honestly it's insane that we still let people bring up the bible as a source in debates. okay well I don't believe in that and this is the real world

Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead

nothin makes millennials sound like old cranky turds more than like complaining about younger people wearing nirvana shirts. girl I am one of the oldest millennials and I was 12 when that dude killed himself. don't pretend you ain't some baby poseur too

I have been trying to explain a microfiche machine to one of my dear, brilliant, talented, but clearly too young to be alive collaborators. And it is taking the last of my soul. “Micro…fish?? I have never heard that word in my life.” I recorded the timestamp so it can be put on my tombstone.

Scream us a song, you're the Piano Man A song from the darkness beneath With your piano wire hair and your soul-chilling stare And your eighty-eight black and white teeth

This but for adults, too. We don’t need TVs everywhere and we don’t need Top 100 radio blasted into literally every public space

“I left my wife, Nicole Kidman, because I was sick of her, Nicole Kidman, needing me to have sex with her, Nicole Kidman” do you hear yourself man

(comforting a kid at their dad's funeral) you know, your daddy always told me he wished he was dead (kid starts crying) he's uhh he's not though. he's fine. i saw him at the gas station. mommy told a lie

Actual photo of me when I'm asked to work an extra hour.

The Proud Boys stopped marching because they were all recruited into ICE. "Stand back and stand by," indeed.

If I’m “playing” a game, the amount of time that I want to spend “watching” a story with the controller in my lap is ZERO.

My hot take is that video games should stop trying to be movies, and movies should stop trying to be video games.

Murdering kids is wrong. Zip-tying kids is wrong. Starving kids is wrong. Marrying kids is wrong. Raping kids is wrong. Just a few common sense things that I never a million years thought would be controversial.

i went through my childhood for *this*?

I ordered four bananas from the grocery store tonight, and they delivered four BUNCHES of bananas, so now I have, like, 20 bananas.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

I have a student this semester who appears to have based his entire look on Moe, the bully from Calvin and Hobbes

Not only have I seen all of these, I own *almost* all of them on disc (not a Ferris guy; I hate that movie)

The new TRON is the third TRON movie where I own the soundtrack without ever having seen the movie in a theater. This NIN album for ARES is my score of the year, hands-down.

When my youngest was 2 she went through a year long phase where she was terrified of worms coming in through her window, after a nightmare where that happened, and when we would carry her to bed she would scream “But the worms! The worms!” 🪱

As a longtime listener this was genuinely thrilling and delightful

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

For me it’s the same but it’s my hips that let me know

My weird take is that I have never really been uncomfortable during a sex scene in a movie or TV show. I’ve seen them alone, with my parents, with my (older) kids, with strangers, and with my actual sex partner. I’m always just like “hell yeah” 👍

I don't understand people who hate kids. yes they can be annoying but so can you. in fact you're more annoying considering you've made hating kids a core aspect of your personality. the kids are doing their best in a shitty situation. the world is fucked. be nice to the kids. they'll be adults soon

You know, I never smoked much, didn't smoke for long, and haven't smoked at all for nearly 30 years. But every now and then I'll walk by someone who is smoking and have a craving hit. Hell of a drug, nicotine.

Why does this read like a tweet written by Trump?

I’m just finishing DUNE: CHAPTERHOUSE and I really have to just say that I respect the fuck out of Frank Herbert for just getting hornier and hornier as he got older. Whole books about which space witch cult can *fuck* the best/hardest 🫡 🫡 🫡

Fuck these fuckers forever

Is it a bad sign (for me) that I just saw this and thought: “Fuck, guess I have to stay alive until at least November 7th”??

monday comin'

Currently listening Holy fuck this is good.

This is what infuriates me with the Right's attacks on higher ed: they are profoundly anti-student. They hold young people in contempt. They assume students mindlessly swallow anything they're told, that they cannot think for themselves. They couldn't be more wrong about what we and our students do.

The gap between what the right thinks happens on college campuses and what actually happens is absurd. I had some great students and some awful ones; we talked about some difficult topics, from sexual violence to capitalism to exploitation; it was fine. Nobody lost their shit, because we're adults.

For at least the last 10 years the Democratic Party has been Sideshow Bob with the rakes and it would be so funny if it weren’t, you know, really serious

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

DreamWorks' The Prince of Egypt: We consulted theologians from multiple cultures to ensure this film's events are depicted respectfully. Also DreamWorks' The Prince of Egypt: We added a couple of minor villains with no scriptural basis and gave them the film's entire racism quota. They're gay also.

I’m pretty much down for any movie set during medieval or renaissance times, with lots of castles, dungeons, moats, chains, dirty peasants, ladies in bustiers, swords, and dungeon-keepers with big ol’ warts or hairy moles. I eat that shit up. Gimme gimme gimme.

Being a reality-based, left-leaning person in America right now means constant, relentless gaslighting from all different directions. Just know that you aren’t actually taking crazy pills.

he was just some loudmouth. it’s been three days. let’s all move on.

1) Casino Royale (2006) 2) From Russia with Love 3) No Time to Die 4) Goldeneye 5) OHMSS 6) Living Daylights 7) Moonraker 8) TMWTGG 9) Spy Who Loved Me 10) World is Not Enough 11) For Your Eyes Only 12) View to a Kill 13) Tomorrow Never Dies 14) Live and Let Die 15) Goldfinger 16) Dr. No 1/2

I REFUSE to learn what a groypter, or whatever the fuck people are talking about, is. I simply won’t look it up and I won’t think about it even a moment further.

This is one of my most favorite photos that I’ve ever taken. It captures my daughter so perfectly, somehow, even though she is almost grown now

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

lol owned

Can’t sleep I keep thinking about how upsetting the VHS labels are in that one part of BARBARIAN

my brain when Salma Hayek shows up in Desperado
