truly my LEAST favorite form of advertisement these days is the faux-tiktoker/influencer who is here to Sell Me Something. the “omg unbox my Pureology (TM) skincare haul!!!” “doing the #NespressoChallenge!!!” “you guys will not BELIEVE what i got from shein-“ like its scary. its WEIRD. not only do i have no idea who these perfectly manicured, babytalking people are they feel less like real people than even an actual advertiser does. stop trying to make me believe you are my friend. you are something inhuman to me. you are a changeling. you are a brand wearing ill fitting human skin and i see its skeletal shape shift beneath the surface.
genuinely obsessed with the grimace milkshake meme I hope it's got the McDonald's marketing team locked in a board room biting their nails desperately trying to figure out if this is positive press or not
how could they possibly have predicted this
I literally can't stop watching these

i got several texts asking about a ps5 that i do not have and am not selling and, naturally, i pretended the ps5 was a copy of finkles world for the playstation 2
by the way about half a year after this happened i contacted this person from a different number asking about a ps5 they had for sale (no clue if they really did actually have one) but claiming i lived in chicken, alaska
these are all the screenshots i can find from when i did that. unfortunately i can’t get more. i think they were saying the ps5 would cost 700 dollars and they were claiming would arrive the very next day even though it was a saturday at the time, and also i was claiming to be in chicken, alaska

TV Executives: “if the strike goes on, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”
Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.
Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.
And the thot plickens….
HOLY FUCK
SAG-AFTRA = Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists
More info:
- The actors walk off at the end of June if the studios don’t sit down with the writers
- Rumor is directors will follow. This will grind everything to a halt.
- Nobody is asking for a boycott. Neil Gaiman has pointed out that making Good Omens S2 a huge hit actually puts more pressure on Amazon to negotiate with the writers
- This implies it’s okay to catch up on old streaming content without breaking the line too
- This is a screenwriter strike; books will keep coming out.
- Movies already made will keep coming out for months. Again, actors have not called for a boycott; you aren’t breaking the line if you go see a movie.
- I don’t know where this puts podcasts but none of them have studio funding or platforms so they’ll probably keep going.
- Substack/Tumblr book club are all public domain works and will keep going. In addition to Dracula Daily there’s Whale Weekly, Dickens Daily, My Dear Wormwood (The Screwtape Letters), Letters from Watson (Sherlock Holmes) and more.
- Your local library always needs love. With the Libby app you don’t even need to physically go there.
interesting fact i have titanium in my spine
Fun Fact!
Titanium not only is crazy durable, but it noo magnet! Thas wy Dock chok jjiun spi; surgyr ad pater noster, qui es in cœlis; sanctificetur nomen tuum: Adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cœlo, et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie: Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris: et ne nos inducas in tentationem: sed libera nos a malo.
dude got hit with the ol’ Lorum Ipsem beam😞
i love how whenever something gets popular the underground tormented avant garde bloggers start becoming self conscious of liking it/finding it funny, and it eventually evolves into aggression towards it. doesnt matter what it is. unrelated but i saw someone call isopods cringe today
