stop complaining about The Odyssey! if you want a historically accurate portrayal of Greece, watch Mamma Mia!

Seriously, this cheap wig was leftover from the Americans.

Restaurants should start putting "we don't use Taylor Farms" signs in their windows. I'm so tired of major news outlets tacitly blaming Taco Bell just because it was an easy joke on Late Nite back in the 90s.

The X-Files is great pretty much immediately, but Season 2 is comprehensively evil and paranoid in a particularly compelling way. Plus, the lighting is just immaculate

It's like he's posing for a high school portrait (I used Magic Eraser on this because there are a bunch of very personal momentos here)

There's a Family Guy spinoff focused on Stewie coming. Just in case anyone accidentally thought Fox hadn't completely given up.

I can't stay mad at the hot referee

I love just how much the injury drama gets stepped up for the World Cup Final. True Reno 911 energy.

Congratulations to Madonna. Opening for Miss Piggy is a true honor. This might be the thing that really jumpstarts Madonna's career.

Justin Bieber turned into that youth pastor who's just a little too handsy and nobody has done anything about this.

Worf: This too shall pass Kira Kira: Well can it get on with it?

I can't come up with a caption for this. I'm having fun and that's good enough.

This lettuce is literally everywhere and usually it’s in contexts where no one knows/discloses it. Taco Bell is one of the only places doing the right, proactive thing here and misleading headlines are flipping things around making seem like they’re a site of danger instead.
