Before Barbenheimer, there was “Apocalypse in Pink,” the August 1983 theme of fashion/culture magazine SPECTAGORIA. The issue’s controversial imagery of Barbie-esque models attempting to stay gorgeous and glamorous amidst nuclear annihilation sought to, in the words of editor/photographer Sera Clairmont, “revel in the morbid absurdity of the new American condition,” an “anxiety vibrating underneath all our plastic smiles.”
“It’s The Hot Pink Cold War,” Clairmont wrote in her introduction. “It’s ‘Material Girl’ on the radio and ‘WarGames’ at the drive-in. It’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ interrupted by the emergency broadcast signal. We’re told to look sexy, dress fashionable, make money, and spend money, but be sure we’re just the right amount of terrified about the bomb. Get that Malibu dream home, keep working on that perfect body, sip cocktails by the pool in your little pink bikini and watching the stocks go up — but STAY VIGILANT! and for God’s sake vote Republican, because that dream home could melt into a pink plastic inferno at any given moment. Just don’t stop smiling as the blast liquefies your skin into bubbling ooze like a Barbie doll in a microwave - it’s bad for the economy.”

The mainstream media’s “bothsidesism” is slowly legitimizing the neofascism of the Republican Party.
It seems to me that true journalistic integrity would involve telling the truth about one of the “sides,” when it represents a neofascist movement that could literally destroy our democratic institutions.

Where can I get a big shirt of this?
therapist: looking forward to anything this year?
me: um…
today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy
Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? That’s fine. Cat too? Love cats.
My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.
I don’t think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.
Alright, hair. It’s time to face your doom.

Italians literally have maggot cheese. Ain’t nobody joking about it 🤔
Honestly the MCU is doing exactly what I wanted when I was a "I need more info" nosey but lazy kid. It's told me who's who (iron man), what they're doing (avengers), the big story (end game), then it's gone on to stay with those characters, introduce more characters (wanda) and tell me more about those characters (wandavision) and their lives (Multiverse of Madness)
And after all that I'm just so glad I got to see wanda tear everyone apart after the universe tore her apart lol you go girl
My bold prediction is that Brendon Urie is going to leave the public eye for a year, maybe two years max and then attempt to make a comeback with his new "wife guy" persona.
My second prediction is that this will blow up in his face within six months
