How is Aura Mayari the only queen that knows you aren't supposed to wash chicken?? The rest are rinsing their sinks with salmonella. Explains a lot.

I don’t care how gay you are, double down.

If you've ever complained that movies these days don't have enough color, you damn well better go see I LOVE BOOSTERS in theater (ditto if you've ever played the video game Portal, read Hegel, or shoplifted)

The line in Drake's new album, "I won't do psychedelics because I'm too scared of unpacking" is interesting. If I was a boring artist and there was something that could make me less boring that I didn't feel like doing, I would not admit that.

Lifehack: don’t buy a new charging cable. Go to any Planet Fitness’ front desk and say you’re pretty sure you left your cord and they’ll pull out a huge pile of em. Take one that fits your needs. The girls at my gym give me one every time my cable shits out. You’re saving money and the environment.

Pre-2015 Tumblr users, rejoice

Interesting quirk of X, the everything app, is that you can't report someone for impersonation unless the person they're impersonating is also an X user. So you can't, for example, report for impersonation a user pretending to be Lars Von Trier spewing transphobic hate

There’s a glaring historical inaccuracy in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film of The Odyssey: they didn’t have cameras back then. Theatres should have a blank screen and an old man reading out the script

When I started debating this straw man I didn't expect to fall in love.

its hard to describe how seminal CBS Radio was in the creation of the entertainment industry. One little detail is this-- the very concept of residuals for creators/performers came about at CBS Radio because of how nationalizing/syndicating radio changed the value of a live vs recorded program
