Oh my god. Did you see Telemachus’s hat? He looks so fucking stupid. I can’t breathe
I don’t know why it’s so funny to me that playing a YouTube video beyond 2X is a premium feature. Like who’s gonna watch a YouTube video at 4X speed let alone pay for the privilege to do so?
twin peaks the return episode 8 'got a light?' is superior in every way to oppenheimer and i feel like im insane seeing all the people on twitter say oppenheimers nolans beest work

Charli goddammit you've done it again. Sitting here just grooving out to David Cronenberg reciting, "They are dead, they are gone, no one lasts forever."

Why are they still culture warring the Odyssey? This is so cringe. It's over. They keep saying "historically accurate" like the term will hide their deep insecurities over trannies and a black women. Have they no shame?
Presumably including a historically accurate cyclops
the thing about how 'the artist is dead' is now a mainstream modality for INTERPRETING art is that a lot of dumbasses also take it to mean they can MAKE art while knowing absolutely nothing about anything
reading narnia with my 9-year-old has taught me so much about Joanna Newsom lyrics I never understood
people who write the biggest moral high horse takes on a substack.... really??
gonna play one or two more crucible matches and then delete destiny. the vibes are so bad and it all feels pointless now
the -chella vs -palooza suffix is one of the more subtle but strong generational shibboleths we have today
did people really used to hear CHIMES so much they made up a whole saying about chiming in?
efforts to coin a new term for "girl boss" are NOT going well
calling it now, the novelty popcorn buckets gonna be the tiny gavel
