As an aside, possibly my favourite Onion gag of all time:

As I see the word #taco trending on Bluesky right now, let me remind you that this piece of shit threatened the annihilation of a country a few weeks ago. Stop with the taco shit. Not everything is a meme. This shit is serious.

They couldn’t make Real Genius today because audiences would be confused why a bunch of nerds would sabotage selling their technology to the military-industrial complex

I imagine that immediate feedback aspect might be a nightmare for some folks but man, I'm telling you, NOTHING feels better than sitting in a dark room w/ people & hearing them laugh at some dumb thing you wrote a year ago. Or hearing sharp intakes of breath when you make them feel something heavy

Therein lies the Devil's bargain of playwriting as a medium: the pay is shit, the shadow your work casts is small, you probably get less respect than a poet in the hierarchy of who gives a shit. The tradeoff is no other writer gets to directly experience people reacting to their work in real time

It also rules when they perfectly suss out the subtext of a scene, which gives a deeply satisfying feeling of "okay, this thing I made actually works like it's supposed to." But nothing hits quite as well as "yeah man that was my plan from page one, totally intentional"

Being a playwright rules because I get to listen to actors come up w/ interpretations of what I've written that are both wrong AND better than what I had originally come up with, so I get to pretend I meant to do it like that all along and look like a genius

the Boots Riley discourse on twitter isn't going far enough imo. if you're actually a leftist, you shouldn't even be *watching* movies and television. the only way to actually be a Marxist is to live in a big tank like a guild navigator in Dune so that you can spend 24 hours a day posting

All the money in the world and these people still look like Kentucky Fried Ass

Normally I hate the "ugliness is indicative of evil" trope you see so often in fiction but man, it is pretty telling how so many right-wingers age like they just saw someone opening the Ark of the Covenant

Congrats to Bill for locking down that coveted Crytkeeper gig for the reboot

Honestly a bummer how expensive this festival has become. I've been to FORM twice in the past and both times it was a wonderful experience- the only music festival I've been to that was worth the hassle.

Oh, the FORM Arcosanti lineup is looking pretty good this year, let's see how much the tickets are- LMAO, nope, not a fucking chance

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.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

Guy designing the Nostromo: However many chains you think we need on the ship, double--then triple that number and that's what we'll put in the ship's chain room.

Assistant: Yes, sir. And the chains are dry, of course?

Designer: You're fired

Mike Nellis @MikeNellis "I'M NO LONGER CATHOLIC!" Hannity ABANDONS HIS FAITH for Trump NELLIS X.com • +*+

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

NEW YORK POST: Does the Mayor got bars? We investigate

“First the liberals call us racist, now they’re making me listen to Das Racist—it’s gone TOO FAR”

Republican dark money think tanks creating a based Fantano clone who drops a four hour video essay about how pregnant women who listen to Zohran’s raps are 90% at risk of having their fetuses embrace the light of Islam by the third trimester

“Is the greatest city in America willing to be in the pockets of Big Backpack Rap?”

Right-wingers can’t do comedy right because if they really wanted to take shots at Zohran they should be dissing his rap career. Doctoring fake Pitchfork scores, interviewing a alleged “staffer” who was forced to listen to all the mayor’s mixtapes and annotate them on Genius, that sort of thing now

There should be a legacy sequel to PUMP UP THE VOLUME where teens learn the story of Hard Harry, track him down living off the grid in the mountains, slowly convince him that his voice is needed and he emerges to conquer the podcast game. But immediately says something horrible and gets cancelled.

I've been told that crossbowing hiring managers is a big no-no
