THANK GOD there are no baby queens this season !

Must we do this again

and much of the time, a certain kind of "political understanding" is really just a guise for a kind of celebrity culture, a fascination with specific personalities and their idiosyncrasies

my experience is that the people who position themselves as particularly astute and well-informed on politics are often the least so (or, at the very least, they have a variety of unexamined assumptions and a tendency to mindlessly regurgitate various cliches without realizing it)

most americans do not pay attention to politics. this includes americans who claim they care about politics

"God help him if he gets a little lip filler!": Millie Bobby Brown responds to fans alleging Vecna is "on Ozempic" in Stranger Things season 5

The one thing worse than Vecna? A mid-coma Spotify ad. Lucas, seriously, upgrade to Premium! #strangerthings #netflix #maxmayfield #lucassinclair #tvshow #tv #runningupthathill #katebush #spotify #fyp #viral #trendy #cooledtured #podcast #gamer #humor #hollywood #funny #comedy

This had been pretty obvious to anyone who understands screenwriting for years now.

Vecna 🤩

If The Green Knight appeared before me and my uncle and his friends and promised that whatever I did to him he would repay me in one years time I would simply give him an ice cold Modelo Especial.

I can't stop seeing George Santos every time I see this guy

Monument to the Unknown Bureaucrat, Reykjavik — Magnús Tómasson, 1994

Yule Cat gonna fuck you up

America: If you are bad you will get coal for Christmas Iceland: If you don’t get new clothes before Christmas you will be eaten by the giant monstrous Yule Cat

Well also in all honesty The Pandemic was not nearly apocalyptic enough to really test any of those ideas out. 99% of people lived through it as opposed to one where only 1% did.

We all need more Fosse in our lives

me dressed up and exercising at the airport before my 8 hour flight

Patti Smith's 2012 version of "After the Gold Rush" is fantastic, but her sixty-something vocals sound *exactly* like Richard O'Brien doing "Science Fiction/Double Feature". Seriously, just picture Patricia Quinn's massive disembodied lips syncing to this:

Oh no it’s like evil Lincoln

How is collective bargaining not covered by the federal constitution?

Labor unions are celebrating the repeal of Utah’s ban on public employee collective bargaining and thanking voters for signing on to their referendum: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

This headline got me all exited that Elizabeth Warren was going to fight The Batman.

Heated Rivalry but it’s just two gay flight attendants on rival airlines.

The best part of the Delta flight is when my husband Nate tells me safety is the shared responsibility of everyone on board then he takes me to the lavatory and we get it on

Uplift the peasants, by force if necessary. Smash the gentry.

I'm developing a kind of cosmopolitan-chauvinism, I guess you could call it anti-feudalism, as a through line in my politics. The peasant-brained and the local landed gentry are the enemy. Sort of funny that this could describe being either rabidly capitalist or communist.

True free market capitalism appreciators have common causes with communists tbh. "100% tax on inheritance because you didn't work for that money" is in my view my most capitalistic belief but people think it's socialist

Based based based based based

J’adore A Whore

Kinda crazy how Bud Selig almost killed MLB.

Roger Clemens should not be in the Hall of Fame !

California should have 100 million people in it minimum.

Gay people are gonna do what gay people do

everyone in chat has to pinky promise to be really cool and chill today this is like my sabrina carpenter

Post your dream ride 😈😇😚

Linda Hamilton is so hot

you don't get to fuck the elephants and cover the circus, that's like the most basic journalistic ethics imaginable and I'm sorry I don't care if the elephants were dominating and patriarchal or whatever, if those are insurmountable obstacles for you why do you have the prestige job

just a total abdication of the notion that being in position of power should carry with it any responsibility at all. all that matters is your personal #brand and #journey

lol Katy Perry dating Justin Trudeau is a recession indicator

I remember one saying Biden was president. It’s like how art forgeries are nearly impossible now for pre-WWII art cuz the atom bomb made dating them easier.

I love these snapshots of old training dates, it's about as close as you can get to proving objectively that something is very very wrong with the country. The machine built by feeding it decades of data and news stories is like "shut the fuck up, that shit can't be true." Immune to frog boiling.

I get kind of sad that our cyberpunk we've got is basically Bleak and Kind of Stupid.

erica is the real star of the show tbh

This is how the economy works now. You kiss the ass of the top guy, he throws you favors. There is no ideology here, it's just mafia rules, the oldest rules in the book.

Nothing says getting into the festive spirit like going online to shout at some biscuits
