This screencap of the Meta Director of Safety trying to stop the Openclaw AI Agent from deleting her inbox (she did not succeed) feels like a sneak preview of how humanity is going to end

Reminder that anti-trans posturing on the right was spun as "protecting the sanctity of women's sports" and the media took that seriously despite the fact MAGA clearly thinks women's sports are a joke

There are lots of jobs in lots of different sports I could see myself enjoying but hockey goalie is not one of them. Being the last line of defense as bladed warriors fire projectiles at you, insane pressure all game long... absolutely an insane calling. Mad respect for those who do it

I don't want to be a Spelling Bee troll but genuinely surprised CONCOMITANT didn't count, it's a perfectly cromulent word

Whenever I needed to explain how quintessentially Northern Wisconsin my upbringing was, I would say "you could letter in curling in my high school" so I'm very much enjoying how many people are getting into it this Winter Olympics

Really excited to have a mayoral race here that's progressive vs moderate instead of LA's usual fight, moderate vs money www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

I'm no mathematician but I don't know how you look at the 80% threshold/3 of 5 structure and not see instantly it will almost always result in one person per year, unless 1 or 2 get almost no votes. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills? This is just a math thing?

I've always felt that "I never understand Shakespeare" was in part a function of not having heard it performed by the right actor. It's incredible how McKellen's performance makes this speech accessible in addition to powerful and timely

Pfft we have that here too, it's called improv classes

Phil Collins turns 75 today which feels like a good reason to post the most quintessentially 80's TV cameo crossover: Phil Collins hosting a game show on Miami Vice where the contestant is Emo Phillips www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iWQ...

Apropos of nothing other than just to share something positive, Little Sparrow is a great Dolly Parton album with some really cool covers (this one and Seven Bridges Road are 🔥) www.youtube.com/watch?v=plUD...

This game is like J. Walter Weatherman leaning in to the Bluth kids "this... is why... you KICK THE FIELD GOAL"

I guess it's kind of reassuring in a warped way to see that the 2nd Amendment means no more to these people than any of the other rights they also don't give a shit about

I truly don't blame people who cut off the MAGA family members in their life. I don't know how you have normal weather! sports! movies! conversations with people who defend summary executions in the street

In sci fi movies and fantasy books there are often grotesque villains who need all this help to stay alive and I would always find it implausible, but now I totally get how that happens

Absolutely incredible alignment on my timeline.

Wait a minute, how did I not know that Heated Rivalry was brought to TV and directed by Jacob Tierney from Letterkenny and Shoresy?!?

Filling in my emergency contact for a doctor's appointment and wait a minute who the hell is Carlos

Whenever they get the ball in their own territory the Texans should just punt on first down, pin the Patriots deep, and then try to get a defensive touchdown or turnover where they're already in the red zone

Now that everybody is doing the Tush Push my sincere hope is that it causes Eagles fans to realize it doesn't suck because they do it well, it sucks because it sucks

Gonna be an awful lot of Jeff Hostetler references this week

One danger of having a young child: you will almost certainly say the phrase "go potty" to a grown adult by accident

If they had any guts Pittsburgh would hire Stefanski, Baltimore would hire Tomlin, and Cleveland would hire Harbaugh in the NFL version of a 70's key party

If nothing else it's indicative how much ICE is ruin by idiots that they decided the time to occupy Minnesota was JANUARY. Real Hitler-in-Russia dumbassery here

“Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that’s all I need to know about you.” -Brad Meltzer

Kind of feels like it might have been a bad idea to let blatant lying no longer having any consequences in the public sphere

As an avid reader of history, I vastly preferred learning about the rise of Fascism in the 20th Century via books and having debates about how it could have happened in the abstract versus living through the real-time re-enactment

Imagine being the richest guy in the world, with the ability to clean the oceans, fix healthcare, replace oil with renewables, any number of things that would make you the most beloved person alive, and instead you opt to create a nonconsensual porn machine that kills the environment

Always funny to me that in trying to create weird outcasts, John Hughes put two of the hottest women characters of the 80's onscreen with Mary Stuart Masterson in SKOW and Ally Sheedy in Breakfast Club. Oh noooo, a drummer with short blonde hair and a sarcastic edgy artist, how GROTESQUE

I'll take it.

There are lots of later music videos I love (Sabotage by the Beastie Boys, Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz, so many more) but in terms of peak MTV, this is still my fave. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJWJ...

Name 1 movie from your childhood you were way too young to watch.

"Here's lookin' at you, Avatar"

These Saturday night Packer games are the worst. I don't need my WHOLE weekend ruined, thankyouverymuch

Snacks in Different Locations: A Parenting During Winter Break Story

My mom's new hobby is sending me articles about the dangers of a medicine I've just been prescribed

Very excited I got to spend Christmas night with the Three Kings of Douchebaggery, they're so terrible and so perfect

Max Brosmer looks like he came from the set of Bugsy Malone

I find most of these year-end wrap-ups unnecessary but this is probably the first one that felt shameful

Fun fact: in a rare example of NOT this, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was created by an employee of Montgomery Ward, and after it became wildly popular, the company's CEO gave him back the rights. The family still owns and manages the copyright. And the employee's brother-in-law wrote the song!

I've never understood why a helmet to helmet head shot that knocks a QB out of a game doesn't result in the defender also getting disqualified. The upside is SO MUCH GREATER for the defense it's practically an incentive to try those hits

Kind of ironic that the anti-trans crowd, who argue it goes against God's will to change who you are, is absolutely obsessed with plastic surgery

Rob Reiner's run as a director from 1984-1989 may be the best (and most versatile) 5-year stretch by any filmmaker in history. This is Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally, all in a row. Extraordinary.

No words. Devastated.

If you're a parent of a grade schooler, you're already very familiar with "user-generated" content of beloved characters. There's a million Bluey ones on YouTube and they're AWFUL. Horrible quality, confusing messaging, basically just ripoff garbage. I guess that's what Disney wants more of...?

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind thing, but entirely to no longer know who Olivia Nuzzi is

Strong Floor, No Ceiling: How to Sing from Your Diaphragm

Waze should have a button that means “I’m not going that way intentionally, please stop trying to reroute me back to the route I rejected”

If the Packers don't make a run to the SB this year I will definitely be rooting for Davante Adams to get a ring

I feel a little ripped off that @andyrichter.co got booted from Dancing with the Stars before Prince night
