You ever want to be the one who tips this shit over the edge, well

It's wild to think about how it was marketed to kids. I remember getting a Beetlejuice-branded bookcover to put on one of my textbooks by the end of 1988 in fifth grade.
The aunts of my family (including Mom) took the young cousins, ranging in age from six (my sister) to 14, to see the film as a group of eight.
And my sis LOVED it. Watched the show, made a Halloween costume, got the toys. She made sure to see the sequel in theaters, too!
The upcoming Stranger Things cartoon inspired me to look back at the VERY weird history of animated spin-offs of live-action shows, and to suggest some new ones:
“I was tired. It didn’t appear anything good was ever going to happen,” he said. “And then Renee Good got shot. And I don’t remember being so distinctly angry at a news story in my life. I was just so fucking angry for days. Then I turned on Alex Jones to see what he was talking about, and he had Kyle Rittenhouse on and he was saying things that weren’t true and I was like nope, that’s it. He’s just going to keep selling boner pills on the back of the worst tragedies in our country in perpetuity unless someone puts a check on this.”
May I have the strength to be as furious and as totally irrational as @bencollins.bsky.social forever
Here he is, in conversation with a colleague and friend @lindseyadler.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com, on the topic of buying INFOWARS

This looks like a TON of fun and I'm glad it found its way to being shown. Seriously how can you see this and go "Welp we should bury all this delightful work!" ? Jeez.
they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

You're gonna have to change the name, sorry. That's definitely not what a charlatan does.
(That is awesome. Good on you.)
have a favor to ask: will you support the community theater where my 6th grader takes voice lessons and performance classes? they are having a Double Good fundraiser - 50% of sales go to the theater and you get tasty popcorn (I’ve had it and will vouch!). thank you 😊 no s.dgpopup.com/m2o9w6s4
Robert Downey Jr's fist punches out from the freshly dug dirt. He rises from the grave, dusts himself off and dramatically puts on the Doom mask.

Sweet! @jessicawluther.com, I'm very much looking forward to reading this. It's all been such a stupid red herring, and SO many cowards have waffled on the topic, I'm glad to see a reporter w/ some IRL demonstrated courage assigned to cover it. Texas doesn't have many anymore. Or certainly, enough.
Shoot your shots. I still put my faith in the youth! 🦁

EXCLUSIVE: @theonion.com tells me they've struck a (long-awaited) deal to take over Infowars.
New PTFO on how America's finest (fake) news source trolled Alex Jones, with the blessing of Sandy Hook families — and what @bencollins.bsky.social is planning next — will be up soon

Digital Underground doesn't get enough love.
I think a lot about the breadth of hiphop that gets disappeared over time, primarily through the focus on the superstars as the backwards lens, instead of the community that hiphop built as a larger conversation of music.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
The Block turns 10 years old later this spring.
For my debut contribution @defector.com, I spoke to the guy who called it (Mike Breen) and the guy who let it happen (Monty McCutchen) to reflect on one of the NBA's flashbulb moments: defector.com/the-block-as...
“I look for affection where I know it isn’t. When I’m invited closer, I start to push. I welcome the bad faith of strangers and distrust the praise of friends. I crave the approval of people I don’t like and the love of people who don’t love me.”
This is truly beautiful and I’m feeling so seen.
