The two genders

You know I have a lot of problems with LA, but I'm sorry, the fact that I can pay $1 for a ticket to a Minnie Riperton tribute at the Hollywood Bowl, and then Maya Rudolf escorts out Stevie Wonder for a surprise encore is an objectively awesome thing that wouldn't happen anywhere else.

This is every #1 hit from 2025 in the United States. What a pathetic showing, Jesus fucking Christ...

I have autism. I have also accomplished more in my first quarter century on Earth than most neurotypical people do in their whole lives. I NEVER would have accomplished those things if I didn't obsessively pursue my interests with my weird autistic brain & an amazing family who supported it.

"Tylenol causes autism" is wrong. It's *obviously* wrong. It's important to emphasize this is objectively a lie. But moreso it needs to be driven home that people spewing this shit think autism is some horrible thing that needs to be cured and that you're a defective and inferior human if you have.

The way I describe my sexuality to people is "I haven't found a better word for it than straight yet."

trains are magic and it’s so embarrassing that the richest country in the history of the world is all “high speed rail? nah we don’t need it”

Not surprised. Are you?

Well there was a Buzz Lightyear movie that implied lesbians existed so now I hope you understand

Ok no, but he literally does represent us. Like objectively speaking, that's what the word "represent" means. You can make all the excuses you want to, but we need to face the fact head on that however we got here, Donald Trump IS the man who represents what America is right now.

I was initially gonna respond to this saying "because their mothers took Tylenol while pregnant with them," but that felt too soon. It's a day later, it doesn't feel too soon anymore

We know, WE KNOW

Hey, just a quick reminder that no matter how fucking insane the world gets, making art is one of the most noble and worthwhile pursuits a human being can undertake, and the world is vastly improved by the sharing of your creations, whatever they may be.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Is it bad that it's been less than 12 hours and "I've got a headache, gotta go give myself some more autism real quick" is already part of my vocabulary

"Please Please Please" didn't Sabrina Carpenter's signature song, but "don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice" might just be Sabrina Carpenter's signature lyric.

As the nation breathes a collective sigh of relief that we won't have to continue pretending to love Jimmy Kimmel

Just putting this perspective up here: Disney lost between $3.5-4bn this past week. That is enough money to fund NEH at current levels for almost 17 years. One company lost this much in less than 7 days.

Don’t forget to lock up your cars, bars, and guitars tonight. 🛸

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

After reading the number of artists who threatened to boycott working with Disney over Kimmel, I realized something that gave me a bit of hope: No nation in history has ever had more soft power than the United States, and most of the keys to that soft power fucking hate the Trump regime.

Autism, mostly 🤷‍♂️

I feel like this is something we all know, but I just want to emphasize how profoundly, intensely, mind-bendingly, INCOMPREHENSIBLY stupid this present moment is gonna look like in the history textbooks.

Don't get me wrong, this situation is insane and I'm absolutely THRILLED that the blowback was this intense, but I'm sorry, people talking about Jimmy goddamn Kimmel like he's some revolutionary thought leader will never not be absolutely hysterical to me.

the niche music critic YouTubers I’m subscribed to regularly get more than 26k views in two days this is the most astroturfed political moment in history

RFK Jr. Warns Mistress That Condoms Cause Autism https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-warns-mistress-that-condoms-cause-autism/

placing my bet in the “solution to autism” is to just stop allowing testing for it and placing people currently diagnosed with it on a list

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

we have to remember that fast food chains are a battleground for politics because the average community center in small conservative cities are fast food restaurants and that’s all they can base their personalities on

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

That video was probably only good because Saberspark presumably didn't find any of the Jesus Vegetables to be sexually attractive.

It is SO fucking obvious to me that Saberspark's main perspective on this touchstone of counter cultural meta-commentary is "Damn, if this is famous sex movie, why it not my peepee happy? 🥺🥺🥺" Saberspark is the epitome of everything embarrassing about YouTube critics, truly what I strive to not be.

I just realized that "you think you the shit, you ain't even the fart" is the highest-charting song hit that Ice Spice ever had that wasn't a collboration. That woman's career is gonna be one for the history books in all the most ridiculous ways, I tell you...

I'm not ready to mentally process the fact that next year, the same amount of time will have past since the second Spongebob movie (2015-2026) than did between the first and second Spongebob Movies (2004-2015)

I said this earlier this year, but just to reiterate: highly recommend taking the time to read an annotated U.S. Constitution and Thomas Paine's Common Sense. We've all read them before, but the refresher is way more edifying than you'd think — especially ahead of the 250th anniversary of the US.

My toxic masculine trait is using "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits to test every new sound system I buy.

The degree to which the entire creative community is massing against Disney right now should not be underestimated. There are people who are staying silent because they don't want to make it more difficult for Iger to walk this back. If he doesn't, I believe things will get much noisier.

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.

I think my favorite was one guy who commented saying "wow, you must be embarassed for calling Try That In A Small Town a lynching anthem now that we see what a REAL lynching anthem looks like, huh?" I don't even know why I bother sometimes.

It's a bit disquieting how many comments I've gotten over the past few days saying something to the effect of "wow, I bet you feel like an idiot for being harsher on this song than Romantic Homicide, huh?" And... no? Not at all? Like, what point are you even trying to make here?

The Mario Kart World soundtrack is like if they took the Stickerbrush Symphony remix from Super Smash Bros Brawl and then did that about 500 more times in a row.

Billy Joel’s most sinister hit was released on this day in 1983

Messy by Lola Young is basically the America Ferrera monologue from Barbie if it was said by an actual human being.

The GenZ mind cannot comprehend the I Dream of Jeannie/Bewitched Power Hour. An entire ½hr of Veteran & Submissive Magic Wife Who Leaves When Your Friends Show Up followed by Salaryman & Mischievous Magic Wife Whose Mother Never Leaves These were The Two Lifestyles. And we used to masturbate to it

This is on my mind today specifically because of what I put at #7.
