People put a bizarre amount of time into figuring out the often-arbitrarily selected number assigned to a fictional character's age and then using it to get angry at each other over fanworks.

A lot of people think it's silly to make an HBO adaptation of Harry Potter so soon after the movie series ended, as if just to funnel money toward JK Rowling, but crucially, where the films were lighthearted and comedic, the HBO series follows the continuity and tone of the original Mirage comics

they're translating your ass literally in the QRTs. yeah they really didn't like your pop culture reference in that one scene. uh huh yeah no your figures of speech are also gone. you sound just like you do in the original language, which doesn't really work that well in English. sorry dude

t'es woke toi. toi t'es un woke left. tu supporte les hérétiques pis les dragons. veux-tu savoir mes pronoms? mes pronoms: ish/gard. thor/dan. ha/lo/ne. toi c’est quoi tes pronoms, hein? vas-y. dis-moi tes pronoms. dark/knight? shi/va? j’vas prier pour toi.

THANK YOU I’m so nervous about it I hope it turns out well and people don’t think I’m a dumb gay idiot

I LOVE HIM BUT LITERALLY EVERY TIME I TALK TO HIM I FEEL THE NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR WHO I AM AS A PERSON BDEKJSHDJDJ

anyway, aforementioned fave author (not john green, sorry) emailed me this morning volunteering to write a foreword for the book (which is both an incredibly sweet and incredibly funny thing for him to do) and once again I am forced to confront my sordid past. I’m sorry king

Also when I met John green in 2011 I requested he say “mmm pizza” for me as if he was a cartoon character and that was his catch phrase. He seemed pained by this request. So remember, it could always be worse

If you ever get embarrassed about stupid shit you did as a teen, take solace in the fact that at least the very first words you ever said to your favorite author when you first met face to face weren’t “we’ve come here to kinkshame you”

with discord being how it is, we all know who's always been there for us...

Remember…

Every time I have ever walked by a ring camera I have tried to say and do as little as possible and to look away. Same with how I try not to speak around Alexas. Not to belittle people just discovering this, but like. I don’t think it’s remotely novel so the sudden uproar is kind of odd to me

the weirdest part about reports that ring is now using its network of cameras to create a massive unified police state surveillance system is that I could have sworn they’d already been doing that for over a decade

All yearners please report to the yearning tower, all yearners please report

This one is always very impressive to me too because I found the audio quality on my childhood vhs tapes very difficult to understand so whenever I know ANY words to a Disney song I’m like “where did I get these from”

This is genuinely how the internet feels nowadays

ALL THE TIME yesterday I couldn’t even place HOW I knew the song in my head or where the fuck I’d heard it??? I think maybe an amv????

AAAAAAA CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

get his ass

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.
