I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

My 13 yo guitar student finally told me what music he listens to. Radiohead. This is a major breakthrough.

I've always looked at drummers like they're skilled labourers. You call them when there's a job to do. They usually own a truck.

One thing about drummers is they're always replaceable. The public might complain but once the band starts playing they don't care anymore. Very few exceptions.

I love that places are not allowing ICE to use their bathrooms. They can shit their pants to be more like their Pedof*le in Chief.

My friend’s dad Malcolm Ducker, former RAF pilot, dad & grandad, is among those still being held in a maximum security Israeli prison for the crime of trying to bring food & medicine to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Read: www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-and-...

US and UK 'immensely let down' families of detained Gaza flotilla activists

Israel still holding hundreds of activists in Ketziot prison, with British and American citizens receiving little help

The Rock isn’t a serious actor. Nobody sees him as one. He should have tried this route 20 years ago before making half a dozen GI Joe movies or whatever. The Safdies made a mistake casting here and it probably cost them in the end.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

A lot of comedians are just horrible assholes but I also wonder if the rush to embrace the Riyadh Comedy Festival money says something about how bad the internal economy of the comedy podcaster sphere is doing

Wow, so shocked that so many "comedians" who made their name shitting on vulnerable people and populations and giggling out slurs on podcasts would take House of Saud money that forbids them from joking about the House of Saud all while braying about the sacredness of Free Speech

I was a huge fan of the Eddie Murphy comedy specials.

There's no question that these comedians are skilled in their craft. I was a fan of many of them at some point. It's their material that has gotten old with the changing times.
