Uncle Roger was funny for a bit, but has spawned a very annoying culture of "foodies" who are obsessed with "authenticity" to a point of being annoying and kinda racist.

vote for Democrats or shut up forever

I think Dave Roberts was masterful in last year's post season, but I think the only mistake he did make was giving into the noise and not putting Conforto on the post-season roster. The man was playing very well in the weeks leading up to the post season.

I love the toxicity of Americans on social media calling Elaine Gu a traitor while Chinese people in my WeChats call Alysa Liu a traitor. I don't want to go into the dregs of Weibo to see any more.

Wayne Gretzky will probably try to go to the White House now too because MAGA types have no shame and stand for nothing.

After ICE, every DOGE dipshit should be persecuted.

MAGA are just miserable humans who work hard to find misery and hate in everything they encounter. There's always something to complain about with them. It's just an existence characterized by grievance farming. It is critical that people on the left don't fall into the same misery death cycle.

It is probably less of a hassle to get a tourist visa for China than it is to come into the US if you're not translucent skinned. The fuck is Hasan smoking? China hasn't been closed to the world for a few decades now.

Health influencers are single handedly making the lives of every person with an eating disorder or weight problem worse. They mostly just make shit up, and their methods are exhibit 1 in why "common sense" is just code for "I'm lazy."

Every time a politician says "common sense [policy]" it makes my skin crawl just a bit.

I'm very happy for Elena Meyers Taylor. You can see on her face how much this meant to her.

This country does not have a parliamentary system of government. There will never be a lasting 3rd party. It's not a question of political will. It's a question of math.

Annual PSA. Chinese New Years is tomorrow. Which means all babies born in 2026 through today are still snakes. This year Chinese New Years is particularly late, so there will be a lot of snake tail babies.

No redemption. No grace. Straight to hell for everyone in this admin.

Platner is exhibit a in the idea that "working class" is a much an aesthetic to the left as it is to the right.

And this is why a populist uprising that the left fantasize about will not go the way we think it will go. I want progressive policies, but years of canvassing has enlightened me to the real unifying factor of the populace: most of them are fucking morons.

Rewatching the original trilogy really highlights how badly the CinemaSins style of "criticism" has cooked people's brains. If we nitpick the og trilogy the same way people who don't want to admit they're just sexist nitpick the sequels, none of the movies would hold up.

Progressive candidates, we have got to be better at 2 things: 1. Hiring better people. 2. Understanding that you're not a super special awesome savant who's being held down. Sometimes you just lose. If you haven't learned A, then sometimes, you, your campaign, and/or your people just suck.

One concept almost everyone who doesn't work logistics fails to understand is scale. Things that function great on a small scale can quickly become a nightmare scaled up. The more moving parts an operation has, the more likely something breaks down catastrophically.

There was a lady at my first job who didn't like me. Like this was a woman in her 40's who went out of her way to pick on an 18 y/o kid. She found out my gf at that time was still 17 because she's a few months younger than me. So she tried to get me fired. Called me a pedo every chance she got.

Last night's super bowl was a great watch if you're a former defensive lineman at any level. That Seahawks Defense was just finding new, artistic ways to feed Drake Maye grass.

This too is gender.

The haters said that the Pats were a schedule merchant. That Drake Maye was a fraud who was exposed by good defenses all post season. That the Pats only won because the opposing teams were either critically injured or had even worse offenses. Shout out to the haters. They were spot on.

I'll say this about the Seahawks. It was a mistake not to run it on the one 11 years ago. But this time around, they don't have Marshawn Lynch, but they do have JSN. Throwing it would not be a bad option.

The dumbest collisions of the nerdy fandoms I'm a part of is always when my Star Trek friends try to argue that a Federation fleet would beat a [Star Wars faction] fleet and it's like "lol, no" I'm a big fan of both, but while Star Trek is Science Fiction, Star Wars is Final Fantasy in Space.

A lot of people involved with this mess will need to be persecuted in the next administration.

I will put this out there... every person named in the Epstein Files has tried to deflect and discredit the files... except for Bill Clinton who basically said "release the whole thing cowards" I can respect that.

Hey Ricky, Silence is a political stance you insulated, privileged dipshit.

Contrapoints. Undefeated.

There's a difference between mocking someone's natural appearance vs mocking people who get Mar a Lago face. The former is not something people can control, and we should not body shame. The latter is a deliberate choice and we should absolutely mock the freaks who choose that to get that look.

Fund ICE, but only to keep the agency existing as a humiliation monument. They will operate one building and the only thing in that building will be Greg Bovino desperately trying but failing to reach a bottle of Rogaine on the top shelf as a group of brown people laugh and throw peanuts at him.

Early Blexas indicators are spiking the hopium.

"They gave out Chick Fil A gift cards at work. I'm not going to use them because I don't want to give them my business." -Overheard today

Too many people spend their entire lives being professional activists while having no idea how to actually scale.

-Finally get the normies engaged. -Rage against the regime is at incandescent levels. -Piss it all away because generating clout for the activist class is more important than exposing government tyranny. Even when walmarts are firebombed, Contrapoints remain undefeated.

People think the way to defeat intelligence gathering is to try to hide everything. The better way is to flood the zone. Leaks in the piping are easier to hide if a garden hose is flooding the house.

Reform ICE, but it's just keeping the agency in existing where its only purpose is to maintain a shame museum where Greg Bovino is condemned to endlessly try but fail to reach things on the top shelves of grocery aisles.

The Institute of Culinary Education should probably rebrand just to save on the PR costs they may incur having to repeatedly distance themselves from the gestapo.

There's very little tangible action that Schumer and Jeffries can take that would be meaningful without the help of Republicans. This is true. This is the reality of being in the minority in the US. But for fucks sake the one thing they *can* do is create damning political theater for the R's.

Basil and Contrapoints remain undefeated on this app

Doing delivery driving in LA, I have to say that the wealthy people living in LA suburbs absolutely deserve the reputation(derogatory) they have

Josh Allen does not get enough flack for not being able to win the AFC this year.

ICE Delenda Est

Boycotting businesses is a good thing. Harassing delivery drivers even after they told you is not.

Very Trumpy lady I know made her entire personality about "stopping pedophiles" in that very useless, counterproductive q-anon way. She accused one of my interns of grooming because his girlfriend was 17. To note, while he was 18, he's only 2 months older than her. She has been *silent*

Gavin Newsom could be so good if he wasn't such a terrible person. Dude is very good at playing the game, he just can't decide who he wants to play for because he wants to triangulate maximum winshares. He's the Kevin Durant of politicians.

Vote blue no matter who is a good policy when you get to the general election. At that point, it's too late. There are no more off ramps. One person will hold the levers of power no matter what you do. At that point, it's time for damage control so you can live to fight another day.

This is a Super Bowl caliber defense with a drunk Thanksgiving day family backyard throwaround caliber offense.

The Chinese American community will need to self evaluate after this. There is a reason other minorities look at us with distrust. Too many of us personify the adage of "got mine, fuck you." There is a severe racism problem in our community. We see ourselves as minorities only when convenient.

The fact that this is only a 1 score game is astounding.
