They should change the format of the dunk contest next year, to wit:
1) a 2K MyPlayer no one has ever heard of before has three chances to do a dunk we've seen multiple times before
2) everyone on the internet *dunks on the player* for being derivative
3) the best post wins a cash prize

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:
- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next

Realizing today that I've been on social media way too long, because I've already done all the good Valentine's Day bits ("Watch HAPPY TOGETHER," posting a photo of Eddie Murphy from TRADING PLACES, "The only good Valentine's candy is John" et al) multiple times at this late date.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Of all the Warner Brothers contract players from the 40s, you proclaim a day in honor of Ronald Reagan? Really? Not Claude Raines? Not Barton MacLane? Not George Tobias? I call bullshit!

Looking forward to the "remember when Gavin Fucking Newsom thought he was going to be president" jokes in a couple years (and, yes, I understand the conditions under which those jokes can be made, that's why I'm looking forward to them)

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is really just an extended cautionary tale about the dangers of asking why the property you'd like to rent is currently available.

I don’t get why people feel the need to defend Gavin Newsom even if they say they don’t like Gavin Newsom when Gavin Newsom has not indicated in any polling that he’s a stronger candidate than anyone else. If he was running 10 points ahead of everyone I’d at least understand why it was happening.

The problem with video games is too many of them are too hard and not enough of them involve driving around in a car armed to the teeth listening to Chet Baker

after growing up in an environment where seemingly the goal of every pot brownie maker was to launch you to the moon every single night, the mainstreaming of low dose weed gummies in the 2-10MG range is probably the best thing that has ever or could ever happen to weed and "weed culture"

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.
