There is an oldest cricket in the world right now. One whose skeleton has suffered the knicks and scars of endless months. One whose legs are rubbed smooth from countless moons of song. Every cricket that once hopped over earth when it was born has now returned to the dirt, and it doesn't even know.

"And then, the funniest thing happened." I've always felt like Inside was going to be one of the seminal works of art of the '20s, and every time I go back to it, I find something new that I want to latch on to. This time, it's "All Eyes on Me." If you haven't seen it in a while, go rewatch it.

Thumbnail of Bo Burnham's "All Eyes on Me" Youtube video. Close-up on Bo's face (thirty-year-old Caucasian male) tinted by blue light. His mouth is angled toward the lower-left corner of the image, but it is covered by his out-of-focus hand. His eyes are focused on the viewer.

Just saw the results of the Crunchyroll Awards from ages ago, and you know, I'm starting to think that this whole "end of democracy" thing might not be such a bad idea.

Does our chinchilla mean to run on her wheel, or is she just walkin' around when she happens to step on a bit of ground that moves underneath her, making her go "OH FUCK" and run so that she doesn't slam her face into the aluminum?

I'm not a marketing guy, but I really don't get this "it's great to be wrong about Tinder" ad campaign. Who are you talking to? You're either advertising to people who have a bad opinion of your service, or you're telling people who have a good opinion of your service that they're wrong.

And what the HELL is up with this funky punctuation mark that I think is supposed to signify someone calling from off-screen? Whoever subbed this needs to be committed, and then called "a genius who wasn't understood in their day" after all of us are dead.

I just watched an anime where a character screamed wordlessly and it was translated as "Crikey!" That's the kind of boldness translators need.

Hey! Need someone's help. Does the manga for "Anyway, I'm Falling in Love With You" ever use the word "covid?" The anime really goes out of its way to say "that nasty disease" and such, and I'm curious if that's a carry-over from the manga or if it's studio meddling.

Just saw this on the side of the website while I was paying for some blood work I had done. Thought you all would appreciate it. (And no, those aren't hyperlinks. Just headings.)

Text on a pink background with blue headings reading "What is a guarantor?" "What if I can't pay all at once?" "What if I can't pay at all?" and "How else can I receive my billing information?" Each heading has an associated bit of text helping the patient pay for their medical services, except for "What if I can't pay at all?", which is blank.

So, this one time, I had a dream. I was sitting down at the dining room table with my grandma. There was a big window, and afternoon light was pouring in. You could see motes of dust in the air, and everything felt fresh and warm. Crayon marks stained the white tablecloth from when I was a kid.

conservatives don't actually care about states' rights or the national debt, and they know they don't care about it. pointing out the hypocrisy is pointless. stop playing their game and recognize that conservatives win by wanting things and leveraging power to get them. we need to do the same

One of my favorite parts of explaining Draw Steel to people is seeing them share the awesome names of their heroic resources. "Mine's Discipline! Mine's Drama! Mine's Wrath!" Then, as the Director, getting to smugly smile and say, "Mine's Malice" and watch them all go quiet for a second.

As a kid, I didn't know how to make new folders on my computer, so I'd root around in the system files and delete stuff in the ones that didn't look important so I could put my Neopets screenshots in them. Then, I'd get sad and confused when my computer didn't work. That's the government right now.

Listening to "1985" by Bowling for Soup and reminiscing about a time when reminiscing about pop culture from twenty years ago was something silly bands wrote silly songs about instead of being the thing that you're currently doing by listening to "1985" by Bowling for Soup.

Any time a skeptic responds to ghost stories its like, "Yeah, the skeptic provided thorough, reasonable explanations for everything that we were attributing to the paranormal, but weren't they kind of a dick about it?"
