Happy 50th anniversary to the movie Jaws. This is probably the greatest line in cinema history:

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

There are two kinds of terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger character names: “Ben Richards” and “Jericho Cane”

I love France so goddamn much apnews.com/article/louv...

Dear friends my own age: I try very hard to delude myself that I’m still young and cool, and when you post zero-irony angry political unfunny AI-generated meme images, you make my job very difficult Dear my elderly parents: as you were

ACAB includes that horse from Tangled

Literally a @myqkaplan.bsky.social bit

favorite dumb comics thing is how some american guy doing too much coke in the 80s would invent a terrible superhero like "sandwich boy" as a joke and then some british guy doing too many sedatives in the 90s would be like "sandwich boy can create a 'reality sandwich' and is thus a living god"

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

Things always get worse before they get better. It would be really nice to have some kind of timetable for when things will get better

The kind of guy who I would have sworn was in every other scene in Scarface, so large does he loom. He’s in two scenes. It’s just how hard he rocks.

RIP Brian Wilson, one of the best to ever do it. He was haunted by how good “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes is and he was right to be.

“i asked chatgpt” “i asked grok” well i asked brian wilson and he showed me the sound of god

It’s wild how many acclaimed super genius music producers either were born with, or went on to develop, severe mental illness, but also it makes sense because a pretty good indicator of mental illness is “hearing things nobody else can hear”

I was raised by Boomers during a time when Boomers were firmly in command of the manufacture of pop culture, which is why the 60s-teen music of The Beach Boys was the soundtrack of the 80s-teen movie Teen Wolf. No one thought this was weird at the time.

Reporter: what will your response be as mayor to ICE? Mamdani: the actions of ICE are unconstitutional and I will oppose them Cuomo: residents are concerned about ICE, but also public safety Eric Adams: I’ll tell you something about Darkwing Duck, no one can hate a man in a fashionable hat

i'm the only one worried about politics the exact right amount. the rest of you are either panicky little babies who are overreacting or head in the sand fools unprepared for the moment. not me, though

If ChatGPT is down how am I supposed to learn that Abraham Lincoln’s talking motorcycle was named Cherry Pie

I know it’s hard to concentrate with all the distractions and horrors, but we really need to grapple with the scene in Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning where a character thanks Tom Cruise for giving them diarrhea

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

lmaoooooo hell yeah LA

Whenever a new X-man is introduced I think about this Penny Arcade post immediately and at length

Of all the lines of Star Wars dialogue to turn out to be eerily prescient, I did not have my money on “I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a co-MIT-ty”

I can’t wait till California secedes and our national anthem becomes Best Coast’s “The Only Place”

the evidence of this correlation grows stronger each day

I feel like everyone who is 20 years old should start watching dad movies like The Pelican Brief and the Hunt for Red October because I like them and want more of them and they might even like them idk

I hated every second of drawing this.

Hell yeah I’ve got Switch 2 Switch 2 a new medication every couple of months so please bear with me

If you’re overstimulated, please report to the Bluesky cooldown tent where we have orange slices and someone who doesn’t understand the concept of jokes waiting for you

Laika did a bf reveal for the gay older brother from Paranorman for Pride, I'm sobbing youtu.be/P4UCcm3sqv8?...

If I ever unknowingly post anti-Trump AI slop, that’s your cue to bind and gag me and set me adrift in the North Pacific on a leaky rubber raft On the other hand, if I ever KNOWINGLY post anti-Trump AI slop, then same thing, you know what to do, this only ends one way

If you’re like me, you watch black and white movies when you can’t sleep, and you know, as I do, that you gotta keep the volume low when you start one because those old studio logo fanfares were like BYAAAAAA BWOMP BWOMP bwada BRAAAAAAAAAAMP except with way more treble

I’m not putting anyone on a pedestal but at every opportunity to be a shithead who throws marginalized people under a bus this man chooses the opposite and he’s wildly popular because of it and I don’t understand what about that isn’t clicking for other dems

cybertruck cut me off and I said as an insult “fuck you, you shape”

Situations in which I would like to see a Predator: China (Warring States) Feudal Japan Newark Airport Beach Farmers market Furry convention Mall Of America Child support hearing Ball pit Very small boat, Life Of Pi style Stuck elevator Dog park Black Friday sale at Costco

my beautiful son, Sun

Blue Velvet is effective in part because it captures the dreamlike horror of your friend taking you to see one of their friends and it's just weird as hell

Man it’s a good thing Luthen died when he did because if he knew there was a petty criminal who initially said he was only in it for the money but then showed up saying he’d changed his mind they would never have found his body

Just learned that the other guy in T. Rex called himself “Steve Peregrin Took” It is so fucking funny to appropriate a hobbit’s entire name, but still use your own first name, which is STEVE
