. Someone, plz ask him.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Washington Post’s commitment to personal liberties does not extend to employing people who criticize gun violence or accurately quote, without comment, Charlie Kirk’s words

This thing. My god. This was one of the worst skincare 'solutions' since arsenic

Speaker Johnson saying "This is not who we are" is about the dumbest thing someone could say at this moment. This is exactly who were have become, often several times a week.

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

I finally found a cat food Richard actually likes! Whether he'll eat it, that's another story

Day 6 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo

I love that last shot of him cleaning up the chips. What a dear!

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

Absolutely delightful post

So many great recs in this thread!

Experimental philosophy

Really well written piece for dumdums like me, explaining the viral impacts of HPV on humans and other critters

So my favorite kid at work shared this absolute banger, a remix of Hollaback Girl and Give It to Me, from a game called DJ Hero. What a bop! youtu.be/_1bnMuH65I8?...

I cannot spiritually afford to live where artists cannot

Someone made this incredible Mother Brain from the Metriod series and for the life of me I can't understand how they achieved this

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice* This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

I swear I thought this was The Onion

VFX houses have been abused for decades. I wish they had the means to go on strike and make the studios actually show what AI can’t do.

door to door, window to window

i don't think there's anything suspicious about ghislaine maxwell's suicide next week. lots of sex offenders are going to kill themselves.

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers
