Oh Cugel you rascal, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time

It just struck me that newspaper comic strips were sort of proto-posting: you come up with a joke every single day and eventually you either mellow out or become completely insane

Gonna run this into the ground over the next couple days and also during the World Baseball Classic

an AR-15 costs less than two sticks of RAM. this is a market economy establishing an incentive structure

i'd rather get the electric chair than have to listen to these two speak

he was sitting in his office in a very dignified manner congratulating himself on how restrained he was being. "they'll remember me for my honorable conduct," he said, sipping some tea

THE JOKER (in his capacity as a podcast host): You agree Bats has completely lost it? GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM: I thi--this is THE JOKER: It's a simple question. Do you think Birdbrain is the real menace facing Gotham. NEWSOM: So, this is interesting. It's interesting. You may have something there,

Cities SHOULD own the teams! Nationalize MLB just to test drive it a little

“Journalism is better when it’s backed by live markets” maybe the least true statement ever made in the history of homo sapien communications

I get GRRM has his own priorities when it comes to adaptation but I wish he hadn't poisoned the well with that one post about House of the Dragon. Season 2 was just as good as Season 1, imo.

I could look past some of the other side projects and obviously D&E is its own thing at this point, but the Tourney of Harrenhal is such a skeleton key to ASOIAF that releasing it separately and not unspooled thru the next two novels is as cynical as I’ve been about him finishing the saga

using the first meeting of my "board of peace" to tease my latest upcoming war

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

They saw France bust down the doors of X for being pedophiles and immediately started developing the national sex crime VPN.

of COURSE there's a technology the left is excited about

MLBPA subcommittee member Chris Bassitt on the salary cap debate that may be a central figure in the upcoming CBA discussions: "The salary cap is not the issue. Having suppressed salaries across the league so owners can make more money is not the answer."

line of duty injury -- smart!!

things woud go fucking crazy if me and an open minded woman got up to some bisexual Shit

the problem here is Jack Posobiec has read the books, he was AngryGOTFan on Twitter before he went full right-wing grifter and infamously had reactionary meltdowns about the OG show to the point he was posting leaks all over the internet

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

this & other comments i've seen about how bluesky needs to "improve its algorithm" suggest a lot of people have grown to like a totally passive social media experience where a computer pushes an endless stream of content tailored to what it thinks they would like while they clap like seals

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

propaganda works. I suspect it probably works better on people who think they're immune to it

found a god-tier panel in a history of hyrule promo zine

every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

Real talk though, Ray Wise is fucking incredible in Twin Peaks

How delete posts

Twin Peaks 0207 time 🙂

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Yeah, so about your claim that The Argument wouldn't be running anti-trans pieces @jerusalem.bsky.social... I knew it.

this is why hominids invented thought

He had a joke in his stump speeches about how, if he were to walk on water, the headlines the next day would read “Jesse Jackson Can’t Swim”

GRRM understands the golden ratio of naming characters is like 74% names like “Rhaella Targaryen” and 26% “Hot Pie.”

nyt making sure there's at least one lunatic in there as always

I just logged on after a three day weekend, gimme some time man

“Jackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive” Remember this history as we remember this man.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Oh, not AGAIN!

Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan on the same team is like if you dropped Messi into the 2002 Brazil team

tonight, on top gear

I used to use detectors before realizing they are also basically LLMs and hallucinate answers just like any other LLM
