god I hope I fall asleep and don't have to tell the story about the last time I pulled an all nighter to watch a world cup final

This strategy is basically saying that historic forced famines from Ireland to India to Ukraine were tactically inefficient because starving is slow compared to how dehydration accomplishes a mass killing way faster.

well don't make him sound cool

Virtually no one who cites a need to "beat China" in the "AI race" ever bothers to explain what any of that actually means: what the stakes are, where the finish line is, why we're racing in the first place, what "winning" looks like, etc. Largely vibes-based techno-nationalism.

It's genuinely insane that these companies have existed for longer than a week. 90% of their business is sports gambling and they don't have gaming licenses! It is flagrantly illegal! Enforce a law!

I would like to talk about 4:30ish am less frequently.

Lars Von Trier's Oedipus Rex

The part in Dunkirk where Barry Keoghan falls down some stairs on a boat and then like an hour later they cut to him again and he's just a dead guy in storage.

Slowly realizing and my two answers that don't have the word "Star" in the title are both M Night Shyamalan movies and feeling bad because I don't want to be mean, but Lady in the Water and Old were not good films.

I'm always rooting for the musicians to pull something off in these cover/rewrite challenges and there was absolutely no winning with Roundabout, but it is fun watching him realize he was *entirely* off base and the song kicks a tremendous amount of ass. www.youtube.com/watch?v=taC0...

i always like plugging two USB-C devices into each other and seeing which charges which. i figure if i do this enough eventually i'll uncover the true winner of consumer electronics

People make too big a deal about geese. If you have enough wisdom to overcome their intimidation move then it doesn't take much dex to grab it by the neck. Then all you have to do is go apeshit. Problem sorted.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

Refilled my 0% nicotine vape that's supposed to be tobacco flavored but tastes like artificial maple syrup, a habit I keep doing for some reason.

It's almost like the police in general mostly serves as a jobs program for violent abusive perverts where the job is to brutalize people for looking at them funny and don't provide much positive value to society except as a candidate source when the president wants to explicitly build a paramilitary

I will vote for whoever promises that after their administration these bars will be inconceivably small by comparison

Popped open Watch Duty as soon as I saw the headline and lmao

Hey wouldn't it be weird if you knew a guy who didn't sleep?

this kind of false equivalency is proof that any opponents of the left wing of the party don't actually take sexual assault and rape seriously either, it's just as offensive as platner apologism to me

Emily Oster’s columns are all basically “just die, bitch”

You’re British aren’t you

NAPALM DEATH TINY DESK CONCERT, NOT A BIT, NAPALM DEATH TINY DESK CONCERT www.youtube.com/watch?v=e81L...

I'm generally ok with harmless acts of hedonism but draw the line at taking the Steam Deck into the bathroom.

Immediate reaction to Backrooms: why couldn't you do that in 85 minutes?

Would like to remind everyone that PG&E is one of the main funders of Gavin Newsom's wife's documentaries that nobody watches or knows about and he rewards those functional bribes year after year.

Yes it's sexist to say women are accountable for all their husband's crimes as such but Serena Williams is still with this sniveling evil dork after a decade and that's worthy of some judgement.

I would sincerely argue that it's nearly any town with an existent coal industry.

Diarrhea is the mind-killer. Diarrhea is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my diarrhea. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the diarrhea has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

"what if there's some stuff to see at 2am" is totally a reason to go for a walk if you have a good enough sleep disorder

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. William G. "Billy" Weir in Event Horizon meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.

My friends had a traffic light in their garage because the pole blew over in a storm and they threw on hi vis vests before stealing it. Neighborhood dads were there the whole time believing stuff like "oh we're from Traffic, the light is our part, clearing the pole is up to the Infrastructure dept"

also, having a term limited governor's wife run in their stead. It sucks but it's precedented.

All men who are pure of heart need two forms of enrichment; dig a hole, and break one big object into many smaller objects. Scientists believe this is seasonal; dig hole is summer and smash ice is winter.

We had a chocolate lab who loved to chew tv remotes. The one and only time she ever disturbed a package left on the porch was the time my dad ordered several to “solve this”. Don’t know how she knew what was in there, but she shredded all of them across the yard. Maybe the maddest I ever saw dad.

There are 23 states with a democratic AG. There are 12 states involved in this lawsuit. If you want AGs that will fight for us, you need to pay attention to more than just the letter after their name.

too many people are saying "it happens in threes" and aren't concerned that the final Graham might be Heather.

@parkermolloy.com incredible sports graphic

Someday I would like people to broadly understand how difficult, high risk, high suspicion, and low reward it is to fix any fight that is notable enough to get filmed and broadcast.

Accepting certain limitations is just as important as believing in yourself. For example, I understand that due to things like "persistent impulse control issues" and "always doing bits" I cannot become a crane operator.

Fun to think about how ten sitting US senators are already over the average life expectancy. 10% of the chamber could die of natural causes this month and we'd have to go "well, it was their time" for each of them like

It's so hard to overstate how cooked every brain in this admin is. The vice president got pulled so far down the conspiracy rabbit hole algorithm online that his wife had to stage an intervention. That was in the past year! They're all like this!

It's genuinely hilarious that whenever someone on the right dies, Trump can't even pretend to care about them for more than like 5 minutes. Lol

Schrödinger's Diaspora Jew: Simultaneously existentially threatened as a Jewish minority always on the verge of extermination without a Jewish state to keep us safe, and yet also too pampered in our comfortable homes in New York to lecture Israeli Jews facing constant danger on how to keep safe.

One of the great dualities of MMA is that no other sport has so many athletes who are both entirely pitiable while at the same time unworthy of even the slightest iota of pity.

If Lindsey Graham is dead then who are the 60 and older libs going to direct their homophobia at
