speaking of food that's only Kind Of good: I'm eating garlic-stuffed pickled olives right now and I keep going "damn these would be way better if they were stuffed with, like, feta or chevre instead"

the problem with hard boiled eggs is that they're only Kind Of good which means I never want one enough to actually make them. maybe if I got back into meal prepping but, like, Whatever.

(watching venom in 2018) the actor playing the main villain of this will never give the best performance in a movie with tom cruise and john goodman.

Having now watched Digger, I have to say: it is categorically impossible for this to happen given the plot of the movie, but also, I really really want it to happen. Digger Goes To Mars.

what if they announced the next final destination movie had a massage chair death in it, and you were so hyped to see what crazy shit they did with that, and then in the movie a guy sits down in one and is immediately electrocuted

The media always talks about "class war" or "race war" as if they're not already happening. This is an example of both. Making someone pay for their imprisonment is grinding the heel in the back of their neck, just to make sure they know their place.

there's a lot of reasons that I tend not to be prone to nostalgia, but a big one is "any time I find myself romanticizing the past I immediately go 'now was that objectively how My Twenties were, or is it a faint, distorted memory of Like One Kind Of Fun Party'"

a thing about carrie, the novel, is that carrie *is* weird and judgmental and unpleasant to deal with. characters have to suppress their irritation with her, and this is important because it's easy to reach out to someone who conforms to social norms. it's harder to do that to a girl who doesn't.

if you want to modernize carrie white then she is not a pretty, misunderstood quiet girl. what she is is a "lolcow", a girl who does not fit in and is seen as a bit grotesque and is systematically provoked until she breaks, with a goal of milking her for content.

i don't know what happens in the movie digger but i assume that he's sort of an ernest or madea style character and we'll get to see the series continue with titles like "digger saves halloween" or "digger down under" or whatever

Reactionary centrists treat “Abolish ICE“ as a metaphysical question of whether immigration enforcement is ever justified. But it is really a practical question—how can you allow a fifth column paramilitary that wants to overthrow democracy to continue to exist in your government?

this obviously isn't going to happen but if any neoliberal nation wants to go back to having an even moderately stable center-right capitalist society then they need to, at the bare minimum, start throwing every single tech ceo who doesn't understand who calls the shots in jail no questions asked

I think part of the reason there aren’t a lot of good movies about contemporary American political life is you sound like an idiot if you talk about any of the things happening in American politics outloud. If I heard the word Groyper in a movie I would try to cut my own head off.

In case you thought "dude is the jerkoff hand gesture incarnate" wasn't a good enough reason to not buy the dude's games, get a load of this:
Blow is active on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and streaming service Twitch. His online activity includes both commentary about game development and expressing personal political opinions, including anti-vaccine rhetoric, support for the presidency of Donald Trump, and criticism of diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which has drawn criticism from other game developers.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

the real resentment for me is that you can say "we should get rid of billionaires" to an audience of millions & that counts for less than saying "we should make billionaires kings" to an audience of 3 billionaires
