Real ones know I hated on Chris Pratt way ahead of the game, back during Parks and Rec. Something seemed incomplete about him, “You’ll see” I said frequently and was right. In 2022, I’m officially making the same call on Tom Holland, and this is my entering it into public record

Something about Tom Holland really annoys the shit out of me…sorry if this offends
Quote Tweet
Tom Holland says he, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire have a group chat called The Spider-Boys.
“Myself, Andrew, Tobey — we have this amazing bond as three people who have been through something that is so unique that we really are like brothers.“

It’s true. I was up for the job, but they asked me “What’s your specialty dish?” When I pulled out a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and poured the ungodly contents all over the Bon Appetit desk, I was showed the door immediately

am absolutely losing my mind at Bill de Blasio FINALLY speaking out about dropping that groundhog (which died several days later) in 2014.
"I put on these gloves, and they’re like, 'Here’s a groundhog,' I’m like, 'What the fuck?'"

I believe we settled on asking a brand consultant if Alex from Target was going to be able to make any money off of this. Of course, he was already making money. At Target. Real beginning of the end stuff

I remember being told by my boss at the time “We NEED to do something on Alex From Target” and genuinely not knowing what to do with that request.

Thus far The Idol scans to me as two shows—one about the sickos of the music industry and one about a weird little guy with awful friends—and the latter just so happens to be completely unwatchable. I will keep watching for the other half though, not much else better to do

I actually totally believe The Weeknd when he says that Tedros on The Idol is supposed to be a loser, and I still think he’s doing a terrible job of conveying that through acting. It is what it is

salvia being sold on the boardwalk in the 2000s was such a wild west era. you could be too young to drink and walk into a t shirt shop to get a psychedelic so powerful it made you think you were a fence post for 1000 years

I loved these three guys. They’re gone.
I’m battling Parkinson’s but I’m still in the game. To all of you still alive, disheartened over one thing or another, take a moment to try and be grateful for the chance to still have a life with some joy. ❤️🙏🌈
