Art Thief Leaves Behind Tacky Jeff Koons Piece

<calling the room to attention> “It clear as an institution we have lost our way. Which is why all current field manuals are now removed from the curricula. Forthwith all staff officers will be required to learn my art of war. This is the only text they require.”

Depluralise a film: Dial M for Crow

SSD and LFG always trip me up. Their meanings are hard wired.

This IGN piece is late. I don’t think its overall point is bad, but its perspective is trailing about 2-3 years behind the facts. Best understood as a situation and a trend *hitting home* with a type of consumer that tends to be pretty satisfied with their options. www.ign.com/articles/opi...

"So I mean, I helped them secure the exfil, they knew I was friendly, and they shot me anyway. I didn't lose any good loot but, I don't know, I just feel like kindness and grace is for suckers. Does that make sense?" POPE LEO: And this isn't a race? You're competing in a video game marathon?

<Posting a picture of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory> We used to *spend time* with each other at work.

Rook runs in Marathon feel like if The Grinch was a video game.

Tallahassee wins this in a walk good God.

The impossibility of sleeping when your pet’s butt is too close to the edge of the bed and she keeps nearly sliding off but refuses to move

You got NYT going to press with “North American Treaty Organization“ in a headline and as the PREMISE for the entire article. WSJ thinking asymmetric warfare is when ground fire hits a plane. These people. Don’t know. About anything.

ok but shooting down airplanes with surface to air missiles and IR sensors isn't asymmetric anything

The Fireteam is forming up as Shotcaller Cado inducts Washed Rob to the world of Marathon. twitch.tv/remapradio | www.youtube.com/live/wHkFHk-...

DAVID BYRNE: Water dissolving! Water removing! ME: Oh yeah? DAVID BYRNE: There is water at the bottom of the ocean 🙂 ME: That’s so cool buddy. Did you learn that at school today? DAVID BYRNE: Remove the water 😡 carry the water 😡 ME: Hm how about we carry some juice in your sippy cup bud?

May no one ever love you the way Franco Colapinto’s fans love him. They are going to get this kid fired. www.reuters.com/sports/formu...

Sometimes you see car headlights sweeping through the trees casting a distant, shifting glow past the edge of your street and you realize: the time has come once again to watch The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Just a quick question because I have seen video clips from that Trump presser a bunch... Is that lectern with the gold eagle serving as a book / document stand new?

...Bruce found a basement under his villa in which the equipments turned him into another person: Spiderman

I think this is true but reflects a major issue with immaturity in US foreign policy. Iran HAD to ensure Iraq was a nightmare for the US. Iran had initially been friendly wrt Afghanistan. But having a US led coalition set up a puppet state next door was obviously a threat they’d need to counter.

Watched this whole thing thinking, “I better not be a fuckin’ jack.” But now instead of feigning delight I experience it truly.

If i were laying out my utopia, one principle would be that low-stakes or hard-to-detect yet massively anti-social behavior gets brutally penalized. Someone doing this?On losing the case should be open to severe penalties and liabilities and automatically set to undergo a field audit.

<turning on the TV> C’mon, Praetorians, where ARE you?

I do need a wagon

Saw a sick Arma video featuring a tank under fire. Ended up watching 20 minutes of the Waypoint Hell Let Loose Tank Adventure to remind myself when I once felt like one of a happy few.

FANCY SURNAME PRONUNCIATION GUIDE: St Clair = "Sinclair" St John = "Sinjin" St James ="Slimjim"

The military has enjoyed just about the greatest and most durable confidence of any institutions in the US but I am not sure I see its credibility surviving Trump 2.

Fun fact, most catholics get yelled at by the pope exactly zero times in their whole lives but Censures Georg here has managed it like five times in six years

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

your order has shipped

look, we've all been thinking it: we need a Midwest "Knives Out" movie

After years away I have returned to writing about video games with a piece for Remap about the less immediately obvious problems with DLSS 5

Cities do not really have democratic control over their own police departments and Dem politicians nervously pretend like they don’t notice this.

Was hearing lots of “Whooooo!” sounds outside. MK spotted this just outside her office. ENHANCE

mom suffered hemorrhagic shock after major internal bleeding and is now in sub-intensive care, but doctors are having a hard time treating the clot in her heart with the ongoing risk of internal bleeding. still no word on discharge. any shares appreciated ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

David Mamet writing a sweet little comedy with Shel Silverstein right after House of Games is so weird. Also weird that Things Change feels at once like quintessential Mamet and something totally alien. Even Mantegna channels screwball Cary Grant at times, a gear i didn’t know he possessed.

You can’t do vintage racing games and remove the tire, tobacco, and oil company ads. If you HAVE to do this, for legal reasons or whatever, Art of Rally showed the way with lovingly detailed, aesthetically correct advertising for fictional companies obviously standing-in for Marlboro, Gulf Oil, etc.

I think this is where our John Company effort was doomed. Cado did win the game but basically because she is only one who had a positive point after the game imploded across a single turn. And it’s because she wasn’t locked-in. She was doing this.

Online user reviews: “a middle-man scam made to steal your info,” “useless enshitification of USPS,” and “one of the worst experiences I have come across. It’s straight up predatory.” Check.

Welp crashed and burned hilariously as a group playing John Company. What a game. I’m in love.

My politics could increasingly be described as: "I'm going to find what Republicans love the most and kill it. Don't matter what it is. It's dead."

Busy World’s Final Destination

"You’ve been in here 23 minutes, but all I see is the cursor blinking next to the title. Do you not like the title? I’ve been going back and forth about whether The Horse That Galloped Away with My Heart is too on the nose for a story about a horse transporting a human heart."

Someone is telling Democrats from the Great Lakes to say shit like, “We’re a border state” like it proves they understand how important border security is and it just makes them sound utterly full of shit. Acting like the Windsor Crossing is fucking Sicario. Grow up.

God imagine taking this out to fight smugglers with your brother Joe, coming back after a night of fisticuffs to find your dad Fenton waiting disapprovingly on the pier, and being let off with a stern talking to before you get burgers and shakes with your best girl Callie.

Me, watching people respond to Chris’s turbolibs post.

"It's very simple, Mr. Zacny. You can keep these lexica, books of Latin poetry, and Thucydides in the original Greek if you can give me the full declensions of three noun forms in either language. Or you can throw them out. Or I can shoot you right now."

Spent a bit of yesterday doing room correction and looking at frequency response curves and few things drive home how flawed “objective” metrics are like looking back at old data and seeing that the worst speaker I ever owned consistently posted near-ideal test results.
