If you're arguing that anything is or isn't a Xmas thing - movie, song, food, etc - it already is.

I bet a lot of movies set in destination cities have the early-ish scene where the protagonist sightsees around town. And I bet a lot of the residents of those cities always roll their eyes at the path the protagonist would have made to see these sights in this order, usually within a short time...

Tim Cratchit is now 182 years old.

This is my first yearly watching of SCROOGED in a David Johannsen-less world.

CHESS DOES IT AGAIN - 1,600th time Game of the Year Winner! 🏆

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Obviously I'm biased, but I promise this is well worth your time.

i made a photo zine of people standing in front of glenn danzig’s house that has outsold this book

If you're going out tomorrow night in Manhattan, NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE

I think it's very annoying that by "tech" (see: techno-optimism) people only refer to the most recent, most hyped investment tool. So that if you don't buy the hype of the most recent bullshit, you're anti-tech. I'm not anti-food if I don't buy White Castle's new sliders, bro.

UK-ers: When you say aloud the name of the SLade song, do you say "Merry Christmas Everybody" or "Merry Xmas Everybody?" Like, do you say KRIST-mas or EX-mas?

My 12-year-old son has a question and I suggested I would pose it to anyone reading this: If one of Santa’s elves commits a murder and then dies, do they go to Hell?

I sometimes wonder about what Orville Gibson would think if he'd known how closely his name would someday be associated with the devil.

I'm watching the 2019 CHRISTMAS CAROL with Guy Pearce. It's padded to like over 3 hours. The performances are good, the sets and costumes are about as good as they get. But the extra stuff is, without exception, not good.

This is probably meant as a joke but is 100% true.

This opinion is mostly correct, though it's not weird. Honkies are so boring we've /ruined the flavor attributed to us./

I have a joke about Midas that's gold, but I'm still never happy with it.

It's (understandably) getting terrible reviews, and it is near-incomprehensible even IF you saw the first one yet are not immersed in game lore, but I saw the FNAF2 movie in a room full of middle schoolers. They repeatedly en masse lost their fucking minds over it.

Mostly useless for tourists, or anyone in the outer boroughs. Or uptown. But if you're planning on moving to Manhattan, the following may be of some use:

Peacemaker going through one of his dimension doors to a universe where he's still able to see Hanoi Rocks in concert. He walks through and he's in Hawkins, Indiana.

I remain astoundingly predictable.

I'm like 50/50 on whether or not the Wendy's Carvers sub-sub-plot in The Chair Company is the creators trying to fuck up IRL search engine AI algorithms.

Getting around to Stranger Things five, I had seen a bunch of people mentioning how this cast is far too old to be playing the age they’re meant to be. And honestly, the jokes didn’t even do justice to how jarring it is. They really should’ve tried to set this in 1994 or something.

Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

They should bring back those oversized TV remotes that get struck by lightning and send you into the TV where you learn important lessons about life.

Remembering the Thanksgiving when my mom was recommending a movie called The Robot and Frank, but I thought she was saying “The Robot Anne Frank.”

Holiday travel on the actual holiday, super early in the morning. I have an entire Amtrak seat to myself.

new waitresses song just dropped

its so crazy that young people became less interested in movies & tv at the same time weird tech guys mostly started deciding what gets made

On national jukebox day I must come out against being able to control the jukebox from your phone, people should know who put on that awful song and you should stand there and support your taste with whole heart

My only real Thanksgiving hot take is that other countries should appropriate it from us.

Meg says we should stop arguing about pie and instead argue about the four minutes that could have been cut from Rumours to fit Silver Springs

A question for something I'm doing: With what you know right now, without looking up anything or thinking too much, would you consider the band Rancid to be a ska band? Share please, I'd like to see as many answers as possible. Thanks!

This same doorman today stopped me to tell me that while he admits he's paying more for groceries, he's happy the US has avoiding the fate of Europe: all the migrants telling the natives how to run their countries. WHY DOES HE DO THIS RIGHT BEFORE XMAS TIP SEASON?!?!

This is 100% worth your time.

It's good that I binged Death By Lightning alone. I would have paused and ACTUALLY IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT-ed through pretty much the whole thing.

"Gen X hated The Beatles" is beyond a bizarre thing to say. The second worst thing about us is how the Boomers told us "we're cooler than you" and we largely replied "yes we agree."

Caught up with the next 3 episodes and it does, thankfully, get a lot better.

I too am feeling the pull to start with the Xmas music & decorations. But I will hold firm and refrain until next week. Otherwise I will in all probability begin to hate it before its natural cycle has ended.

I loathe the use of "crack" by honkies to denote an otherwise innocent thing being addictive.

Mr. Mamdani AND Mr. Cuomo's supporters use the word /for each other./ And then most conservatives use the word for both groups collectively. It's maddening.

NGL it really sucks that when reading anyone's opinion of Mr. Mamdani, one has to parse which of the several definitions of "liberal" is being disparagingly used.

Colleague on Zoom: It’s all coming back to me now. Isn’t that a Meat Loaf song? Me: Actually it’s a Celine Dion song, written by Jim Steinman, who wrote most of Meat Loaf’s songs. Meat Loaf heard that one and begged to sing it but Steinman insisted it was for a woman. Steinman also wrote for Air Su

I wish The Zombies had a song called "Cranberry."

I have long been of the belief that The Bee Gees are a very November-coded act. I had no real reason for this, just a deep-seated feeling. But then I learned...

I have been 27 years old for half my life, as of yesterday.

I feel like I have to point out every year that people keep mistaking "10 years ago" for some ludicrous claim like "38 years ago."

All I want for my birthday is for everyone to acknowledge that popular culture peaked in 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWsR...

It would be hilarious if a bunch of us join this thing and run him off of there too.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.
