@_Jeffery0 No surprise here. In the Marvel era, Hollywood makes stars out of superheroes not people. Spider Man is the star now not Tom Holland. Any big name star was made a long time ago (Cruise, Washington, etc).

@fwtimini My kids can’t fathom the idea of a phone book. Just blows their minds!

@dylamlan @evan_thayer I had to scroll way too long to see this comment. Shocked no one seems to be mentioning it. Good eye.

@mylesmill Desus and Mero really put chopped cheese into pop culture. Not saying people weren’t eating it but they made it broadly known

[Dexter King® @DexterKing]

@extrakumquattea @sumitroy2 Agreed. They could’ve just kicked it back and told Bodner to pay it with his own money. This whole thing was a pretext to get rid of him.

@SithZealot It’s basically dance choreography like kung fu movies or well done fighting scenes. We’ve also been seeing it over and over and over for decades. Any fight scene loses the effect after that.

@SoDebNair Back when Edgewater NJ was poppin.

@KenAcree @JTAlexander Agreed. If you were ever going to use VR it would be so you could view a football game from the 50yd line or attend a concert from the best seats. Saying VR would democratize VIP access would have been much better than touting attending business meetings as an avatar.

@DujeCaletaTzar @NBATopTen_ Came here to say to say this… if you’re all time dunk list does not include Shawn Kemp then it is suspect

@_FarmercistP_ I thought this guy was supposed to be smart. She has an involuntary condition?? But she was able to drain their checking AND savings AND lie repeatedly?? What?? 😂

@careywfindley @zweiwalker89607 You gotta think of Vader likes he’s the head of the CIA or Mossad. He does the things that you don’t send the military to do. He still has to respect the military’s leader (can’t kill one of his officers) but he doesn’t answer to them.

@DrellLabs @vidsthatgohard I would say Australian. They are always EVERYWHERE!

@NYzMikey @Promiseishim That’s the one inconsistency that makes sense. Plenty of bulletproof vests would not withstand a knife treat especially from pointed edges. The Noir death was stupid though

@MichelleMaxwell This is why I make my kids use a pencil and paper when they do schoolwork practice. It’s crucial for true understanding.

One of the best written posts I’ve read in a long time. So. Much. Sludge.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

@tannerguzy The skinny suit was popularized by Hedi Slimane and Thom Browne not skate culture. Also contributing was the tv show Mad Men (2007) which caused a huge resurgence of suit silhouettes from the 1960s. Instagram wasn’t created until 2010.

@marcportermagee There’s a reason why these schools have a lot of international students. A ton of them pay full freight.
