Very similar, but I am touched that the UK version contains 200% more Dolly Parton than the other list. Our greatest export?

From a Certain Point of View The title of the blog post this week comes from the incredible Obi-Wan Kenobi after he is dropping the bombshell of Darth Vader being Luke's father in Return of the Jedi. That concept is what came to mind while reading The Bible Told Them So: How Southern Evangelicals Fought to Preserve White Supremacy by J. Russell Hawkins because of how this book approaches this time in history. I have never read anything from the intentional perspective of the oppressors in such an unpolished and disturbing way, and I mean that as a compliment.

How Southern Evangelicals Fought to Preserve White Supremacy. Something we know in a way we didn't.

On one level, as I mentioned, this list is populated almost entirely with licensed music from film and tv. On the other hand, anecdotally? I do think Madonna is slowly dropping off the cultural radar. The Kids don't seem to care about her. Interesting to theorize why.

Also, weirdly, memes. That's why "You Make My Dreams Come True" is the top H&O, for example, it's for that first 10 seconds.

This is mostly a list of songs that were used in movies and tv shows last year. Marty Supreme is exerting some recency bias with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Forever Young"

my boss at the southern reach told me expeditions keep going missing in area x so i asked how many theyve sent in and my boss said they just find new people afterwards and i said it sounds like theyre just feeding people to area x and lowry started crying

Whenever I do something really boneheaded I sing to myself, "I am so smart. I am so smart. S-M-R-T". And when things go well: "Everything's coming up Millhouse!"

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Post Danae Hudlow @danae hudlow Follow 6 I need men to understand: at some point in every conservative gal's life, she will have the experience of sitting and listening to the men around her --men who are her friends -- discuss, in a detached way, whether or not her kind of people (women) should have the right to vote. 9:45 PM Feb 18, 2026494.8K Views

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Absolutely beautiful Steve Sack

One on left is a black dog and above it the words “Reality”. Below it is “I chased a squirrel” One the right is a black dog and above it says “LinkedIn”. Below it says, Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions. Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders. This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement. Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

Still catching up on 2025 #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky

Real flex: The Royal Tenenbaums, The Big Lebowski, and Magnolia. Being a teen in the 90s had its advantages.

Slightly different flex, I saw the Matrix on the day it was released knowing absolutely nothing. Didn't know about bullet time, cyberpunk, batteries, kung fu, none of it. All a surprise. Happiest audience I've ever been in, best filmgoing experience.

I'm just going to say a thing.

What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

Not in touch with anyone from high school and good with that. I wish them all well but I moved 2000 miles away and Im much happier here.

this may draw a lot of mockery On Here but it's true, the u.s. build a mount everest of soft power that it is now in the process of burning to ashes

A version of the Wes Streeting 'I never knew Peter Mandelson well' opinion column. Photo is of my cat. Text reads: Ignore the smears: I was never on the kitchen table, and I am deeply concerned about the cultural moral failing of going on tables. I was only in the kitchen in the 1st place to prevent other cats from jumping on the table. That sound you heard was me doing something else. An additional 'linked' headline reads: Scientists study reappearance of mysterious cat-like wet footprints on surface of table, despite assurances that cat ‘knows it’s naughty’ to go on the table.

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay
