they call it jury nullification and you’re hearing it more and more. people say you can’t, you can’t nullify, but juries say, stop us. it’s incredible really. can you believe it? jury nullification.

I got a nice shout-out at the staff meeting today but in the best way - the person shouting me out didn’t see me in the room so there was a non-directional little rill of applause and nobody looked at me! Ah, to be appreciated without being perceived

My American healthcare conspiracy theory is that every podiatrist is in the pocket of Big Wearing Sneakers Inside The House

Incredible postseason for perverts like me (free baseball is just good value)

Clair Obscure: Expedition 33

When no one at the école noticed your work

What will the popular media landscape even look like now? This beloved institution has been around since before I was born, I guess, wow

This is a Hall of Fame post.

Sometimes I imagine showing an alien anthropologist an hour of primetime TV commercials and having them extrapolate what Americans are like. Gambling obsessives who all have cancer, smell real bad, dicks don’t work, can’t feel joy, our movies are pure dogshit. Look at my culture, dawg, etc

i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w

Started watching Columbo. This may be the greatest show ever made. My prior Columbo experience outside of pop culture osmosis is Peter Falk in Wings Of Desire. Wenders told us the truth: he was an angel.

Which horror/slasher movie villains might have voted in a US election? No on Jason: died a child, never could have registered. Michael Myers, though, did learn to drive while in the sanitarium, so maybe he has a license and maybe he's registered to vote. He's usually out around election day, too.

It’s actually fine I am gonna be able to watch so many more horror movies this month now

I thought you all might like to know what’s going on over at the Phillies subreddit.

This is wild I’m hearing the big fire was started by a guy who was obsessed with big fires can anyone confirm

In my longest-running D&D campaign, the DM basically spent years allowing us to build the ultimate weapon before turning it on us. Every few months somebody would say “wouldn’t it be funny if [this ultimate weapon] were used against us?” and we’d all laugh. Anyway,

It's incredible that all the discourse is about a civil war instead of a general strike. Americans would rather shoot their neighbor than take time off work.

"Gandalf Stormcrow" is some Johnny Bad News nickname. Check it out it's Steve The Drama.

THE MEME IS REAL

Like anybody can afford to feed an oviraptor in this economy

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

If you see someone stomping around the park with a scowl on her face, muttering “say science one more time I swear I fucking swear,” don’t be alarmed, she might just be listening to PROJECT HAIL MARY on her lunch walk. You have nothing to fear from her unless you are a total dweeb

BIG BOY RUN FAST BIG BOY RUN FAST

If you made a movie where even a beloved national journalist was publicly murdered and his funeral was simulcast to the nation by every major network it would have required too much suspension of disbelief to work one month ago

big meeting with the mayor today to go over my proposal to replace water fountains with hotdog dispensers

The sequel to this is going to be seven hours long and miserable and everyone will hate it and it’ll be required viewing in A.P. American history classes

Tom Brady doesn’t annoy me on the broadcast as much as I expected but I can’t take him seriously bc of the Andrew Tate seed oils tweet. “You have never had real enemies. You’re afraid of sunflowers”

There are like five researchers whose opinions and analysis of schizoposting/O9A/accelerationist communities, and I doubt those will be the people on CNN

For three months I’ve been trying to articulate the way Otto Kemp - who I like! - always has a look on his face like at any moment somebody will yell “Hey, that man isn’t a Major League Baseball player!” and he’ll get bundled off the field, straight to a CIA black site, and they just tweeted it out…

Came across this in an ad and my eyebrows shot up all the way past ny hairline

Calling to say you sent me an email is ok I guess, but have you ever tried calling me on the phone to tell me you are coming down to my office in person to answer the question I emailed you?

You are not required to formally issue a well-researched, responsible and morally consistent take every time a dickhead gets shot. You are not in charge of a candidate’s polling or optics or anything like that. You are not America’s Gun Czar. You’re just some guy. Give yourself a break

Every article about how cool and important AI chatbots are is just some idiot asking a robot “Are you good?” and the robot says “What a spectacular question, ur so pretty lol” and the idiot is like “I have lost my faith in the Christian god, all hail the robot who said I’m pretty”

I hate the Jets and I love Mike Tomlin but I hate Aaron Rogers, real Alien v. Predator sitch here

Baseball is a heck of a thing

The players’ reactions to the Kamasi Washington rendition of the national anthem were already incredible, and then they cut to Harbaugh and he looked annoyed, then they cut to Andy Reid and he looked like when a dog sees a magic trick

Chat is it good if the broadcast team can’t stop saying the word “bizarre”

Anyway, enough of all these horrors, time to welcome the national football league back into my life!

An unfortunate side effect of our world being destroyed by all these terrible old men is when I see these ghouls dragging their terrible old bodies around, converting oxygen into civil rights violations, I can’t help but do the math on how much older they’ve been allowed to get than my dad was

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

It’s not exactly a plan but I think if we find Kurt Loder and get him in front of a camera the rest could work itself out

All I am seeing are people posting about what they aren’t posting about, I am not in a fit state for this many layers of abstraction

This Thursday Murder Club movie is not good at all! There ought to be consequences for wasting Jonathan Pryce and Richard E. Grant in this way!

It is very important to me that we protect Kyle Schwarber

I don’t know anything about DC local criminal cases. I do know the DC federal district doesn’t usually see a high volume of indictments, and the addition of twenty bodies to the USAO might indicate that they expect this to change

You know how sometimes when a light bulb is really dim, when you turn it on the room feels like it gets darker? That is my relationship with the SEPTA app. I open it to ask “Where is bus?” and find myself instead contemplating “…is bus?”
