Song Sung Blue is a really great film. Kate Hudson likely won't win the best actress Oscar, but if she does, she earned it IMO.

"You and I" or "You and me"?

Which one is right?

Both…depending on whether ‘I/me’ is the subject or the object.

-"You and I are going to the store." (subject)

-"This is for you and me." (object)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Jerry Jones just become the first NFL owner to announce their retirement? I thought they just died and the team was then inherited by the weirdest child.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.

the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

If you were to change every instance of the word "electrolytes" to "peptides" in IDIOCRACY, you'd effectively update the movie to perfectly satirize the current bro podcast hive mind.

I will reiterate that I've never had cause to regret abandoning the former Twitter more than two years ago now, and have suffered neither personally nor professionally for doing so. Since I left it's become more toxic and, yes, evil. The people who are still there should really consider moving on.
