Grokipedia’s lengthy entry on “White Supremacism” has a funny way of ending most of its paragraphs by saying some variant of, “but actually, it’s not so bad, and/or the anti-racists are worse”

“Or worse - the president could declare a state of emergency - place every mutant in the country under arrest.”

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me with these disclaimers they’re putting on the top of certain HHS web pages (containing info they had to restore because they lost a lawsuit). This page is about youth risk behaviors.

You’re in an up-and-coming band. You’re worked hard, built a following, got signed to a major. Your last album did well, to the point there’s a lot of eyes on you - this could be the one that turns you into a household name.

You turn to your two bandmates: “This album will be called PORK SODA.”

Looks like the rest of America is equally excited to join me for a Father’s Day screening of BALLERINA!

I don’t think this email is quite conveying what you want it to, Netflix

Damn, not only did #MythicQuest come roaring back this season with some of the most inspired episodes they’ve ever done, they stuck the landing with the strongest finale since s1. What a comedy.

Just got my ticket, would strongly advise not sleeping on this one

What an absolute treat to finally see LOST HIGHWAY in a theater with a bunch of other excitable weirdos. This movie taught me that sexy could also somehow be deeply unsexy and creepy at the same time. I’m sure that didn’t mess me up

I’ll let you guys know if it sucks or not

You guys we fucked up by sleeping on this one

Best fictional band since Josie & The Pussycats

Ah, the ol’ “sex trafficking is bad vs. sex trafficking is totally cool” debate

Alright who is going with me to this, Chicago

@disneyplushelp.bsky.social Hey Disney+, quick question: Are you kidding with this update to your terms of service, or do you genuinely not get the cognitive dissonance of saying "we will now make you watch ads in the 'ad-free' tier you're paying for"? Because hoo boy if it's the latter.
