When a girl is down bad she’ll start posting things like “we need to bring back beauty”

COMING STRAIGHT UP THE BLACK BARRIO

It’s so funny that the announcers have to say “quad god” in a tremulous whisper #Olympics2026

“Always got something to say, like an Okayplayer hater” is so fucking funny. The sign of Talib Kweli being too online were always there

Me and the fellas

60 years ago today, mild-mannered jim bowl was bitten by a radioactive spider

It’s so vindicating to see the last Brat related artifact getting bad reviews even from many fans. Like rooting against a dominant team all year, then watching them faceplant in the finals

She was good in season one. I think she’s been the victim of mediocre writing this season. The workplace rivalry subplot brings out all the least interesting aspects of the character

Major “you have a lifetime to write your debut album, and six months to write your follow up” syndrome on this season of The Pitt (so far). I am officially concerned

You saw this in the World Series when the ball got stuck under the wall in a critical moment. If you’re so enamored with pedantry that you can’t acknowledge that’s an objectively lame thing to happen during a pivotal moment idk what to tell you

Re: Bills v. Broncos (I know no one cares anymore). It’s a pet peeve for me when die hard fans of a sport get smug about explaining rules to “casuals”, when all most ppl are reacting to is dissatisfaction that a great game comes down to a call that’s even a little ambiguous

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

Seattle defense: Strategically perfect unit with seamless communication, every player seems to know what every other player is thinking at all times, 4 defenders spawn around the football every time it moves

Houston defense: Fuck these guys are good

i'm boycotting the nfl until they let the chiefs back into the playoffs. i mean obviously i'll watch the games and talk about them and everything, but i will not purchase any of the teams

It took me a long time to acknowledge the bottle episode as one of Community’s best for this reason

Pet peeve: when a sitcom introduces a mystery plot and you get invested, then slowly realize that it’s going to have a copout ending

Ian’s all grown up. But sometimes you get the right angle of his big eyes and suddenly he looks like a boy again #thetraitors

Big fan of this T.C. Boyle anthology that makes it look like the memoir of a stand up from the 90s, instead of stories by a respected author

He stopped the war between poopoo and peepee in his diaper (they both won)

Aging actors who did their best work in a performance they saw as a betrayal of their persona: Mark Hamill in The Last Jedi, Chevy Chase in Community

Sorry fugu, by T. C. Boyle

What if Ratatouille had decided to try and seduced the cruel food critic instead? My friends, you don’t have to wonder any longer because T.C. Boyle answered that question in 1987

I hope to someday think something is as funny as millennial podcasters think the word “unc” is

Actually opened YouTube to type this in, and got pissed when I realized it was a joke

I think where I’m at is Pauline Kael > Andrew Sarris. But Sarris disciples > Kael disciples. Mainly bc the things that make Pauline special (prose style, humor, reckless overconfidence) are basically impossible to replicate if you’re less talented than she was

Jay-Z’s “one hot album every ten year average” line is so cutting that no one questions him referring to 1994-2001 as ten years

Well, I didn’t vibe with If I Had Legs I Would Kick You like the rest of you did. But it did make me scour this lady’s wikipedia page in a panic. So that’s something

Jeff giving the whole speech about this being where you punch your ticket to 50, and the two people actually on 50 have their ally blindsided lol #Survivor #Survivor49

Add that up over a week, I’m gonna kick your butt. Add that up over a month, you’re toast…
