“In decades”? He never has. He’s been rich all his life, and famous since the mid-80’s simply for being so.

“So Mr. In The Shadows, I just wanna start off by saying: Death Grips. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, TPAB. Death Grips, TPAB, and… Death Grips.

So in summation: King Lizard Gizzard Wizard Blizzard, TPAB, Death Grips… and of course, TPAB. Your thoughts?”

And "Jaws" was rated PG.

As was "Poltergeist".

Once you understand that every male GOP staffer under the age of 30 was raised on 4Chan and Reddit, a lot of things start to make sense.

"Distinct" is hardly a word I'd use for that guy or song; it's such a boring, generic song I never notice it when it's on... until that line "AND THEY COME UNSTUCK!!" Then I'm like, "wha? What came unstuck...?"

Jimmy Kimmel should've said mentally ill homeless people should be given lethal injections - nothing at all would've happened to him then.

I think who people really want to run is the woman who writes his social media posts, not him.

Act of Contrition
YouTube video by Madonna - Topic Act of Contrition

The weirdest Madonna track, and maybe the weirdest thing you'll hear all day. She's reciting the Act of Contrition over backwards gospel choirs and shredding rock guitar, then starts screaming about being denied a restaurant reservation.

On a related note: I really, irrationally hate the modern "ironic" hipster-y aesthetic send-up of the 1970's. I can't explain why, but it's annoying as fuck to me.

Hulk Hogan: Real American. Train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins. The embodiment of virtue and goodness.

Ozzy Osborne: the Prince of Darkness. The embodiment of evil and malevolence.

...right?

I've gone from just assuming Trump's name is all over the Epstein files to thinking he's the ONLY fucking name in the Epstein files.

Everybody from Duran Duran to Motley Crue to Donny Osmond to T-Pain to Pearl Jam to Pat Boone is warmly eulogizing Ozzy. He must've done something right.

Ozzy Osbourne dies just weeks after farewell show The heavy metal star reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on stage at Villa Park earlier in July.

Wow. The Prince of Darkness has returned to the shadow realm.

R.I.P. to Ozzy Osbourne. The ultimate symbol of rock and roll excess and mythology for decades running, turned beloved doddering old dad on a reality show. Bats everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.

Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour That's a long time in the microwave.

So…about AI’s energy use…

“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

My parents took me to a Kenny Rogers concert way back when I was a rugrat, and if I gave you a million guesses, you'd never guess who opened for him.

Gallagher.

Yep. Smashing watermelons and everything.
