"The volunteer opportunity was to make sandwiches and food for the detainees at the site.”

♫ “This is where the party ends, I can’t stand here listening to you… …you and your racist friend…” ♫

“Join us for Thirsty Thursdays, we’re it’s just $2 a pitcher of ketamine.”

It looks exactly like him.

Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai was almost transliterated into Magnificent Seven, inspired A Bug’s Life and Galaxy Quest.
The latter two and Three Amigos take it a step further: these aren’t heroes, they’re people who portray heroes.
Are there other films that have this particular plot? What trope is this?

Since discovering this last year, have listened to it three times. Cannot get over how fantastic the book and @marawilson.bsky.social's reading is. My absolute favorite audio performance. #TheFacelessOldWomanWhoSecretlyLivesinYourHome

What of the mash?

People want Alex Garland and Paul Thomas Anderson to be able to explain things but their failure is that they’re kind of smart. If you want to explain 2026 you needed to give 200 cans of Mountain Dew to Uwe Boll in 2007 and instruct him to direct an adaptation of Catch 22 but not to read it first

To this day “have you met men?” Is a frequent reference among our friends and family.

My spouse said “Have you met men?”
All three of them quickly guessed it was true, which was the right answer. Turns out it was even worse than true:
The leader abandoned the other bikers in the middle of the trek, and was eventually found at a bar, having drinks with two women he’d met on the trail.

My spouse was on a game show; they were guessing the truth of guests’ story…
Ranger Sharon’s story was that a guy ranger leading a bike tour stalled twenty or so tourists to flirt with some women.

While reasoning it out, another contestant said “I just don’t know that a park ranger would do that…”

I’m a guy. I absolutely get it.
Men are frequently terrible.

“Not all men tho” people are basically saying “I know that bakery got an F from the board of health, but I didn’t get rat turds in one sandwich one time, so I don’t think the reputation is deserved. Now let me tell you about crypto coin…”

They wanted a ghost they could blame, a giant unending search that would unearth only the opposition, and now they have it.

Those fucking bastards.

I was so lucky a counselor heard me singing Particle Man at camp and sent me a tape with both their Lincoln and eponymous albums. I played it to death, and am still a massive fan.

I think my first album on tape was Paul Simon - Rhythm of the Saints, which I loved so much I bought another copy to start my new collection of cassettes.

I started saying “folks” instead of “guys” as I became more involved in the LGBTQIA community.

I’m totally open to another word, and didn’t know it was a problem..? •researches•

A knife block shaped like a classical marble bust resembling Julius Caesar, in reference to his death.

I’ve accidentally bullied people.

As someone who was bullied so much when I was young, it’s hard to realize that I can and I have, even between friends.

It’s an invaluable lesson.

I very frequently send my friends The Word of the Day, @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social .

It’s always “butts”, or something very near (“buts” has made an appearance).
There are an unexpectedly high number of definitions. I’ve kept deeply ridiculous joke going, and I wonder if it brings you some joy.

We can all pretend it’s the little half train, half elevator that brings tiny people to the top of the collarbone.

Christopher Lee. There are a lot of possibilities for which movie, but I’m choosing Mio In The Land of Faraway, a childhood favorite.

Two things can be true…

Snatcher for Sega CD was my introduction to the Kojima madhouse. Now we’re tying balloons to people.

I see a parallel…
In the mid-2010s, there was a sewage backup of phone games with the same mechanic: “upgrading a thing will cost you X real time, but you can click a button to spend real money and skip that.”
AI is just this stupid, malicious button in real life. Click it to skip building yourself.

“Scientists discovered lab rats experience soul crushing, debilitating depression and addiction to soothing behaviors.

One researcher pointed to the endless rows of enclosures, fitted with randomized shock devices and pellet lottery machines, ‘Yeah, We aren’t sure what’s causing it. Water, maybe?’”

Love at first smite.

If you removed the bigots, Twitter would be unable to stand. Those are structural racists, the crusty incel spooge stains stiffening the world’s largest sock.

Throw it away, it’s haunted.
