Look, the man's almost 75 years old, this is a skill issue

Daughter is watching S2 of Buffy. As Spike, Drusilla and Angelus interact, she asked, "does girl wanna be in a throuple or something?" How do you explain to a 13-year-old that technically girl wants to be in an _extremely toxic_ throuple

FWIW I made a good faith effort to use an AI platform at work for one of the supposedly useful things it can do, pulling some top-level info from a ton of data. Awful. Created more work than it saved, and I had to do it all over myself anyway because I could spot glaring errors in its results.

Grown-up Buffy Summers visiting Ireland, finding out they sell cheap Claddagh rings for like €5 on Grafton Street, and realizing her high school boyfriend maybe wasn't as magically romantic as she thought

I'm always saying, the problem with the world is that aging boomers have not been adequately expose to The Beatles. It's the one thing we haven't tried.

I think everyone should know that there's a Silver Surfer comic where aliens find the Voyager golden records, and they're like "YOU FOOLS, THIS IS THE INFORMATION WE NEEDED TO ENSLAVE YOUR PEOPLE," and Carl Sagan, overcome with guilt, gives his life to stop them.

Multiple public EV chargers in my area are broken right now, in what critics are calling, "a stirring metaphor"

I don't want social media. I want a site where people post good-looking meals, and if you reply, "ah damn that looks nice" they give you the recipe.

I have no horse in arguments about newer Star Trek series, only one thought about this general era of entertainment: the next show that really grabs you like your favorite Star Trek did probably won't be from an established IP, and you should stop looking to them for that.

Wheeling a whiteboard into a Labour leadership meeting, with, "a trail of his favorite snacks, leading to a trebuchet" written on it, then collecting my seven figure consulting fee, well earned.

I'm sure Alec Baldwin has never had any problem getting dates, but I'm also pretty sure his 30 Rock contract let him pick female celebrities for his character to make out with

(looking smugly at bed sheets covered in shit) haters gonna hate

This is subjective obviously, but I don't think MODOK is attractive enough for his base to be called Hot Mouth Island (canon)

Mark Gruenwald must have been absolutely beloved by his coworkers, because his end of life wishes—to have his ashes mixed with the ink to reprint one of his comics—is the most singularly insane request I've ever heard made of an employer, and they fuckin did it

Has there ever been a man more likely to open a rap with, "and I'm here to say?" He'd probably think he was the first guy to ever come up with it.

Jughead, you have a problem

I'm sure this is broadly common knowledge, but it's only just reached me that Tim Russ, the actor who plays Tuvok on Voyager, is the guy in Spaceballs who, while combing the desert, shouts, "We ain't found shit!" and I am losing my mind a little.

UK live election blogs are actually pretty great, because there's legal constraints on what they can publish while polls are open, so the live updates are like "check out this photo of a dog at the polling station." And hell yeah, look at that little guy.

immediately hearing this in the barenaked ladies “one week” voice

If a 60s superhero cartoonist watched this he'd go home and create a character whose whole gimmick was throwing triangles at criminals.

O'Donnells hot honey crisps have the Illoumalnati seal of approval. "That's the good stuff." ™

(Norman Rockwell guy) I don't know why anyone goes on cruises. Every time I hear about one it's because it turned into a floating plague pit. I'm sure the shuffleboard is kinda fun.

(finding out there's a really terrible Daredevil story everyone hates) oh yeah? (thumbing through Marvel Unlimited) really terrible, huh (opening the reading guide) not even ironically fun, how about that

Really glad I got a Duke Phillips joke in last week, feel like I got ahead of the curve on that one

Young Sheldon: Origins

66% of people agree "Immigrants contribute to our culture and we're all the better for having them here", up from 64% in 2024. - 77% believe people seeking international protection should be supported to become part of the communities they live in.

I hate when being tough on immigration is framed as a practical necessity, as if there weren't major extremely recent and ongoing examples of governments trying to fiddle with the racism dial just enough to outflank the right then getting completely washed in the next election.

I'm new to the country and I feel like I have to be missing something in Hutch's career arc. Was there a second act between "organized crime figure" and "political candidate?" I'm previously from Chicago and Providence, my tolerance for this pipeline is high, and it still seems nuts.

They added 30 Rock to Irish Netflix, and man, I love the gag where Liz has a flashback in the first half, then someone else remembers the same event in the back half of the episode and in their memory Liz is a jerk and her date is less attractive. Always works.

Thank you to the gay porn account that liked this post, I assume on the strength of the phrase "handsome boy." The post, however, is about my poorly behaved terrier.

Stranger on the street just told me it's a shame my dog is neutered because he's a handsome boy and would have been a good breeding dog. Thhhank yoouu?

I managed to manifest Taco Bell into Ireland, I'm now putting a hand to my forehead and casting "Jet's Pizza in Ireland" into the universe. There are multiple Detroit-style places in Dublin and Marks and Spencer is selling a bullshit frozen imitation, it would work

Strive to one day love something as much as my daughter now loves Rocky from Project Hail Mary

(waking up shirtless in Ra's al Ghul's palace) this is not my beautiful house; this is not my beautiful wife

Taking my daughter to Free Comic Book Day tomorrow, a thing we've done every year since she was little, and I could see that for the first time she was like, "ehhhh it'll make dad happy." We probably do this like one or two more times, tops. Don't care for this aging thing she insists on doing tbh

Steve Gerber in the 70s, having a seizure that gives him a crystal-clear vision of a future he can't fully comprehend, but he spends the rest of his career trying to communicate it to others.

I'm not against techy public features as a matter of principle... like people love the Portal. It's fun and cool and generally improves the experience of walking around downtown. This fuckin "Vegas sphere meets the Duke Phillips Hospital"-ass public feature, though, Christ.

Very hard to imagine something broadly cooler in concept than Jack Kirby drawing an adaptation of The Prisoner.

Studio executives in early 2025 thinking the right-wing cultural revolution is nigh, running around greenlighting the dumbest projects imaginable like Kent Brockman unhesitatingly pledging fealty to the ants

Is that how Charles cited him in the speech? I'm gonna be honest, I can see the King of England using "deviant Irish" as a compound adjective.

Well well well, looks like SOMEONE regrets scraping every single post from tumblr

There is no road from LA to Tokyo. You cannot drive in the fast lane between these cities, no matter how fancy you are. It is the great equalizer.

In Ireland, we don’t say “I love you”, we say “Mo ghrá go deo” which means “I will love you for as long as it takes them to finish building the Children’s Hospital” and i think that’s beautiful

Using a Tesco bag at Lidl. Call the Gardaí, I don't care.

I like how the combination of the phrasing and the preview image makes it look like cats and dogs have been the ones doing this stuff to each other.

Spent my afternoon making a goddamn Sunday roast. Yorkshire puddings still in the oven.

If you're in the top-front-center apartment, you're the captain of the building. Everyone else has to salute when you visit the common areas.
