instituting a new policy where if you reply to me with something even slightly annoying or that i consider disrespectful or condescending im blocking you good luck everyone
Kind of cool how in Ryan Gosling’s Ken we have the positive version of a method actor becoming the joker. Every pr quote from him is incomprehensible. He went too method for Barbie and now his brain doesn’t work
I need to know the drama that secured the three girls in the front their spots. I know at least one of those bobbing heads in the background is thinking only of their deaths
this week has been terrible but finding out tucker carlson's mom was an artist who was friends with david hockney, peaced out to go live in france when he was 6, and then left him a dollar in her will bc she fucking hated him has been a small piece of good news
i saw someone on tiktok take an almost empty jar of peanut butter and instead of scraping it out she added soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha and some other stuff and made peanut sauce, so i did that and it was great. tossed some cucumbers in it
dating apps have been very confusing for me because though I am technically someone with an “active lifestyle” and a “dark sense of humor” I am not the things those are euphemisms for (“thin” and “doesn’t mind racial slurs”)
Seems cool that we spent 18 months worrying about not having enough icu beds and in that time did not appear to build out any infrastructure that would allow us to have more icu beds
very cool that almost a million of us are dead and the people who run the country spend their time defending insider trading and making it illegal to talk about slavery
my only hot take about gen x is that they are very exciting people to date bc they don't know how to text normal, so every single text makes it seem like they are about to break up with you. makes me feel alive
One thing I love about living in New York is that it is socially acceptable to just RADIATE bad vibes when you’re pissed off. This is an unchangeable part of my nature that got me into trouble a lot when I lived in the south
a christmas carol is so fucking good because dickens knew the true meaning of christmas is thinking about your entire life, including your future, with regret
there has been a demonstrated solution to covid for at least half a year now. it's paying people to stay home. we havent even TRIED it in this country and i feel like im going FUCKING INSANE every time someone proposes some convoluted rationale for why we should try anything else
i know it's not the main issue here but WHY are these guys inviting 16 year olds to parties and why does no one at the parties ever seem to go "why is there a child here"
I wish you could take a film executive aside, show them this scene and make them understand that if this was done all with CGI, it wouldn't even make an audience blink... but because it's all done practically... It feels exciting, alive and present.
I mean, you don't, right? This is clearly an informed voter. They have articulated what they want. Either you try to do what they're telling you they want, and win their vote or you accept that you will not
not to subtweet the barbie freaks but KOTFM is actually a much more interesting feminist film in that it is partly about whether men and women can really share an authentic and equitable love when oppressive systems divide them. But w/e keep being mad a native woman is gonna win
remember when the game of thrones guys had all of these contracts to make other stuff and then they gave one single interview where they were like "lol we had no clue what we were doing but our dads are HELLA rich" and then they lost all the contracts
Have you ever checked how much pasta is in one serving of pasta according to the box? If you never have, NEVER do it. Never learn this information. It’s offensive
When I was younger I thought because the history of the Israel Palestine conflict was so complicated and long and thorny that it was impossible for someone like me to understand which side was the aggressor, which I now see as a classic example of how neoliberalism rots ur brain
i think people new to it are just very disappointed to find out that casual dating in adulthood is often confusing and leaves you feeling emotionally vulnerable and they would like to speak to the manager about this. sorry but that's just what it's like
I truly love Taylor swift fans who think her boyfriend is racist writing threads justifying their trip to see her concert like they’re justifying a trip to Israel or something lol
I am losing my FUCKING mind that an entire wing of the national press is painting TEXAS of all places as relying predominantly on renewable energy. It's fucking TEXAS, the entire fucking economy is based on natural gas!!!! what are you TALKING ABOUT
I feel like ppl from outside of New England don’t realize how crazy Rhode Island is. It’s like it’s just allowed to be corrupt bc it’s so small. All the other states are just like “idk let them have it”
Happy 80th birthday to Bernie Sanders, a man who, through merely being consistent and unshakable, over many decades, in his ultimately pretty straightforward beliefs about what is good and bad in this country, drove a bunch of people completely fucking nuts
it's crazy how if you are an underappreciated member of SNL you will go on to make incredible era defining comedy and if you are a celebrated member of SNL you will go on to be in every commercial
this guy is on a ventilator with covid rn after attending a big right wing anti vax convention in dallas where a ton of people got sick and then claimed they were victims of an anthrax attack.
madison cawthorn telling on ppl is really funny bc it's the first public reckoning of the fact that there are now true believers in congress. all the old guys were just doing kayfabe and now theyre like "oh no you actually think all that stuff we said on fox news was real" lol
A guy on my block called 911 and the police arrested HIM. Everyone started yelling at them that they got the wrong guy and 30 cops showed up out of nowhere and barricaded everybody in my block (a dead end). These fucking cops man
idk where this idea came from that society somehow negatively reacts to or penalizes women who are very feminine as opposed to women who are not, but it makes me feel fully insane. "let women be feminine" they don't just let us do that they MAKE us do that!!!
I watched raging bull for the first time last night and once again I am baffled that people watch Martin Scorsese films and think he loves toxic masculinity
My mom told me she put cayenne pepper in her birdseed to try and deter the squirrels from eating it and but the squirrels still eat it just as much they just squawk and slap their tails against at the ground after
i am watching an hbo doc about some weird evangelical weight loss church (??? idk just started it) and i am losing my fucking mind that the cover art for it is not a caricature or photoshopped image but an actual photograph of its founder
Just remembered last night a guy hit on me and I was very drunk so instead of saying I was just there to hang out w my bros I said “In this space.. right now... I am not a woman”
(Spoilers for may December maybe) it’s so perfect how the ultimate plot twist of the film is that it’s not actually a radical and human and complex story it’s just a woman with a personality disorder as is suggested by one of the only sane ppl in the film within the first 5 mins
So many contemporary movies and shows based on real events traffic in imitation, with uncanny impressions seen as the highest achievement. What May December does to incorporate this moment is 1000x more interesting.
At what point did the TSA rules for going thru security start being totally arbitrary? Every time I go to the airport they ask me to do different things. Do they decide different rules every day and if so how
it's funny that people are going "the jr staffers in diane feinstein's office aren't forcing her to keep working!" when like... yeah we know. the issue is that at some point they clearly realized their boss was senile and they were like "that's fine as long as it helps my career"
I'm a woman. Please don't ever refer to me as a person with a uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates. How do people not realize how degrading this is? You can support the transgender community without doing this shit.
once again posting examples of the badass andean architecture movement spearheaded by indigenous architect freddy mamani that flourished under evo morales to celebrate jeanine anez going to jail
watching seinfeld on netflix, recalling the time in india when a seinfeld episode came on my host family's tv and i said "ooh everyone watch this, this is my culture" and it was the one where george's fiancee dies from licking all the wedding envelopes and they were horrified
I feel like in order to survive in this world without getting duped into doing stuff like eating horse medicine, about half of high school curricula should just be media literacy and statistics classes
things ppl on this app are incapable of being normal about
- chain restaurants
- hiking
- people who are different ages dating
- sometimes people who wear a hardhat are rich and people who do excel spreadsheets are poor
I'm sick of cancel culture. Comedy should be about jokes. Please see my new comedy special where I complain about this for one joke-free hour. Thank you.
personally wont be shedding many tears over idiots who chose not to protect themselves from getting a potentially serious illness but this is pretty dire as far as public health guidance goes...
watching taylor lorenz squander all of the good will she built up doing objectively courageous reporting about the right by going out of her way to criticize any form of labor advocacy that doesn't happen exactly to her extremely specific standards is so depressing
i think about it a lot. really says dark things about what must go on in a lot of american households that people thought evidence of a person being loving toward their troubled son would somehow be incriminating
i cant be the first person to point this out but it's so funny that "tankie" as a term has lost all meaning to the point where now it means someone who *doesn't* want to send tanks to an eastern european country
Watched the menu. Thinking about the consequences the success of parasite has had in the film industry. Feel like movie execs sit around in their mansions doing blow and being like “hating rich people is so hot right now”
one thing being in comedy has taught me is that if you like someone's shit you should tell them you like it bc they are probably spiraling about how their shit sucks at all times
