Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, AND Peter Cullen one right after the other has me concerned for Friday. What other childhood staple could be taken next? … DON’T NAME SOMEONE! You’ll jinx them.

A side by side drawing of convicted human trafficker and all around loser Andrew Tate and Peg Bundy from Married with Children.
Who wore it better?
Both are wearing an open front purple shirt, gold chains hanging in their cleavage, black leather pants and loafers.
Tate is standing with his hands behind his back as he’s being arrested and trying to look intimidating but failing miserably.
Peg looks like she’s enjoying rocking the look.

Tell Trump to Keep His Hands Off The Post Office
The U.S. Postal Service is again under attack by Donald Trump and the world's biggest business con, Elon Musk. Trump’s plans to overhaul the post office and privatize it would be disastrous for people...

In order to deal with all of this lately (gestures at the state of the US and Minnesota specifically) I decided to give the Kamen Rider franchise a shot. I am now mad that I waited until I was 35 to watch Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider W is my jam.

I have one complaint about James Gunn's Superman. ... Now I know what Mr. Terrific's powers are. ... What? He's been a minor character in several shows I've seen but somehow I went like 20 years knowing nothing more specific about him than he's got a T on his face. End of an era.

A rule I'd love to enforce is, if you fund a book to screen adaptation, and one of your marketing strategies is to slap that ugly ass "Now a TV/Movie on (Blank)" You have to finish the adaptation. Cuz this dropping it part way through thing is BULLSHIT.

Listening to the Jekyll and Hyde novel and find myself asking: what is more interesting, Jekyll’s never elaborate on evil impulses being big or small. Like, is it better that the vices that ultimately destroy him are like, sex, drugs and rock or like, he shouts curse words in churches.

I keep seeing people putting the Lies of Locke Lamora into the Grimdark category and I am baffled. Is there a lot of misery in that book? Yes. But I'd say there's just a little too much hope and joy to actually fit in that category.

Truth Social Post from Donald J Trump.

A side by side face comparison between current Donald Trump on the right and prime Elvis Presley on the left. Really draws attention to the thickness of Elvis' hair, the strength in his jaw line and vibrant eye compared to Trumps incredibly thinning hair, jowls, and slightly blood shot eye.

I am not good at it, but smashing and slashing monsters with my big F*** off sword is so cathartic.
Screenshot from Bloodborne.

He’s standing in the Cathedral Ward, behind him are several massive pots and gothic statues reaching toward the heavens.

Denmark bakeries are selling trump "Moron cakes". Our respect on the world stage certainly has grown. 

7. A Danish baker responded to Trump's desire to buy Greenland by making these Donald Trump Moron Cakes. (What was that about being respected in the world like never before?): 

Image of 25 moron cakes, what look to be orange donut holes with a slit in the cake to form a mouth, two beady eyes and icing on the top to mimic Trump's awful fake hair. In the display is a sign that reads "Donald Trump, KVAJE KAGE 25,-"

The Rabbit Hole: Wikipedia is an extension of legacy media. 
Includes a quote from a wiki page reading "In his speech during the second Trump inauguration, Musk twice extended his right arm towards the crowd in an upward angle. The gesture was compared to a Nazi salute or fascist salute. Musk denied any meaning behind the gesture.
Musk retweets: Since legacy media propaganda is considered a 'valid' source by Wikipedia, it naturally simply becomes an extension of legacy media propaganda!
