I vividly recall realizing in the shower in March 2020 that we were entering the most online period in human history and that this would drive many people insane - and anyway, I agree completely

β€œThat felt frog wearing a top hat is to celebrate the Lord” is one of those phrases that lives on repeat in my head.

What if you were cosplaying The Name of the Rose but you loved Labubus? I think it would look something like THIS

I repeat: I relate to Carol in Pluribus more than I have ever related to any character in any show ever

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins

A classic Charlie Brown Hoes moment. Anyone can just declare anything the Whatever of the Year. Gloss is the official finish of the year 2025 or whatever. Flint is the stone of the year! Anything!

People are so fixated on heroic fantasy they have to call a story "ambiguous" when it is clearly about a traditional laconic sheriff/cowboy just straight up LOSING the battle against evil, because he can't figure out how to face evil without becoming evil himself and he is (reasonably!) scared!

Saw this and momentarily thought Rachel Brosnahan had gotten engaged to Ernie.

Also there have been very few superhero metaphors as strong as "rage is as unhelpful to you as punching mist would be because your real problems are not material but psychological"

They should invent a university that prioritizes teaching and research

It's overly simplistic to suggest this is money that would've gone to other university aspects like education and research b/c this is to some degree donor-funded and those donors care about football and not those other things. But it's still galling and grim to compare faculty and these parasites.

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
