if a true sigma chad came in and shot granny free throws because it fixed his glaring weakness and helped the team, it would occasion a sea change in the way the game is played. and people say space is the final frontier

imagine being married to an online journalist and the day after you forget to get them something for their birthday it's like "I wrote about the loss of celebrations, public and private, and what it means for an increasingly polarized, atomized America"

"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

Fingers crossed that this season of X-Men '97 adapts my favorite story from the comics (the Church of Humanity trying to make Nightcrawler pope and then using exploding communion wafers to simulate the Rapture, a non-Catholic theological concept).

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

a lot of writers and podcasters need to learn that they are not entitled to freely adapt any book they take a liking to. do you want to tell an existing story in a new medium? cool. talk to the author. collaborate with them if they want. license it if they're interested. or start from scratch.

much our country, including our elites, live in a farcical anti-reality where Trump's was running on "secure the border, throw out the criminals" and Biden was running on "open borders." In reality Trump actually supported "mass ethnic cleansing" and Biden ran on "secure the border"

"It's just sports," "It will only affect a few people," & "It'll also be used against cis women" are, IMHO, all equally not-great takes on today's SCOTUS ruling, just different angles. The Supreme Court ruled it's okay to discriminate against a certain class of people. Full stop. That is a horror.

Describing "vote blue no matter who" strategies as a form of "harm reduction" is clearly a misuse of the term, but I'd be willing to overlook it if it didn't so frequently involve supporting politicians who oppose literal harm reduction policies.

I didn't know the difference between a rent freeze on 1-year leases and a 3% increase could cause the citywide collapse of all NYC building maintenance! It didn't happen in 2015, 2016, or 2020, when rents on 1-year NYC leases were also frozen. Maybe it only happens if you yell "Socialism!" 3 times.
