Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

he’d never wear socks with my picture on them and therein lies the disbalance

HELLO. Tonight, a bunch of celebrities (Marc Evan Jackson, John Hodgman, Janet Varney, Erika Ishii, etc.) are performing a live script-reading of the Muppets Take Manhattan for charity....CO-NARRATED BY A CERTAIN TALL GIRL (me) You can still get livestream tickets here: veeps.com/dynastytypew...

Much like Hillsborough, you have to marvel at how Britain as a system is so utterly impervious to accountability: decades of orchestrated bullshit, legal shenanigans and institutional roadblocks, and then one final great rasping fart of “maybe it was elves that did it, and fuck you”.

One thing I always love about Hammer is they have this beautiful woman playing a vampire and then they have her in a diaphanous gown, but then once you have the vampire reveal she's acting like an angry possum

And regardless of whether or not cool guy based leftists like me care, the Democrats fucking should, because their base sure does, and they should be making a huge fucking stink about it. I don't know if they are or not because I can't find my TV remote.

Yeah I could give a fuck about the ~symbols of our democracy~ or whatever, it's just the latest example of how Trump can literally do whatever he wants and no one - no one - is even putting up a half-assed fight to stop it.

and nothing bad ever happens on the beach episode!!

If you see a homeless person or encampment, no you didn't. If you see someone doing illegal drugs, no you didn't. Cop comes to your door, don't answer stfu. Thrown in back of cop car, stfu. Cop interrogates you asking you if you talk to your comrades, no you didn't and stfu.

I don't like to dress cats up in clothes, but for Halloween I do put stealth costumes on Francie when she's sleeping.

At the most recent No Kings, i actually saw a “No kings but short kings” sign (being carried by a short king). 😃

T minus 11. An #ApocalypseWorldBurnedOver thread. In case you were wondering what we're cooking up in #AW3rd edition.

:taps sign; The second we confiscate wealth above, say, $10M, we can instantly forget these fuckers’ names.

This is the new PG version of calling a group of two people the blowjob brothers

openai are disgusting freaks

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

A person on Mastodon mentioned that it is very interesting Microsoft is enabling code that surveils and reports home what you're doing inside video games during a period a cultural soft ban on adult video games is being introduced. This is doubly interesting because Microsoft owns LinkedIn.

it's a good time to repost this

i think of them

Thanks so much, Cats of Yore! I draw all kinds of pop culture stuff, and here's my most recent: Space Cats! thejoshshop.etsy.com

GOD why are you so fucking CUTE

Canada has made its national school food programme a permanent part of the federal budget. The initiative will provide healthy meals to up to 400,000 additional children while supporting local producers. buff.ly/j9ZkCRB #ShareGoodNewsToo

this is actually a solid case study in why ‘just go into the trades’ is a bunch of foolishness: if you don’t know how to think or organize your thoughts or god forbid memorize then you’ll be just as much of a failure in jobs that don’t require a college degree as you will in jobs that do

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

This headline is like when arch-Zionists talk about wanting "peace" Like okay nice word but what does "peace" materially look like to you, motherfucker I've got a feeling we have different conceptions of that word

I am begging the mainstream media to talk less about the East Wing & more about the loss of SNAP funding for the next few days. The East Wing is gone. We can’t change that. We *can* help people prepare for the loss of SNAP. We can urge folks to donate to food banks. We can give them warning.

sturm UND drang? in this economy?

There's a dwindling but terrifying number of people willing to overlook/forgive Graham Platner's participation in the decimation and humiliation of Iraq just because he claims to care about Palestine Wonder how they'd feel about a regretful ex-IDF guy with a giant "KILL THE ARABS" chest tat

Frantically taping all the leaves back on the trees, thinking it was something I did that made them fall off

segurança em primeiro lugar

eu sou todo doidinho 😛😛😛

Feliz cumpleanos, Pauline Black. 🥳🎉🎈

Baltimore strong!

One of the things I love about the Baltimore community fridge network is that ppl leave bulk items, others pick it up & make ready to eat meals that go back into the fridges. Ppl source from bakeries, giveaways, coupons, garden overflow, etc. Gathers & cookers collaborate.

tear it down and add a new smithsonian

i honestly dont get why anyones pretending to care about the white house lol that place is a piece of shit

I don't have any stakes in the wellbeing of the whitehouse. but you have to admit. it's wild that he's just knocking down the whitehouse

A tote bag of Red Ring Rico from Phantasy Star Online might be the most unexpected piece of gaming merch I’ve seen this year

I'm Joey. I am trans and non-binary. I have been on feminising HRT for nearly four years. I know how scary, confusing, and challenging navigating identity and gender-affirming care can be. My DMs are always open. Let me help you since nobody helped me. #lgbtq #nonbinary #nb #trans

then we'd cut to Batman and he'd look right at the reader and say "I think that was cool and I endorse it happening to real Nazis in reality. that's right I know about reality. I am a comic man stuck in a comic."

the entire issue was Jason assembling a rifle while in the background an uncut far-right rally speech went on and on and on. no other dialogue. then three pages of silence as he tries to escape. Jason is cornered and puts a gun to his head. cut to black. gunshot.

anyway my outline for the series, which after the first year is not under NDA, ended with Red Hood assassinating the president on live TV

"i think you know it's a little more complicated than that" no it isn't.

you don't often get to tell the rich to their faces (or over the phone) that they're moral cowards hiding behind the vague, amoral cloak of capitalism. it rules.

You know, whatever else there is to say about DC comics firing me, I have to say it felt deeply satisfying to tell a suit, "I get it, it's important to keep the faceless mob of Nazis happy"
