Ken and I both feel old watching three #Jeopardy contestants not remembering "Remote Control". I watched that show *every day* I could. Also "Idiot Savants". MTV conceived some really fun game shows.

So considering he reposted that AI medbed thing last night there's a nonzero chance his own advisors have been showing him AI Fox News clips in the oval office and he thinks they're real

We are led by a man so divorced from reality that facts literally confuse him.

The Founding Fathers could not have imagined such fundamental corruption on such a ubiquitous scale. The Constitution simply cannot handle this many bad-faith actors in this many positions of power.

Then: Sic semper tyrannis Now: Sick, simpering tyrants

Poker player goes all-in on #Jeopardy and puts the game out of reach. Familiar story? Maybe. Sorry, though, James; this one's cuter.

NO WAY LOLOLOLOLOL #LearnedLeague #LL106

Captain Underpants on #Jeopardy. Never thought I'd see it.

I've been listening to Ari Shapiro on NPR for ages but had no idea what he looked like until now. 🤷 #Jeopardy

London be like: Fog, is this true?

Yeah this seems like a good idea, except that literally every ad that plays during Jeopardy right now in our area is either a disgusting litany of slander by one political candidate against another, or a bastardized pop classic singing the praises of a new prescription drug.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Two match days to go. This is going to come down to *a lot* of blind luck and tiebreakers. #LearnedLeague #LL106

Can someone please stop the "co-hosted a comedy show" to "personally targeted for revenge or violence by the President of the United States" pipeline. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Doesn't Louis work as a writer with Jimmy Ki— ohhhhhhhh I see what you did there.

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Why does it feel like the true end goal of all this is to create a state in which one specific guy really could carry out public executions in Times Square and get away with it?

The party that decried "cancel culture" and made "f— your feelings" a slogan has now literally canceled two comedians this year for hurting their feelings. Cool. Great. We are so screwed.

With four match days left in #LL106, I am two places deep — but only 2 points — into relegation. If I'm extremely lucky, I could play my way back into an unfathomable *third season* in the B rundle. And yesterday, again, someone who could have dunked me happened to forfeit instead. 🤷 #LearnedLeague

Pardon the #FFXIV post on main, but I had a dream last night that laid out an in-game plot that would make a fantastic #TTRPG campaign (or, frankly, actual expansion) for it, so I'm just going to run with it. Especially since most of my original idea ended up being clobbered by #Dawntrail. 😅🤷

Endless Summer of Love, Actually

It's true. The best contestants are the ones who remember they're playing a fun game and have fun at it. As a good, specific example, I can recommend Season 34, Episode 13. Why? Oh, no reason.

something something stroke of good luck 🙏

Stopped the bleeding of a 6-game losing streak with a 6(4)-2(3) win yesterday. Still in relegation. The struggle is real. #LearnedLeague #LL106

Seeing all the news and pictures and videos, I realized that I didn't even know what Charlie Kirk looked like. I was vaguely aware of the name and its association with hateful behavior and just... ignored his existence? Murder is wrong, obviously. But that he was someone who espoused it? Welp... 🤷

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."

hey guys have you ever miscounted how many mugs of coffee you've had in a day and juiced yourself up so bad that you felt like you were having a full-on panic attack no you've never done that huh that's weird it's a weird day i feel weird do you feel weird maybe i'll like down nope couch is spinning

Another morning, another heavy sigh as the progressive will of the entire human race continues to be dragged backward by the nonsensical actions of a handful of elderly, narcissistic sociopaths.

I'm gonna level with you guys... ... ... I don't think I'm gonna stay in B rundle next season. 🤕 #LearnedLeague #LL106

Ken could work out with Buzzy if he wants to get good at weightlifting. #Jeopardy

Jonathan Hugendubler looks distractingly like Michael Shanks. Rooting for @ianm5280.bsky.social tonight! #Jeopardy

Anybody can get booed. But it's a special kind of scumbag who can creep out his own granddaughter so much that she refuses, on international television, to sit next to him.

I'm so old, I remember when this behavior would instantly end your political career.

BlueSky finally supports this now, so, I shall repeat the post that is pinned to my Twitter profile: Credits and thanks to Jeb H for the best GIF ever. #Jeopardy #NIN

WHY IS THE SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES POSTING AN AI GENERATED PICTURE OF HIMSELF WEARING A CONFEDERATE OFFICER'S HAT WHAT THE ACTUAL FOXTROT UNIFORM CHARLIE KILO

Every one of these seems too obvious to require being stated aloud, but here we are.

This continues to be more intensely true every day that we suffer the ignominy of our national situation.

For some reason I was reminded of the bizarre trivia that almost 21% of the girls in my HS graduating class had names containing either Emily or Elizabeth (and 13% were called by that name). Imagine walking into a room and shouting a random name and having a 1-in-7 chance of someone responding.

You could replace the entire executive branch with the worst 11-year-olds you can remember from middle school, and change essentially nothing.

Can someone post the announcement when it finally happens? I just... I just can't watch. I don't want to punch my TV.

Imagining a sternly frowning Zack de la Rocha, leaning into the microphone as he glares up into the slack-jawed faces of a Senate subcommittee and growls, "Make your move and use the 25th, since you won't use Article I." #RAtM

paging @j-jordan-poet.bsky.social et al

Agree with every word

Drumpf is the guy in the back of the theater loudly clapping and cheering for Thenardier. #LesMiserables

Listen, you guys, if I get one more of these dang things, I'm going to assume an eligibility reset and start taking the test again. 😆 @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social #Jeopardy

Legitimately* batting .500 in a B rundle? Chat, we've made it. * OK there was that one forfeit win but still #LearnedLeague #LL106

We call them sycophants because you'd think that having their lips planted so firmly on someone else's naked asshole would make them sick. (not really)

Even more than not going all-in on that Daily Double, I regret not asking Alex for a silly picture together. #Jeopardy

Lest we forget, this is *after* Türkiye was forced to redeclare their currency to remove several significant digits.
