Behemoth & Leviathan, LP 🎃

"People might think you're some nerdy dad!"

Good, then they got the right idea and I can just be myself

I always wonder about what these overly-performative masculinity guys are like when nobody is watching. Because it seems exhausting to have to tailor your whole life nor around what you like or want to do, but what you think other people constantly monitoring you for dude-ness are looking for

There's a scene in "All The Way" based on this. And it's amazing

"Based Latin mass"

Hold on, need to find my eyes, they just rolled out of my skull

"More Republicans voted for the CRA than Democrats" is one of those things that sounds clever until you realize all the Dem votes against it were southern right-wingers who were only Democrats because they were still mad about Abe Lincoln 100 years later

Ghost of Iain Banks: "You see, I have made the evil character very rich and socially immature. This may remind you of someone"

Elon: "Hur hur, the ship names are funny"

Heartbreaking:

Obligatory mention that MLK himself told Nichelle Nichols to stay on the show after the first season because of what a positive role model he felt she was

Like there are several episodes of TNG where the characters express distaste at the idea of meat that came from a living creature rather than a matter replicator and the entire idea of gender roles

It's funny how sweaty Republicans sometimes are to claim Star Trek, a seires that's very famously big on war being bad, diversity being good, capitalism being obsolete due to post-scarcity tech, and environmentalism being encouraged.

As proof that the binary choice in politics really doesn't bother me, when presented with this choice I unhestitatingly and with no discomfort thought "Go Birds"

It really does appear that the fondest wish of some men is to perpetually hang out at the No Girls Allowed Club, bragging about how hard they would scream and throw up if they were ever given a pink shirt as a gift

"I don't know what a salad fork looks like"

These guys all come off sounding like they're worried their dicks will fall off if they ever stop doing loudly performative masculinity every hour

He didn't want an endorsement, he wanted to be mad about a non-endorsement

Also before you say "nobody cares about X" you should probably make sure that's actually true

It's wild how many people in the age of algo scrolly apps think there's such a thing as a stunt that "can't be ignored"

It's been mostly memory-holed outside of election history nerds, but in 1980 both Reagan and Carter had negative approval on election day

While these elites are pooping their pants in terror of the 39% approval Fox News grandpa, average citizens are walking right up to ICE guys in frog suits. People will remember who found the courage when it counted and who didn't

One of the weirdest aspects of Trump 2 is that the elites are more scared of him than before, and the general public is less scared than before

"Trump will stop being a reactionary conservative asshole any year now!"

Pacino maybe

I love transgressive art as much as the next 90s rivethead but like, cmon

How do none of these guys realize they're Marilyn Manson depicting Jesus as JFK nailed to a cross made of Mannlicher-Carcanos while burning a Bible onstage and saying "how does THAT grab you! Are you not offended??"

I mean I admit that maybe I'm just very low-FOMO (in the last year I've seen 2 movies in theaters and the last video game I bought less than 6 months from release was Elden Ring), but heed the voice saying "not worth it." It's probably right

Seriously like...is it FOMO? Is that what's going on here? Can nobody truly just pass on the next piece of popular culture no matter what it costs?

If the Switch 2 isn't worth $450 dollars to you, then just...don't get one. If you don't wanna pay for HBO then just don't

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Opinion: This 'Cozy Farming Village' Might Just Be a Swingers' Retreat When I first came to Wavecrest Island, it seemed too good to be true. I needed a break, but I really needed an adventure, and…

Opinion: This 'Cozy Farming Village' Might Just Be a Swingers' Retreat

Remember when the official Republican position was "abstinence only, stamp out all teen sex everywhere?"

It was literally the last Republican president before this one

"The gun is good, the penis is evil"

Called it on 'everything is gender now' also

It should be obvious but once again:
