i do think if you talk about people like this you should be put in the evil triangle from the SUPERMAN movies and hurled into space

Yes, please and thank you, Avowed anniversary update. I cannot get into Outer Worlds, but I enjoy Avowed a lot. It understands how to make smaller scale fantasy RPGs feel worth it.

God, the candidness of this interview is *so* refreshing

Remember the moral panic about safetyism? Trigger warnings? Snowflakes? Well, its actually happening in Texas.

A skater coming off the ice and saying “THAT’S WHAT I’M FUCKIN’ TALKIN’ ABOUT!” makes me so happy, given how punishing the ladylike discourse of my youth was when it came to this sport.

Of all the things I have heard said about Tyra Banks, this might be the most devastating? You have to leave a very particular mark on people for them to say THIS about you.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Days Since I Last Cried Because a Stranger Showed Me Basic Decency: 0

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

Finally caught some women’s figure skating (short program) live. I am rooting for whoever is on the ice in front of me. Every last one of these women is a perfect, athletic angel.

We all know it is a fool’s errand befitting someone like Musk to think you can seriously talk about US culture and identity without including Black American culture, but even setting that aside, this still leaves out a comical number of other white, European immigrants.

i often think about this review

This has been so weird to watch. Especially bc Highguard is pretty fun and has only gotten more so since release.

greatest headline of my adult life

I can’t wrap my head around all these American adults (minus Moira) who do not know that Tara Lipensky and Johnny Weir are best friends. I need to understand what sort of things they do know. We must derive joy from very different things. #TheTraitorsUS

That Baylor’s official line is, “Okay, but did you know that Ken is dead now?” really drives home why I feel so little warmth toward my alma mater and former employer.

maybe i'm just being insane but i'm really glad other outlets are finally picking this up. baylorlariat.com/2026/02/11/j...

This is my official stance on the discourse.

It's time, Canada. You'll be greeted as liberators

Employed Me really did Unemployed Me a favor by pre-ordering the Expedition 33 soundtrack on vinyl. We are feeling FRENCH and MELANCHOLY today.

A recurring humiliation for me is I’ll see an ad for a cute top or matching set on Insta, go “🔥hell, yeah🔥,” then realize the proportions look weird bc it is in fact made for a male toddler. It has a pigeon on it! Do 3yo boys appreciate pigeons like I do? Perhaps as much, but certainly not more.

Always good to see a MtG player do well at anything else.

The Champions League final in Germany last year opened with Linkin Park

Candiace is playing a bad game. #TheTraitorsUS

Tara and Johnny are so bad at this game but they know it and I love that for them. #TheTraitorsUS

doing the hardest drug known to man (existing in the present moment)

Going back to every part of the original feel and format is the smartest thing they’ve done with The Muppets in 20 years. It’s not cheap nostalgia; it’s an understanding of what actually made the show special.

Do I know the context? No. Do I agree? Whole-heartedly. I'd even agree to wearing hats with obscenely long hat pins too.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I see the “replace everyone in a film with muppets except one” discourse is circulating again, so I will give my answer (the best one) again: Suspiria (2018), keep Tilda Swinton.

I will post my way to Utopia. for us all

JD Vance looks like yassified Chucky

You know things are bad when your dad calls to make sure you’re okay. Dad. Father. The male parent. My mother is still alive and this happened.

Tonight’s #TheTraitorsUS skeet is that I get the Rob love now. What a mensch.

Lemme tell you: (no spoilers; though bc I follow him, I know the broad strokes) this season of The Traitors is a hard watch as a huge and longtime @ronfunches.bsky.social fan. 😭 I get so mad every season about something, but I can’t like anyone else bc of how dumb they’re being.

I don’t want what’s happening in Minnesota to stop until ICE leaves there and every other community. But I do want people to recognize that there’s a race element here. There’s a reason people are treating the protesters of Minnesota as somehow nobler and more patriotic. More "American."

the texas democratic senate primary is deeply mind numbing because Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico believe basically the same things at their core but they're both rorshach tests for whatever you already believe about Texans and their voting preferences

I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted

Go Fund Me about the young person arrested on Monday in MN along with Lemon and Fort.

do you all have a moment to discuss the Good News of seitan

Then why have I never seen him at a the bimonthly meetings? The annual antifa conference? Does he even pay dues?

I haven’t been that bitter about being laid off, but I just learned that my boss lied about the circumstances of my layoff and he in fact just took my job. He spent years begging me to stay even though I was unhappy. I think I’m going to be a little bit bitter now.

I've been doing a re/watch of Armando Ianucci's oeuvre -- ostensibly in anticipation of his being on Taskmaster, but really, I don't need a reason. I have arrived at the Alan Partridge movie. It's really saying something that this one feels mid in light of his other signature work.

I ❤️ our big, silly language.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.
