You know what would be impressive? Resolving a conflict without needing to fire a bullet. Instead, Pete and Trump continue to scream like petulant children and up the destruction and waste.

I’d at least wager in the lead up to the Oscars there was at least some discussion about Conan acting offended that Coogler didn’t want him in Sinners to play one of the Irish vampires. Also definitely some discussion of Conan at some point dressed as a KPop Demon Hunter.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Every politician is getting ready for the Oscars by, rather than growing a spine and addressing the fractured state of the world, drafting a *real spicy tweet* telling actors to not talk about the fractured state of the world.

a good thing is when someone posts a picture of a cat, and then people reply with "great cat, here also is a picture of my cat." unsolicited cat pics aplenty. this could be the world we build

When it comes to Pokemon Chinese zodiac starter theory, if it’s your favorite, any one of them can be GOAT.

Disgusting way to talk about your fellow humans. Silicon Valley needs to be quarantined for an indefinite period of time until the nazi mad scientist fever is cured.

I do have loose thoughts, but I doubt a video will ever come from it. I’m most focused on my own original works at the moment.

Pam Bondi: "If we prosecute everybody in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse!"

It’s beyond disheartening to know an unreasonably high number of voters are fine with this level of heinous corruption to “own the libs.”

The amount of BS deflection Pam Bondi is committing (oh, and definitely perjury) is wild. And to be clear, her “Donald Trump has done so many good things” doesn’t excuse if he’s a pedophile. It doesn’t excuse anyone from that regardless of their politics. It is a moral failing to the highest degree.

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.
