I should probably have a pinned intro post, huh? Hi, I'm Gregiffer, I'm a queer Youtuber running the Pop Arena channel. I cover a lot of stuff, but my main project is Nick Knacks, a history of Nickelodeon that looks at every single show that ever aired on the channel.

That old Stacy Keach Mike Hammer show is streaming, never watched it, decided to check it out, half hour into the first TV movie Keach is sitting on a stoop lamenting on how there's not enough people on death row.

He describes a woman "having a real strong handshake," and I know where that's going.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I legit think all the time about how a polypropylene cone shaking really fast somehow can reproduce the sound of like a bunch of people talking and an orchestra playing all at the same time from 1 source like that's so fucking cool dude what the fuck that sounds impossible and made up but it's real.

Instead of being forced to talk about Big Tech's fake inventions we should celebrate the truly life changing feats of genius that we don't think about. The incredible "head phones." The humble toilet

lol, if you think this is a problem, then the thing you value in Predator movies is hyper-masculine macho men calling each other homophobic slurs.

'Predator: Badlands' will be PG-13

• Will still be as violent as possible

• There's no human red blood

• First mainline Predator film to not be Rated-R

People are so mad about this for absolutely no fucking reason. Like I highly doubt that after the success of Alien Romulus and Prey that they were going to play it safe with a PG-13 rating.

Sounds like MPAA didn't think the oozing white android goo was the same as blood so they gave it a pass.

There's a very, very small but not zero percent chance J.R.R. Tolkien played Pong. That Charlie Chaplin watched Star Wars. That Ginger Rogers drank an Ecto Cooler. That Samuel Beckett tuned into Miami Vice.

I know people who wanted those military benefits but didn't want to do war crimes and so they joined the National Guard.

Oops, I guess.

I have not watched a single episode of Seinfeld from beginning to end. I've caught clips, end of episodes while channel surfing, I've absorbed gags through cultural osmosis, but I've never sat down and watched Seinfeld.

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 3d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

You can have a social media platform that's popular and will give your work high visibility OR you can have a social media platform that *isn't* run by a fucking head-up-their-ass loser. You can't have both, I guess.
