the heights they give for pokemon are so weird. what do you mean regirock is 5'7". the average American man is taller than regirock

I am once again telling people to learn to cook. it's easy, it's cheap, it's fun, and you get tasty food

I genuinely struggle to describe the revulsion I feel for the "tradwife" phenomenon. it is offensive to a woman to expect her to live this way and offensive to me to suggest that I would prefer it

I like to imagine that Sauer is making all these arguments in comically ill-fitting shoes

introducing the Costco Bunny Diet: you eat one of these every two weeks and nothing else, which nets out to a caloric deficit that should lose a pound a week

"thank you kid Rock" this man is the secretary of defense. what is he doing tweeting at kid Rock about military discipline

very funny impact of AI is that the stereotypical programmer got in to the field because they hated writing essays and now your primary job is going to be writing an essay that explains what the robot should do

Fucking sucks that with everything going on it’s hard to get excited about the Artemis mission. One of the shitty things about the regime is that a lot of symbolic patriotism stuff has their stink on it because they could have less interest in unifying symbols.

Messages - of varying types and conditions - need to go to: Canada Denmark El Salvador Ecuador Equatorial Guinea Israel Russia Venezuela Make it clear.

might have to replace some of the liberals too

the amount programmers think about whitespace is like four orders of magnitude more than anyone but maybe copy editors

it's so bizarre how these people imagine a future that's like The Culture except that they, personally, are still rich

I was going to try to game out what this might actually mean but then I realized I was making the mistake of assuming words Trump uses correspond to facts about the world

is it good to breed hostility between the paramilitary loyal to the leader and the conventional armed forces? asking for a regime

one thing that's very funny in the (mostly bad) post-trilogy Pirates movies is when the East India Company, which literally employs a crew of ghost pirates in the third movie, dismisses the idea of ghost pirates as absurd

save me Woke Business Plot. save me

huh I guess the people insisting the movie about all the world's governments coming together to solve a global ecological crisis wasn't a metaphor for climate change were right

the idea that we should be governed entirely on the whim of the marginal voter is the most insane of MattY's beliefs. the fact that Peltola would command as much influence as Padilla currently does is *already* an enormous concession to Alaska

how do conservatives keep making me offended by them doing heresy against religions I'm not even part of

the fact that the 47th US president is fighting the 47-year old Iranian regime is kinda cute

the weirdest thing about Lindy West discourse for me has been that prior to this I did not know Lindy West existed

I'm sorry but on some level if you pay a thousand dollars for a round trip from Philadelphia to Wilmington, that's on you. you could just book an Uber

showing this to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and instantly killing him

anyone seen Ready or Not 2? just realized it's already out and wondering if it's actually good

I would say this isn't a good look for the Bradens of the world but frankly it's about what I expect

man the back button's function on this site is just completely enigmatic

it's important to remember that we're bombing Iran because they're a destabilizing force in the region that is aggressive towards their neighbors and engages in human rights violations

I would like to formally offer Iran our surrender. just write down the cabinet members you want and we'll handle the rest

the recipe calls these "brown sugar cookies" but it might be more accurate to call them "butterscotch cookies" (though otoh maybe I needed to brown the butter to get all the way to that). pretty straightforward but still quite good.

they’ve had inductive loops for bicycles to actuate traffic signals for like two decades now what’s next, are we going to deny the existence of disc brakes

fun fact: modern "smart" stoplights use triggers that do not actually detect bikes and literally will not turn for a biker that does not have a car behind them trying to go the same direction

something I find particularly frustrating about "you just need to listen to Trump voters" is that generally speaking if someone makes stupid decisions and you don't *they* would benefit from listening to *you*

it's so cool that I live in one of the most productive parts of the country and *my own party* dunks on me for it

now on the one hand this is incredibly dumb. but on the other hand lenin *did* end up winning

now, this will cause higher oil prices for american consumers, kill large numbers of iranian civilians and american troops, and not accomplish any lasting change. but it's important to remember that it will cause energy shortages across asian that endanger the lives of the global poor as well.

And formally, according to our law, Depose him

this is just an insanely racist thing to say

just to be clear: Imane Khelif is *biologically* a woman. she's not a trans woman, the entire intellectual edifice of terfism is a completely capricious attempt to define anyone they don't like out of being a woman

rip freedom of navigation

sick of hearing about the "bear market". when will wall street do something for twinks?

I don't understand where we go as a country when one party does not care about "the law" as a concept

Walz/Harris would be very funny

fellas, you're going to have to learn to cook and keep house if you want to get married

this is not going to be as obvious as the economy or foreign wars when Dems take office in 2029, but it is a massive problem in the long run

oil may be destroying the environment, but it's important to remember that it's also driving conflicts and propping up some of the worst regimes in human history

odd lots gotta be the record holder for the most effectively targeted advertising in the history of podcasts. I would know exactly who the target audience was without even listening to the show

this man's brain must have a frictionless surface

Donald Trump murdered this man.

the opposite of a daycare is a nightharm, where adults take themselves after work to scale furniture at significant physical risk. in some regional dialects this is referred to as a "climbing gym"
