The pick will be interesting but in general I like this. This gives the Bears much needed cap space while dealing from an overprovisioned area Impetus is now on Ben Johnson/Ryan Poles to make sure the train keeps running

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Drew Dalman retiring is very bad for the Bears, imo. A lot of fans were lowkey freaking out about the LT situation but there’s obvious precedence about how they would handle that. Dalman was a key to getting that offense to go and if he’s gone…I trust Ben Johnson but this is a challenge

All Bears podcast episodes are now obsolete

Tired: Friedman Unit Wired: Trump Unit

This is a very weird thing to post because it never happened! Bernie Sanders wasn't in the Senate until 2007, and the AUMF passed 296-133 (including Sanders) in the House, and 77-23 in the Senate. He was part of a minority who voted against it yes but there were over 150 of them!

Good thread.

I thought flushing things away was exactly what bidets didn’t do

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

I was excited to see the New Atheists loudly and proudly identifying as Atheist, especially during the Bush 2 era; but seeing them then go on to confidently make obvious reasoning and observation mistakes made me realize that this was not, on the whole, something better

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

2026 basically

Everything is anime now

It’s unreasonably important to me that people know JewBelong isn’t some big org, it’s just Archie Gottesman, a hugely shitty racist rich white woman who used to make billboards for her daddy’s company and pivoted to vomiting her bullshit racist crybullying onto them in the name of “antisemitism”

James Van Der Beek once portrayed an actor who was playing a role based on Jason Mewes and I gotta be honest I would have bet wrong on which of those two left the earth first

Dang

Good fucking lord we’re gonna do 99 Luftballons in real life

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Has any player ever done a more impressive comeback than winning the Super Bowl after being coached by Adam Gase

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

There was no happy ending for Patriots' owner Robert Kraft today.

I know this is mean but what are the chances that Drake Maye has the Dan Marino career

MLB TV will remain $150 a season but look at this BS they’re trying to pull. You cannot “buy” MLB TV without buying ESPN Unlimited, but they give you a one month free trial, and then the hope is you forget to cancel since you don’t need ESPN to have MLB TV, only to initially purchase.

Wtf why is WAS sending out picks did I miss something

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

I had to look up what the hell Citadel even was, it's some Russo Bros Prime TV show that no one has head of, no one has watched and no one will ever watch, yet it has eaten up more money than any of us will ever see in our lives in one episode.

To everyone who told me that xAI acquiring X was about acquiring training data and not a shady way to move money around:

me in 2023: surely the fisher king's illness affecting the entire kingdom was an overwrought Arthurian metaphor

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

im gonna be real the us system of government is not good. it got even worse during the Cold War era where it built up the presidency into a monarchy out of a belief that it had to react instantaneously in the event of crisis

!

DO NOT LIKE

I think I still have a higher opinion of Joe Brady than most do, but to fire Sean McDermott and then promote both the general manager and offensive coordinator is quite a place to end up

terry pegula throwing the coaching staff under the bus for the keon coleman pick to protect brandon beane and then turning around and hiring the oc from that staff is so fucking funny. billionaire brain must be studied.

I'm sorry but i truly believe that it should be illegal to use "Safety Dance" as the bumper music into the break unless the previous play was a safety

There's a level of unplayability that some games get to but I would NOT sacrifice the total joy of most snow games just to prevent stuff like that

That was…weird? It seemed like Maye took a wrong step instead of just plunging forward

What happened when I tried to hire a remote engineer - me, for @themarkup.org themarkup.org/hello-world/...

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

I went down the football fan subreddits rabbit hole this morning, and I am utterly gobsmacked. 90+% of the content in the top threads are unabashed FUCK ICE posts, memes mocking the regime, and dudes saying how important it is to come together over something this significant.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

"Environmental Insurrectionist" is a great example of how the right can only learn new words when they're being used to accuse them of crimes and then they only learn their meaning well enough to turn the accusation on their enemies

BREAKING: There is an attractive looking woman in the stadium. We are filming her so men can imagine having sex with her. UPDATE: Apologies to our male viewers - we have learned that the woman we wanted you to imagine having sex has *had* sex. We have begun an aggressive campaign to punish her.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

Supports the notion that the Bears let this one get away from them

what an incredible bears season

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

51.2 yards in the air, per NextGenStats. I’m stunned.
