Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Thanks to Derry Girls, now whenever someone on Blue Lights refers to “a ride” I know what that means (I’d probably get it from context, but still)

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach.
You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING.
You do nothing? You get nothing.
Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I’m pretty stoked about how many women I saw at an OC-area Barnes and Noble the other day, clutching piles of books bought with holiday money and so clearly excited to read them all

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

I don’t care if this sounds desperately uncool, but according to Apple Music my most listened album of 2025 is Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and it’s as amazing as ever (certain lyrics aside)
