[me, starting a text message I am sending directly to one person, where there is no need to either specify the recipient or get their attention] Hey,

"Oh you're such a picky eater ugh that's so annoying" do you think I want to be this way Beverly. Do you think I delight in almost barfing when I eat certain things. Do you think it thrills me that certain things ruin a dish for me.
Who the fuck thinks this is fun.

"Why won't System of a Down make more music?"
Listen to Daron's song Talkin Shit and read Serj's book and you'll figure it out.

Anyway. Support a ceasefire and an end to hostilities between Israel and Palestine, donate to Anera, nominate Netanyahu and Gvir as the first two people to be launched directly in the sun, fuck Hamas, reject all actions of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all other bigotries, and be good people.

"The French are naturally healthier than Americans."
You guys may walk more but you smoke like the world is ending.

Oh by the way: if you have not read Serj Tankian's memoir Down With the System yet, do so. Or better yet, listen to it. He reads the audiobook and it's very, very good.

In lighter news, my sister sent us a video of my niece, a little more than seven months old, watching the first Toy Story and cackling madly as the toys swarm Sid and terrify him.
I love her so much.

That line though about why he doesn’t use the word stripper, framing it as a badge of honor that he does not deserve… this is how you talk about sex work in a positive way.

I'm not sure I entirely understand the drama with Eurovision. If people boycotted it because of the Israeli presence, then it stands to reason that the people who did watch it either don't mind or outright support Israel, so there's a higher presence of those who would vote for the Israeli singer.

I think we need to put the word "fascism" on the shelf until you guys know what the fuck it actually is.

I love Sawyer with every bone in my body but every time they play music in the house that makes me feel like I'm being hunted for sport in a horror movie it makes me want to crack them over the head with a baseball bat.

We don't talk enough about the piece of shit wigs they put Christina Aguilera in in Burlesque.

Sinners was so good, what the fuck.

If I was at the Met Gala with this theme I'd want a fur coat with the fattest collar ever. Thick and lush enough to use as a pillow. I'd be acting like Cruella DeVil on that carpet, just smooshing my face into my coat and lavishing in the style.

It is your annual reminder that Cinco de Mayo is a distinctly Chicano/Mexican-American holiday, first celebrated when Mexicans in California heard about Mexico kicking the shit out of France and partied hard enough that they made it a tradition.

My family is many things but at least we are not the type of White People who claimed great-great grandma was a Cherokee Princess.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs made $418,200,000. It was released in December 1937.
Adjusted for 2025 inflation, that's the equivalent of making around $9,275,000,000.
Nine and a quarter BILLION dollars. During the great depression.
Unreal.

Hello I'm new and I'm only slightly damp.
