Blue checks have always always been white checks, but now especially so.

Driving the speed limit is like trying to stand with good posture. Like this can’t be right.

Portland doesn’t need the military. Portland has its own defenses.

I am not a Homestuck, but a Homestuck-adjacent*, so I feel a duty to share this. youtu.be/vQszKkN6Jb0

Knights of Guinevere pilot kicks incredible amounts of ass because it's not only a beautifully animated cartoon for an adult audience, it's also clearly made with head splitting, blood-in-mouth, screaming fucking rage

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Among my most insane beliefs is that Hillary Clinton would have won the 2016 election if she'd worn red for the first debate against Trump, then white for the second, and blue for the third. That would have been a patriotism cheat code to unlock the presidency, surely.

The biggest character design assassination I've ever witnessed in my career of game art

this needs to be hammered into the skulls of every elite individual and institution on every measure - reputationally, financially, morally - you come out better if you fight the guy stand up! it’s the right thing to do and better for you in every way! how often does that happen?

They finally revealed the twist in Peacemaker and when it happened it was exactly the scene I imagined it would be. Well I guess in my mind it looked more like this but close enough.

“Glowing twink with cartoon eyes.” Perhaps…? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_... #Peacemaker

Heads up! There's a phishing scheme happening right now, capitalizing on the wave of cancellations and re-subscriptions to #Hulu. If you receive anything from a "hulumail.com" address, it's fake. Report and delete it.

I would love for Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine to star in a horror film about a popular songstress who is secretly a werewolf who must carefully avoid nighttime performances on full moons… 🌕 (Listen to her music and tell me she doesn't have a wolf in there!)

If that #StarWars movie set 25,000 years before the other movies (and possibly set in a different galaxy?) ever comes together, they should adjust the opening line slightly. From: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... To: A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away....

I've taken a stance in the GIF Pronunciation Wars: I just spell It out. G-I-F. There. Unassailable.

if elon was actually the gaming nerd he claimed to be he would have spent five hundred million dollars on a real deus ex remake instead of whatever the fuck this is the fanmade hd graphics mods are better than this, what are we doing here

the Catholic struggle of having to wait a full 27 minutes into this crime show before a criminal psychologist finally explains the victim’s odd pattern of wounds to the cops - but not to YOU, because you can clock a stigmata at fifty paces and have been waiting irritably for everyone to catch up

How did Sarah Michelle Gellar not win an Emmy for The Body? #BuffyTheVampireSlayer

The Parasitology trilogy is an odd one for me. I have very firm* opinions about cliffhangers--you get one after book one of a duology, book two of a trilogy, or every ten books in an ongoing series. More than that is rude. (*Not binding for anyone else, I'm not your mom.)

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Yes, mobile phones destroyed democracy but they also destroyed postcards. Don't take yet another bad photo of whatever iconic landmark you're supposed to be in awe of. Buy a postcard for a buck and mail a friend something nice. Beats a bland IG post.

I wish there was a more dignified, polite sound to alert unaware passersby than the Annunciatory Sniffle™. I glide around too silently, startling pedestrians if I don't make a noise.

Disney's facing an open letter from shareholders demanding they lay bare all actions and emails surrounding Kimmel's suspension on the grounds that the C-suite and board may have violated their responsibility to fiduciary loyalty and care... and I truly love that for them. Wishing them the worst. 💋

I’m watching Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2017) to 100% the Alien franchise. This underlit monstrosity is like if coil whine was a film.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I want more Star Trek space battles to be NERVOUS MEN looking at TINY BLIPS ON SCREEN while a CALM WOMAN REPORTS WHAT'S GOING ON and you never cut outside...and I'm NOT KIDDING!!!!

The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

Forever shaking my head at Disney for committing #GalaxysEdge to the #StarWars sequel era instead of setting Batuu ambiguously enough that they could change the time period with set dressing. They could also have set the DL and DW versions in different times to give people a reason to visit both.

Did you know in most old RPGs the world isn't actually round If you can go out the top of the map and emerge at the bottom that would imply the world is a torus

The funny thing here is that this is the most amazing advertising someone selling curses on Etsy could hope for.

Important #Rapture question: Do you think we leave behind our clothes in a pile, or does God want to see our outfit of the day? And, if the former, are the clothes strewn willy-nilly or folded neatly?

As I was saying…

if you can look at it without catching poster’s madness, the list of who actually gets engagement here is pretty interesting. somewhat dire at the top but quickly it’s real and high quality posters. bluefacts.app/top-reach

I’ve been writing detective comics for a long time now, so I know when a close up magician has been pushed into a canal.

One downside to audiobooks is sometimes you're not entirely sure about a name. Not a spoiler: There's a throwaway line in Nemesis Games — book five of #TheExpanse — about a group calling themselves the [Acadian/Arcadian/Akkadian] Front. All three of those would be interesting allusions!

If you want to keep sending #Disney important signals, watch #JimmyKimmel tonight if you have access, or play whatever clips they post from tonight’s show online. Some links… abc.com/show/9bfe2f4...

So…when Thanos snapped half of everything, were there religious zealots trying to argue that it was a Rapture instead?

You know, I think people need to bring up just how terrified the right were of gay marriage and how exactly nothing bad has happened, and call them little whiny crybaby pissants

Has anyone checked on the Rapture people? Has the crashout started yet?

Just had a fun idea: Small towns should do a group photo on the last day of the year. Position a photographer at a good angle on the town center or a park and tell people to show up by noon if they want to be included. Publish the town photo on New Year’s Day.

If the #Rapture was a rolling update, not a simultaneous worldwide rollout, what would that say about the nature of God? Would that call into question his omnipotence? His preference for certain time zones?

There was a LAW & ORDER episode about an email service for sending goodbye emails when the rapture happens but they all got sent by mistake and one of them confessed to a murder. It was a plot that perfectly captured the mindset of the kind of harmful narcissists who think they're gonna be raptured.

doomers: there’s not going to be elections in America ever again me: if they can’t even cancel an entertainer due to popular pushback what the fuck makes you think they can cancel elections

I take some small amusement at the fact that, even though he's wrong about Tylenol, RFK Jr is pissing off anyivaxxers, including a group that he founded.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks
