Love it they’re bringing back legacy villains for the final season of the UK

I wasn’t going to watch this but you convinced me. I’m 4 episodes in an OH BOY it’s so good.

I save just the part with the sticker. I can’t imagine throwing the sticker away, it feels sacrilegious.

i was watching a bunch of episodes of the x-files that end with duchovny dictating his reports like "since the dawn of time man has looked up. perhaps he should have looked down" and I was like who the fuck is reading these. turns out it's skinner

On the flip-side, of course, this exact same mechanism of a tweet leaving its intended audience (golf course “turfheads” apparently) and being pounced on by millions of strangers, is also what always made twitter hell on earth, even before Apartheid Clyde took over. Swings and roundabouts.

The thing I loved so much and will miss dearly about twitter is the way things like this can evolve over a period of about 12 hours. When you can watch something grow and be picked up and run with by everyone in your orbit, it can be a genuinely, heartwarmingly delightful experience. #teamjavelinas

Pet nap posting, go

A meme in the style of the "you wouldn't steal a car" meme, but instead there are four separate sections of text. They read, respectively: You wouldn't enter a hospital. You wouldn't talk to the receptionist. You wouldn't talk to a doctor. You wouldn't comfort your grieving wife.

a triumph of memetic engineering

Once again I am being gaslit (disagreed with) by a narcissist (person who disagrees with me)

Scully, Mulder and Skinner in a three way split screen still from the X Files. They are each in a bubble bath, drinking and on the phone with each other.

Up to season 7 of my X-Files rewatch and honestly it’s been a delight. I’d forgotten how wonderfully silly this show was. Anyway here’s my OG OT3. I love them so much.

i think my crankiest “i am approaching middle age” opinion these days is that IP shared universe franchises have not just been bad for the movies but bad for audiences to, in that they have basically trained them to treat story and character as secondary to LORE and EASTER EGGS

headed to my second rodeo, super excited

Badass, Chip 😎
Real Badass.

John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry (20 July 1844 - 31 January 1900), was a British nobleman of the Victorian era, remembered for his atheism, his outspoken views, his brutish manner, for lending his name to the “Queensberry Rules" that form the

That’s actually correct, though, the title is Marquess (MAR-kwuss) of Queensberry.

The Office I declare bankruptcy meme, but it says I declare public domain

Today's comics discourse

Aah I didn’t even know you were doing this and then this passed through my feed. I just finished season 1, it’s been 20 years.

Not gonna lie, this one hits hard. Dammit, Ayoade. But also: Bye, bitch.

Bill Maher is a scab? Wow this totally changes my previously high opinion of that smug Islamophobic racist transphobic misogynistic attention-whore.

In the same decade we came up with “metrosexual” and “bromance” to clarify that there is a special straight way for a man to wash his ass and have a close friend, respectively

Many are saying that she should Drew Barryless

It’s important to understand that this is the way all capitalists think about all the “little people” they exploit; this one is just saying it with no filter, which happens every now and then with people who have become accustomed to thinking of their fellow human beings as food.

companies programmed us to refer to art, music, video, and writing as "content" to make it seem like it comes from the website and not from a person who had to think of it and make it
