new “Boys of Summer” cover just hit

“reality tv is inherently fascist” is my most consistently vindicated hot take of all time

Imagine killing your mentor and literal partner-in-crime so that three days later a guy who used to farm water can talk about how blowing up a moon-sized space gun is no big deal because he used to shoot Mountain Dew cans off his front porch with a BB gun #Andor

it would be a fantastic bit if Grok kept rotating quirks like audience suggestions at improv

The Internet was a mistake

I was panicked that my 7-year-old might freak out during the face melting scene in Indiana Jones but she said "I guess he shouldn't have opened that" as seriously as possible and I've been crying laughing for 10 minutes

British culture is unhinged, I just learned Right Said Fred is named after a novelty record about trying to move a piece of furniture by the guy who played Donna’s grandpa on Doctor Who

Vance going to meet the pope, the pope -immediately- dying, and the conclave then -immediately- electing a new pope who’s pretty unknown except for tweets about how much he dislikes Vance, is some Shakespearean revenge drama and I am here for it

we're gonna keep appointing new, increasingly more vance-hostile popes until he converts back to protestantism

jd vance is going to kill a second pope

probably my favorite pope post of this pope cycle

UPDATE: white smoke has *also* been spotted in the city center of Avignon,,, bad news folks!!!

CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

It’s Star Wars Day, you say? Then it’s time once more for one of my favourite things ever. Written by @quantick.bsky.social

I’m a May the 4th curmudgeon but this is good

It's a brutal time for young men. April — 1805. Napoleon is master of Europe. Only the British fleet stands before him. Oceans are now battlefields.

I got to hear the incredible @mashagessen.bsky.social speak today and ask them what American media can learn from Russia. “Thinking that you can give a little once in a while—that never works. You give any autocrat an inch, they'll take a mile. So resist while you have more resources to resist.”

all of this hype over a new pope and then they announce him and he’s got some dumb name like “GREGORY XVII.” they should shake things up and give this one a star wars name. his holiness rylar jorbo

Mark Zuckerberg saying “actually no one has friends” is at “the female orgasm doesn’t exist” levels of telling on yourself

Revenge of the Sith is kind of funny in a meta sense now because grown adults look at focus group tested slop and are like “this shit is too political, unlike the movies of my childhood where Darth Vader choked his wife then looked at the camera and directly quoted George W. Bush.”

A calculator that costs 1 trillion dollars, but it’s also wrong

utterly bereft to learn that by “monster” Ross only means “large” here

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

chonky baby boy I love him and all academic cats 🩵

As a break from doom: this review is written to the scheme of exactly the song you hoped it would be

OK, its not a question of whether the phone is compromised. If you are the spy chief of a major country's intelligence service and your people have not compromised this phone, you should resign and find some other line of work

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

probably the hannibal/miggs that included the line "in fact, just as Miggs's orgasm was ebbing, so was his life". it's lost to the mists of livejournal. sorry y'all

unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy

I…I don’t know how I feel about this but i do respect the bit

Ugh I’m getting so many of these

Live your life so that when you visit the Pope and he dies the next day everyone’s first thought isn’t “bet he killed him”

I wish jrr tolkien could do just a little bit of haunting just to fuck up those tech guys who keep naming their shitty companies after his lore

I think Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is probably a tough sell for Holy Father 2025, but agree that Pope Pizzaballa would cause the Internet to spontaneously combust, taking down the grid worldwide in a spasm of joy

[guy who’s only seen the 2024 US Presidential election watching the 2025 papal conclave] “getting a lot of ‘2024 US Presidential election’ vibes from this”

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

he met jd vance, realized christ didn’t quite lock all the demons away on saturday, and went back down to finish the fight
