Question:

If all men have a perfect Kermit the Frog impression they can pull out on a moment's notice,

and all women can do the same thing with a Jennifer Coolidge impression,

what perfect impression can all non-binary people do? 🤔

I may be thinking this because I just finished catching up on The Boys, but Newsom is very Victoria Neuman-coded (aka a sociopath willing to say and do whatever secures him a clearer path to power)

I went to this last year when I was coming up on a year of being out of work. Networked a little, sat in on a decent panel by someone from Titmouse, but otherwise worthless.

Shocked but not shocked to hear it has somehow become even more worthless

Oh and apparently one of the 2 panels presented that day was about using Gen AI as a creative?? Fuck off with that.

When I went last year, I was at a major lowpoint. Out of Work for almost a year, desperate for any leads, spending every day tweaking my resume/cover letter templates and firing applications into the void.

I imagine most people attending this year were in the same boat. I can feel their frustration

I attended this last year while I was looking for work and it was borderline worthless.

Shocked to learn that a year later it has somehow become even more worthless

I attended the Burbank Media industry job fair yesterday, where no one was hiring. At the job fair. The fair for jobs.

You ever watch a film and just know it’s a seminal medium-defining work of peak interdisciplinary storytelling all you can say in the moment is “Ughaaaghaghaa” and then cry?

So yeah everyone watch K-Pop Demon Hunters.

This was one of the first games I ever played as a toddler.

I hear the Sunrise Spring theme and immediately feel like I’ve come home

I was traumatized by that fuckass whale in Evening Lake

"Centrists" are just ashamed conservatives. There is no "center" because they never break away from conservative politics. Every breath you hear spoken about appealing to "centrists" is just appealing to conservatives who don't wear their red ballcaps. That's all it's ever been. It's why we're here.

Ya'll did you know that whoever can string, the old king's bow, and shoot through twelve axes cleanly, will be the new king, sit down at the throne, Penelope as his queen?

It's funny: 5-7 years ago, I would be counting down the days to an MCU movie like this, but now that feeling of excitement has just been replaced with passive acceptance. Like I think, "yeah this movie is coming, I'm probably going to see it, and there's nothing I can do about either of those facts"

You ever notice how Trump isn’t really talking about taking over Greenland or the Panama Canal anymore?

It’s almost like they were just distractions to flood our media feeds while they do something a lot less flashy and more sinister behind the scenes

Or something 🤔 🤔 🤔
