haruspexes will literally read the entrails of a goat the day before battle with the athenians and tell you, "the omens are poor, strategos" 🤣🤣🤣 my brother in zeus, you couldn't have told me this before we marched all this way?💯🗣️🔥

getting the onion newspaper is worth it alone for the ads

I've shopped for a decade or two under the philosophy that there are no sales, just brief periods when things aren't as overpriced. I have only felt more and more justified in that philosophy over that time period.

Someone said today is “pre-covid regular prices” and that hit me.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories: - Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy - Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

While consultants try to convince us that progressive policies are too left for mainstream: have you considered that the problem with male voters isn’t really about some fundamental disconnect between liberals and masculinity, but the massive disinfo apparatus built to manufacture one?

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

In the spirit of Thanksgiving Dinner conversations, I would like to point out that Steve Miller’s uncle has policy called out Steve Miller‘s hypocrisy and general xenophobia. May Steve Miller’a uncle live a long and happy life of peace and joy. May Steve Miller be visited by three spirits.

I can only think of one person for whom this is true and it’s Stephen Miller, who for some reason will not rest till the US reproduces the violent xenophobia that made his and my ancestors flee eastern Europe. The rest of his family seems normal, though

they can't handle meritocracy

Shit, I’m old Wait … … I have access to secret knowledge from the before-times! I have leveled up and become an Artificer!!!!!

These games are great, creative, and addictive, although the logic sometimes takes effort to figure out. A copy of them are playable through this website (and if you haven’t played them, you should) www.eyezmaze.com

An excellent thread, which I will add one extra dimension onto. People who are posting online fall into two camps: those writing for a small in-group and those writing for a large out-group. In writing, your audience matters …

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

i know this whole time of year can be tough for many so i just want you to know that you are loved by so many, and also by me also sorry i’m your sister now, be sure you drink some water and stop slouching so much and i’m gonna steal three bites of your pie and then kiss your cheek, nerd

I will have to explore this some more.

I think some people don't understand what the point of calling these lines are. Yes, it's to express displeasure at the specific censorship and that is important, but it's also to consume resources and time. OK, but why does that matter? Simple, if you do it enough, the normies will notice.

@docseuss.bsky.social , is this the origin story of Waifu Death Squad?

"Left on the economy, right on culture" is also, as needs repeating a hundred thousand time, the central lie of fascism. OF COURSE it appeals to the in-group who thinks their well-being AND their prejudices will be pandered to.

"Left on the economy, right on the culture," is just fascism in the end. Also it will never take you left on the economy in the long run, because a machine built for eating people will keep eating people.

I love this cute baby boy!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Okay … if this is true, that’s really interesting … I have heard that ADHD is also tied with dopamine release timing.

What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

ChatGPT-ass pants of holding

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists

I think this is a valid point

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

People don't dislike Tim Sweeney nearly as much as they should.

It me!

I really want more people to internalize that question: "if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in?" I know so many people who put shit in games cause they think it 'has' to be there. No, you're just cargo culting! Think about every element of the game and the joy it brings you!

Landlords do not provide housing.

What we call: “Coldcocking the butterball”

genuinely i think the problem with pornography is the problem with trans people: until recently they were generally seen as fringe topics beneath the attention of The Freaks Upstairs, allowing them to silently become Normal. only now that they are Normal have they very suddenly become an Emergency

Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

A quick reminder that Peter Thiel is more likely a Manipulative Narcissist Apocalypse-Humper, than an Unhinged True-Believer Apocalypse-Humper. He has, to the best of my knowledge, written about how one should run their startup like a cult. … also pretty sure he has a fallout shelter somewhere.

Key takeaway of 2025: Bluesky is an enormous activism force that punches above its weight. The paypros censorship stuff? This site is the one that’s getting us to the 20 yard line. The initial interest in the summer hasn’t returned to Twitter, whereas Bluesky is now the de facto source on this issue

give it up for Henry yall

there were a couple weeks where i tried Perplexity to see if AI search engines were any good. They aren't. If you disagree let me make something clear: I am better at searching than you.
