This headline from Salon cracks me up, like it was her fault. Rebecca Black, why would you do this?!?

Salon.com article:
Rebecca Black started the ragebait era
ALEX GALBRAITH
Fifteen years ago, the singer-songwriter showed the web loved nothing more than a pile-on

With all the constant updates Apple makes to iOS, is it too much to ask them to add a left-facing thumbs up emoji so I can easily make a Fonzie-style emote? See? See?!?

A smiling emoji with two thumbs up, like Fonzie. Heyyyyy!

I dunno, it doesn’t flow as well, just my two cents.

The scene from Dirty Dancing when Patrick Swayze says “Nobody puts Baby in the corner,” but the meme text reads “nobody puts illegal and collusive boycott in the corner.”

If Zelensky had bone spurs they’d be like Doomsday’s, from Superman.

The character Doomsday, from Superman. He’s very scary and has big sharp bone spikes sticking out all over.

Okay, I have no idea if it holds up, but I remember this airing when I was young and it felt like an extended feverdream…

Say what you will, but Art Garfunkel looks INCREDIBLE.

@gailsimone.bsky.social what just happened?!? How? Also what? Also why? Also… what?!?

A screenshot that proves Gail Simone just followed me on BlueSky. IT PROVES IT.

This panel from an issue of The Spectacular Spider-Man has literally been my life motto since I read it back in 1985…

A comic panel. A uniformed police officer says “Bad joke, Stan. Very bad joke.”

A plain clothes officer responds “Laugh so you don’t cry, Arnie.”

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see live

The band “Cold Slither” from the GI Joe cartoon. Cold Slither was actually made up of Cobra agents Zartan and the Dreadnocks… which itself is a pretty good band name, right?

Ok I can’t be the only one who hears “The Lonely Man” theme from the Incredible Hulk TV series when I look at this album cover. Right?

Album cover for Delbert McClinton’s album “The Jealous Kind.” because he’s dressed in jeans and a button up shirt against the background of a desolate countryside, it bears a striking resemblance to the image of Bill Bixby as David Banner hitchhiking in the Incredible Hulk TV show.

Except for this. This is objectively perfect.

Okay, this “r” word thing has me feeling a little edgy. I wanted to humanize the discussion a little, so here’s a picture from many years ago of myself and my sister, Janeen. Janeen didn’t have a single mean-spirited bone in her body.

No matter how you feel about the “universities are too woke” debate, we can all agree that one institute of higher learning has a perfect track record of nuanced political discourse.
