Welp, guess Pinterest will basically become unusable. It was already heading downhill with all the AI but this certainly won’t help.

If there's one thing that signals film illiteracy from someone online, it's when they deride humor used in another genre as being "a Marvel-like quip."

Go watch DIE HARD. "No shit, lady! Do you think I'm ordering a pizza?!" is the exact same kind of line that now gets called "quippy"

Dear universe: please stop making medical emergencies happen for my friends. If you have it to spare: Lane is one of the best and fiercest defense attorneys I know, and his commitment to pro- and low-bono work means a long medical recovery could be really rough for him financially.

My friend Dorothy needs help funding her very best cats eye enucleation. Buffy has suffered a lens subluxation and is in pain.

I know Dorothy IRL and can vouch for her and her love for her cats.

Any help would be AMAZING. (she doesn't know I'm sharing here)

WE NEED SOME ORCAS
We're holding out for some orcas till the end of the night

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable.

If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.
meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??

between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

AND WEAR A FUCKING MASK
I really, really hope everyone posting about having a cold or the flu feels better soon, but I really, really, REALLY hope you're all testing for Covid. Even if it wouldn't change how you treat yourself, it could make a difference in how dangerous you are to others. Please test & isolate if needed!

Lilith Fair Stu is building a mystery
That one post is wrong on the math. The joke with Disco Stu is that he was a guy over 40, still into music from a little under twenty years prior (late 70s to mid-90s)

Disco Stu today would be a Gen Xer who still dresses like he did at Vice coke parties in 2005 and calls himself “Dancepunk Stu”

I feel like we’ve gone quite a few rounds of “this guy is unfortunately not the guy you want him to be,” and it never really sticks.
Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance

Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn

one thing that sunk only more fully in, being sick with covid again, is how people position those of us who never stopped masking as having some weird individual vibes-based fear, when the reality is the end of what *community-level* covid prevention
and care infrastructure there was is why we mask
