"Taco" is the dumbest acronym since Stryper revealed their band name stands for "Salvation Through Redemption, Yielding Peace, Encouragement, and Righteousness"

my favorite dogpark phenomena is people who will say goodbye to your dog and when you respond goodbye back, they give you your own goodbye, making it clear that that first one was for your dog only

Same here. Moves like these feel like they can only build more resentment towards the MCU when it should be trying to retain fans and draw in new ones as much as possible.

was reading reviews of THE LAMB when i saw someone give the all-time quote "I prefer books about systemic cannibalism than domestic cannibalism" and, as someone who has now read two cannibalism novels, I had no idea the cannibalism canon was deep enough to have a preference

I mostly managed to figure out Thunderbolts while I was watching it without having seen the several TV shows they wanted me to sit thru beforehand.

"it's critical you give us $20 and 3 hours of your life before you give us another $20 and another 3 hours of your life"

a Playbill for HURT LOCKER THE MUSICAL at the Belasco Theater, featuring a grayscale image of a figure in a bomb detonation suit with their hands raised standing in front of a sunrise

my favorite piece of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH trivia is they made fake playbills for a fake musical and scattered them around the theater to explain why Hedwig had access to such a nice theater (canonically, the HURT LOCKER musical closed during intermission of its first performance)

the “thumb a hundred bucks for the clock tower” future is Now

if you have enough enemies to staff a baseball team, you should take a hard look at your life

our cashless future making things extra hard for the "my car broke down and i just need a few bucks for gas" guys across the world

Boastful Quaker Oats ad, Chicago 1891

possibly the finest part of THE SOPRANOS Is the mini-arc of Tony being psychically tormented by a talking fish toy

factories don't burn down by themselves... they need help from you. Learn to Bum.

this website remains dumb

feels like every year the internet unveils a new Bad Take Machine that is bigger and more harmful than the previous year's model

oh, that's totally fine, i feel like it's an irl continuation of that nosleep story about a park ranger finding stairs in the woods, except with a really goofy explanation of where come from (bigfoot built them!)

i think that part in the opening with the rich people eating is one the greatest scenes in movie history

is Paulides a creep? it won’t ruin it for me, i’m just lurking outside the window of this conspiracy

my current favorite conspiracy theory is MISSING 411, because it's basically a dude telling weird stories of people going missing in national parks and then insinuating it's UFOs and/or Bigfoot without ever coming out and saying it. sure, it's still a little sleazy, but not life-ruiningly so.

i love having a drafts thinger on bluesky, so i can banish all the jokes that refused to cooperate and become funny into a void where they can only socialize with other failed attempts

in every successive AI ad i get served on instagram, the peoples' eyes get deader and deader. it's like a flipbook of someone's soul leaving their body.

i grew up in Wrigleyville and can confirm it sucked ass and was a magnet for the worst people in and around Chicago

A red Wendy's sign is seen on the street next to a tall palm tree, which obscures part of Wendy's face. The marquee, which says quality is our recipe above, says in the part where employees can edit it, "misfortune awaits Lucky you"

Remembering this excellent Wendy's marquee in my neighborhood

pretty exciting to be governed by that distant relative whose all caps facebook posts were so bad it finally made you delete your account

the dog who woke me up at 8am on a sunday to be fed

finally watched LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS and i'm kind of annoyed at myself it took this long

i am truly getting older because there were some people chatting at the communal dogpark table today and all i could think was "do you really need to say 'fuck' this much?"

rewatched KING OF COMEDY and AFTER HOURS. two Scorcese movies made while he was heartbroken and recovering from getting his first attempt at Last Temptation shut down. and what does he make? a wildly prescient movie about fame + fandom and one of the most influential comedies of all time. king shit.
