superheroes try too hard to be cool these days when nobody can ever beat "his name is spider man and he dresses like a spider because he has the powers of a spider"

when you hit the age where it becomes the norm that grown adults are often younger than you a new life begins. not in a scary way btw

big shoutout to the gas station near my house which is running a deal on energy drinks and thought the best way to express this on their large LED sign was to make it read BANG MONSTER 2/$5

nyadversary

update: you'll be pleased to know that they rethought their sign and have changed it to read MONSTER BANG 2/$5

Flags Mashup Bot is really out here trying to start World War III

pancoleon

My fav part is that it is genuinely just a bot. All it does is take two countries, puts the 2nd country's colours on the 1st country's flag and mixes their names together.

Literally the only other thing behind it is that the bot weights picking the second country based on how close they are to the first, and basic geography + history means that's also where you're going to get the most aggressive relations. This isn't some guy trolling by making things specifically to piss people off, it's some guy who likes flags going "wouldn't it be fun to mix flags together, let's write a bot for that" and accidentally creating a whole meme culture of "days since flag mashup bot last tried to start WW3 = 0" and the like.

Horny people legally cannot consent. Horniness is a clouded state like inebriation. If you are partway through sex and you realize you might've become horny, it is illegal to continue. If you have ever made someone horny, you are a bad person.

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

mankillercalledbunny

Not to bring the serious to a very fun post, but this reaction is exactly what Mamdani is working for with his image, because in a very real way the most effective way for him to be The Mayor is if he looks like The Mayor.

This is a man who is VIOLENTLY aware that when it comes to conservatives, he is a Muslim first, a Brown Man second, an Immigrant third, a Socialist fourth, and a human a very distant fifth, if considered at all. He was also a young adult during the Obama Years and will have seen Republicans rip Obama to shreds for wearing a tan suit instead of a dark one and use literally ANY excuse they could to try and degrade his image.

Despite the fact that a mayor who wears a T-shirt and jeans might "seem more approachable" in the eyes of the average American, Zohran Mamdani knows that someone with his profile fundamentally cannot get away with that the way his White colleagues can. He has instead put in the effort to look professional and BE approachable, because not only does it make it easier for him to reach and represent his constituents, it forces everyone, including both his opponents and establishment Democrats, to engage with the work he is doing instead of judging his image. The fact that he is always seen in a suit and is recognisably The Mayor is, while also something he has fun with, a deliberate choice to ensure he is as inarguably A Professional Politician To Be Taken Seriously. The added humour of e.g. the hi-vis is a bonus, only achievable because he works so hard to Look Like The Mayor.

Adding these tags from @haunted-stranger-garden bc they illustrate this brilliantly

[id: Two consecutive screenshots of one person's tags, edited for readability:

"As someone from new york, it's working, and I do mean in the sense that there are people who I know for a fucking fact would not have liked him otherwise, who are like 'huh maybe he's not so bad', like there are people in my life that I have seen do a full heel turn because he isn't just a mayor, he acts like The Mayor fucking Schmigadoon-style. Mayor is his archetype. his cartoonish bit. his trope. and he NEEDS to do that because otherwise those same people are going to pivot HARD in the other direction, he works so hard to be The Mayor, it is essential to his appeal as a politician trying to win over people who would (and frankly still do) kinda hate him, just enough to get their vote, he is The Mayor of All Mayors. The Mayorest of all time, he constantly quotes other NYC mayors not just to show that he is a New Yorker who loves new york, but to validate his own decisions by calling up old dead white guys that old white New Yorkers like, it's fascinating, I love watching him act and dissecting his campaign from a neutral pov, but it's so hard not to get wrapped up in the mythos, to quote someone else in the notes—'he's a politician even if he has dimples'"
