Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

thrilled to inform you that in the proud populist tradition of opera, the family production of magic flute at the met includes papageno counting 1, 2, … 6-7… 3 uproarious applause and laughter

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Not sure about this new Fahrenheit 451 remake. Rather than burning books, they've banned sick burns. It's a disstopia.

The only upside of making ISPs sever internet access for illegal downloads is that the next AI company to torrent training data has their internet permanently shut off. And that’s still a terrible idea.

The reason it's Five Nights at Freddy's and not One Week is because of unions. Remember what labor rights got you.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

What we have learned across Godzilla, Rogue One, and The Creator is that Gareth Edwards is fantastic at making a certain kind of extended battle sequence utterly captivating, and that his films come alive in these scenes. Because otherwise, they are sort of lifeless.

This cover raises the important question: Why didn’t Superman ever use the cool S on his costume?

So... spells. We're using spells to undo the work we've done... tricking rocks into thinking with lightning. And trapping evil cars in circles of salt. The old ways are new again.

"All we get is one life, and there are too many books" is going on the family quote wall next to "Willful, but naive" and related bangers.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

nothing says you’re kicking ass at Buddhism quite like having an insatiable desire for something

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming by the perimeter fence day to all who celebrate. A solemn 30 second screaming before vanishing will take place at 11am.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

AIPAC sucks, supports genocide, and is a hub for Christian Zionists as much as anyone. *And* at the same time: When you vaguepost like this about issues unrelated to Israel suggesting an org associated with Judaism is to blame, you are at least FLIRTING with antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Attempt it over four days in May every year and no other time. Trust me. I speak from experience.

Do you love the Chicago Public Library? Do you not want to wait weeks for books? Do you still want to be able to go to programs? Send a letter to electeds ! In the budget, Brandon Johnson is proposing 89 cuts to positions, and cutting our book budget in half. actionnetwork.org/letters/no-l...

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

This is a great idea

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

It's a Chicago holiday

We watched gremlins 2 tonight, which my wife had never seen. Going from the film to Key and Peele to this was pretty great.

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires. There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

Wild that I've always lived in a cow tools world

CHOTINER: So you asked for a Birkin bag? KOKO: Yes. Possession Bag. CHOTINER: And you had the funds to acquire this? KOKO: No, Professor Purchase Koko Gorilla CHOTINER: That doesn't sound like the funds were justifiable. KOKO: Hostility Interviewer

Learning this was a major stepping stone in my relationship. As was the shameful day that I processed "kaka" and "masi" were not inherently part of the actual people's names.

Cursed product thought: Gojo skincares line. “It exfoliates!”

I can hear Guillermo del Toro saying this, as well as the exact cadence in which he'd say it.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I’m a real adult now (ordered a case of wine that the local liquor store doesn’t carry, because I like it)

They should invent a way out that isn't through

Congratulations to Vajra Chandrasekera (@vajra.me), recipient of the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction for Rakesfall! Chandrasekera's book was chosen by authors Matt Bell, Indra Das, Kelly Link, Sequoia Nagamatsu, and Rebecca Roanhorse.

Hi judge expert here this isn't funny judges only do this when they're in extreme distress

Turtle Mutual Aid:

*deep breath* The term Judeo-Christian is somehow both antisemitic and Islamophobic: it reduces Judaism to Christianity's predecessor on the one hand and implies only two Abrahamic religions on the other, when there are (at least) three

STATLER; "This funeral is so boring, I'm jealous of the guy in the coffin! Ah ha ha ha ha!" [Statler turns to the empty chair next to him and sheds one tear]

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation. Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.
