It's hard to quantify but this might be the coolest thing ever in a movie

I am a 40 year old white dude so you can give my musical opinions with exactly as much credit as you feel they deserve but Born to Run slaps and I will go to bat for Bruce any day of the week

Sex workers posting wildly incorrect WW2 rage bait to get people to click on their bio instead of thirst traps is the funniest anecdote you can tell about this place

I used to try to post only when I felt like I had something to add. Those days are over. Is this anything more than just a bunch of words that occurred to me at that moment? Unclear. But it looks like a joke, or at least something sorta joke shaped, so *post*

Imagine how unpleasant social media would have been if it was around for the fatty arbuckle railroading

I know we have our problems but I cannot emphasize enough how much healthier the silent film fandom is now vs the early internet and blogger era. Flame wars about Valentino's sexuality and slut-shaming of Pola Negri... weird times.

bluesky is acting slow. i’d really like to scroll and look at comments instead of preparing dinner for my beautiful family 😢

I was hanging out with very offline friends all weekend and they were still well informed and pissed off about the right things without staring into the torment matrix for 12 hours a day. I have learned nothing from this however

Gonna knock this down and replace it with the Bureau of Food Stamps and Obamaphones

I always give a fake name when getting on those log rollercoaster water rides it’s my nom de flume

I knew I'd seen that pattern somewhere before (while looking for a new tallit in a Judaism store that turned out to be owned by messianics).

It’s like a Nudie suit and a Judaica store had a baby

Can’t believe they are re-releasing animorphs books with different covers The whole appeal of the series is the unsettling allure of the 3/7ths rat girl or the 4/9ths hawk kid

I used to live on one of the side streets off Hollywood Blvd and would see the costumed performers like this all the time. For a while I would arrive home for work every day and a guy with a hulk costume half off would be on the sidewalk talking on his phone.

He’s got that shit on though, you can’t deny it

One year for my birthday, I’m gonna hire a track and field coach so me and all my friends can finally try the hammer toss and the pole vault and all the other weird sports I don’t even know how you get into

Why do I want to do this so bad

I know I’m not in a position to give advice to Taylor Swift but I really think she should take up the saxophone

Taylor Swift is gen z Bono. Replies and quote tweets are turned off.

Lmao at the recommended search on this random video about gambling addiction

Manchin's a POS but at least rooted in the truth that he was a true bonus seat. Sinema, Cuomo, Fetterman provide a narcissism without nowhere close to that foundation.

in the end there are more similarities that bring us together than differences that tear us apart. for example, i use tartar sauce as my main sandwich condiment just like everyone else

Shana tovah to my Jewish friends and good luck in tomorrow’s Rapture to my Christian ones

It would be nice to have a political movement of people who have good moral judgement, good political sense, and a solid track record so we know it’s not just empty words. But we currently have every single one of those people now and it’s not even close to enough.

Man that Canada/Anal one is trying too hard

i medically need this shirt

dudes rock

I just saw the video of this and it’s even funnier than the transcription makes it sound

ok felt compelled to look this up due to the reskeet and a apparently it is even better/pithier “it works in practice but not in theory” and apparently it is bandied about the wiki community but i didn’t see anything convincing about the first person to say it.

“Jimmy Wales rebuilt the library of Alexandria using nothing more than nerds’ need to correct one another”

Many such cases

this guy’s personality was “won’t shut up about the boondock saints”

Look on my works, ye mighty, and be like damn bet he sucked

When I see some monument from hundreds or thousands of years ago to a ruler that we don’t otherwise know a ton about, my default assumption now is that they were a loser

What my account presupposes is… maybe it is?

We made a tactical error by all getting our Covid shots on the same day, now my wife and I are feeling wiped out by it while the kid is as amped as ever. He just ran into the room and said “watch me go full animal mode on the stairs”

it’s not truth vs lies, it’s truth vs lies vs bullshit, and bullshit is the worst of them. bullshit can eat the world. people who bullshit a lot, given any power whatsoever, are extraordinarily dangerous, much more so than a liar. all politicians are liars. donald trump is a bullshitter.

we read this essay in some college class i took twenty or thirty years ago and it is one of the foundational things i took away from my education, next to the capability explosion of putting electronics in the right shape to be a computer and the widespread applicability of feedback control theory

This is as funny as when Christians got upset at Sam Smith for dressing up like a devil from a bugs a bunny cartoon

I’m opting out of learning how or why this is happening, if it turns out to be important please let me know

My claim to fame is that I invented the word "doomscrolling" well not actually, but I did think of it a long as time ago and almost said it out loud but then somebody else invented it for real. But yeah I would have invented it

I invented an AOL away message about playing video games that took up the whole screen that I swear they added to the standard pack. That's my unverifiable and certainly false contribution to internet, but something I still kinda believe

Every single criticism of BlueSky is valid except somehow the one the pundits stumbled upon, which is roughly equivalent to kicking down the door of a KFC and incredulously asking everyone if they are aware they are eating fried chicken.

He looks like he got bit by a zombie and won’t admit it

Dudes hit that Dad phase, find a hobby and lock onto it like a heat-seeking missile. endlessly amazing results ensue.

Why _don’t_ we have laws telling fictional people to follow certain requirements while breaking laws, though

The moral arc of the universe does bend, but in a consistent two steps forward one step back pattern. There's a burst of relatively rapid progress followed by a backlash where we get to see what sticks. That doesn't make living through the second part more fun, but it does give hope for the future.

I’m in the middle of something, how soon do you need this by
