Turns out they didn’t have the meats after all

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 1d

Arby's is being sued for false advertising

Lawsuit alleges:

• Ads make the sandwiches appear to have 'at least 100% more meat' than they really do

• Made the meat look like rare roast beef when it is actually 'fully cooked'

Arby's lost its motion to dismiss the case

Need to share for anyone who doesn't know the story of how Drew Struzan painted the poster art for The Thing in less than 24 hours

The Thing | The story behind Drew Struzan's iconic poster

Artist Drew Struzan created an iconic poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing. Incredibly, it was conceived and painted in a matter of hours…

This is why we need more queer stories in mainstream media. This current administration made the studios too chickenshit to promote the hell out of this movie. In a just world, this would at least be in the top 3 at the box office.

KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN was a total bomb. It appears that it made about $900,000 over the weekend.

Wonder if it made less than A BIG BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY.

There was no one who could create a more eye-catching poster than Drew Struzan. So many famous films owe a lot to them thanks to his beautiful posters. I'm very sad to hear that he passed this morning.

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 12h

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 13h

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

Why do all of the "Young Republicans" look 50?

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 18h

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

I've never understood some men's obsession with having children (especially male children) as a form of leaving a legacy. Especially since those same men rarely want to help raise those kids. An individual person isn't a monument to your DNA. You didn't actually accomplish anything but reproduce.

At a time when billionaires would be all too happy to replace artists with AI slop, I think it's important to celebrate artists like Drew Struzan.

If you've seen a movie poster in the past 30+ years, you've seen something he did. A true master of the craft.
