The last time the Dallas Cowboys made the NFC Championship Game, George Burns and Gene Kelly were still alive and RENT was months away from debuting on Broadway. The Baltimore Ravens were not yet an NFL team.

it’s migraine inducing to realize people like Will don’t comprehend that candidates are trying to convince people they can help improve their lives and that they have the skills and knowledge to do that

One thing I like about the Knives Out movies is that they're all very different with very different vibes, and it's perfectly reasonable to think any one of them is the best.

I am kind of enjoying this season of Stranger Things but mostly because I’ve emotionally checked out and am focused on the humor and 80s references and ignoring how poorly paced and plotted it all is.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

there was a (since edited/deleted) Wikipedia entry about how someone brought a fork to a party and people were fucking amazed and yes I don’t care how real it is we need more stories of people losing their shit over stuff like this that is now mundane in our lives
the shit I care least in the whole world about is whether the story about the Earl of Sandwich is true. yes it fucking was. my man was playing cards and eating meat with his hands and then he said hold up check this out. you won't believe this shit. bring me some fucking bread & hold onto your hats
