Was Homestar Runner the death of the funny pages?
Asked a 32 year old and a 34 year old if they had any comic strips in their childhood that mattered to them, and BOTH told me their family no longer got the paper by the time they could read.
What is the age line for which this is relevant art? Born in 1990?
It also shocks me how few people have listened to Blink 182’s ‘Cheshire Cat,’ it is their best album.
We did a Top 5 Pop Punk Albums episode, but all the stuff we ultimately settled on was fairly mainstream.
If you’re not that old, the previous suggestion of the Descendants is very good, Screaming Weasel is also excellent. Both these bands will surprise you with how influential they are.
Your username is incredible.
I have had to stop reading before bed. I get too turnt up!
This is one of the reasons I’ve come to enjoy short stories so much! I can finish them and have a hard stop, as opposed to the classic “just one more page.”
Sex work includes stripping, and what they need is legal protection and self-governance to keep themselves safe.
If this event was going to serve that end, I would care more about this. It seems more like commodification of vice and brand synergy, which is assy.
Those 🍋 pepper 💦 wings are 🔥

So sick.

Bird by bird.
Prescient.
In anticipation of Opening Day ⚾️ we just recorded “Top 5 Major League Baseball Mascots” ⚾️
Dakotaraptor would jack us up.
What do you think is the smallest raptor we would need to worry about?
For my money, Mapusaurus is the scariest. Nearly T-Rex size, pack hunter? No thank you.
I read it this year in advance of our Top 5 Monsters episode and loved it! You are SPOT ON about the apathy and self centrism. Shout out dipshit Percy Shelley, author of one good poem, for so effectively modeling this.
@jennifercheek.bsky.social @timlanning.bsky.social right off the rip in Dear Internet, Top 5 Books of the Bible would go so hard.
For sure!
It’s these dang microphones, they keep distracting from our charms.

You beat me to it!!!!!
Yup. Not great.
Today we have been humbled with a reminder that it is easier to gather followers on the internet if you’re a sexy person.
Listening to yesterday’s episode of @warfrontsweekly.bsky.social it sounds like at the very least five Iranian Kurdish groups have found common cause and are massing forces.
To what end, we will see. I will be watching closely and wishing them peace and safety.
I loved Original Sin. Very strong list.
