The worst part of owning a bidet is now whenever I go any place that DOESN'T have one I feel like I am using a fuckin chamber pot in the 1400s

You expect me to use my HANDS with a flimsy scrap of PAPER?? Like a MUD-PEASANT

I feel like not enough reviewers know they had to remake the entire final third of the Michael Jackson movie because it falsely exonerated him, and it turned out the kid’s lawyer foresaw that shit in the 1990s and made sure to include a clause that the estate could never ever do that on film.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

An underrated 21st century skill is knowing what level of digital friendship you should have with somebody. Getting that Instagram request and being able to say, "no, LinkedIn mutuals is right for us." Tough when you realize belatedly that you don't actually want to know what your gym trainer thinks

Me:

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing.

And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.

Deep sigh

Rural whites when Democrats try to help them in literally anyway

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Another writer shared this m answer from legendary Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder & I’m sharing it as well. I read this interview when I was on Rick & Morty & every single thing I’ve written since then (comics, movies, TV, whatever) like this. Frankly its the only way to write imo

austin weather radar. every fucking time.

The ultra rich, massive corporations, and billionaires control our politics because John Roberts freed them to pour unlimited money into campaigns via Citizens United.

Take all their money away and you take away their power.

Weekend At Robby's

I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED WAITING FOR YOU TO SEE IT

Abbot revealing he is Robby's emergency contact is like throwing a god damn grenade at AO3

She's right and she should say it

"I know it's about the character, but when it's your face and it's things you've experienced in your own life, it becomes harder to separate. Some people have really stayed hating her. I used to give a lot of grace. If you're still this critical of her and not critical of Langdon, I think you're just a misogynist." - Isa Briones, on the reactions to Dr. Santos in The Pitt season 2

Isa Briones lobbing this out when The Pitt fandom is one of the most toxic around is braver than the Marines

I think Meg White is a good drummer just by the standards of being a good drummer but I think she’s an exceptional drummer by the standards of having her extremely strange husband come home one day and say that they were starting a band and had to dress alike and also she’s his sister now

A while back a friend in Maine chided me for weighing in on Platner because I don't understand Maine culture. He is not running for city council! The US Senate affects the whole world, and we've already had a Fetterman and a Sinema. If you get duped by a Nazi it matters to the rest of us.
