Either you can name a single character name from the Avatar franchise or you can’t. That seems to be the dividing line.

Relatable.

In the craziest celebrity interview this year, Underworld star Kate Beckinsale says her daughter's boyfriend has laid two eggs. https://bit.ly/3K5LLdb

This is a classic Trump brain fart. They wrote him a joke about the “MAHA” turkeys being raised on a diet of “grass and beef tallow smoothies” but his brain saw the word “tallow” and could not compute it. Figured it was a typo so he improvised. The POTUS is a fuckin’ moron who knows about 20 words.

When you put the internet down for 30 mins on a Saturday afternoon and come back to Epstein’s magician.

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

"kids"!!

The month before the election:

Circle K has what can only be described as “Saints Row Food”

Every time I come across this photo it completely stops me in my tracks. Crude oil supertanker Esso Hibernia under construction at Swan Hunter shipyard, Wallsend, during 1970. The scale and spectacle of this thing is incomprehensible. (📸 Harriet Berney)

What a burden to be old enough to know who Dean Cain is

The Seattle Mariners put a "reserved" sign on a seat wayyy up in the 300 level on the right field side for the Hall of Fame voter who didn't vote for Ichiro🤣 #TridentsUp #SeattleMariners

Drunk History (2013-2019)

Oh so when you work at a standing desk you’re a hero but when I eat lunch over the kitchen sink I’m “sad” and “need to be checked on” ?? C’mon.

Fred Rogers testifying before congress in 1969 in support of federal funding for public broadcasting. The GOP grew to hate PBS precisely because it taught their children to be kind and inclusive. Today they sneer at kindness and empathy as toxic weaknesses. They think a great nation must be cruel.

Folks, he’s done it again. 🧵

“[our tech overlords have] aligned with politicians bent on the destruction of the social safety net and the privatization of public services for the direct benefit of the ultra-wealthy.”

$1.1B in funding. Musk raised $44B to purchase Twitter. If we were like them, this is where a lefty billionaire would swoop in and replace that funding and encourage PBS to be as left as they want. Sadly, becoming a billionaire self-selects for a lot of psychotic traits opposed to PBS’s mission.

If you listen real close you can hear the tech bro billionaire group chat lighting up Bezos for dragging his feet on purchasing Wired.

And how much would you pay if it was a teleporter? We can play this game all day.

Ugh dogs are the best. The absolute best.
