you get what I'm trying to say, right? please tell me i don't have to put searchable keywords in this and invite some frustrating arguments from strangers.

... the fact that he was more successful as a director, that he wasn't asked to leave sickens me.
i don't want people driven out of society, but people w/ dangerous behavior maybe shouldn't be allowed to keep positions of relative power they have ACTIVELY abused, certainly not in the same industry.

man, i'm itching to fucking discourse about the current thing and i really shouldn't. i don't generally do it because it feels like shit! but I'm thinking about it!

v grateful someone else took the time & effort to articulate this

this was all true long before the photo w/Scurrl came out (which I feel pr confident the author would agree w/based on what they wrote), but god forbid you said so around AEW fans before it did

If you are attempting to dissect cultural trends between the 80s and today, I would argue that one of the most comprehensive resources you can find is the discography of "Weird Al" Yankovic

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

Mario 1993 Movie - $38.9 million box office

Mario 2023 Movie - $1.361 billion box office

no greater testament to the fact that the general public are unthinking, artless hogs who deserve nothing

i just got to the shoelaces task on taskmaster: nz, oh my god that's immediately one of my favorite things that's happened on any of them

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

a close up of a pencil sketch of a basic face drawn on small gridded paper. the eyebrows, mouth, and nose are all straight horizontal lines, and the eyes are sketchy ovals that look very tired. one eye is a little wider, and looks just a little angrier. there are lines pointing to different parts of the face leading out of frame.

I'm drawing a diagram to hopefully be prepared to finally go to a doctor now that i have insurance again, and it's captured my mood pretty accurately

a porn parody called I SAW THE TV BLOW

that said, i am sad that the kids don't learn 50 year old pop culture references from ancient cartoons like we did and i can't explain why lol

i would never speculate on but wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Internet seriously, fundamentally changed the way people think and that everyone who was born after the proliferation of high-speed internet have a harder time comprehending how much past there is because there's so much present.

one day these people in the office are gonna ask me the wrong question and they will be horrified by my answers because they have never once considered living outside this little town

oh no people in the office are alluding to revelations oh no why is this kid in here talking about the war with the old white guy aw man I don't want this
