Protecting norms includes continuing to talk about silly stuff while being acutely aware that the world is on fire.

"You're making things shitty. Yeah you, this is personal" is one of the funnier things I've ever heard at a protest.

I love Gilmore Girls for many reasons, but one new reason that was just added is that it has more and better action sequences than Lanterns.

I'm at the optometrist right before closing, and I THINK IT'S SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY!
An eye doctor office showroom. Just past the glasses on the wall is a door left open. Gold balloons inside appear to spell out "Taco Bout A Party!"

You can't see all the letters. I like to think there's an exclamation point, and I think there's a good chance I'm right

I am not normally a fan of retroactive censorship, but I'm actually pretty excited that it appears that Dave Thomas's Asian characters have been scrubbed from SCTV on Netflix. They have always been extremely hard to watch. You do lose John Candy in a Godzilla suit, though. (I have the DVDs).

I supposedly live in a liberal bubble, and yet the only thing I know about this guy is that people in a conservative bubble are terrified of him. I've never heard him speak or read anything he wrote. Obviously I could look it up, but the point is he is clearly not as influential as they think.

Screenshot of a reddit post from the Wile E Coyote AMA thread promoting the recently-released film Coyote vs Acme. User dinkidoo7693 asks Wile E Coyote "Whats your go to karaoke song?" (sic) and the user WileECoyotaAMA replied with an image of the cartoon character holding up a sign on which is written "YYZ" which is an instrumental song by the band Rush. The joke is that the Coyote, who is not a voiced character and does not speak, only communicating by holding up small signs, sings karaoke of a song that has no lyrics.

I'm sure AI is being used to make perfectly competent, but boring videos, but I'm only interested in the ones where the system completely falls apart. Same reason I've never seen a Mission Impossible movie, but I proudly own a DVD of Dancing Ninja with David Hasselhoff.

Funny: Turning Point buying ad time to "check your voter status" after presumably spending millions trying to purge voter rolls. Funnier: Buying the ad time on the back to back Will & Grace channel.

Saw this pop up on YouTube and figured it was some AI generating every combination of song and artist. But it was posted 6 years ago and it's literally just the original Bleached recording in it's entirity except for a slightly abrupt fade out at the very end.
Screenshot of a YouTube video called "How would Lady Gaga and Blackpink sing Sour Candy by Bleached." There is a kind of 70s font that says the title and a picture of Lady Gaga surrounded by (presumably) Blackpink. Everything is green and orange, and the artwork is actually well done, but for some reason there's an unreadable metal band logo over the lower left and "5.29" in a big chunky font over the lower right. It has 9 likes since 2020 and 1000 views

"Generate a flyer for this week's meatloaf special, but make ALL the food disturbingly bumpy."
Obviously AI flyer for meatloaf, but everything has way too many bumps, including "creamy" mashed potatoes and some kind of weird biscuit/roll thing.Close up of weirdly bumpy mashed potatoes, some weird bread product, and about 17,653 mushrooms completely hiding a slice of meatloaf.

We've reached the point where a guy who is endorsed by Turning Point is running on an anti-data center platform. (whether it's genuine is unclear.)
A flyer for a conservative mayoral candidate touting "no data centers in our neighborhoods". It looks like a comic book.

Graham was the worst kind of MAGA because he didn't even believe it, it was just convenient. Before that, his image was "John McCain, but ineffectual." Is the window too wide for rule of threes?
