Impossible to overstate how central the idea that I, personally, am the only person who has ever done an honest day’s work is to the conservative worldview. This one’s not new. It has always been virtuous, productive Me getting what I’ve earned vs the predatory Others leeching off me.

If you ask Boomers, the book is called “No, Country for Old Men!”

One of the simplest and most important things you can do for anyone in your life is have them switch to Democracy Now's daily news podcast instead of the NPR or New York Times daily podcasts. Just that little change in propaganda exposure dramatically improves people's lives.

Congrats, Canada! Fuck every maga-hat wearing cunt in that building. #canadafucks #magasarecucks #freedomreigns

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt

A collaboration between Sufjan Stevens and Joshua Redman would be a beautiful thing

As with the NEA, it would preferable for PBS to no longer exist than for it to be the cultural arm for the ruling party’s social engineering programs.

My comfort-food shows historically and for the foreseeable future are: @mst3kofficial.bsky.social @rifftrax.com and The Red Green Show

Whatever happened to that hacker group Anonymous? Shouldn’t they be hacking/fucking up Elon’s shit?

Do 36% of respondents hate their partners? I could see this if the alternative was black licorice or something, but Mallo Cups are quality.

Every time you get a democrat begging for your money, donate to mutual aid needs, or to bail funds for the protesters who are being, have been, and will be arrested. Then you got trans organizations, and immigrant organizations. There's so many people who could do good with that money

If there’s one truly American attitude it is fuck you, I wont do what you tell me and we must tap into it as never before

Hey, every studio that doesn’t own the rights to Jurassic Park: you can make a dinosaur franchise too. It doesn’t need a plot, just CGI dinosaurs. It really is that easy—just look at all the Jurassic Park sequels.

Make a mental note about how much it sucks right now to be ignored or not listened to just because of your age … and when you’re older, remember that feeling and don’t put down younger folks like that. You’ll be happier, they’ll be happier, and you’ll have more friends.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

The only retroactive origin stories I actually want are Troy McClure’s “you might remember me from such films/educational shorts as…” films/shorts

Return of the King gets flak for its 4 endings but nobody ever talks about The Deadly Mantis (1957) having 4 pointless preambles

A local liquor store had a shelf-stable, 4-year-aged Founders Nemesis barleywine ale *on clearance* as if it wasn’t worth more than the fresh version. (Same store I once got a 24 pack crate of Southern Tier Pumking for $20 just cus it was January) On very rare occasions, ignorance is beautiful

I didnt think there would ever be a “Ketchup is cool and punk rock and art and also the pinnacle of scientific engineering” phase of American culture, but according to commercials we’re in it I guess Heinz saw many Americans making ranch dressing their personality and were like let’s do ketchup too

The lyric “come on get involved till the mystery is solved” makes it pretty clear Scooby-Doo only wants to be my work friend

The fact that Notre Dame lost in football is proof that God is angry at Notre Dame. #HisWillBeDone

Doctor McCoy handed out more stimulants in TOS than a Studio 54 dealer

Americans believe what they see on TV. Do they believe the CSI actors are real cops? No, but they DO believe they’re doing real science, which is false.

Damn, David Lynch actually meant something. Not only his films and shows, but also just knowing he was alive somewhere in this world made it feel like meaningful surreal art was still possible and had an audience.

Gmail just marked an email from Hillsdale College as spam and warned me “this message seems dangerous.” I guess Google does get some things right

If Batman were real in 2025, he wouldn’t fight the Joker (who he created)—he’d blame homeless people for creating the Joker and beat them up while Bruce Wayne lobbied for the death penalty for homelessness.

ASMR people appear to be one of the rare groups that can enjoy ridiculous source material (for example, old VHS pseudo-science quack videos) while actively acknowledging and rejecting the quackery as separate from the ASMR aspect they enjoy

Just rename Guy Pierce’s character Groundskeeper Willie and “Ravenous” (1999) could’ve been called “Ach, I’m Bad At This!”

I’d happily go the rest of my life never hearing a movie character described as “badass” ever again. It’s overused and tells me nothing.

Underrated TV show theme songs: 1. The Critic (1994) 2. KaBLam! (1996) 3. Hey Arnold! (1996) 4. Cowboy Bebop (1998) 5. The Venture Bros (2003)

Every character in Alien Romulus is like “oy me bruv, this Haytch Ahr Giger wanker is trying to bollocks me face”

FXX is like “every Simpsons ever…but actually just seasons 32-36”

I know TNG is often considered the better Star Trek series, but TOS had Abraham Lincoln fist fighting a Klingon

I found JD Vance in Stalker 2 (this is a video, not a gif)

My complaint with AI isn't that I think it'll cause an apocalypse or put everyone out of work. It's that I know what they really want it for, which is to offload responsibility. They want a machine to make the decisions so they, the humans in charge, can't be blamed.

It’s nearly 2025 and there’s STILL no 4K Blu-ray of The Muppet Christmas Carol?!?

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.
