I wish there was more national coverage about Bo French, who is running one the most openly racist campaigns in Texas that we've ever seen. Dude needs to get thrown out with next week's garbage

hard to put into words how badly I wanted to go to this halloween party
A colorful cartoon Halloween party scene from *Peanuts*, with children in costumes gathered in a pink-decorated room. The space is filled with jack-o’-lanterns, hanging bats, spiders, streamers, stars, and other spooky decorations. In the foreground, a large tub of water with floating apples is set up for apple bobbing, while the costumed children chat and celebrate nearby.

do we just not consume media the same way or do they not write movies to be quotable anymore because there was a time when "The price is wrong, bitch" fed us for MONTHS

Watching Happy Gilmore for the first time in forever and I'm losing it over Carl Weathers's plate of fruit
A scene at an outdoor golf event showing two men seated at a table beneath a canopy. One wears a light gray pullover, blue collared shirt, and flat cap while eating a plate of fruit; the other wears a black-and-gold sports jersey and listens across the table. A crowd of casually dressed spectators stands on the grass behind them in bright daylight.Close-up of a blue plastic plate piled with mixed fruit, including strawberries, melon, blueberries, and other chopped fruit, with a blue plastic fork resting on top. The plate sits on a table at an outdoor event, partially obscured by a wooden umbrella pole.

A perfect example of an air-tight comedic script, second only to maybe Galaxy Quest

tumblr still got it
Meme showing a black-and-white portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes labeled “Rutherford B. Shopping” and “19th President of the United States.” Below the image, a Tumblr user comments, “first women president.”

you know what, it just really might be impossible to feel cool as an adult when you barely crack 5 feet in height. Woman next to me on the subway, her hip bones started at my shoulder and all I could think was, I am hobbit, welcome to my cave

Yeah they can both be good versions for different reasons. I think the BBC version is faithful to Austen, whereas Wright's version is faithful to the human condition

today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

I know they say true change comes from the willingness to be bored and do the same thing every day but they need to create a version for people who have brains that requires near constant stimulation

Just passed four hours without realizing it because Shroom and Gloom is in early access and it's such a delight. I'm not typically a deck builder rogue-like kind of gal but this one got me. The artwork alone!! It's on PC and Apple for now but I bet we'll see it on consoles soon.
Illustrated fantasy forest bathed in eerie green light, with dense oversized leaves, vines, mushrooms, and strange plants surrounding a path covered in clusters of small skull-like shapes. The vegetation forms a tunnel leading toward a dark opening in the distance.Screenshot of a turn-based card-battling video game set in a dark, hand-drawn fungal forest. Five strange mushroom-like creatures face the player, with health and status indicators displayed above them. The player’s hand includes cards labeled “Close Friend,” “Stab,” and “Roast,” with combat stats and an “End Turn” button visible around the interface.

So a lot of us kids of boomers complain that our parents never got to know us. Which is real. But as a childless adult, I have very cool nieces and over the past few years I've been truly getting to know them and it has been so healing for everyone involved. 10/10 highly recommended 🥹

okay one delightful outcome of this? Seeing the joy on a friend or colleague's face when they learn I haven't heard about a video making the rounds on social media and they get the satisfaction of being the first to explain it to me. And frankly, I enjoy their reenactments more!!
