If the college football season ended today, it would surprise everyone, as there are several weeks left on the schedule.

You know that one clock you keep forgetting to adjust so that weeks or even months after the time change it still shows the wrong hour? That's how I still have so many followers.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Once more, for old times’ sake

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

Reposting this mostly to remind myself to keep going, despite *gestures at everything*.

🚨 Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been sued by 11 Aspiration investors who allege Ballmer used the company (now named Catona) "to secretly funnel millions of dollars to star NBA player, Kawhi Leonard [...] paying him more than allowed by the NBA’s salary cap rules” — www.pablo.show/p/update-ste...

I seem to recall that the Dems gained power in the 1930s by moving left. And they lost power in the 80s and 90s when they were moving right. Aside from Ike, leftism completely ran the country from 1932 to 1968. And Ike gave us the Interstate Highway System.

Friday Pauper Challenge 31-Oct; 51 Players. UB Fae wins and Fams gets 2nd place after its 1st last week. High Tide was the big winner with 3 in top 8 and most played in top 32 (4). Elves and Jund were the next most played (3). Where is the U Terror and Fae to save us from Tide? #MTGPauper

I feel like one of the most awkward things about the way my ADHD manifests is I'm just absolutely BRILLIANT at EVERYTHING, some of the time. I go places, I take names, and the world quakes in my wake. Some of the time. And the rest of the time I'm an amorphous blob

Happy Devil’s Night! Sorry I haven’t been around that much this evening. In addition to board games my other big hobby is arson, and as you can imagine tonight is basically our Gen Con. 👹🔥🏠🔥👹

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

My life is like a reverse Buster Keaton gag: the thin empty frame of a house collapses around me, any danger far away from hitting me aside from one small window that’s in the perfect position to strike me on the head, killing me instantly.

Yes, Lord of the Rings is about how you must trust the “hard men.” Just as Narnia is about an evil lion. And the New Testament tells a tale of a wimp who wouldn’t fight back. Next week on “fascists read classics,” we’ll meet tech visionary George Orwell…

When you're right, you're right.

The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl. The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.

If the Texas lawsuit against Tylenol seems a little out of the blue, well, it's because Ken Paxton's motives have nothing to do with pregnant women or children. It's because he's losing his primary race. And he desperately wants Trump's endorsement. www.salon.com/2025/10/29/t...

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over? Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. www.ft.com/content/4855...

Breaking: Mamdani’s story about to-MAY-toes alienating voters who say to-MAH-toes

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

My momma bestie is my auntie My auntie friend that go to her church is also my auntie My 75 year old cousin... is also my auntie "Auntie" is what happens when you understand the expansive proposition of family "That's not your aunt" is what happens when you live outside of restorative community

Stunning. I ordered a piece for my steampunk garb (pics forthcoming) on Thursday. It was coming from the UK to California. Arrived today, only 5 days after ordering. Well done, Royal Mail and USPS.

Yes we need to keep people and institutions accountable but if literally ALL you post about is how much you hate Democrats, liberals, mainstream news organizations, protests, allies etc then congratulations you've somehow made being a leftist indistinguishable from being a GOP psyop.

You know when Terry Pratchett said 'It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works'? Yeah, he meant this.

i deeply love WIRED and their reporting, but that ed zitron piece was one of the most bad faith, head scratchingly bizarre pieces i’ve ever read

you will note that the latest report, like all the reports, spend no time dealing with with the media environment or attention economy. (it also weirdly treats political choices as untethered from events)

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

It is Twitter! Like guys I’m telling you the thing that is collapsing basic norms and making white supremacy mainstream again and giving our formally centrist pundits a Strange New Respect for completely overt neo-Nazis is Twitter! You HAVE to stop ignoring it. It is going to destroy our society

Just read the scene where Èomer finds out that Èowyn, his sister, is on the battlefield - and thinking her dead he rides with rage and shouts: "Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!" Few lines are more epic than this.

"For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them."

Podcast idea: 30 minutes of random but intriguing audio from a variety of sources: lectures, monologues, news reports, audiobooks, interviews, radio dramas, documentaries, etc. None of it introduced or identified. Like coming across something captivating on the radio in the middle of the night.

Make a movie food: Fight Club Sandwich

Hollywood keeps chasing the shimmering oasis in Death Valley of "people want personalized like a cheap kid's book movies" and ignoring actual, real world successes like Sinners which are defined by being very specific visions from filmmakers trying to speak from their own experiences and history.

Hockey would be better if the players had to write a short essay about what they did wrong before they could leave the penalty box.

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

"I abducted a child from Mariupol and brought him into my family." Russia's Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, has admitted guilt in a war crime - the abduction of Ukrainian children - for which the Hague court issued a warrant.
