I’ve been thinking about it, and this might be one of the best jokes The Simpsons ever did.

It wasn’t offered nationwide, but they’ve done a Resident Evil event before.

It already exists and it’s… not great.

I hope @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social is keeping track of all these weird (and weirdly early) Stranger Things tie-ins.

This one seems to be just Honey Combs with marshmallows.

I’ve always wanted to collect thousands of copies of a mostly worthless card of a great player. Like this 1995 Topps Ken Griffey Jr that typically sells for a buck. I don’t know, just seems like fun.

I think I already have two.

So we’re definitely getting a Hades II release date, right?

It’s the only online game I was ever legitimately good at. It needs to come back!

Maybe it’s me, but if I read this, I picture Doom.

This part really spoke to how I’ve always thought about a church I haven’t attended in decades.

When you filter out all the crap, there is good stuff there. I was taught helping others was the most important thing. None of the rest of it (anti-abortion, anti-gay, etc) was ever mentioned.

I stumbled across "1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times" a few days ago and I am fascinated by this cover.

None of the people on the cover seem particularly linked to 1999 and it led me down a big rabbit hole trying to figure it out...
