A few years ago, my dad told me that when he was a little kid, my grandma told him “if you get scared while watching a movie or tv, laugh. You’ll feel better.”

Me watching news in 2024:

a cartoon character is standing on top of a pile of rocks with the words " maniacal laughter " written below him

My personal policy of “don’t build fandoms around political candidates” stays winning.

Fuck man, don’t build fandoms around *anyone* if you can help it.

Grimes didn’t play well individually but going to three guards (with smaller bigs) completely changed the game.

Sixers can play bigger once PG is back but three guards is their best look for now. And maybe for good.

It’s really interesting! I first watched it on Netflix many years ago, but I don’t think it’s on there anymore. Maybe on Prime? Anyway, if you can find it, it’s certainly one to watch.

When I was a kid I just assumed I was being attacked by demons bc of how I was raised, but as an adult learned that the most likely explanation is a disturbance in REM sleep. It’s really fascinating!

The Nightmare. It’s about sleep paralysis, which I’ve had frequently my whole life since early childhood. It explores very different people’s understanding of what it is from “brain being mean” to “omg demons!”

The cover of Garbage’s self-titled debut album. It’s a bunch of pink feathers with a large capital G in the center. The upper right corner says garbage in lower case letters.

portland folks will be amused and no doubt extremely surprised to learn the local police are antifa

“they have no reason to hide” is a wild thing to say in reply to me showing a far right influencer filming into the windows of an apartment, in a town where militia dudes will come to your house and threaten you after a far right influencer posts about you, but ok

In portland the mayor, the whole city council, the local media and local police side with Antifa. They are mainstream in Portland and local police defend them when they block the public street. They have not reason to hide.

Ursula Le Guin's 1999 letter to Michael Powell, the owner of Powell's Books in Portland. Powell's workers unionized in 2000 and have faced some union-busting measures since, but were the first contract in ILWU Local 5.

Ursula Le Guin letter to the owner of Powell's Books in 1999 where she says it would be an honor to know that it's a union shop.

Whoever is running the WKUK YouTube channel re-uploaded their old "race war" sketch to mock ICE.

Screenshot of a Whitest Kids U' Know sketch that shows Trevor Moore (RIP) pointing near a chain link fence. Next to him is the symbol for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The title of the video says "Join ICE."

Why do people even bother with car alarms anymore. No one takes them seriously. It’s 2:42 am, I was finally about to go to sleep. Some asshole’s car alarm went off.

A green guy (maga hat) and a blue guy (dem hat) stand before a button. The green guy says "pushing this button will begin the investigation into Epstein and trump" and then gets all sanctimonious and continues "but! Bill Clinton must also be investigated--" and then two panels of the democrat slamming the button again and again to the point where maga dude is begging him to stop
