A. A bevy
B. A romp
C. Adorable
D. All of the above

They really stuck the landing on this one.

I'm unreasonably proud of the artwork choice on this post.

I think it was this week that David Harbour was implicated in an on-set bullying thing. But this People article makes it sound like it’s either not true or getting swept under the rug?

Not a great week for Marvel “heroes.”

Imagine a world in which being rich doesn’t grant you immediate access to people making policy.

I just learned about this statue, and it rules.

Did women ruin the workplace?

My hot take is, despite being glorified toy commercials, the first Joe animated series is pretty awesome.

Ha! I forget sometimes that everyone isn’t old like me.

Deleted a Russell/Carpenter thing because yeah, it’s probably A.I. bullshit. Sorry, sometimes I forget that everything is pointlessly stupid now.

In my head canon, G.I. Joe and TMNT are both “cartoons that would randomly show up on the UHF channel afternoons after school.” School being the mid-late 80s in my case.

I remember both those debuts. It just seems like the Simpsons have been around *forever* but that’s obviously not literally true.

I recall the G.I. Joe cartoon debuting sometime in that same era.

One of my favorite albums of all time.

And her band is incredible.

It’s really hard for me to pick 20 “best” Mann songs. But any random list of 20 of her songs is likely full of bangers. She just doesn’t miss.

*Immaculate* (2024)

what’s the best movie ending of the decade so far?

Going to start a punk band named Subchucker
