The new Toxic Avenger rips so hard. We need more gory movies with Looney Tunes humor in the world.

I love purity testing Gavin Newsom and tanking his presidential campaign three years before it begins, with my posts. Do these guys know how stupid they sound

At a baby shower, heard somebodyโ€™s teenaged kid refer to Old Greg as โ€œbrain rot for old people.โ€ Feeling some kind of way about that.

I get him, I get you. I think the simple rewording of โ€œwhen it tipped in the favor of the vanilla perverts instead of the real pervertsโ€ fixes everything.

The pro: When I was young I dreamt of being a writer, but I feared I wasnโ€™t smart or interesting enough to do it, so I pursued other fields.
The con: Whoops, we all live in a Hieronymus Bosch painting now! Haha! Itโ€™s all bad!

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

I like that in Final Fantasy VII, one of the members of Shinraโ€™s board knows that what they are doing to the planet is horrible, and so he goes, โ€œI am going to stop the senseless bloodshed, no matter what it takes. I am going to make robot cat, and make it ride a fucked up little guy like a horse.โ€

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Everyone is qualified to weigh in on everything. Disagree with a kid's prescribed medical treatment? You're qualified. Blow that whistle! A person you don't know died? Get those accusations out there!

Very smart political knowers: they're just trying to distract us from other things.

Script outline. The text reads:

INT. TRUCK STOP RESTROOM - DAY
Austin stares into the mirror, he runs his hand slowly over his face and then checks his yellow teeth. He steps outside. โ€œWhite Noizโ€ plays in the background on a moog synthesizer.
EXT. FOGGY PARKING LOT OVERLOOKING CANYON
VANESSA (V.O.)
In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again someday, But you never did. Well I'm alone there now... In our 'special place'... Waiting for you...  
AUSTIN
I got a letter. The name on the envelope said 'Vanessa.' My wife's name... It's ridiculous, couldn't possibly be true... That's what I keep telling myself... A dead person can't write a letter, itโ€™s just not cricket. Vanessa was replaced with a fembot three years ago. So then why am I looking for her? Our โ€œshagadelic placeโ€... What could she mean? This whole town was our shagadelic place. Does she mean the park on the lake? We spent the whole day there. Just the two of us, Burt Bacharach, and a Swedish made penis enlargement pump that didnโ€™t belong to me, staring out at the randy water . Could Vanessa really be there? Is she really alive... waiting for me?

Listen. I have an idea.

A picture of myself, my partner, and my son. Both my partner and my sonโ€™s faces have been replaced with The Prodigy making insane faces at camera.

Iโ€™m home from the hospital, a proud new father. I wanted to share the joy with the world, however I did not want to dox my partner or my newborn son in the process, so to be careful and protect their safety I have added The Prodigy from the 1996 Firestarter music video to our first family picture.

if the musk-trump coalition continues to fray i suspect we will see a lot of "i was at DOGE" tell-alls and i think a useful heuristic for understanding them will be "anything that makes elon look like a freak is true" coupled with "anything that makes DOGE employees look like lesser freaks is a lie"

If your response to this is โ€œred states got what they voted for,โ€ your indifference to human suffering makes me sick.

My kidโ€™s gonna be born tomorrow. Youth is strange and fleeting. Felt the itch to make up some screamo riffs. Sort of a goodbye to the times when I could drive three hours out to play a show to thirty or so people and scream and be messy and be loud. Gonna miss it. Time for the next chapter.

A tweet from Tay Zonday that reads:

Being poor now just leads to being more poor later. Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out? Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest.

Itโ€™s played for jokes but to this end I always had a weird appreciation of the episode of Futurama where the professor joins a gang and one of the members is a lady who constantly mentions that her backstory is that her step-father was emotionally abusive.
