gotta save that Autism Announcement banner for any time Paradox releases something

no, Gen V, Frodo was not a chosen one. he is an ordinary hobbit who rises to extraordinary circumstances, the books are pretty clear about this

I am digging the superhero Fight Club idea from Gen V S2. always a fan of "magic school where the kids are ridiculously endangered for some reason" arcs

We treat high fevers in the ICU with Tylenol and we don't make patients "tough it out" because that can be dangerous. Hope this helps.

if I had a nickel for every president who served two non-consecutive terms that had a scandal about sexual impropriety with much younger women, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I mean I'm not in higher ed but if people are turning in bad assignments failing them seems like a fine solution

Ultimately, a work visa is as much a social as an economic contract. You work hard, you pay your taxes, and you abide by the terms such that in return you enjoy many of the benefits of society just short of full enfranchisement. Changing those terms midway through is an act of gross bad faith.

"the civil rights act permanently lost Dems southern whites" is pretty clearly true, but that does not imply it was a mistake. you build political capital to spend political capital.

it's fucking insane how "more immigration" actually is a silver bullet to fix like 69% of the West's problems and people are so dedicatedly xenophobic we're arguing over whether you should pay a $100k bribe to get to work at Amazon or a rural hospital

Tfw Debbie Harry starts rapping

the original zero hedge tweet here seems to be explicitly hostile to the idea that someone could gain something from the US by making concessions to us

this is from an *airline*. whoever ran the Wendy's twitter account must be called before congress

it should be illegal to allow pundits to access social media for the same reason it is illegal to sell cigarettes to children

once again reminding people that Charlie Kirk *was not catholic*

it's cool that he just says it

I have to be honest I don't think the air force procurement office in the 1970s was a bastion of wokeness and DEI. primarily because "wokeness" and "DEI" were not words anyone would use until several decades later.

imagine thinking, in the year of our lord 2025, that Donald Trump is capable of human empathy

you know I was holding out hope that these guys would figure out their politics were the problem but in retrospect "lying" was always the likelier strategy

the problem with queen beds is that they are not actually square but they are close enough to square that I can literally never guess the correct side of the fitted sheet the first time

shows some real bravery throwing a middle-aged woman to the ground

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

I've been a long-time pork chop hater, but I saw a recipe for braised pork chops I thought might fix the problems. having tried it I think this is the best way I've had pork chops but sub-par for red wine braised meat

if someone tries to bribe you and you keep the money and do nothing, is that a crime? is it a mandatory reporting situation?

I think it'd have to be something I hate or a part of me would always be going "yeah the money is nice but I wanted the burrito too"

Post a female character you love

finally had the @ifbookspod.bsky.social listener experience: friends were recommending books and someone suggested Atomic Habits

it's gotta be weird to be the guy too. like, this is not an expose where people leaked internal docs, the guy this ad got served to reported it. he got profiled *as a pedophile* by the instagram algorithm

something to note is that the reason this is possible is the perpetual limbo our immigration system keeps people in. the solution to this is not just limiting the power of the presidency, it is making it easier for people to become fully citizens, with all the protections that entails

he a little confused, but he got the spirit

I might be doing too much critical theory here but "the state has a self-defense interest in interdicting drugs" is a pretty fascist bit of logic. the state should not be using violence to enforce the health of the body politic. using violence in that way takes you ugly places very quickly.

fun headline to read like a day after we learned there are absolutely no consequences for sleeping with a source

really feel for all my coworkers who will not be able to visit their families and come home until this stops

can't believe we made this guy president twice

was there some Uber driver serial killer or something I'm not aware of? I keep getting Uber ads for the various features they've added to stop your driver from killing you, a problem I have never really thought about before seeing them

a related thing I've wondered: suppose you're a hedge fund guy. you think the cartels are about to have a banner year. what do you invest in to drive returns off that?

that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks

similar to "due process" it's not clear to me how these people think "amendments" work

when I was a kid everyone told me journalism was about "speaking truth to power" and "tirelessly investigating the facts". if they'd said it was about never getting punished for your fuckups I would've been a lot more interested!

now obviously the main problem here is what he is suggesting should happen to women but you should also be offended as a man by the suggestion this is something you'd want to do

I do actually believe Trump and I have different understandings of what that word means

Mississippi you have completely failed to shock a nation

unpopular take, but complaints from the left about how Dems being anti-palestine enabled this are the same as takes from the center about "cancel culture" enabled this. the GOP is doing this because they wanted to, not because of what someone else did.

Trump believes that the United States is his personal property
