i count my blessings every day that my centrist parents moved more left instead of right when MAGA kicked off, but it IS still very weird to me that as a result they now actively watch Jimmy Kimmel and South Park. Like that is not something I would’ve predicted in high school even a little bit

I don’t follow marvel comics much anymore, somebody’s definitely already done a soft reimagining of gamesmaster where he’s a challenge YouTuber a la Mr. Beast, right

ok but what if we got it in trump's head somehow that they should make a sequel to morbius

the best thing about this cross stitch piece I finished recently is that the designer is French and thus named the pattern “Kamaison”

really upset by how good BOTH versions of the KH snapcube theme song are. i came here to make fun of gummi ships not wrestle with my own preteen nostalgia

john wick definitely killed somebody there that night, right
He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

I was just reading the transcript and had to go back and listen to this part specifically to see if some joking tone was being lost in print. There wasn't! I think maybe he DID think these guys were fans of Polymarket!
There's a lot to say about the Roblox CEO interview, and the right place to start is definitely his answers on children's safety, because that's kind of the fire that is hottest and closest.

However, I have to also say, the polymarket stuff is real 'summation of our neoliberal dumpster fire' shit.

I wish we as a society would consider re-adapting Animorphs into a TV series. Like why are we wasting all this money on Welcome To Derry when we've already got a perfectly good vehicle for fucked-up body horror and war crimes featuring a bunch of 13 year olds, just sittin' there gathering dust

It's hilarious to me how much the Hunger Games prequels whip ass in a way that the HP prequels could never, in no small part because Suzanne Collins a) knows how to write for a visual medium b) still writes a book FIRST, and c) is EXTREMELY consistent with theming (fascism bad!!)
Every time I think I'm over this franchise, they drop "yeah but what if it was Hunger Games with Midsommar vibes?" and buddy, I'm right back in youtu.be/dKSsF9Dtjtg...

A rare plug from me because this story was surreal to report on as a former Uproxx reader (who dropped off after they laid off all their TV reporter, cough cough): www.adexchanger.com/tv/uproxx-ta...

i was born 20 days after the twin peaks premiere so it was the last cool pop culture thing for adults that my parents knew about for decades. they used to say "darn fine pie" all the time and i didn't realize it was an explicit (albeit modulated) reference until i saw it on tumblr gifsets in college
I was lucky enough to watch #TwinPeaks in the order it came out but for many, the first two seasons were hard to come by so #FireWalkWithMe was their introduction.

Not until the show hit Netflix and released on DVD did it take off again.

How did you first find "Twin Peaks"?

I have this but for recipe videos that start with “Did you know…??” Like yes, I DID know that if you combined ground beef, garlic, crushed tomatoes, onions and carrots then you will have a delicious pasta sauce, I‘ve eaten food before and understand that it is typically made of ingredients
I never understand when ads or spam or something begin with "Did someone say...???" No, no one said "discounted shipping." What a weird thing that would be to just say.

if they're gonna recast natasha lyonne on poker face then unfortunately they're gonna have to recast patti harrison too. gotta maintain the homoeroticism of the relationship dynamic or else the whole thing falls apart

I SWEAR i watched Santacon go from a charming oddity to an absolute nightmare in real time. In 2009 it felt like 50 guys in costumes wandering around Soho together, and by 2013 it had forcibly conquered Greenwich Village and razed all the sports bars therein

It's not all bad news, Liz! I'm a reaction image now! They're putting together a shared-universe IP and they need a replacement after the little girl in front of the burning house got arrested for insurance fraud.
