I really would have liked to play Street Fighter tonight, but it seems the latest update triggers an error message that says my game is not up to date. And with PSN down for maintenance, who knows if that's getting fixed.

Least surprising group chat leaks in history.

How do liberals read left-wing criticisms of Democrats in threads full of left-wing people and still respond, "Oh yeah? Did you get mad when GEORGE BUSH did it?"

Bills

This is in no way a Super Bowl team. The Bills are embarrassing right now.

This Bills performance is already as embarrassing as the whole of last week's.

"Lol," said Timotheos. "Lmao."

In which John Oliver methodically unpacks how thin it is to claim you’re all about “the truth” when you’re only running essays don’t get properly fact-checked — and don’t hold up to even basic reporting scrutiny www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

The liberal elite delusion that police are broadly on the side of truth and justice has put us all in existential danger.

I guess good shoes couldn't save him this time.

Weekly reminder that today is Friday in California.

Democrats should go on TV and agree with every single one of these good ideas.

This all starts to make so much sense if they definitely know Donald Trump is a pedophile and are committed to suppressing the inevitable once the evidence is released.

Liberals, I beg you to do a follow-up search on even a single person you choose to celebrate as Trump's kryptonite before posting.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

This is the kind of shit that leads to a mutiny at Craster's Keep.

I come back to listen to this from time to time because "Fascism is a fucking cancer. It will eat your country, unless your country kills it" is so brilliant. (Except for the aside about Bernie at the end. 'You gotta do it later' doesn't happen in practice.) youtube.com/watch?v=XKvs...

I LIKE Guns N' Roses' cover of Sympathy for the Devil, and that scene was the perfect way to end Interview with the Vampire. Add this to the list of reasons I am NOT ASHAMED.

The Trump administration is an existential threat to every single person in America.

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

Chat, did this Diamond rank JP player rage quit on me in a casual match?

There are few guarantees in this world, but one of them is that the Democrats are cooked in 2028 if they nominate this clown.

I fought a Zangief tonight who literally just stood in the same spot spamming the throw. I thought it must be some kind of charity CPU or a glitch, so I just spammed Hadoken and got that easy rank up.

Every blue state governor should issue a warrant for Stephen Miller's arrest. If he sets foot within any of our borders, he goes to the hoosegow.

Lmfao

Those are the ugliest Bills jerseys I've ever seen.

If democrats wanted to win they’d be out there right now saying “this is exactly how we’re gonna perp walk Trump, Stephen Miller, and Brett Kavanaugh”

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

What the fuck is going on here.

You can see, in real time, centrist Democrats plotting to keep ICE around and unpunished if by some miracle they ever hold power again.

I hate him.

All Big Two properties should revert to the people who created them (or, if the creator is dead, to the public domain) and we should use the bare skeletons of Marvel and DC executives as xylophones

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

So this is really it. We’re very close to a line being crossed that is going to be clarifying for a lot of people who have either not been paying attention or who have been in denial.

This is what's so infuriating about Ezra Klein. Abortion access OUTPERFORMS dems in purple and red areas. There's zero reason to push pro-life Dems AT ALL lol. Especially because most people will just assume they're lying if they say they're pro choice because of branding.

What the fuck do they accept?

My niece (3 years old) wrote me a letter. I've blurred her name to protect her identity.

Holy shit, today is the 5-year anniversary of the day Trump got covid. We could have had something good happen.

Timeline cleanser

We're not allowed to say what needs to happen.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits

I just randomly thought of Bungo Baggins and started laughing so hard I coughed.

And to be clear, there is no problem with Ta-Nehisi Coates. Dude tells it like it is, and I wish we had a million more like him in positions of power and influence.

I didn't get the sense that Ezra Klein internalized a single lesson from that talk with Ta-Nehisi Coates.

RIP Jane Goodall.
