Bruh the ppl coming for miss Rachel cause she said children in Gaza shouldn’t die are legit the closest thing to real life goblin creatures I can think of. Just absolute unhinged fuckin lunacy that’s so brazenly disgusting I’m embarrassed for ALL of us as a species.

i think it takes me just as long to write the cold open as it does to write the remaining 25-30 pages of a comedy pilot. Someday I will study this phenomenon, and if I ever sell one of these fucking things I'll discuss it at one of those bougie ass panels or whatever.

In June of 2016 I was at a GOT watch party, saw the Battle of the Bastards in a house full of beloved friends. Television was in its Golden Age. Trump seemed like a joke candidate. I was a spry 30 year old, and just signed with a lit agency.

The grim reaper doesn't kill you, right? He just escorts you to the afterlife? Why does he need to look like that then. Clean yourself up man, I'm not going anywhere with you dressed like this

STRANGER THINGS has finally accomplished, in 10 years, what THE X-FILES accomplished in like 2 and a half seasons. Wild to watch an entire industry actively move backwards and even more wild to be in that industry just watching it go down like you're in the band on the Titanic.

What would be the funniest indie band to do a cash-in Xmas album? Refused? Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Fugazi?

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Hot take: astrology is obvi not real but there are similarities in ppl born at diff times of the year affected by being a certain age for certain seasons, being smallest or biggest in class, etc. And hating astrology as your entire personality is just as insufferable as the ppl who worship it.

I cannot quite explain how fucking incredible whale documentaries are to me. This shit is literally my jam. People have ruined people, I can no longer connect with you freaks. But whales I love and I can’t wait until you evolve thumbs and take this planet from us.

friendly reminder that you can buy some anti-fascist comedy in book form (for VERY cheap) and if I sell enough of these I might convince them to produce the screen version

THIS! I remember in the 90s when conservatives were arguing that being gay didn’t need to be accepted because it was a choice. I was just hitting [straight male] puberty and couldn’t think about anything that WASNT girls. I was like “um… you guys can choose? Because I cant. Maybe yall are just gay?”
you ever read something and think how close the author is to realizing something but can't?
