I do not understand wind

No problem, the states rights loving republicans will weigh in on Minnesota’s side

Imagine having the luxury to take a full calendar year to get over a minor time zone change

Slightly diminish a book: Moby Jerk

This is the money paragraph for me.

It's an absurd question to ask, like "what is the most beautiful flower". I think, though, that the most SIGNIFICANT working actor in the western world is Stellan Skarsgaard.

You’re telling me this one film has the Nazgul chase from Weathertop to Rivendell, the journey through the Mines of Moria, AND the Uruk-Hai attacking on the banks the Anduin?! Why are we even still making other movies?

No I don’t have any insecurities, why do you ask? Is it because of that thing I said, how whenever I’m talking with two other guys I feel like Frodo when Aragorn tells Boromir to give him back the ring on Caradhras?

This is a huge loss - a talented and remarkable man Pioneering wildlife cameraman Doug Allan dies after falling ill in Nepal www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Surely all we need to do is make a poison pill for LLMs which convinces them to say meow every time they mean now

Hey what's up Seattle we're Lotrhead and this song is called Fake Plastic Ents Is this anything

Every time my brother or I would open a fortune cookie we'd stare bemusedly at it and read "...bad luck and misfortune will follow you for the...rest of your days...?"

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

Poetry is DEAD Devon DoEsn't UnderstAn D it but likes it anyway

Could we all still be fucking excited that we can speak to anybody in the world for free. Lot of meat on that bone still I think.

I don’t really understand the push to “restore” historical artifacts which are not used and have only cosmetic damage. Like, being stolen and trampled is now part of its history. Just like if she’d been killed wearing it, you wouldn’t buff out the sword damage.

Nobody should ever remake Groundhog Day but if they do I hope it’s about Jeb(!)

The Minneapolis Massacre. Keep saying it.

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

Life’s a funny fuckin thing @ityslmemes.com www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Funny how the right went from “always make sure the government knows THEY work for YOU” to “DO NOT QUESTION THE GOD KING” in like one Olympic cycle

Epstein? More like DoubleAlbumStein at this point amirite

I bring this to your attention not to say anything about a man who always wants be to talked about but more broadly: this is why I hate it when people say things like “it’s 3 times smaller” or “it’s 5 times less expensive”

Sturgill Simpson please shave your head so people will compare me to somebody other than Moby

Oprah Pursues Dr. Phil On Ship Through Arctic https://theonion.com/oprah-pursues-dr-phil-on-ship-through-arctic/

Reading about the teens challenging Australia's social media ban for under-16s and this might be the most embarrassing thing a teenager has ever said

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

@lazyandentitled.bsky.social I famously know nothing about bball but how I KNEW @thecorlew.bsky.social was picking creature from the black lagoon 3rd in his monster lineup

If the right can deflect and ignore every meaningful question thrown their way for decades, surely the left can start doing that with the bullshit smears

This is such an interesting and entertaining book, I can't recommend it enough. I didn't think I could be more enthralled by Deadwood but this proved me wrong.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

George Carlin was always diabolically insightful, but never more so than in his “I kinda like it when a lotta people die” summary of ennui-ridden Americans and their news outlets (bizarrely recorded the day before 9/11, so not released during his lifetime). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Kinda...

World's greatest podcast @missiontozyxx.bsky.social has a running gag in its Sci fi setting that paper is the future. And with all this AI bullshit I think they're actually 100% right

@thecorlew.bsky.social yo do you have that poem where it's like "I went to the grocery store and it was political"?

I accidentally clicked on Skype in my start menu at work and now my life is ruined

Of course Andor also gets The Force right. It's most interesting as just a kind of Osteopathy for the universe.

@bcmerchant.bsky.social as always hitting the exact notes you can feel but not quite hear yet

“If you’re not willing to risk your conscience then surrender and be done with it”

My vote is for Czech novelist Gofuch Yerselvs

There’s only so much one can notice in a single Spring

A colleague emailed me today to flag the fact that the superb Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson ended a quotidian insurance opinion with an unusually introspective conclusion.

Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman are 100% the most beautiful people on TV right now and that’s like the least important reason you should be watching Severance right now.

It’s amazing just how much of a chimpanzee is dedicated to the butthole

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

I have a nugget of a thought about how the way the wife deflects his emotional outreach towards a reminder of his underperforming team is an unwitting summary of how American sports are used to keep people in a Truman show -esque state of oblivion but I'm too dumb to articulate it better than this

This is feeling like the start of THE BATMAN (2022)

@atgbeer.bsky.social holy shit you've got some bangers come in. Any Thomas hardy left??

@ityslmemes.com in honour of Quincy Jones could we get a movement going to get the lawyer from Brian’s Hat to read out the entire Vulture interview with him

Glaxmar the Horror (who learned English solely via reading poets featured on @thelinebreak.bsky.social): …your anguish as you languish in service to me will wither in the shadow of gratitude to me for stopping you double dribbling to extinction. Bob: Ohohooo, my goodness… Chris: Another sick chap

My hot take is if you hate raw broccoli then you just hate food
