Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

[soul calibur announcer] through the darkness of future past the magician longs to see

With the invasion in Iraq there was some effort to portray it (for the rubes who did not believe it was about 9/11) as about some higher ideals, promoting democracy, empowering women. Here, there isn't even a coherent lie. Its all the personal pique of the mad King that no courtiers will question.

I know this is a bold stance in America, but I simply do not believe we should be declaring war on another country for “stealing our oil” when the oil is, in fact, under the ground of that other country

My goodness

Steam Replay this year dominated by a new Baldur’s Gate 3 campaign and Two Point Campus. Non-Steam time was mostly Two Point Hospital (picked up free on Epic).

“On behalf of Director Park Chan-wook's new film, we are cordially inviting all Fortune 500 CEOs to a special screening of NO OTHER CHOICE. This is truly a film that speaks to our gracious executive leaders and the culture they have cultivated.” Beast mode shit.

I have discovered that they make exactly one Welch’s diet grape soda but it comes at a hefty price indeed.

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

can't win them all

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

all my buddies are here 🥹

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

I was right. It was a meth lab. Its on the dea's clandestine lab registry. Incident august 4th, 2004. Has probably been abandoned for the last 20 years. www.dea.gov/clan-lab

I was curious why it was so cheap. The walls and ceiling appear to be yellow from what I assume to be decades of smoking, in addition to needing a shit ton of other work. But hey, a wife and seven kids could handle that.

If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

Good Trouble 🔥

Do not do this.

The 'Dark Fiber' in this case would be a fuckton of Nvidia GPUs that will be obsolete in a year or two. Just absolute catastrophe shit.

This is the part that makes this worse than the Dot Com collapse When Cisco laid a DECADES worth of Fiber Optics it still had utility that just overshot its market It's entirely plausible that what's built now is already far too much, never mind the years of further comittments It's gonna be ugly

I get that we're talking about gaming in the mid-2020s, but this one's still tough to get the ol' noodle around.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Wow, that must be so terrifying to think you're being abducted.

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

hell yeah dude

Twin Peaks: Albert Rosenfield.

Status update on House Republicans and a health care plan, after this morning’s conference meeting: “The consensus is we need to come up with something,” Rep. Ralph Norman says.

NEW: an activist has been charged for allegedly wiping a Google Pixel phone before CBP could search it. Search was by a secretive CBP Tactical Terrorism Response Team, which ACLU says "interrogate innocent travelers." We uploaded the indictment here: www.404media.co/man-charged-...

JIMMY FALLON: [set and his suit looks like it’s from the 1970s for some reason] So you’re telling me the reason we are all sad is because of Volcano ghosts? That’s crazy. Haha. That’s nuts. Haha. L RON: [Grin like someone mashed chiclets into ground beef] That’s entirely correct Jim.

men would rather go back to raccoon city than go to therapy

google maps (punching me in the stomach): fastest route is uber me: but i want to take the subway google maps (throwing me across the room): 2 buses and a transfer would save 4 minutes me: i like subway google maps (kicking me in the head): biking is 45 seconds faster me: underground choo-choo

i think bryce harper put his blood in a soda stream

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

I propose a solution to our ongoing RAM shortage:

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

Welcome to Hell. Your president doesn’t give a shit about you. And now you’re here… miserable, cold, wet, and hated. Away from people you care about during the holidays. You evil mfers, you will never win. Hope those army surplus camo cosplays are built for the polar vortex.

Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!
