if a shark bites you, you should turn into a shark why do only vampires wield such power

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

[no lies detected]

These men both deserve their nominations this year but what in the holy screaming fuck is this framing?

“another crack in Oscar’s glass ceiling”

This is so stupid and so blinkered, particularly because it’s almost exclusively about young white hot men.

YouTube video by Olympics Alysa Liu wins the Olympic gold medal for the United States

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

the most important lesson about road safety is to let go of the presumption that other drivers want to be alive

Hi! Occasional YA writer here. Can we stop acting like every YA author thinks this way because of a few annoying ones who had this take a decade ago?

Echoing everyone who said this take is absolute garbage though. Books don't expire.

Agent Epsilon says with Stefania Plinth "And once I've found your diamond, maybe we can find some way to celebrate." Stefania looks receptive to this idea. Both women are in 60s outfits, Epsilon in a teal mod short-sleeved dress and Stefania in a blue and cream dress with a wide collar and double-breasted buttons up the front. She's got cats-eye glasses and her hair is in a tight bun. Both are standing in the geology museum, with display cases of rocks, framed phots of how plate tectonics work, and a T-rex skeleton in the back. The scene is purple and gold and the whole thing is drawn in a mid-century modern art style.

Happy Valentine's Day and happy #ScreenshotSaturday from Agent Epsilon and all of Puzzle Spy International!

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

Not Ireland catching strays

Don't ever feel regret about going "no contact."

lack of empathy, lack of imagination, lack of creativity, lack of intelligence, lack of innovation, fear of the unknown, fear of the foreign, fear of the self, I could keep going

My family doesn't really understand why I don't want to bring my Irish partner to America (because they're the kind of people who put blinders on to various atrocities) and why I'm planning on fully immigrating to Ireland someday. This. This is why. This is fucking horrifying.

Because their entire belief system is built on reactionary politics and antagonizing people. At no point are they trying to reclaim joy, they're trying to suppress it in others. They confuse enjoying the suffering of others with joy. And also, for a bunch of haters, they're not even good at that

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

In much the same way that COVID was the epidemiological event of the decade.

Being exposed to the art and creativity of other cultures and peoples is good actually. what kind of dreary life would it be if we couldn't enjoy simple human creation, it is the literal heart of society

getting upset because you listened to music in a language you didn't understand reveals either a fundamental lack of engagement with art or just plain racism, I'm sorry

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Most times I see purity tests mentioned, what they mean is "please stop caring that the candidate has a history of anti-trans stances". So I'm at the stage where anyone using the term needs to explicitly describe which policies they think are optional, because I'm not tolerating dogwhistles.

more than anything

it’s weird that hate5six is still a beloved figure in concert taping when his instagram is basically just nonstop fedposting and weird posts about how 99% of jews are zionists innit

you have to be a real piece of shit to be a foreign vice president well-known enough to be loathed on sight

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

amazing that Mamdani shows the way to connect with young voters is to be genuine, love what you do, and have bold policies, while national Dems are incapable of doing those things and instead rely on trying to co-opt memes that make them instantly uncool
