legally they cannot stop you from trying all the free samples in the mall food court. freelance camera idiot, views directly represent YUM brands & myself only
“ijbol” gotta be the worst online acronym of all time. no cadence, no rhythm, no character to it. a crude and inadequate substitute for the timeless, versatile, unimpeachable “lmao”
I was teaching an MSc/PhD course two years ago that had a large number of enrolled students. As soon as the semester started, all but one of the students dropped out and I had yet to teach a single lecture that semester. Hence, it is rather suspicious that all students would
sometimes i see people talk about CRJ having bad pr or management or whatever and yeah that's absolutely true but at the same time: she's kinda figured it out? she still sells out fairly large shows. being an ultra star seems like a nightmare, i dont wish that upon her
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
To die in Springfield is the ultimate indignity. It is to be cast out of Eden not for sin but as a declaration of insignificance. In a closed world that seems to spin forever, there is only nonexistence in death, one that posthumously extends to life. Troy McClure never died.
Ashton Kutcher has access to a beta version of OpenAI's Sora and says it will lead to personalized movies and a higher standard of content through increased competition
So Disney+ has now been removed from Tesla vehicles. I’m assuming this is in retaliation to Disney pulling advertising from X (which they have every right to do).
So now I, as a mom, get to deal with telling my toddlers we can’t watch Disney+ while in our Tesla and deal with
tbh the show afterwards wasnt so bad and the final season was a return to form. a historically, seismically bad episode but also the two of them have been far more vocal on gaza than nearly any other celebrity. time to let it go children
i think some of you have close to zero manners or respect for people on a level that aligns with your professed beliefs and i say this as a fundamentally rude person myself
honestly gotta be something to how community was both one of if not the single biggest cultural incubator of the 2010s and also maybe the most toxic set & writers room humanly possible
Joel McHale had physical fights with Chevy Chase on the set of "Community" and reveals: "I got in trouble one time because I injured him. I dislocated his shoulder.”
Ariana Grande confirms her album will be called “Eternal Sunshine”
— It is based off a Jim Carrey movie which the character goes through and rough divorce, then they try to erase their memories
“ijbol”- desperate to let everyone know the mechanisms of your physical act of laughing, defining the humor by your own relationship to the material, rather than the joke itself
“lmao”- keeps your frame of reference to the joke brief. the subject is your ass leaving your body
artists are such fucking babies, man. this world is unfair but the industry is so saturated with trust fund types it becomes infectious. its always been like this!!! “creative” is a class signifier and nothing more
here's the thing: there is literally no action on earth that would justify the Nanking-level slaughter and Hiroshima-level infrastructural demolition that Israel has inflicted upon the people of Gaza. It literally doesn't matter. No possible justification on earth.
If you have an opinion on the Israel-Hamas war and you haven’t read todays NYT investigation into what was done to live and dead women’s bodies, you need to sit down.
hm. at first i thought chappell roan seemed good. then everyone kept posting about her and i thought she was bad. then everyone kept posting about her in a dumb way and i decided shes good again. one day i hope to listen to one of her songs and settle this once and for all
making redbubble merch stealing something from a clearly unstable person who, horrific and indefensible actions aside, is the most cyberbullied person in human history and should probably be in some level of protective care (for both self & others)
its so interesting how contextually dated (not a knock, it's great) this scene feels now- through no fault of its own as much as how thoroughly and extensively its been ripped off, like it was taken to a junkyard and was parted out into video games and lesser films for a decade
well leftists. i hope you’re happy. you know this system of governance that you have repeatedly stated should be dismantled and its stewards executed in the streets like dogs? well, it fucked up again,
i have genuine respect for this man but every time i see a photo of him i am incapable of perceiving it as anything but a bit about a comedian whose taking himself too seriously as director
think its important to admit when im just wildly wrong and i think its safe to admit i was wildly wrong in my read of the trump assassination attempt ‘s effects and boy howdy am i glad about that. truly no one gives a shit lol

it sucks so bad that this is happening while he literally has a massive career retrospective exhibit at the academy museum. what a stupid fucking industry!
John Waters on the status of “Liarmouth”:
"There is no scoop here. Aubrey [Plaza] likes the script, wants to be in it, I want her to be in it, and every person said, 'No, we don’t have a penny of the budget.' That is where it is today."
the only possible lens of “creative” these types think about are in the form of a consumptive and marketable product. so many people on the peripheral of your tiny little life are creative in ways that cannot even fit into a box
plenty of people are developing new sounds/art. they are, as ever, usually not the art marketed aggressively in this world. if you only consume what is hand delivered to you, then sure. but i guarantee wherever you live people are making cool art if you look even a little
everyone tries to trace the origins of what is colloquially known as “soyface”to reddit or some youtube guy or whatever, theyre all wrong: the first instance was owen wilson on the poster for the 2011 comedy “hall pass”
lmao also provides an easy point of escalation in riffing and response- the once overused, now finely aged “lmfao”. the terms lmao and lmfao in fact can be a call and response to each other. “ijbol” stops dead in the water. where do you go from there? back to homeroom, i suppose
this looks like shit but youre not mad at color grading. youre not mad at cgi. youre mad at deteriorating and dire labor conditions especially in post houses, and youre mad at noncomittal meddling execs who push a style of production predicated on “fix it in post”
the first time i saw this (an all time favorite) i immediately pulled up both of their wikipedias because no movie's chemistry has ever had me more convinced that two costars were boning
mad max is a series with 5 movies where four of them have a serious and legitimate argument for being the best in the series and among the best action films ever made
the physical actions & verbal outbursts implied by these phrases:
“lol”: i am currently laughing
“lmao”: i am currently laughing, and my ass just flew off my body
“lmfao”: i am watching family guy
“ijbol”: everyone. stop what youre doing. did you see me laugh just now?
i say this with a full and genuine respect and mourning for the dead on 10/7, a respect these bloodthirsty hawks seem to entirely lack: this is the single most disrespectful thing you can do to a corpse. you have denied their humanity & made them unconsenting props for war
@slimegirlmarx2
its not the contents itself alone. its the synthesis of everything in every one of these images- the angle, the time of day, the emptiness- combined with the kind of nauseous flourescent lighting there
Like they have an entire store dedicated to cinnamon rolls what the fuck
And they taste like nothing you ever had
Not dry like in cafe, but hot and smooth and juicy
I understand why ppl get fat here it's too good
i think CC is a case where you can draw a straight line from it bubbling out as a larger phenomenon to the internet culture we have today. its certainly one of the major imageboard-culture spillover events, less so than some of the more mass appeal memes, moreso as a template.
this site makes people, self included, so comfortable speaking authoritatively about other people’s motivations when they have absolutely no idea what theyre talking about
people idly begging for technicolor is fascinating because its an eye into this fraught moment for style: everyone wants to replicate looks from a process- whether its faux film or vhs or what- but with the convenience of modern workflows. you cant! the process is the style!
find it interesting how much more frequently this fact seems to go around and the fact the number seems to keep going up. almost like there seems to be some kind of incentive to think about those around us as less human or something. ah well,
Apparently 50-70% of people don’t have an inner monologue. As someone who does I have so many questions. Such as when you read a book do you not hear the words in your head as you read them? What happens?
ijbol, however, feels built for this particular dire moment of online, one where the reaction itself is treated as the main event and not the action. it is asking someone to fetch your smelling salts. it is saying “please, look at how i am laughing”. the joke is secondary
you know back in the day i made fun of games like Bioshock for having the most infantile understanding of “moral choices” imaginable, but its become clear that this world is, in fact, full of cowards who view “harvest the child” or “save the child” as a “complex” choice after all
my view on the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it’s been going on for more than a century & there are shades of gray on both sides. It’s is not a simple story of good vs evil. This may sound obvious but acknowledging complexity too often gets you tarred as a heinous person.

i dunno man if i had dozens of students posting “he spends the whole class on twitter or complaining about it” id probably reassess my teaching style and life choices
pretty remarkable how everyone took his remarkable, A+ joke and turned the evocation of it into something that makes me audibly groan every time i see this image
it is one thing to do this stuff about a public figure, a politician or a celebrity or someone who has made a faustian pact for money and therefore is fair game. this is just someone who said something dumb while they were basically a kid. it was overblown by hour 3 of posting it
the entirety of siskel and ebert’s show should be put on a single free digital broadcast channel -yknow, 72-4 or whatever- shuffling every single episode around and playing them in a completely random order, 24/7 until the end of television
More than 450 Jewish creatives, executives and Hollywood professionals have signed an open letter denouncing Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” Oscar speech.
