I think this is the most cursed social media post I have ever seen.

Tweet from Dinesh D'Souza: "I asked Bibi Netanyahu—the Jewish head of a Jewish state—to comment on the most famous Jew of all time, Jesus Christ."

every time a new release with Jared Leto bombs that one scene in Fight Club where Ed Norton beats him senseless gets even more hilarious

im imagining you recreating -that one scene- in the movie by showing the movie to other people.

I continue to be neutral about such prospects despite any so-called “evidence“ to the contrary

as we go into the bottom of the 9th, I just wanna remind the universe that I’m not a mariners fan. I didnt grow up here. I don’t even like baseball that much.

persephone by sidney gish @greekgothgf.bsky.social · 11d

i know god's listening right now so i just wanna say that im NOT, i repeat NOT, a fan of the seattle mariners baseball club.

that scrappy gang of lads plying their trade in the most sacred of geometries for the delight of folks in the seattle-tacoma metro area and the whole world? no joy for me.

Nicole Kidman can’t stop, won’t stop making new projects: She’s had eight come out in the past two years, with six more on the way. ‘Why stop? You’ll have to tie me down, tie me up!’

Joanna is kinda like a John and for the sake of uniformity then we must also let Mitskis be Johns.

for the record they filed for divorce like 6 months after the album dropped so it wasn't like Ben Gibbard didn't ALSO come to that conclusion.

persephone by sidney gish @greekgothgf.bsky.social · 3d

this is part of the process. i was a bit unhinged when after Death Cab released Codes and Keys. I sincerely thought "ok sorry Ben Gibbard but you're not allowed to be happy if this is the result. you're going to have to divorce Zooey Deschanel." i think social media makes this instinct worse.

Marcy @deadheadgirly.bsky.social · 3d

This is a mean and unhinged way to deal with your favorite putting out an album that people aren't fawning over. It perfectly fine for things to just be OK. Takes nothing away from her or you. There's really no need for blame...

you can't name your burger restaurant a slur and then not serve kosher burgers. it's literally in the talmud. i don't make the rules here.

persephone by sidney gish @greekgothgf.bsky.social · 3d

this is a restaurant chain in austin and the more i ponder its existence the more i feel my grip on reality shattering.

the burgers aren't kosher. it's misusing hebrew letters for the font in its logo. a new location is replacing a chinese place i ate at once a week 10 years ago.

the people who dunked on him for being australian are going to feast on his corpse and be shocked to find it provides no sustenance.

grew up in texas and a cowboy-pilled man has to be 100% dtf at all times. to be otherwise is an existential threat to your reputation.

for nicole kidman to take out keith urban this way? her powers have grown to a scale of cosmic proportions. i am frightened.
