not enough discourse on the choice of Ramen for the Alfredo 2 cover art, THE PEOPLE SEE THIS

real talk Hulk Hogan is the reason the internet stopped being fun

Ethiopian depiction of the story about the nun Sophia. Sophia is sleeping in the middle of the image, an angel is lifting a small baby from her belly. On the right, Saint Mary and Baby Jesus are watching.

Have you heard about the nun Sophia who got pregnant, and then St Mary sent angels to remove the baby from the nun's womb before she was punished?

(Don't worry, the baby got a good new home 👶🏾)

Oh right shoulda led with this, I was laid off and would like to work! DM for my email

!!!!!

Wait actually what yes tell me

As a bit he pulled two shot glasses and splashed some in.

It brings me no pleasure to report MD still tastes like ass.

I asked the (black) bartender if it was, indeed, mad dog. It is

I asked “is it mainly white people that order this?” Affirmative.

Hold the phone when did they gentrify bum wine

In pray to god this is a decal slapped on a tap for a funky sour or something

Honestly sucks that Astromer is a buzz-worded out data software company. This saga would be so much better if it led to some weird ass gentleman scientist scandal. The people are thirsty for cope-marsh level drama.

Andy may have let down his family, but he let the streets down, too.

Eh, there’s almost certainly a pic of me and the fellas posted up like this

I think about this a lot.
Like, have you ever seen bosom buddies photos? Because on one hand you just wanna know how long this thang has been going on; but on the other you’re like, has modern society just really fried what having male friends look like?

Internet needs to step its game up, yeesh

Cuomo: I am now running on affordability.

Also Cuomo: there is no “real answer” on affordability.

This actually would’ve not made be blink an eye if it happened five years ago in deep COVID

Goddamn it is comically serious here, on the sky, that is blue

Call me Ishmael. Because I’m him.

Walking into a bar with mainly white patrons with the black bartender blasting The Day the Niggaz Took Over is insane work.

We should all embrace insanity.

What happens if you get in a fight and take a punch like you’re taking a charge

And then look around and ask for a citizen ref to call the foul

Yes I am sure manhunts are hard work but it’s wild they found old boy taking a hike in his backyard

Upstate at a wedding today I’m gonna invite everyone back to the room for a Reservoir Dogs-Dog Day Afternoon- Do the Right Thing triple feature, which is honestly not as thematically disconnected as you may think

I gotta be real, what would happen to the NYC black voter share if we all had a screening of the movie zohran’s mom directed feat an early career Denzel. A movie that ROCKS btw.

“Ayo ma lemme show you a transformation”
*i am become voltron*

There was a point where a black maga woman had some pause, and tapped in her white maga friends. And they got pizza and hashed it out. To be fair white dude’s friends were like “you ate a disgrace of a proud boy FOH,” but it was surreal to see him be like “I guess thems the brakes”

We need to bring back clubs. This is a deep idea I hold. I was on the jury of a doc fest last year, and one of the best things I saw just followed a bunch of folks to Jan 6. At ANY point, someone coulda been like: wanna drink beer and play horseshoes in the park? I promise they woulda been like “ok”

@aishaharris.bsky.social @lindaholmes.bsky.social @ghweldon.bsky.social @idislikestephen.bsky.social: just bounced from the Sixth Borough doc at tribeca. This is a shameless attempt to chop it up over this documentary. Let’s geaux

Also: I’m back, man.

Can anyone get some data on how many people use chatbots like grok as a bit vs use it to compensate for genuine inability to form their own initial opinion. Streets gotta know

Oop, I didn’t follow the chronology! A+ record
