Words are wild

That is a lot of money

Take a train

1. Talk it out

It's a lot for one job.

No hot sauce for him

The opposite of amazeballs

Twitter Blue is out in full force, and with that comes the Twitter Blue defenders. Many people are roasting those who've subscribed to this paid verification service, and they are getting a wee bit defensive about it. If I paid $8 a month for a practically worthless service, I, too, would get a bit defensive about it. One dude went viral for the oxymoron “I'm paying for free speech.” Others exalt the new feature as a way to find community and boost your tweets. Unfortunately, having a blue chec…

Outrageous

One of the first things I learned about in film studies, after Eadweard Muybridge's The Horse in Motion, and the works of the Lumiere brothers, was the Hollywood Studio System. While it was technically the creation of Jewish immigrants, which sounds progressive, it was, in fact, a very toxic empire and way of conducting business.

There is no denying it: Pedro Pascal is having a bit of a moment.

Not that we're complaining. The actor is the man of the moment. People are proclaiming him both “Daddy” and “Zaddy,” and it's not hard to see why. Between his acting ability and kind, funny, and thoughtful interviews and off-screen mo…

Twitter used to be better. At least, that’s what my nostalgia-pilled brain is telling myself when I complain about the infamous bird app. When I was a kid, Twitter felt a lot less focused on mind-numbing discourse and more about retweeting the Anti-Joke Apple every 5 minutes. Now, you feel inundated with hot takes and the most absurd opinions ever concocted by the human mind every time you log on. It’s truly exhausting. One of the most interesting things about Twitter is that it hasn’t drastica…
