Ukrainian drones hit the largest oil refinery in Russia, causing a fuel crisis across the country. A piece dropping tomorrow traces where this crisis could go next. And yesterday's piece on the intra-party battle playing out in Michigan's Senate primary is worth catching up on too!

Saving that for another day

Me watching Platner’s dropout video

Thing I still really like in Aliens is that Bishop goes, "Yeah those 1As always were twitchy" and then he's just right, he's actually totally chill, stand up, and cool

No worries. Not trying to yuck your yum. Sorry

How the fuck are the go gos from 45 years ago?!?!

The Federation is basically one long reaction to the slavery, genocide and mass murder surrounding Earth by going, "No, you will be better, at phaser point"

I point to one of my favorite Star Trek: Enterprise episodes wherein, within a few weeks of Earth, there are aliens that use other aliens as a way to produce free chemicals, they just...do that and the VUlcans and Tellerites and Andorians simply cannot be assed to stop them

Yeah, like, uh.... Star Trek... Uh... It's not exactly the happy slappy utopia everyone says it is, if you're outside the borders of the Federation, you are in a very cut throat, harsh, brutal, grim universe

I think this might be a case of folks forgetting that star trek villain factions are pretty hardcore more than anything lmao

as I said, they're not even as bad as the Dominion! Their soldiers are volunteers and not VAT GROWN CLONE SOLDIERS who are kept in thrall with religious programming and FUCKING DRUGS

The t'au are your average mildly morally dubious 4x game space country, which is why sticking them in the setting where everything including the bedrock of reality itself is bugfuck insane crazy dark evil is really, really funny

The issue with "oh the tau are so IMPERIALIST!!!! ohh they'd be a BAD guy in STAR TREK" Is like, no they wouldn't be, man

I like how she

In this case it's more about this presumably being prey content, so you're seeing these old bosses being dead while getting quests to hunt them at the same time. It would be like if you got a quest to go kill Arthas in ICC right now without any time travel or memory explanation.

They might still be huntable but considering this is a thing that's probably just for the sake of game mechanics. Arthas has been dead in-lore for over 20 years but I can still go farm for Invincible cuz removing content for the sake of keeping things lore-accurate would be silly lol

I found a strange area on the Coiled Isle that appears to be related to prey. It's a crypt seemingly haunted by the ghosts of the season one prey targets (which is odd since they're all still hunt-able in season two).

The next time someone upsets you, tell them to focus…… Fuck off because they’re stupid!!!🤣

“Can you get McConnell on the phone now?” @ScottJenningsKY: *Nervous laugh* 🤔

And his millions of MAGA followers will sagely nod their heads in agreement

❤️❤️❤️ So glad people are digging this arc!

For one thing, ladies are working class. But also, like people often act like this shit is new but it’s nakedly echoing the way Nazis cracked back in the liberal and leftists and women and queers

Doc has done it numerous times on my show and in at least one of the VB audio commentaries. We’ve all done it at some point. It heals.

I definitely thought that was Hal Lublin doing the impression. I must've heard him doing it somewhere, right? There's no way he hasn't at some point.

The brilliant @jacksonpublick.bsky.social in action...

It's such a spot-on Tom Carvel impression.

Did you know that for one very brief, very magical moment in time, there were VENTURE BROS. ice cream cakes from Carvel?

DARK, CRUEL, NARCISSISTIC: “Trump denied disaster aid to 4 Democratic-led states (NJ/NY/MA/RI) in a move raising new Q’s if he’s injecting political motivations into decisions (spoiler: he is!)… 2 days earlier he approved aid for 6 Republican-led states.” www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

It’s the least he can do

Spot on.

And quit living like an asshole

Pfft. We all know comics spring fully-formed from the forehead of Zeus.

Tiny gripe: Got sent a 20 minute youtube video, a long appreciation of a comic series I drew: "Superior Foes of Spider-man." 51K views! The video is made of screenshots, mostly Nick's writing & my art, and not once in those 20 minutes is there any mention of who wrote or drew the comic. Wild.

yeah, it's the least bad part of this shitshow

I'm an Obsidian fan and this sucks absolute shit, but what's going on a Id is lunacy.

This absolutely sucks, man I'm sure the people who survive at Obsidian are going to work as hard as they can to make a great game, but god, this sucks

The case for impeaching four Supreme Court justices over birthright citizenship

UPDATE — KENTUCKY’s @GovAndyBeshear: “I am requesting Sen. McConnell provide an update on his health status. Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians.” Mitch has been hospitalized since June 14th. Read it: www.kentucky.gov/Pages/Activi...

I wrote a powerful new attribute-display web component in less than 15 minutes. I did not use AI. I started with an example component that displayed something completely different. Then I used Perl and Emacs. Spells are more powerful than demons.

Down payment on a house right there…

The phone company owed me $1.39 from a closed account so they sent it to me on a pre-paid visa. They might as well have sent me a picture of my money.

"The Cursed Woman" By Nicolas-François Octave Tassaert, 1859. She doesn't look cursed to me. Quite the opposite.

What's remarkable is that, when you go look up Tassaert, so little of his work is horny. It's all portraits and domestic scenes. And right in the middle of his portfolio is THIS. Like, dude, were you commissioned for a lot of this and this is the only one that survived/leaked?

the best time to leave X was at pretty much any point before today. The next best time is right now.

In a letter to the vice president, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson slammed the Trump administration's probe into the city's 2020 presidential election.
