Live look into the Grok developers adjusting the "Opinion of Elon Musk" settings.

I love my bookstore, but they didn't realize that today was release day for the new edition of @merriam-webster.com so I had to order it. Happy Birthday 12th edition (also, me).

Finally getting around to watching the "Dirtier Cut" of 🎥Dirty Work🎥 after purchasing it ($50?) and an HDDVD player ($120? used XBOne) all for one nostalgic classic.

@thenutmegnews.com "Local defender of MLS Calendar switch trading in Tesla for Diesel Truck as a compromise to make Winter games have better soccer weather."

SNL this week was excellent. It really made me feel better about watching Glen Powell movies (basically means I'm going to watch Running Man)

The Guardian shares quite a bit of Australia news and at first glance, I assumed that this was more their flavor. Pretty sure the Aussies wouldn't have arrested anyone for this; just gave them the boot.

I have reached my 18th Reddit Cakeday. I still use old.reddit.com for everything. I use the web interface on mobile. But the most disappointing thing...they stopped updating the club badge after 15.

Midwesterners posting on Facebook about Mamdani should trigger an automatic audit of what you'd be missing if you stopped following that person.

@actualbenfolds.bsky.social wearing a Snoopy shirt so I got my hopes up I'd hear one of your Charlie Brown songs in Marian...alas

@chewywalrus.bsky.social This is the only way I want you to refer to the next Marvel movies.

As someone that grew up White Evangelical Weekly+, it's nice to see that my feelings of piety over people that didn't come on Wednesday nights were justified. www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/more-than-...

I would specify that *Radio* country music sucks.

I'm caught in the middle of the Disney vs. YouTube fight but what the hell is #mizzou doing?

all of this is also true for sexism. you tell me you think women are biologically less smart and i’ll suspect that i could probably convince you to drink your own piss

Despite what this headline says, the outbreak was much broader than liverwurst. There are not that many people eating liverwurst: www.stltoday.com/news/local/b...

One presenter invites the dude to explain, the other is desperate for the dude not to say something racist.

Is the answer "nothing" because I would like to erase all knowledge of a FIFA Peace Prize from my brain.

I love telling my friends at work about what Christian Scientists have as official doctrine.

'Tis the season.

Hope you're ready for #NoNutNovember. So many people are going to be without peanut butter this month.

If you have a take on Platner (a word that I have muted), you better have "Proud Mainer" in your profile. Otherwise, just sit this take out.

Youngest Cusserling: I was PJ Masks Every Boomer: You went to TJ Maxx, how fun!

I hope some Canadians stick around to boo the commissioner. It is every fans duty to boo the commissioners (and most owners). YOU HEAR THAT OKLAHOMA CITY!

Repeat championships are lame.

LL Cool J on these Jeep commercials has "Accidental Racist" level of sellout vibes.

Gotta be a record for most bespectacled at-bats in a World Series, right?

A night for watching 🎥Ernest Scared Stupid🎥 which features the youngest alien's girlfriend from 📺3rd Rock from the Sun📺

Diwali celebration at work: Fun! Delicious! Pooping after the Diwali celebration at work: Spicy! #poop

To be fair, the way that brown people use the terms "aunt/auntie", "uncle", and "cousin" is superior in just about every way to how white people use them.

Currently at an ironically named "Corner Pub" in an exurb that no one can walk to.

Just a reminder to confirm/adjust your priors:

Looks like I'm going to a church on Saturday. Better get my foil socks ready.

I regret to inform you that the taco stand at the Granite City pumpkin patch is run by white people. #stl

#Mizzou beating the Christofascist coach feels a little less sweet after the coach jesus-jaculates all over his post-game interview.

Hartel appears to have a case of the yips tonight. #ALLforCITY

Nothing like a downtown stadium and ambulance and police sirens being as loud as the drum corps. #ALLforCITY

3 diacritical marks in the starters. W-D-L is 2-2-4 for this year; 12-6-16 in club history

Yeah, but who is playing Northwestern?

As much as Extroverts annoy me in everyday life. I'm really glad they exist for days like this so there can still be a big showing today and I get to stay home.

I am not going to the #nokings protest, but if I did, my sign would be "St. Helens has a nice 9-hole golf course" which will be a joke for (generously) 6-7 people.

Oh, crud, I forgot to pitch tomorrow's How To Read This Chart newsletter, which lands at 10 a.m. Gang, look, I tend to be hyperbolic a lot on here, but this is really good stuff and all for free. Sign up and get it in your inbox, OK? If only for the URL. howtoreadthisch.art

I just saw someone say "I would never give Scalzi money, personally" and I was about to inquire when I didn't. Knowing why someone doesn't like Scalzi (especially on a forum with a lot LIbErTy people) is probably cursed knowledge. Remember Curiousinauts, you can have limits to things you know!

Lots of recycling is bunk or not yet sustainable but failing to recycle aluminum should have criminal fines attached to it. (Or at least public shame)

@chewywalrus.bsky.social going to be a few years before you get to this is material for one of your eventual last episodes

Tuned in to #USMNT just in time to hear quotes about the Skipper slobbing the lEaDeRsHiP knob of the Chick-fil-A CEO.

Superhero Nepo Babies are lame but Cable is the only good one. (And XMan wasn't bad either)
