I love this movie so much.

The "we clearly don't know how a radio station works, but it looks cool" set design!

The off-brand cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" on the soundtrack!

The girls' post-apocalypse machine gun stash, courtesy of their mercenary contractor dad!

Peak 80s, all of it. 😆

The main difference between their characters is that I would view Butthead as being morally culpable for his crimes in a way I wouldn’t for Beavis. Beavis I’m almost instantly arguing down to manslaughter, Butthead is full Murder One

Meanwhile, I'm down here at the level where I know people this rich exist in an abstract sense, but like . . .

There are folks just dropping gold & jewels at every holiday? For serious? Like the Monopoly man?
that's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration

Can you imagine the reaction of the person who learned about egg salad from its inventor

Yeah man, just like, a scoop of chopped eggs

Ok, but what’s holding them together?

Whipped eggs, what the hell else would you use

Trying to do the "what perfect album came out when you were 16?" meme, and it's really driving home that the music scene was *DIRE* around the turn of the millennium.

I can go down the list of releases & find stuff that was in heavy rotation in my discman, but perfect? HELL no.

He knows if you are sleeping,
But you won't be for long
Because he's screaming by the fence,
And the screaming forms this song...
Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

I wonder - is obsessively tidying before the apartment maintenance guy shows up the same kind of sickness as cleaning up for the cleaning lady? Or it it its own thing?

I kinda wonder how much of the problem is outdated vocab - people seeing "social emotional learning" and assuming it's hippy shit instead of "is your child well-behaved and not a jackass to their classmates?"

Of course, it could be a lot of parents are just wilfully obtuse about it.
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your decision today hinges on a very simple question that goes right to the soul of what America is all about: should a man be allowed, out of the goodness of his heart, to give a delicious sandwich to a member of our law enforcement community?
