Unfortunate consequence of the girlboss era is that wealthy failheiresses go into business instead of being patrons of the arts now.

Do you guys really think ISTTVG is among the greatest films ever made? Like for real? Like I get that it's resonant, but for real?

I think they think it's ballroom but it's Polari but also why are you doing this?

Saw someone say "white people can't be trade." They really trying to gatekeep trade.

There are a lot of genuinely good, even great parts, and I know the maximalism is the point conceptually, but there are just so many flubs and wack lines and overegging the pudding. The fact that it is sort of on purpose doesn't absolve it of sin.

"Joelle, at the end of her rope and about to hang from it..." Nah. Nope. Sorry, but no.

Saw a random page of Infinite Jest and was reminded why I cannot abide it.

The problem is that you fools all take French instead of Latin, so you never learn how to properly speak English.

I know nobody cares about this shit, but it's real to me damn it.

Imperfect is not "weaker" than the perfect. They do different things. "It was growing dark outside," refers to the time period in which the continuous action of getting dark happens, whereas "It grew dark outside" refers to the event of it getting dark.

Arguing with an essay I read: English does not have an imperfect tense. We use the past progressive instead. Past progressive is not a perfect replacement for the imperfect (unable to express continuous states of being) so you can't just switch the terms.

There's a new Mitski and no one told me? The group chat has failed me.

Crying Wesley Snipes holding a gun

Discovering that Tubi is a Murdoch-owned Fox subsidiary

Told someone, "I read an article that real snake oil is actually good for you" and hearing it out loud it was like "Wow yeah, they totally would've grifted the shit out of me."

A part of me genuinely wonders if looksmaxxers have internalized Handsome Squidward as the masculine ideal.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

I'm super annoying. I would definitely at least mute me.

You guys care too much about getting blocked on here. I will block any of you for any reason, and I hope you do the same to me.

Imagining a fantasy antifascist novel but instead of Nazi-coded bad guys they're fighting an art war with Italian futurist-coded bad guys.

I bet Gianmarco's girlfriend has one friend who is on his ass like Javert.

I really wish people were better about saying which terrible laws are actually likely to pass and which aren't

Good thing I am a responsible adult whose only caffeine intake is coffee and caffeine powder and hot chocolate with caffeine in it and mushroom coffee with caffeine in it. But no energy drinks!

I went through the mortifying ordeal of being known by video to show off finished copies of SEASONS OF GLASS AND IRON! Pre-order it wherever you get your books! Here are some places you can do that, though I’ll always recommend your local indie first. torpublishinggroup.com/seasons-of-g...

It's like how narcissists are real but most of the time people online talk about narcissists they just mean someone who is kind of selfish.

Like yeah, there are people like that, but most people do actually believe the things they say they believe.

The idea that people you disagree with are automatically suspect, that they are not just wrong but hiding a secret evil ideology and are just pretending to believe the things they say they believe, that singular mistakes and failures are more representative of some "true self" than everyday behavior

Lowkey I think the concept of "mask off" has absolutely ruined Internet discourse.

I can make myself see it white and good or blue and black like those rabbit/duck illusions, so seeing people bicker about it makes me feel like I have transcended human subjectivity and achieved cosmic awareness.

They are relitigating the dress on X, the everything app.
