King of the Hill is an inherently conservative show with an undeniably right-wing worldview and it is the only time conservatives have ever been funny

When voters vote for someone I like, they are noble savages. When they don’t, they are irrational hogs to be herded

A lot of people being angry about Trump making the White House look ugly which is wild to me because I can’t imagine caring about or respecting the White House enough to give a shit about its aesthetics. We’re a bad country and we deserve to have an ugly, tacky building represent us. It’s funny!

Just realized Melville was 31 when he wrote the greatest novel in the English language 🙃

Reading Moby Dick is like a 4D experience because, just like Ishmael, I now can’t shut the fuck up about whales and whaling

Thinking about how Herman Melville didn’t know about whale songs and I’m so upset about this that I need to dig him up and make him write a new chapter

I regret to inform you all that I’m rereading moby dick and it continues to be maybe the best book to ever come out of America? In any case a truly life-altering book and I’m incapable of being normal about how good it is

An important piece of my lore: when I was 14 my friends and I stole George W Bush lawn signs from people’s yards and burned them, which I was embarrassed by when I got a little older but now that I’m even older still I realize we were right actually lol

JUDGEMENT DAY, originally published in 1953. Comic Code Administrator Judge Charles Murphy rejected this story because the astronaut was Black. William Gaines, EC’s publisher, ran the story anyway. Art by Joe Orlando. 👩🏿‍🚀✨

I would never ask an ai if it wanted a copy of Slingblade on VHS that I found at a thrift store but I will always ask a rare books librarian this @blearyeyedduty.bsky.social
"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance
