Rooting for you Olivia Dean but I can't hear that 🎶it's so easy/to fall in love with...🎶 song without instantly being transported back to working retail I'm so sorry

WNBA needs to realize and quick that transphobes will never buy tickets because they don't actually give a fuck about women's sports. But the fans who DO give a fuck will not take kindly to hand-wringing or both-sidesing over this reactionary culture war horseshit

Dear Sir, While we commend your enthusiasm, we will not be adding your character "Rap Scallion" to the Veggie Tales roster. We acknowledge receipt of your demos "Get Ur Meek On," "Sin & Juice," and "Pews Yourself" and ask that you refrain from continuing to send them. Yours in Christ,

Assorted toy gems and coins

“Are you guys ready for your navel-gazing meta-product lessons?” Movies about Hollywood gulped Albums about the Music Industry nodded Novels about Authors blinked nervously “Yes, Scholarship about Academia,” they said in unison

Persuading myself it's good for a guy to be a little cringe (earnest, probably less online) but it's really hard to sustain attraction when he asks if you "wanna get noms"

Friend took ChatGPT’s vacation suggestions at face value and realized they’re terrible only after booking…….. how do I turn this into a teachable moment without being an insufferable smug scold

Watched a man whip his dinged-up VW into a tight parallel parking spot all while chatting with a buddy and smoking a cigarette and regrettably I am extremely turned on

Even setting aside how he treats his romantic partners, referencing Don Draper in your dating profile just invites potential dates to measure your looks against Jon Hamm's. Unforced error!

On the one hand, Drag Race queens who insist they're stars even out of drag are vastly overestimating their cultural cachet. But on the other hand it's kind of essential for drag queens to have delusions of grandeur. So

Neither here nor there really but I took a Classical Mythology gen ed class in college and the professor's claim to (mainstream/non-academic) fame was turning down a consulting role on Disney's Hercules

Sure we as gays get to be a little narcissistic but I saw a guy post about the death of a friend to actively and explicitly solicit compliments for himself and that uhhh feels like it crosses a line
