Nothing needs to change other than people’s inherent bias towards kicking a football instead of throwing it, and recognizing that if we’re given the same opportunities as QBs with equivalent equipment, we can do cool shit too.

David Bowie opens The Concert for New York City, a benefit for September 11 first responders, with a song that took a long, last symbolic look at an America which would be forsaken and irreversibly transformed by the decades long War on Terror.

Tonight Þvörusleikir (Spoon Licker), the 4th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He sneaks in to lick used þvörur (large wooden cooking spoons).
Children leave their shoes out for him in the window. He gives the good ones a small gift or a treat. The bad ones get a potato.

It's a little known fact that the predator in Predator isn't actually arming a bomb on its wrist computer near the end, but is calling The Police.

Somewhat enjoying the not-so-subtle Fuck You the Pats are laying on the Bills right now. Two Maye running TDs as if to say, how's your MVP rushing QB now, Buffalo? And it's got to sting because Buffalo can't win without Allen running too much. That doesn't work in the playoffs. Maye can do both.

having the Count sing "I Saw Three Ships" is so inspired
We’ll probably never again see such a casual, celebratory, & memorable gathering of Jim Henson’s family of characters as is found in 1987’s A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS…

Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

People want the planes to fly on time and not crash due to overworked air traffic controllers, and these guys are like "you know what they need: pull up bars at the gate."

Bringing an actual pull-up bar to the airport press conference to demonstrate your pull-up form on TV without being 1000% sure you can do a bunch of really cool pull-ups first is the perfect demonstration of the Trump administration's approach to literally everything

I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

it is impossible to overstate the extent to which this country is now being run by people you would leave a party rather than talk to for five minutes
they hate music, they hate art, they hate artists, they hate pop, they hate the video games they play, they hate the movies they watch, like, they're just all the worst fucking people you've ever met, none of them believe in anything
