Me, silly: YEAHHHHH BOYYYYYY My 3 year old son, serious: Noooo, man!!!

Djinni, fresh out of the lamp: I WILL GRANT YOU THREE WISHES. THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE -- Me: I wish that nobody would ever post about Will Stancil or his opinions ever again. Djinni: Uh. Ok. Well, there's a lotta ways I could take that, you don't wanna workshop the wording at all? Me: just do it

hmm maybe you should impose term limits on them then

The Free Press is discovering new levels of Telling On Yourself that scientists previously thought could not exist

WTF? www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

conservatives like to pretend that history never happened and everything about the status quo is just the way things naturally end up. most liberals recognize this is stupid. this notion that we can just defeat Trump in the next election and pretend none of this ever happened sounds just as stupid.

"As far as I can tell the proliferation of the technology mainly benefits the people making money off of it" 🎯

ah yes but you see, politicians can never fail to lead voters, the voters can only fail to be good enough to motivate the politicians to do the right thing

No grave humping? Fennell is losing her edge.

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

i don't like "steelmanning" but i do want to say that the discussion around "we have to vote all the time to keep out fascism" has never really addressed the core of the issue, which is that it gets tiring for every election to be "the most important election of our lifetimes."

If Democrats want to elect somebody that is pro-genocide, or somebody that pals around with Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk, they can do it without my help. All my life Democrats have been claiming that they can't go too far left lest they alienate moderates. That works in the other direction, too.

If a teacher posted "I don't think my non-white students are actually people" would we be having a conversation about this?

I don't think these are unreasonable asks

if an adult plays the trombone in the peanuts universe it sounds like words

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

some past “multicultural economic zones” you may recall include the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the British Empire. while all of these had significant problems “no one will die to defend them” was memorably not among them

I actually think it’s a good thing to not preemptively swear you’ll vote for Gavin Newsome before he’s the candidate

Stories like this make me realize that I believe in carrying out certain kinds of punishment in certain circumstances that once in my life I probably would have said were beyond contemplation

anybody writing about how AI might be "alive" or "conscious" or whatever should be required to first pass some kind of exam demonstrating understanding of the Chinese Room thought experiment

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

1. She embraced politicians and policies nobody in the present version of the US actually likes 2. She's just not a very good candidate -- didn't have the juice in 2020 and 2024 was no different

There was no happy ending for Patriots' owner Robert Kraft today.

They are sacrificing Pat Patriot in the Wicker Man rn

Will Campbell sucks. Vrabel is too conservative. Maye is overrated. They were very lucky to make it this far. Good for Darnold. Seattle D is awesome. Fun season overall. Hoping that next year we can see a big Maye performance in a big game.

Hate to say it but the Maye love has been premature. He's super talented, might be great someday. Has a lot of rough edges to round out.

I will choose to remember that Boutte catch against Houston as the defining play of this season and forget everything that happened since that game.

Rams really messed this up lol. Patriots are getting mogged. Congrats to the Hawks. Give the entire defense the Super Bowl MVP.

This game sucks. Bummer way to cap a surprisingly good season. Drake Maye will have a big playoff game someday. Darnold is a great story. ✌️

Super obvious that the Patriots were extremely lucky to win in Denver. If Nix had been healthy the Pats would be home now. Too many rookies on the OL and the young QB is shaky on this stage against this pressure. The Houston win was cool. That was the signature victory for this group. Good season

I know it would be bad roster management to cut the rookie LT after one season based on a terrible SB, but as a Pats fan I don't know if I can watch Will Campbell again after today

Very frustrating in the moment to see the Patriots in the Super Bowl but literally unable to put together a single drive. But I can't pretend I didn't know this team was flawed. Oh well

This is gonna end 12-6 or something like that isn't it

Can we cancel this game and have the Cowboys play the Rams instead? I'd rather watch a couple teams that can actually run offense

So far I'm more excited when Darnold throws against the Pats defense than I am when Drake Maye has the ball

Gonna be a long game, I think

I knew we'd get the "Will Campbell is too much of a liability at LT" game eventually. Didn't think it'd be the Super Bowl

I won't bother trying to make a pick for the Super Bowl because I've been wrong this entire season when it comes to the Patriots. Honestly I've got no idea what's about to happen.

I'm a Patriots fan and I have to say if the Seahawks are going to win at least make it a track meet. 41-38.

I have no idea how a guy like Jamelle, who no doubt receives thousands of emails daily, finds the time and willpower to read any of these messages from readers

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

The fun thing about being a parent is you are given great reasons to do this stuff almost every day just to entertain yourself & your kid, and your kid doesn't know that you aren't the most talented performer in the world other than the people in Ms Rachel videos

Honestly if you've ever had to use a step stool to reach something in the kitchen, even on top of the cabinets, you're short. It's just science.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

If the league did not allow mid-lottery pick protection and apportioned lottery odds by tombstone wins, how many additional games would the NBA get out of star players who will be on bad teams after today? This CBA paired with the current lottery system is a massive waste of the NBA's talent.
