Kyle MacLachlan Pens Tribute to David Lynch: ‘I Owe My Career to Him’ ❝ Kyle MacLachlan has paid tribute to David Lynch, the visionary filmmaker known for ‘Blue Velvet’ and ‘Twin Peaks,’ who died at the age of 78. 💬 Lynch’s decades-long collaboration with MacLachlan is up there with Scorsese/Deniro or Wes Anderson/Bill Murray… a pairing where very different people wielding very different artistic tools kept coming together to create magic.
AITA For Ruining Boyfriend With Autism’s Safe Food ❝ “He says I don’t understand his brain; I say he doesn’t understand our budget.” 💬 No sweetie, I’m the asshole. ‘Cause I’m sorry, but I don’t care about his problems: no one should be paying $47 for soup on a regular basis. Let’s just pretend it’s 1985 and tell the little fucker to pull up his big-boy pants and get over it.
The crypto scam behind those weird text messages ❝ In the last couple of years, I’m sure you’ve received texts that start with something like, “Hi! It’s [random name], remember me? How are you?” and try to engage you… 💬 To quote the poet Bobby Hill: “I don’t know you! Let go of my purse!”
Man Caught With Pants Down at Bikini Beans Coffee, Fatally Shoots Himself ❝ A despondent man fatally shot himself after he was caught with his pants down — literally — driving his car at a coffee shop in Arizona, authorities said. 💬 He did a shitty, potentially scary thing. They should have gotten his tags, called the cops, and turned over the evidence they collected. Done and dusted. Instead, some dumb fuck decided to go mob-rule on his ass, now he’s dead, and everyone involved is either going to (a) feel shitty for the rest of their lives or (b) grow increasingly defensive and toxic as the reality of it all eats away at their souls.
Gamers Suspect Elon Musk Is a Charlatan ❝ The X owner is facing accusations of “fraudmaxing” — faking his way to elite status in video games. 💬 It’s not an “accusation”.

Multiple women add detail to Neil Gaiman sexual assault allegations ❝ Multiple women add detail to Neil Gaiman sexual assault allegations 💬 The truth is always complicated and I’m gonna keep watching The Sandman whatever the case, but I must admit… dude’s ego is so huge that he stupidly assumed he could go from ‘hi, I’m Neil’ to ‘let’s play rape and I’m your master now’ in a half-hour. I mean… wow. Forget Alan Moore— Gaiman clearly thinks he’s a fucking magician. With that said, it also kinda sounds like Amanda had been procuring for him for quite some time, and his spiteful, entitled ass couldn’t imagine that she might send some poor girl over who hadn’t been groomed for the bath-and-bondage treatment.
Aligning Automattic’s Sponsored Contributions to WordPress — ❝ Automattic has always been deeply committed to the success of WordPress, dedicating significant resources and talent to its development for almost two decades. However, we’ve observed an imbalance … 💬 Matt Mullenweg destroyed the marketplace for paid blogging tools by incessantly pitching a free and open WordPress to the world, only to turn around and use his monopoly position to enrich himself and punish anyone who pisses him off. (It goes without saying that Tumblr has become worse since he acquired it.) He’s a typical startup asshole, in other words.
Why does Trump hate this tiny fish so much? ❝ As Los Angeles burns, President-elect Donald Trump is yelling at a fish. 💬 Why ask such a stupid question? He doesn’t know anything about the fish, and doesn’t care about it in any way. But he knows that someone he likes hates it, and someone he hates wants to protect it, so… fuck that fish!
New videos show off larger Nintendo Switch 2, snap-on Joy-Cons ❝ Accessory maker says 3D mock-up at CES is sourced from an actual console. 💬 I’m waiting to find out three things before I get excited: (1) how do the joycons feel?, (2) how big is that screen?, and (3) how much faster is it?
Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag’s LA Home Burns Down ❝ Spencer watched his and Heidi Montag’s house burn down via their security cameras. 💬 …but my empathy has to work a little harder on this one.
