I would NEVER condone this, but if you’ve already tried talking to family members about their politics and they are truly unreachable and you’re afraid they’re susceptible to getting scammed, then it would probably be really easy to just scam them first. Rob them blind. Shut down their internet. etc

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

The idea of "living up to one's potential" has done more psychic damage to me than any other abstract concept except masculinity

I agree that there are more productive ways of being revolutionary than watching a TV show, but also TV shows can let us access and experience things we would not otherwise be able or willing to do, such as sh**ting a c*p in the h**d Also disabling quote posts on your own promo post is very funny

My favorite part of any vampire movie: when a guy has turned into a vampire, and everyone knows it, but he’s still pretending to be a human, like, sarcastically? Gets me every time. Probably because it’s exactly how I would decide to behave in that situation

shortly after the new blue checks are lowered into the Enclosure

Spoiler alert for Sinners: my customers come here to dance erotically

This is kind of beyond embarrassing but I think it’s true for a lot of people my age, and I swear to god I’m not trying to be funny: when I saw “The Crying Game”

I wish Jim Carrey and Udo Kier had done more movies together

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the confused elderly peasant in Doctor Zhivago who asks “this fellow, Lenin; will he be the new Czar, then?”

People say AI art has nothing to say, nothing to tell the viewer, but I couldn’t disagree more. For instance, when you post an AI-generated political cartoon, it tells me you can’t draw and you’re not funny

I don’t do a lot of magical thinking, but I will do Jimi-setting-his-guitar-on-fire spirit fingers at the Keurig in my office to make my coffee fill faster

Stuntwoman falls seventy feet to a hidden airbag in the middle of the stage, Texas switch, a slightly disheveled Dame Judi Dench approaches the mic

A new Wes Anderson movie is like a new Tom Waits record, you already know what you’re getting and whether or not you’ll like it

i would download the fuck out of a car

Briefly regretting the fact that I didn’t go to high school with Christina Hendricks when she looked like this, essentially a bunker buster smart bomb designed by Lockheed Martin to level my sad boy ass, before remembering I would have been too scared to talk to her anyway

Val Kilmer is my favorite Batman. It’s just how I am, I don’t know what to tell you. I’ll miss him, but I was already missing him for all these last days. He should have had another 20 years to keep working and just get weirder and weirder. RIP to a wild motherfucker.

I have never done a graffiti in my entire life, but Cybertrucks make me wanna research sprayable acids, and then create stencils, that I will carry everywhere, that just say things like “DONGWAGON” or “DOUCHE CRATE” I don’t want to draw graffiti on those things, I want to fucking ETCH IT

These guys taught me it’s okay to be weird

When you desperately crave human connection but find the effort and stress of interaction to be too overwhelming to attempt even being around anyone

When I was a kid, my favorite Disney cartoon, the first one we owned on VHS in the puffy white case, was The Three Caballeros, which was why I was the only kid at my Iowa elementary school who could pull off a fairly believable Brazilian accent

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce, but it was farce the LAST time, I don’t know what the fuck is happening now. Too many iterations. We’re living through the historical equivalent of Paper Jam Dipper

Kind of amazing that the dumbest government in this country’s long dumb history is Streisand-effecting things into the worldwide public consciousness that we didn’t even know existed until assholes decided they were Woke Marxist Facts

the secret plot of Severance is that Mark/MDR is working on different strains of weed. Cold Harbor is them trying to make a sativa/indica hybrid that is somehow both sativa AND indica dominant. This important work holds up the entire economy in the Severance universe

I love being completely clueless about music sometimes. Like when every single detail in an article like this could be deliberately made up to fuck with me and I would have no way of knowing pitchfork.com/news/wu-lyf-...

It’s too bad a bunch of idiots are gonna hate on the new Snow White because they’re racists, when they could just join the rest of us in hating on it because it looks shitty

I’m gonna start doing this

might start getting tarot readings so i can experience the world like a total fucking idiot

Take my picture Crabs: a bit much

You know that new sound you’ve been looking for? Well, uh, I’m working on it.

Having an amazing time at the Koreatown nightclub from Collateral. The place is packed and the energy is high, the girls look amazing, I'm pretty sure the FBI witness Peter Lim is here, too. I think this might be the best night of my life?

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Still not over David Lynch.

Morpheus: “We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI.” AI: “Jackfruit was discovered in 1825 by Jack Warner, CEO of Warner Bros Pictures & Fruit”

When you instantly know a post dates from before the Best Original Song acceptance speech

New automatic block policy: any “fake business” comedy account, where it’s supposedly like a low-budget petting zoo posting stuff like “someone has dressed the llama up like Machine Gun Kelly again”
