Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die is one of the most audacious movies I've seen in a while. At one point I leaned over to the person with me and whispered "this is a NIGHTMARE" while laughing.

As a former event runner, some venues (at least in the US) insist on it once your event has reached a certain size.

a tweet from the killers sent november 24th, 2020 that reads: OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. WE WON THE GRAMMYS, GOT LOADS OF LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. DOZENS OF BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM! #RIGGEDGRAMMYS #WEWON

never forget the killers' funniest tweet

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

In Leavenworthworth with my family, I ordered an elephant ear! It was a little over $10 but I didn't bat an eye, everything in Leavenworth was a little overpriced.

I may never eat another elephant ear again. It was the size of my TORSO. MY TORSO IS NOT SMALL.

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

The Penguin was pretty cool! Though it was pretty weird when Collin Ferrell looked directly at the camera and went "Please, please give me an Emmy. Please."

Fairytale of Old Portland [Editor's note: Read all our holly jolly HOLIDAY GUIDE articles here. Looking for a print copy? Good! You can find it in more than 500 spots across Portland with this handy map!] It was December 25, 2...

I wrote about spending Christmas Eve in a long lost gay bar and the dirtbag Disneyland we like to pretend Old Portland was. @dylanmeconis.bsky.social was kind enough to provide an illustration and the @portlandmercury.bsky.social was kind enough to publish it www.portlandmercury.com/holiday-guid...

That was a wonderful, sad read. As a longtime Portlander, I definitely felt my heartstrings tug at the names of all the places that aren't around anymore.
I remember being in a no-name bar on Christmas with a bunch of hard-lived men thanking them through tears for being open. I think it's gone now.

A screenshot of the final battle of Final Fantasy 7 with shirtless Sephiroth but instead of Cloud it's Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong 64 holding his coconut gun and his limit break is named Banana Slamma.

Good morning.
