Our Flag Means Death. Good Omens. Game of Thrones (although I'll never forgive what happened in the final season). The Great. Black Mirror. Pretty much any of the big Netflix original shows (you know, Stranger Things, the Witcher, etc., etc.) Buzzfeed Unsolved. Supernatural. Doctor Who. Sherlock. And I am just going to fire off these comedies super fast, you ready? Bob's Burgers. Futurama. The I.T. Crowd. Black Books. Arrested Development. Community. Archer. The Simpsons. The Office. Parks and Rec. Brooklyn 99. The Good Place. New Girl. It's Always Sunny. Pysch. Schitt's Creek. Derry Girls. What We Do in the Shadows. I could truly go on forever with this. I adore sitcoms, so talk to me about them! Animation. Humor. Video games. Comic books. Social issues. Memes, movies, and books. And awesome actors and actresses. Feel free to message me about anything! I am a nerd with the heart of a geek.
yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
The rise of AI slop & the endless waves of books that feel written to spec by people who are terrified of their own audiences has given me a new appreciation for Anne Rice. It's not even that she didn't give a fuck; she cared passionately and was famously, publicly hurt by the reception of at least one of her novels, but she never let that distract her from her mission of writing whatever the fuck she wanted. No one could write Anne Rice's books except Anne Rice. They are singularly, entirely hers and while I won't pretend she was a perfect person or it's wrong for readers to be offended or uninterested in spending their one and only life on earth reading something that offends them, I also think her work is valuable and humane and also often hilarious and it's not a crime to have a muse you adore.
sometimes my wife will come to me with a piece of food and explain it like its a james bond mission. like
"there is a piece of gouda on the counter downstairs. it has been left out overnight. i cannot bring myself to trust it and thus will be throwing it away in 20-30 minutes. but if something were to happen and the cheese were to go missing, i would not question it."
and then she will go. and then the cheese will go missing. and she will not question it.
Nothing has done quite so much damage to my internal vocabulary as the construction #MyNoun. I don't remember if it was from that "tour of my jar, this is my twig #MyTwig" or if it was from "inappropriate attachment to objects, my tuube #MyTuube" but either way it was one of you fuckers on here. I do it every time there's my noun #MyNoun
I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:
Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.
Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"
Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."
They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.
favorite thing about tumblr is having a fandom in law. no i haven't watched this show and i'm not planning to. but my moot is having fun!! look how much they love it!!! i'm supportive from the sidelines!
[ID: A Tweet and self-reply by Twitter user Akira.
The original Tweet says "At a certain magnitude of cunt severity, getting misgendered by your family stops hurting and starts being funny. I have D cups, Grandpa. The waitress thinks you have dementia."
One of the lesser known early symptoms of dementia is that people start being more disagreeable.
Part of this is probably the natural result of being increasingly confused and upset day to day constantly. Another possible thing is that the same mechanism that causes dementia is also attacking the part of the brain that does emotional regulation.
And the thing is this is super early stage. By the time they stop remembering when's the last time you met, it's already way too late. But if an older person in your life starts acting way more like a cunt for literally no reason, and it's not particularly in character for them, it really might be worth testing for dementia or Alzheimer's because you have a lot more options catching it earlier.
