Are people still plucking flower petals and saying β€œShe loves me, she loves me not”? Feel like that used to be a lot bigger when I was growing up

If you’re a non-actor with a weird face there’s like a 90% chance you will be cast in a Josh Safdie movie at some point in your life

Everyone’s trying to figure out why the fuck Trump is doing this. I have no idea, but people are sleeping on this angle: Denmark’s female PM basically laughed at him when he tried to buy Greenland in 2019

What do you think the birthday cards were like when Paul McCartney turned 64, do you think anyone didn’t do it

Turns out the Epstein Files are just hundreds upon hundreds of blacked out documents. I declare President Trump INNOCENT.

Does anyone else’s ChatGPT constantly to tell them β€œdon’t overthink it” or is mine just extra condescending

When the news first broke I was trying to think of the best ways it could turn out, and this is probably the worst it could have turned out.

It never gets mentioned when people talk about Reiner’s run of great movies, but I have a weird soft spot for North. I don’t know why but when I was a kid I watched North like 12 times. I don’t think anyone else did that, like in the world

Just imagining one of the candidates being like "Uhh, maybe a parade where they walk backwards the whole time?" and it tanks their candidacy

Can't stop thinking about the question, "Are there any parades that don't exist that you think should?" By far the funniest thing ever asked at a debate.

I can’t believe that in this whole giant bill nobody included an amendment that movie theaters have to have a little countdown clock in the corner when they’re playing trailers that shows how much time until the movie actually starts so you know if you have time for a last pee

Whatever happens, and whatever you think of him, Zohran has run an incredible campaign that Democrats (or anyone) should learn from. This man was polling at 1% in February.
