Don’t even TALK to me about how Bobby Berk from Queer Eye, who was disowned by his family when he came out and lost his home at 15, has built an entire career around creating a home for other people so no one else ever has to go through that experience of feeling uncomfortable or lonely without a home

I wonder if that disastrous original script for the Holes movie, which was written by the guy who wrote Donnie Darko, is still in circulation on the internet. It was insane.

Like the landscape was all barren not because of a curse but because there’d been a nuclear apocalypse and subsequent plague, and Stanley went to prison camp not because he stole a pair of shoes but because he mercy-killed his own plague-riddled sister. And Pendanski sneaks the boys out to take them to a truckstop bar and buys them prostitutes. And it’s revealed at the end that the conspiracy of the camp is that they’re digging for, not buried treasure, but old nuclear warheads. And there’s a running theme about how “you can’t bury the past.”

I mean the scope and intensity of the changes made to make it more “adult” were pretty clever, but so unnecessary. The fairy tale-esque whimsy was so integral to the story and such a part of its charm that making it darker kind of defeated the entire purpose

I can only imagine the Nickelodeon execs reading this script in open-mouthed horror, and then a long silence before they went “well what if we just got the guy who wrote the book to write it”

all these male politicians passing bills banning abortion are not pro-life, they’re anti-choice. It’s not about saving the lives of unborn babies, it’s about limiting a woman’s choices. If it was about saving the lives of babies, they would direct action towards foster kids, children being detained at the border, and at risk kids. If it was really about saving children, they wouldn’t ban abortion because this just means woman will go back to clothes hanger abortions, boiling themselves in tubs, or throwing themselves down stairwells. Banning abortion will not stop abortion, it just means more people have to get hurt or die because of it.

this vine is one year old but everything about this is art. the camera rotates a full 180 degrees around a point. the child in the background misses an easy basketball shot then gets hit in the face in the face with a basketball. the fact that this kids name is semi. the fucking beat is three notes and semi kills that shit with one of the hottest bars dropped in this decade. ‘money add then multiply’ means that semi knows his fuckin shit but he doesnt know how to say mathematics. put this fucking vine on a cd so it can be looped by aliens 3000 years in the future

you missed the kid’s genius - he can spell mathematics, he goes an extra step, it’s (M)oney (A)dd (Th)en (M)ultiply, I call that MATHM-Mathematics

this post never dies and you know what? i hope it never does. long live Semi the King.
