in my household the word “slop” is only spoken when describing the things we have made for supper

cinema is finally fucking back. This one's for the little dark 90s kids

I feel like I spend too much time trying to be the 'corny police' on here but you simply cannot post like this. it's immoral to do so

this is huge

i really don’t like “neurospicy” as a term. i’m an autistic adult. it feels so infantilizing and also nonspecific

imagine if the classical music world was more tolerant of the concept of “being a little bit of a fuckup” and “low key not having your shit together”

Dog Movie by Henry Hanson: perhaps the first good movie ever made?

the idea of “flaw” is totally inapplicable to the field of human beauty

if you’ve ever described someones features or body as “flawless” you will probably go to hell low key

the basic reality is that women and girls are just kinda understood to be looksmaxxers, and this fact is like obvious but also surprisingly uncommon in clavicular discourse circles

misuse of sexually charged language is so corny to me

can we bring back the old smothering sense of decorum just long enough that this place will have to change its name?

as it pertains to the band Geese none of this matters guys. it also doesn’t matter if you like or don’t like the band Geese. they are not a music-changing moment they are a band and industry was and remains bad and getting worse. not a ton of takeaways here

best articulation of what it's like to be friends with someone and also simply a fan of them

TEN THINGS THAT MAKE MY HEART BEAT FASTER by Barbara Stanwyck 1. The violins led by Roger Barrieux at the Sheherazade in Paris. 2. Shirley Booth, the artist; Shirley Booth, the woman. 3. Yellow roses on April first - from a valued friend. 4. The loneliness of Katharine Hepburn in Summerfime. 5. Kids in an iron lung. 6. Any record album or performance, straight or comic, by Jackie Gleason. 7. Laurette, the biography of Laurette Taylor. 8. One of my paintings - Vlaminck's "The Snowstorm." 9. Pictures of babies in magazine ads. 10. Any close-up of Liz Taylor; Esther Williams' swimming under water; the incomparable timing of Jack Benny.

I could be under the influence of pr but megan stalter seems like possibly the only cool celebrity

the parts in Ambulance Blues by Neil Young where the violin comes in with those descending lines feel like some kind of absolution

god it’s insane that this time last year I was in the middle of having my brain destroyed by a crush

I clicked on one and the entire suggested feed underneath it was other clips from other channels - genuinely upsetting

the vitality of the “cumtown clip channel” youtube ecosystem is insane

I wish I was less of a retvrn guy about children’s picture books — I hope I’m just totally unhip and there are lots of great ones being published still

I hate to make such an obvious joke but, like, u know, "golly, imagine if there were science fiction novels for men..."

everything I do today, I feel like I'm stock footage for a future documentary about how Americans went about their lives while their bombs wiped out families and cultures

this is the kind of thing that makes me want a fursuit

tfw you are mud and flame
