I do not understand how Alvin and the Chipmunks is a franchise. "What if all your favorite songs sounded 12 times as annoying" doesn't seem like a winning premise.

I was telling people on Quora not to fall for her supposed face turn. I said she was an opportunist at best.

I genuinely am getting sick of being right about these things.

Augustus being so damn mad about his daughters being adulturers is kinda funny from such a distance. Like, who do you think they got that from?

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

The Lost Boys is quite possibly too 80s. I'm coughing on the hairspray. I think I have a cocaine high.

It's nice losing weight. I can just about wiggle through your pipes again.

I would be very happy if a Digimon game being popular and good forces Pokemon to try a bit harder, but I doubt it. They're still distinct enough that I suspect Pokemon can coast on unique brand identity.

I love old campaign buttons.

Taylor Swift needs somebody next to her when she writes her songs, and if she tries to write about drama they smack her with a newspaper.

Ah, a classic.

Purposeful understatement I hope.
It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Continuing the thread here! Onix was one of my faves to do, too, so you should all check it out.
Onix only drinks from heavily mineralized streams that run deep underground. Soft water is so unpleasant to it that it never emerges above ground except in the driest of deserts, for fear of being rained upon.

Never, EVER make time travel easy in a story unless you have some sort of fetish for plot holes.

Rappers in the 2010 really liked to insist that we knew things, even if we clearly did not. No Iggy Azalea, I did not already know that you're fancy. I had never heard of you.

It's a good thing that Scar was queer-coded. Otherwise Simba would have had to kill all his kids.

Did anybody ever like Mordankainen? He always seemed like a complete idiot and a fuckup to me, given he held to the supremely stupid first edition concept of neutrality.

Anybody got a favorite history book? I'm looking for more right now. I am quite okay with dense stuff, my major was history.

I wonder where the line on product placement is. Cause sometimes it doesn't bother me that much, but sometimes it's aggravating.

You murmurated in the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker.

I'm one of the few autists who loves airports and doesn't even mind flying that much, so all of this was pretty fascinating.
A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.
There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.

The VHS series is very up and down in quality, including within entries, but the best absolutely can hang with any of the classics. I think the first two, then '94 and '99, are BETTER than some of the highly-rated classics of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. I love Trick 'r Treat but I think it's beat out.

Is associating rabbits with the moon a Japan thing, or is it common in East Asia in general?
