Okay, I am going to make your week a lot better with a recommendation today. I don't care if you are a Marvel fan, a Muppet fan, or both, or neither. This morning I bought MUPPETS TAKE THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1 on digital because I couldn't wait for a physical copy. People. BUY THIS BOOK.

I have to assume PTA’s point was any of those films from 1975 were best picture and that was true again this year, but part of me feels like he just really wanted to mention Nashville.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate
My tweet from 2023:

I asked if it was offensive to eat a Pop-Tart in front of the @PopTartsBowl mascot and then its handler yelled out "ITS THEIR DREAM" and then the mascot grabbed a Pop-Tart out of my hand and started force-feeding it to me while making soft grunting noises.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

This way to sacrifice your baby to the toilet gods
A restroom sign showing the normal style people icons except the icon in the skirt has an arm up and one leg bent, suggesting motion and possibly concern. The other icon is walking forward in big wide steps, back perfectly straight, and arms stretched out in front of him as far as they can go, with a baby in his hands, arms waving in the air. Next them is an arrow pointing up and to the right, and beneath them is the word "Restrooms"

coates is genuinely a generational writer
What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most
telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.
