I've said it before and I'll say it again: an individual deciding not to buy from a company they don't like isn't a boycott. Boycotts are organized!

5 shows to get to know me: • Severance • Twin Peaks • Steven Universe • Crazy Ex-Girlfriend • Revolutionary Girl Utena

genuinely wondering if the reason Trump is so vague and flipfloppy about Iran is that he has no day-to-day memory anymore

I'm honestly amazed by how good this looks. The fear comes from the architecture itself, not creepypasta monsters. Also, if you like this trailer, you should reed Aaron A. Reed's Subcutanean. I absolutely devoured this book a couple years ago! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hjd...

All this clavicle talk reminded me: I grew up on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and before I learned what the clavicle was called, I referred to it in my head as the "Marina Sirtis bone"

I know it's pronounced Florence /pju/ but my brain always wants to read it as Florence /pʌɣ/

in honor of April Fools' day, here are some of my best "what fool" jokes (🧵): what fool called it "shitposting" rather than "poste-merdernism" what fool called us "Ashkenazi Jews" rather than "the mandelbrot set" what fool called them "leather pups" rather than "subwoofers"

US government: "we need to artificially limit the amount of Adderall produced because ppl might get addicted!!!" Me, a person with ADHD: procrastinated on picking up my prescription for so long that they restocked it

Trans Day of That Time in College When You Tried to April Fool Someone by Saying You Were “Getting a Sex Change” Because Haha How Absurd But In the End It Turned Out You Were Only April Fooling Yourself

I don’t like cats April fool I like them a lot

What I *don't* think is a possibility is 5-4 Trump wins. We have ACB. We have Roberts. We almost certianly have Gorsuch (possibly as a concurrence). I CANNOT count to 5 on a Trump win here. So... good. I mean TERRIBLE that it's gottent his far. But good.

Great thread

And we are live. If you have a Criterion Channel subscription you should be able to find the series that we programmed on their main page. I hope that everyone enjoys the series and finds a new favorite.

this book is great! you should read it if you like magic realism, wry humor and unbearable drama queens!

betrayed! at the supreme court

Trans Day of Fuck You, I Won’t Do What You Tell Me

If you miss spending time on more than just four websites, go to bored.com

Phrases that have popped into my head as I was falling asleep: • bubblestick field • Greenbody Syndrome • not seasick slopes for sure • Remember, that flannel time? • Somebody’s Got to Live Through It • What is the made to order of a tofu bar • We got Yuuko’s ashes and a main grill ear gas tear dust

did I do this right

Is this "metahumor" in the room with you right now?

I once saw a YouTube video where someone rated all 50 US states' "welcome to _____" signs. It's a fun idea, but he had essentially zero ability to articulate why he felt the way he did, so he just described signs, over and over again, as either "classy" or "boring." Those aren't even opposites!

Incredible semantic shifts of “bust”: funeral pyre → tomb → urn for ashes → urn shaped like the dead person → sculpture of a person’s upper body → actual person’s upper body → bosom

I saw a meme suggesting that the non-urban parts of the US are nothing but strip malls. This country has a ton of problems, but lack of beautiful landscapes is not one of them!

It makes me sad to see so many people who I'm mostly culturally aligned with using the words "freak" and "weirdo" pejoratively, but at least "sicko" (affirming.jpg) has risen to take their place

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

The difference between porn and erotica is whether it’s spelled “cum” or “come”

Despite what you might have heard, avocados aren't named after testicles. But you what is? Orchids! The word comes from the Greek word for testicle, because their roots look like this:

All over the internet there are sites saying that the Javanese gamelan composition "Lancaran Singa Nebah" was written by a composer named "Pelog Barang." Pelog barang is actually the name of the scale that the piece uses. It's like saying that the Pastoral Symphony was written by "F Major."

why did it take me until now to mute the phrase "hot take"

I love the “In the Air Tonight” moment in Lorde’s “Green Light”

Viral math posts are like "What's 3x2? HAHAHAHA, you thought it was 6? You utter fool! You benighted simpleton! You dunderheaded neanderthal! That's not the multiplication sign ×, it's the variable 𝑥, so the answer is UNDEFINED!!!"
