I wanna briefly talk about how perry the teenage girl puts on her hat on top of her hair instead of her head.
I love that Doof assumes anyone wearing a fedora is Perry the platypus lmao
My favourite theory of doof is that he’s faceblind and relies on style to identify people

So, I have seen a few references lately to conservative culture warriors being mad about Mr. Potato Head, and the first couple of times, I assumed it was a joke, but this post was the one that made me actually look it up.
For others who are as uniformed as I was a few minutes ago, apparently Hasbro has made two changes to the brand:
1. The general branding for the toy is now the gender-neutral “Potato Head,” with “Mr.” or “Mrs.” specified when relevant. Formerly, “Mr.” was situated as the default Potato Head, “Mrs.” marked as the special case.
2. They are also marketing a “Potato Family” set, which includes two adult potatoes of unspecified gender, and one child potato, also of unspecified gender, and 42 assorted facial features and accessories. Advertising images make evident that there are sufficient pieces that a child playing with the set could choose to construct two male-coded or two female-coded potato adults.
Obviously, these changes render Potato Head toys unsuitable for God-fearing households, as any child who plays with one will instantly become immune to traditional gender role indoctrination.
(Why this has only become a problem now, despite the fact that there was literally nothing stopping you from putting Mr.’s moustache and Mrs.’s lipstick-lips and earrings on the same potato before, is not explained.)
TL;DR Conservatives are sad that a toy company isn’t assigning a gender to a potato.

But “I’m going to the kitchen, can I get you anything?” is a very good joke when somebody on another continent says it!

Friendly Neighborhood Reminder that J. Jonah Jameson hates superheroes because his foster father was a US Army Veteran, who was decorated as a hero, but also regularly abused both J.J. and his mother. That convinced Jameson that “No one’s a hero every day of the week.”
Honestly, J. Jonah Jameson is only wrong within the context of the fiction that we’re reading. We, the audience, know that Spider-Man is a hero, and that we can trust him to do the right thing pretty much all the time. That’s one of the fundamental principles of the story, so it makes sense for JJ’s attitudes to be something we Disagree With as readers, because we know he’s Wrong.
But from his perspective, without the extra context we have, he’s 100% in the right to be distrustful of a masked person enforcing vigilante justice with extrajudicial violence. He’s the Lone Voice of Reason asking “Who is responsible for the damage this person causes, what oversight do we have over how they engage in violence, what recourse do we have if these powerful people decide something is Justice that we the people don’t agree with”
the funniest and most self aware thing the right has ever done is say that if you educate yourself you'll be a leftist
