seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

I talked with someone yesterday how a lot of prime Simpsons stuff is unknown to the younger generations so this is me indulging myself.

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

Although more seriously, with how foundational Simpsons references are to my way of speaking and how "The Youth" just do not get them and forcing me to find new crom- acceptable expressions is a thing.

I believe that’s when Raymond Chandler said two guys with guns should bust through the door. He didn’t know about laptops.

Craig and April start a romance, but Dr. Shark has returned to put a stop to it. The Baywatching on No Way Out is now public, please share!

My thumbnail for Baywatching: No Way Out. Craig and April smile at each other. Dr. Shark (a shark in a doctor's coat) sits sinisterly between them.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Lee would probably grit his teeth to recall Max also did that sadly viral video Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling. Also the terrible Bright.

I love when they go weird with werewolves. "Oh, yeah, on the night of the Pentecost I have to travel to Hell to fight the Devil."

We're kind of lacking in good werewolf movies over all but when we get a good one, it's a good 'un.

If I wrote an article about how Johnny Cash seemed uncool I would just look at what I wrote and then walk into jail or the sun, maybe both.

I think studios have killed the mid-level film because they don't return enough on the investment (as far as late-stage capitalism goes) and streaming services mean the movies that would have served that role aren't omnipresent like TBS running Iron Eagle roughly once a day.
