Russian scuba divers are notoriously reckless and dangerous. Have not encountered any myself.

amazing this is not a skit

YouTube has started recommending Andor clips to me and they're all monologues. This your king?!

In all this tanking brouhaha, let's just agree that Sam Hinkie and Pablo Torre should never have another meal or drink outside their own home that isn't spit in.

(Walking out of a live production of Porgy and Bess) "You can't even make a production of Porgy and Bess today because of WOKE."

MASSIVE fan of this one:

I, uh, say we should Yoshi and the Mysterious Book it to the polls!

he is a cynical, malicious, monstrous black hole of a human being and we’ve been caught in his event horizon for ten years, *of course* we are feeling the effects of that, making everyone feel awful is his superpower

at the risk of oversimplifying, i do not find it especially surprising that a full ten years into the era of donald trump dominating our politics, americans find ourselves angry, bitter, cynical and resentful no matter our material conditions.

I don’t think enough cis women appreciate how much all of this noise around ‘bathroom bans’ will affect us. (I also think it’s notable that after a chat between me, a cis woman and Steph, a trans woman, a correspondent text in to ask ‘why wasn’t there a woman in the conversation, for balance?’)

Meanwhile, the bottom three teams of the 29 that qualify are: 27. Heat (21-22) at -4.09% 28. Bucks (20-21) at -4.36% 29. Thunder (24-25) at -4.79% That's two champs and one team that lost in Game 7 of East Finals.

Over the last seven seasons (since The Bubble), the three teams that have exceeded their 3pt Shot Quality in the playoffs the most by eFG%: 1. Knicks (25-26) at +7.69% 2. Heat (22-23) at +5.23% 3. Pacers (24-25) at +4.93% (Min 500 3pt FGA)

The Knicks are heading back to the NBA Finals (and at least *looking like* champions).

No. It's because the artificial sweetener in Coke Zero leaves a bad aftertaste for me. It's the same reason I eschew "Coca-Cola Light" abroad. I just like American Diet Coke, man.

The really unsexy truth about climate change is that we're doing Pretty GoodAll Things Considered and dooming about it is just sorta the Midwit Position now 4C was where we were heading prior to Paris. Worst case scenario on current policies is 2.7C. An unfathomable amount of harm has been averted

The Spurs could sure use the 3-point shooting and playmaking of a Tyler Herro right now

He lost the war because Alex Toledo of Five Reasons failed to hold him ACCOUNTABLE for his Spotations.

“so what’s your take?” “the city of New York must pay me $1 million cash in the next hour and I will kill one person for every minute they are late” “100% disagree”

Pat Riley's assessment of the Eastern Conference was 1000% correct. A bunch of putzes and yutzes.

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming in 2026 on Blu-ray from #ToyRobotVideo: #GuyverDarkHero (1994)! Sean Barker became the unwilling host to an alien bio-armor known as the Guyver. A year ago he destroyed the Kronos Corporation, an organization of mutants who want the Guyver.

Pete Hegseth is like, "20 shots at the White House? That's just a day ending in y for me"

I like to focus on what has the biggest impact and reducing LLM power use per floating point operation by 99% seems the biggest thing I can find. Clean power is technically solved, storage is well on the way, but we have runaway demand now which needs an efficiency shock. This I believe is it.

Jeff Bezos just told us yesterday that the PissLover is more disciplined this time around!

we would all be much better off if people, young and old, would just admit that they like pissing and moaning rather than try to make this kind of low-stakes ball into What This Says About Society

Just imagine the absolute contempt that the people who planned this must have for everything they purport to care about, including the freedom and lives of Iranians and the memory of the Holocaust. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Hahahahahahahaha

Wemby jacking up that three from 28ft out and cashing it is Michael Jordan type shit. GOATed.

I am no fan of Abrams, but this has to stop. "Plans" are not the vital end-all to making fiction like this, skill is. And even if "no plan" was the problem, these framings end up ignoring whatever "plan" might've existed went away when they started listening to whiny fanboys mad at TLJ.

🗃️ You’re mad that Nolan’s Odyssey includes people of color. I’m mad that Nolan’s Odyssey doesn’t include the insanely tacky rainbow of colors that were used to paint everything in Ancient Greece. We are not the same.

i wrote something new for FS about things LeBron could do instead of returning to the Lakers 13 was originally "Kill a man" but I have no say in the editorial process anyway fansided.com/nba/25-compl...

Yes, beware of PAWGs and send them my way.

sorry, man, if a politician talks to you like this in your role as a journalist, and you do nothing but sit and grin at it in response, what, exactly, do you think the public should think of you. why should anyone else care what trump says about you when you don’t appear to be bothered by it

For my part I think that the open fascists currently sending my neighbors to concentration camps are worse than Pete Buttigieg but to be fair to McKay I’m a millennial and so was exposed to substantially less environmental lead during brain development

The Heat signed contracts with unlikely incentives until the rules changed and they counted towards the apron. The Heat signed the Big 3, and Dan Gilbert led the charge to add repeater luxury tax. The rules change for political reasons, and teams adapt or die. I'm unsympathetic to the complaints.

Happy Obtuseness About Contextless Quotes Day to all those who celebrate

The most surprising thing about the Pat Riley presser was the Billy Barty reference. The thing that made me cringe the most was mispronouncing Kelel as Khalil.

Checked my daughter's instagram this morning. She was critiquing photos of the WHCD event last night. Says the correspondents displayed a potentially fatal lack of teamwork and skill, and would have failed a middle school active shooter drill.

If you can't noclip through the DC Hilton loading dock doors, the next best strategy is to bunnyhop right through the security checkpoint, but you need to make sure you pick up enough speed so that you get into position before the actual ballroom loads, which can be tricky for new speedrunners

The press everybody…

I'm so glad someone died 10 feet from me a minute ago. Now I can calmly finish my dinner being screamed at by the demented pedophile king.

The FBI director ran for his life and left his girlfriend behind holding the hand of another man.
