I tried to warn you

Oh well

It was probably a bad sign when our defensive captain quit football to join a cult with two weeks left in the season

The win against OSU last year was a poison pill in that it reinforced the idea that you can just come out and run run pass punt these guys into a stupid win. There’s a coach in this game who looks like he’s got imposter syndrome and it’s not Ryan day

There is no evidence Hillary blew him

Folk horror fall resumes

Folk horror fall resumes

The whole part where she tries to be like "Democratic leadership is bad for LGBTQ people of color... and Joe Biden" has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read in my life lol

I absolutely love his work but at a certain point you have to imagine people will stop agreeing to be interviewed by Choitner right

Now reading:

I feel like for a society based almost completely on rectal cleanliness, it's quite shocking with the Charmin bears have never encountered a bidet

No pressure but if Michigan loses this game I am going to build a Rube Goldberg device to slowly kill me in the most painful way possible

Threads overtaking X is an America B moment

Is there a reason the media largely just ignores this stuff now?

In the same way that peanut butter M&Ms absolutely nuked Reese's Pieces from orbit, I feel like Reese's could absolutely destroy Nutter Butter if they wanted to put out their own sandwich cookie

When is Bluesky getting these accounts

Seems fine tbh

Damn, beaten by UChicago again

You don't hear people say "let's go Brandon" much anymore

This is the biggest thing. Harbaugh still dominates the program, in a very real way it's like his ghost hangs over everything we do. Sherrone will never escape it, classic guy who follows the guy dynamic

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

Going to give this another chance

Again, look at the psychopathy that this truly bizarre account is engaging in. Deranged Australian boomer behavior

Mashallah

I already know what kind of responses I'm going to get for posting this but the cruelest thing about being suspended from Twitter is that they don't let you bookmark posts

I don't know how they managed it but at least through the first episode the new King of the Hill is actually good, like much better than any previous attempt at this sort of revival has been

Airport lounge discourse is entirely downstream of whether or not you think getting absolutely blitzed on booze is an essential or even desirable part of travel... the food is bad, the seating is nothing special. You're really just there for free liquor

Oh no, it turns out I just moved into IL-9

Also, your periodic reminder that like 80% of the time that the Anglo-American right is complaining about Karl Marx, it’s actually complaining about Max Weber.

"Bill Maher is one of the oracles for the Democratic Party" is just a nightmarish sentence good lord

Moving today but my Internet service isn't being transferred until Monday for annoying reasons, how should I keep myself entertained?

Obviously the only people in the coalition who have this kind of vision are DSA types, from the ones who just want to do European style social democracy on up. Like it's very obvious with the Berniecrats and the socialists want, not so much normie staffers

There are a lot of things about which this would be far from the worst observation ever made by Matt but Palestine is probably the stupidest thing to say this about, there's like a whole subset of the American left for whom Palestine has been like their whole thing forever

Seeing a lot of interesting looking ads for a movie called The Bad Guys 2 which is interesting because I have never in my life heard of The Bad Guys 1

My friend started watching Andor and told me that they think they need to read more Star Wars lore to understand it so I asked what particularly they were struggling with and they said "are the robots sentient and if so to what extent and how?" and I had to explain that it is not that kind of sci-fi

The proximate reason I picked this back up was because of the Colbert cancellation and the biggest takeaway on that front is that NBC, having lost the PR battle pretty decisively, cooked their books to claim that Conan was losing money ex post facto. Probably exactly what CBS is doing now

Reddit's AI summary of me from posts that have been shared over there

Closing in on the end of this now and as hard as I think it was for me to accept at the time I think in hindsight the truth is that if Conan had just done what NBC wanted him he would be hosting the Tonight Show at 11:30 right now in 2025

Oh yeah, of course I'm interested in the high school humanities teacher position at "GroRapid Labs"

He’s far from the worst Democratic Senatoe, but I’m increasingly galled by Booker. Giving a long filibuster then voting for Kushner, taking pictures with Gallant in front of a Frederick Douglass portrait, crying over Democrats not standing up for what’s right and then voting for arms to Israel…

Democrats already *have* the moral high ground because they are, even at their absolute worst and if nothing else, the lesser of two evils.

The question of how many seats you should give up to maintain the moral high ground is very easy to answer: zero, this is politics

Also definitely forgot that Sony tried to court Jay Leno for a syndicated show in 2008 by promising to cross promote him on PlayStation

I don't think defenders of Israel understand how different this is and how permanent the damage has become. We are approaching a point where I'm not even sure they will have the clout left to do their usual song and dance trying to hobble a theoretical independent Palestinian state

Thing I definitely forgot about that this book reminded me is that NBC had a 1:30 AM talk show in the 90s that was hosted by Greg Kinnear

Ossoff is a much better candidate from the Senate. We are entering the era of a majority millennial electorate and Booker is still playing to TV audiences that don't exist
