Kirby has no ankles because the Goddess Athena saw what became of Achilles and sought to fashion a warrior that, this time, would not plagued by a single flaw
Why is there slave labor in Harry Potter. Couldn't you just use magic to do stuff. Why did she put that in. Learning about those books was a huge mistake
Feels like "head of the Boston Police union is a child molester and they knew" should be a bigger story, I guess it got drowned out by the other stories about police being murderers
AOC isn't your friend. The podcasters you listen to aren't your friends. The people you chat with most days aren't your friends. You are completely alone, hurtling, anonymous, through the vacuum of space
A man is "shirtless" while a woman is "topless." One might say this refers to women's larger variety of clothing options. More intriguingly, it implies we have not decided on men's orientation in space. Who knows where the top of a man is
The tragedy of the slap is people trying to make it about Society when it's a specific thing that happened between incredibly weird people. A GI Jane joke? A Scientologist couple? None of this is applicable or relatable beyond a single point in spacetime
"Tiktok star kisses sick emu, creating human variant of avian flu strain that decimates 60% of the population" sounds like the fitting end for America, frankly. Couldn't have written it better
nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early
astronaut: space has billionaires
nasa employee: what?
astronaut: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* space has billionaires
Donald Duck does not wear pants because they would interfere with production of preen oil, created in a gland in the rump, that makes his feathers resistant to water
Mos Def's response when asked if Drake's music is hip-hop:
"Drake is pop to me. In the sense like, if I was in Target in Houston, and I heard a Drake song... It feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping."
"Netflix automatically considers two people to be watching whenever something is streamed" is the funniest fucking thing oh my god streaming is a dead end
Supreme Court decisions now are always like, "In a 6-3 decision, the Court has ruled you're allowed to kill people in the name of Christ. 'I really don't think you should be able to kill people in the name of Christ,' remarked Sotomayor in her dissent"
I love Twitter's attempt to moderate content. It's like "are you sure you want to see this," you click a button that says "yes, I'm a craven degenerate," and it reveals a photo of a crab holding a package of Mentos
"The X-Files" creator Chris Carter was asked “where’s the sex appeal?” by studio executives when he cast Gillian Anderson.
“Even though Gillian’s beautiful, she wasn’t their idea of sexy...they didn’t understand what I was trying to do with the show."
Thelonious Monk performing “Blue Monk” with Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone, Larry Gales on bass and Ben Riley on drums live at the University Aula in Oslo, Noway, 1966.
Always wear your opera gloves when you attend the opera. Also wear your opera goggles. Know the location of the opera safety shower station. Now you are ready to handle that dangerous and corrosive material, the opera
Penn Badgley on why he requested no sex scenes for "YOU" Season 4:
"I just thought we hadn't had any awful 'sex on film' discourse in awhile. I love reading the worst, most tedious takes people have. So does my wife. Reading them together enhances our marriage."
Neil deGrasse Tyson is so funny. The culture was like, "can we please have a science communicator who is charming and avuncular" and the store was like "what about this horrible dweeb with sexual misconduct allegations." That's a second thing
Guy who treats establishing shots like people on here treat sex scenes. Rolls his eyes any time we see a building's exterior. "The characters are inside. Why do we need to see what the house looks like from the street." Loudly groans whenever someone pulls up somewhere in a car
Jack Black was regularly hanging around on set for Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘MEGALOPOLIS’
He won’t star in the film, he just wanted to watch Coppola work.

Nobody has ever partied as hard as skeletons in a cemetery in a 1930s cartoon. Using their heads as bongos. Doing cartwheels.. Letting one skelly use a broom to sweep them up into a big bone pile. The Euphoria kids could never
The Swedish Chef is the best Muppet. Shockingly pure in conception. Just one tall hippie's antipathy towards northern Europe. How can they fit so much disrespect in such a small felt man
Heard they caught the animal that put the three gashes in every can of Monster Energy Drink. They're gonna euthanize it on Christmas. I thought that was a really sad detail
A Twilight Zone about a guy who returns to the office after two years of working from home, only to find that in the office it's still February 2020. He tries to tell his coworkers about covid but everyone dismisses him. The episode ends with him being too scared to go home again
I miss the curly landline phone cord. They should make phone charger cords curly to compensate. Just bringing a certain level of flavor back to the cluttered kitchen counter. Wrapping the cord around my finger like a teen about to be killed in 1974
People who complain about sex scenes in films are sore winners. When was the last time anybody saw a sex scene in a mainstream film? I think they're just remembering a film from 1995 and getting mad
Every Elon guy is like, "Wokes are the real elites. Blue collar workers never make fun of their boss or quit their job. Crawling on the ceiling is the easiest way to move from one room to the next. Moulting and leaving a 6-foot husk in the break room is a key part of management"
Upset that my friend waited until today to tell me the story of seeing Elton John and Billy Joel in concert, how the piano didn't work, and Billy Joel took off his sportsjacket to get under the piano to fix it, like a car
Watching Schitt's Creek... I simply don't understand how Catherine O'Hara talks that way. I feel like I'm watching the comedic performance equivalence of a Simone Biles routine
All transphobic comedians are channeling their jealousy about the fact they'll never be half as funny as Eddie Izzard relating a historical anecdote in a cocktail dress
A romantic comedy where a man and woman meet cute in a bookstore, but they don't know that she's the one who wrote the article about the top romcoms of all time that didn't include any old movies, and he's the internet poster that excoriated her
So is the Jolene that Beyonce is singing about the same Jolene Dolly Parton was singing about? She must be ancient and still chasing after married men. Fair play
I refuse to wear a mask into the store. "Ma'am, we can't let you in here," one of the associates explains. I storm off in a huff. The year is 2005, and I am once again too ugly to buy cream cheese
An anime is defined not by whether it's Japanese animation, but whether it's 65% enjoyable and 35% embarrassing. A live-action French film can be anime. A first date that's going fine until he starts crying about his ex is anime
