Pop Culture Fix: Last Night’s Sports Games Winners Were The Puppies
+ Even the Puppy Bowl had COVID-induced changes in 2021, but was still THE BEST THING ON TV! There were even six dogs with disabilities this year! The winner of my heart was Xena Warrior Pup, a Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever from Team Ruff!
These guys are really in it to win it! #PuppyBowl pic.twitter.com/53x38fjWPh

I’m sorry, the green M&M and brown M&M are a lesbian couple?! How did I miss that news?
Yeah seconded this, they’re a couple?! Mind blown, definitely going out to buy M&Ms now.
I’m with you. Lesbian M&Ms have apparently been a thing for 6 years, but it’s news to me. O_o
That It Gets Better parody was really funny.
Amber Ruffin NAILED it.
The It Gets Better sketch was hilarious and so accurate.
“I finally stopped getting bullied. By straight people. Then I pretty much immediately started getting tormented by gay people, for…my taste in music? I think is why?”
“It’s scarier when gay people are mean because they’re so organized. I tweeted one vague opinion about Chromatica and I had to move. Not just apartments. Like, cities.”
This is really not that big of an exaggeration !!!!!!!
“meaning that I will now have to acknowledge that The Masked Singer is a real thing that exists.” 😂
I really miss Bill Potts. Doctor Who should bring her back. It’s not fair she only got one season!
