no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave

two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

The food vendor banners all had the same AI design template. The t-shirts all had the same AI-style calligraphy and font design The characters on the shirts all had the same goofy faux-Glen Keane face designs. It just never ended. It was the most depressing thing I've ever seen.

While it was legit inspiring to see all the amazing handcrafted art at the Carolina Classic Fair yesterday... We went to another local fair today and all that goodwill instantly evaporated. Every other vendor was selling AI-designed slop to old people who were gobbling it the fuck up.

Can’t get over this idea that Nightmare Before Christmas is just The King of Comedy with better music

Rupert Pupkin, a crazy guy who really really wants to be a comedian

Jack Skellington, a crazy skeleton man who really really wants to be Christmas

The actual comedian in The King of Comedy, held hostage by Rupert’s accomplice, Sandra Bernhardt

Aaanyway. Your local city/state fair is more than just junk food, pig races and rides held together with Elmer’s glue and thumbtacks. Your community is full of amateur artists, crafters and gardeners who love showing off their skills. Go support them!

If someone had told me in grade school that I could enter my collection of Star Wars CCG cards into the state fair, you bet I’d have tried that shit

You really never expect to see Vincent Price crocheted onto a pillow. Or the Skipper from Gilligan’s Island anywhere for that matter

I wanna share some of my favorite pieces from the arts/crafting competition. Some stuff you just don’t expect to see at a state fair. (Blacking out names for privacy’s sake cuz I’m p sure most of these were made by kids) Anyway, art thread! 🧵👇

Boy, Fox News watchers get *really* mad when you tell them you've never heard about the thing their channel's been screaming their heads off about for days on end.

I don’t regret seeing many movies in theaters, but this is certainly one of them.

Streaming TV became cable, but cable became Pluto. And they already give us Pluto for free.

Joseph Wade @cordialwombat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

We can talk about streaming forcing us all back to cable, but… Have you checked out cable TV lately? It’s a goddamn wasteland over there. Every other channel programs an all-day marathon of their top-rated show. And I’m only slightly exaggerating.

When I was maybe 3, my parents rented Little Shop of Horrors one night. I got out of bed and came to the living room because I heard music. And then I saw a giant plant with a big toothy grin eat a person. Messed me up for a good long while.

If a crucifix repels Dracula, and holy water burns him, then tricking him into reciting a bible verse should set him on fire.

On a brand new DRAWN OR ALIVE, two versions of Peter Chung's sci-fi parable/kinky sex comedy Aeon Flux have their respective existences pondered. www.drawnoralive.com/2026/10/show...

Show #12: Aeon Flux (1991) VS Aeon Flux (2005)

The aesthetics & sensibilities of animator Peter Chung are not for everybody, but at heart he's always been pushing the medium to fulfill it...

Ninja vs Shark is so bad even the title is wrong. The movie is about a samurai. The ninjas fight ON BEHALF OF THE SHARK. It only gets worse from there. Why am I doing this to myself?

So we're all in agreement, right? We're not calling them Skydance. We're calling them The Studio Formerly Known as Paramount and Warner Bros.

New Resident Evil is great cuz it does the one thing so much IP cinema is terrified of doing: It completely jettisons the decades of built-in lore and just operate purely on vibes. Star Wars Episode 10 should try being more like Resident Evil.

The new scenes they added to Avengers Endgame sound like if you took Dogs Playing Poker and drew a little Owen Wilson sitting in the background going “Wow, it’s dogs and they’re playing poker!”

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Basic? Maybe. Honest? Yes. This is essentially a list of my ten comfort TV shows. Can watch any of these on repeat anytime, and they make up a disgusting percentage of the references I make in casual conversation

The problem with a lot of the prestige TV shows on that NY Times list is that I have never felt compelled to rewatch any of them. Many I’ve started and never even finished. Meanwhile, I’ll rewatch my favorite comedies front to back ad infinitum
