I’ve never met a boss in my life who wants you to answer honestly when they ask you to answer honestly.

“You’ve used up your one free article for the decade. You should have thought of that before you clicked the link in that article with no way of knowing it wouldn’t open a new tab. Now you have to pay to finish the thing you were just looking at.”

“In my day, women didn’t have to work.” Then explain your mom’s job.

I hope this week in academia reminds you that authority figures are by-and-large no smarter than you are.

I did not just put out a bunch of online Canvas fires to also worry about hantavirus, so fuck you.

I bet this is a much better read!

Thought I’d fuck around and check out the entire Cadillacs & Dinosaurs franchise. Mark Schultz is an excellent artist who fully channels the EC Comics style he’s going for. But there’s not much meat on the bones of the premise. I have no idea how they wrung a cartoon and two video games out of this.

This story takes place in a tower on the sea. I keep getting distracted by the tower’s shape.

Imagine going back 40 years and saying, “Someday the United States will get a significant fraction of its news from AI-generated LEGO videos from the Muslim theocracy it’s at war with. Who‘s the president? I cannot overstate how much you don’t want to know.”

Thought I’d check out the Cadillacs & Dinosaurs franchise because I never did as a kid. “Oh by the way this game involved an even worse human being than those guys who did Earthworm Jim.”

The news has been confusing for me, for I too am a brown recluse.

What the fuck happened that a moderator was like, “Pull-down cloths are too much for this group”?

Are you, Chief Justice John Roberts, mad that people drew a conclusion based on all available evidence? If only you knew someone who does that for a living. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

What if I told you the actual best version of Cinderella is a porn film from 1977?

Ted Turner probably did do a lot of good in the world. I agree with many of his positions. But I struggle to believe it offsets having a net worth in the billions and playing a major role in the shitshow our fourth estate has become.

Watching Double Indemnity and gnashing my teeth that he mentioned that a palatial Spanish-style mansion in Glendale was valued at $30,000. I know that’s more than $700,000 now but still.

I should probably watch this decade’s Mortal Kombat films but modern adaptations are too afraid of corniness. I imagine those two films are four hours of solid anus. A video game film is like trying something new in the sack: you need a sense of humor about the inevitable awkwardness.

Dishonoring Ted Turner’s memory by cranking down my TV’s saturation.

You’re telling me this Indian mixed rice dish is made of beer AND Yanni?

In the original Japanese, Kyoshika (whose name is a pun for 今日しか: ”except today”) has a speech pattern associated with samurai. I love her because she’s a dimwit, like Synclaire James in Living Single.

The endearing thing about KMFDM is how many songs they have where they mention their name. I like a band who are not afraid to celebrate how kickass they are here and there, as a treat. Celebrate yourself!

@stabbinsmcgee.bsky.social once told me that he admired the way I have of getting joy out of life. I took it for the compliment it was. It goes without saying that it’s been really hard to find my joy the past two years. I want my joy back and I’m going to find it, dammit!

“You have an 8 hour flight. Which celebrity are you sitting next to?” One who can only afford last class?

Thinking about getting back into Disgaea, or as it’s pronounced outside of Italy, “this guy.”

FIFA is lighting a Rudy-Giuliani-shaped candle in their logo.

I don’t trust Red Delicious apples for the same reason I don’t trust Johnny NotRacist.

Fun Fact: Like most celebrities who know what’s good for them, Adam Sandler keeps his mouth shut about politics in public. The one political donation specified on Wikipedia was to Rudy Giuliani.

Reading Fist of the North Star in Japanese. This marauder is saying the guy he just mugged has a bunch of cash, which wouldn’t even be useful as toilet paper. Boy, they sure underestimated the future scarcity of toilet paper.

I ♥️ my cat. I ♠️ my cat. My cat would ♣️ me for a ♦️.

I’ll just admit it: I always confuse David Geffen with Bob Geldof.

Found the original “world’s saddest IMDb page” Reddit thread and it is still gold. www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com...

Okay! This one comes highly recommended by @jamielittleflower.bsky.social: 2017 political black-comedy film The Death of Stalin, from Armando Iannucci, based on a graphic novel, La Mort de Staline. Buscemi plays Kruschev, which was what hooked me. Here goes! Stay tuned as we #LiveSky 🤓 #FilmSky 📽️

Only a matter of time before one of you kids steals this sign.

Just changed my Letterboxd username to match here, so how’s a good time to follow me. letterboxd.com/StabbinsMcGee/

Well, right about now, David Allan Coe is finally hearing his name from Jesus.

When I think of soccer, I think of a bald man with a candle for a neck.

Love this beat in Star Trek where Khan whacks a guy so hard he blows the crotch out of his pants

Every time I hear that something is polarizing—you either love it or you hate it—I end up thinking it’s mid. For example, The Blair Witch Project.

My school is voting on whether to put small units of students in small educational spherical buildings, or “Ed Balls.”

Please don't let me die tonight. Even $1 or $5 pushes me closer to getting these meds in my hands so I can survive this. Cash App: $tamilove21 Venmo: @tamilove21 PayPal: tamilove21 Please repost and share this thread. I cannot do this alone.

How hard am I going in my solved translation of the Suneung (수능)? The site I copy-pasted my existing work from doesn’t process smart quotes. I just manually changed every ' to ’ just to prevent anyone from incorrectly concluding that I used AI.

There should be one day a year we get to diagnose doctors. “Have you tried losing weight?”

The Warriors would have gotten home a lot safer if they’d had a ballroom.

You are being robbed, America.

Reading about Vicky the Viking, which might have partially inspired One Piece. I don’t want to think about who on this poster has the “Grosser Fahrt.”

If it was staged, he wasn’t in on it. He’d have demanded too many edits to the manifesto.

"Two In The Bush" (1976). A disastrous attempt to put Conrad's 'Heart Of Darkness' erotically on screen in the Marquesas Islands. With Sylvia Kristel as Colonel Kuntz.

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization
