The most elder-millennial thing I ever did was back when everything was coming out on DVD, my friends & I got really excited to get drunk & watch the He-Man cartoon together, and maybe two minutes in we were like “oh right this sucks and is for kids”

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

Not even two quarters in and there have already been six ads for Corbin Bernsen’s new mice killing service. How does he have the money for this?

Absolutely impossible to imagine a conservative doing a normal post about enjoying sports. Last Olympics, 9 billion tweets about the not-even-trans boxer and satanic opening ceremonies, this year anti American athletes & Bad Bunny. No one’s EVER just like “holy shit Hilary Knight!!!”

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.
