Watching the genre of transformative art (aka fanfic) get gobbled up by capitalism and spit out as "fandom" or fascist memes really sucks shit huh

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

perfect, no notes

with all of my heart i hate this rat motherfucker

Children are not born knowing how to hate. You have to expose them to the couples on House Hunters and explain it to them.

i would like one of those NYT flyover country focus group panels but for EV/hybrid drivers in deep red states who got shit for years from their neighbors for driving the woke and gay electrics and how they're feeling these days

Reports are saying Jair Bolsonaro had already purchased a customized matching hospital bed for his beloved son Flavio to spend election night in alongside him. “It works both ways. Victory or defeat. Either way, I know where I want to be.”

this company knows where their bread is buttered, this is catnip for liberal moms and that is exactly who you need to sell to if you wanna move ras el hanout in america

I have discovered the exact, objective, scientific amount that Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder are lying and/or credulous. By solving this it means that I’ve won, which is the point of the movie, and really all movies if you think about it.

“protein enriched chocolate chip cookie” is kinda the perfect synthesis of the conflicting american male desires to be a spartan warrior and also five years old

My parents moved to the US in 1987 and they couldn’t buy something as simple as plain yogurt for Indian recipes, and now I can get coriander chutney at Safeway

Hey Somerville... Guess what?  WE BOUGHT THE BUILDING. The Somerville Theatre now belongs to the people who run it. Buying it was our leap of faith. Supporting it is where you come in. Find how you can help: somervilletheatre.com/future

this is the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life

I keep seeing South Asian folks making grand gestures of disclaiming Ramaswamy, as with Haley or Jindal. The thing to understand is, NONE of these candidates have ever, in any race, won a majority of the South Asian vote in any jurisdiction where they were running. They are products of white voters.

after statehood we'll have to rename the airport after someone who isn't awful and while duke ellington is probably the most sensible pick i think "fugazi international" really rolls off the tongue

A Hindu talking about the afterlife gtfo, the whole point is we don't have heaven/hell

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

appreciate this article pointing out that she's a performer! i think sometimes stuff like this gets traction bc people don't assume someone like a nondescript looking older black woman has real chops, these moments are always framed as some kind of previously unacknowledged natural talent

fascinated by The Dementia That Makes You Gay

god in heaven MAKE A NEW THING. anything! i don’t even care if it’s bad as long as it’s new!

i should be able to click a button at the beginning of a sports season that says “i’m normal” and i don’t get served any ads for crypto or gambling

Update: Vivek Ramaswamy has slapped a friend's child in the face in what his campaign is calling "a tribute to The Slap," a short-run 2015 television drama based on an Australian series of the same name.

Vivek Ramaswamy really thought he was white enough to pull that ad off

“My daughter is a liar worthy of public humiliation decades after the fact” vs “my stepdad was a paedophile and my mum covered for him” is easily the most on-the-nose representation of what the dynamic between “estranged parents” and their kids looks like outside the newspapers and in the real world

absolutely delighted that @sisterhyde.bsky.social, who designed the posters and branding for the The Devils re-release with WB Clockwork, made this official poster as part of You Can See The Devils weekend www.instagram.com/sister__hyde...

saw someone compare mamdani to goku and el-sayed to vegeta and that seems right to me

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

Because parents have been cutting off their kids (and/or threatening to) since the dawn of time, and NYT editors regard it as normal? (You date that girl. You want to leave the familly business. You chose the arts over med school. You're gay. You're trans.... It's endlesss... & then there's wills!)

"men don't like short hair" "men don't like tattoos" "you'd be prettier if you lost weight" sir, let's get on the same page: I am not trying to fuck you

Back in my day you just wrote mpreg fanfic and kept it moving, none of this "symbol of the West" bullshit

As a noted misandrist, I denounce all brotherhoods

Whether or not ppl cutting off their parents is an actual phenomenon (is it, really?) or just clicky outrage bait, anti-estrangement is a paternalistic, socially regressive position — it’s so similar to being anti-divorce that the two are virtually indistinguishable.

I advocate cutting off your parents just for the hell of it. Even if they’re great. Just for love of the game!

Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996)

Trump has figured out how to exploit DC’s lack of statehood to make the fiefdom of his dreams

washington dc is not trump’s personal property and must be given statehood to prevent this kind of abuse in the future
