Maybe it's just cause I'm from there, but I feel Oregon vs Portland has got to be way up there.

Sigh. Instead of Kremlinology what do we have? Mar-a-lagology?

During COVID I was so pissed at all the Republicans mad at the government "infringing on freedoms" that, just a few years prior, were demanding significantly more invasive government action on Ebola.

I wish I could go back to my old IR classes at college and do an "I told you so!"

Sadly my governor continues to disappoint. I think he's cooking is brain in the worst group chats. At least Polis' deadly RFK jr glazing has a constituency. Who the Hell is this for? And right after the legislative session ends. He's a fool if he thinks he has a shot as the presidency.

Finally got around to finishing Volume 3 of Kieron Gillen's "The Power Fantasy". It continues to be excellent and everything I want in a supers comic. I think it also does a good job at showing how all the superpowers were wrong in some way.

D&D5e (2014) Warhammer Fantasy RPG 4e Greg Stolze's Reign Monster of the Week

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?

The white gorillas are what got me into Wonder Woman comics and Gail Simone as a writer. They are also what I tell people when they ask what I like about supers comics. They changed how I thought about Diana as a character. And then I started reading everything by Gail.

The person in the Pakistani mediation team (or whoever it was) that suggested "Just tell Trump to wait two weeks, he loves waiting two weeks" needs a goddamn raise.

Good thing disease has never been a problem that has weakened militaries.

I think the smooth brocolli would yearn for the Georgia O'Keeffeian build of Biollante in rose form.

I would, unironically, love playing that game.

my unpopular opinion is that we're better off with Kash running the FBI and we should hope he keeps his job as long as Trump does

I know a lot of people are ragging on this martini but, as someone that likes a savory cocktail, I'd give it a try.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

I am realizing, the ceasefire holding is going to be 100% determined by Trump watching the news and scrolling the internet seeing if the worst people on the planet view him as a "hero" or a "loser".

The person in the Pakistani mediation team (or whoever it was) that suggested "Just tell Trump to wait two weeks, he loves waiting two weeks" needs a goddamn raise.

While it's widely accepted that "Snozzberries taste like snozzberries", the truth is that no one really knows what snozzberries actually taste like.

The Denver Press Club's statement on the Nexstar-Tegna merger. Spoiler alert: We oppose it. It's bad for journalism as an industry, bad for the community that relies on local news, and bad for journalists as both individuals and employees. denverpressclub.org/denver-press...

Tax Day. Where all Americans prepare their taxes and the IRS processes them in 24 hours.

I remember travelling for a track meet in high school and we stopped in a Subway for dinner. Brown worker. The kid in front of me ordered...suspiciously. White bread. Chicken with that white meat. What kind of cheese? "White. It's gotta be white" (I remember that bit word for word). Lots of mayo.

The one RFK Jr weirdo I had to misfortune to know would literally sit at the bar and tell people about "The Great Reset" and how "They" (You know the ones) and Bill Gates were plotting to take away your beef and make you eat organ meat and bugs. I suspect, if he's still alive, he's okay with this.

Bone Ass, Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, Magnificent Hat, and "I'm Just Gonna Lie Down A Minute".

It's an op. I don't really like the "It's an op" framing that is the default explaination for dumb behavior. Especially these days. If there is one thing we've learned recently it's that a lot of people are stupid. And they're in every demographic. But, c'mon, it's an op.

Ken Kesey, the Merry Prankster and author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. My AP Lit teacher was friends with him and he died just before we read the book in her class. It was sad. I did not like the book and from the limited stories she told about him I do not think we would have been friends.

During my time in the Hagwon (학원) mines I had a student that resisted getting an English name until he developed a years long obsession with NCIS. He was sad when I explained to him that neither "Leroy" or "Jethro" were considered "cool" names in the US, but if he liked them he should just do it.

A few weeks ago, I had the unfortunately please of explaining who Clavicular was, what he deal is, and what the fuck looksmaxxing is and never have I been so offended to have to know information. And never have people looked more baffled that any of this was a thing.

It's gonna turn out Tulsi Gabbard is literally Natasha Fatale and she had to find new work after RFK Jr ran over and ate Moose and Squirrel.

Blutah may be a bit of a stretch, but from what I hear from my in-laws in Utah there is some level (can't say how widespread) of concern about the targetting of the Tongan community in Utah (which the LDS church has cultivated) and fears about ICE closing Hispanic wards.

honestly not in a million years would i have called this

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

BREAKING and HUGE news for transgender people: The bipartisan final negotiated text for these spending bills REMOVED language to restrict gender-affirming care as part of the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program. docs.house.gov/billsthiswee...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Tonight we had my favorite meal of the year: Split pea soup made with the bone from the Christmas ham.

Did we lose Florida and no one told me?

I tell this joke at my regular bar (the Denver Press Club) whenever people get all...conspiracy theory.

He's dead isn't he.

I'm having difficulty with the right way to phrase this, but thinking of Owens' audience in terms of "conservative" is too broad of a way of thinking about her and her audience. Certainly they are conservative, but the lens to look at Owens' success is that of a conspiracy theorist.

Interesting that it had Udo catch the rats alive. Now I'm imaging a rat catcher that grossly misunderstood what the job was and is desperately trying to find the owners of these lost rats.

I got to the part where they talk about Harari's (for lack of a better term) thoughts on "Life, Liberty and Happiness" in the Declaration of Independence and all I could think was "I, too, have read Starship Troopers".

I want a Transformer of this NOW

Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

"Women at Harvard deserve educators who respect them."

A long and comprehensive opinion, but this jumped out at me: The judge accused the Federal Protective Service—which was called in to suppress the protests—of lying under oath to slander the regular Portland police.😬 DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.

I actually did this a couple of hours ago. Here are 2024 items and prices. This is with the discounted prices advertised "now" online, some stuff is usually a little more. From what I can see, it is actually about the same price as it was last year, give or take a buck or two.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

It does seem inappropriate to have the "evil and intimidating horse" on the cover of an Atelier game.

Peterson is awful if every way. An absolute piece of shit, but unlike a lot of people I know...I really like his suits. This one in particular. It's a choice and I respect that. Hell, I would wear that suit. I would pay money for it. Say what you will about Batman villians, but they have style.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes
