Sometimes America is so beautiful it just makes you want to cry. From beauty.

Every single thing I read that he wrote makes me remember the post that was like "Ross ...you should not.... Dou that"

while Ross Douthat is in the news today for hating women, let's all remember the time he really, really hated a woman for the crime of "being attracted to Ross Douthat" so much that he called her a "chunky Reese Witherspoon"

that little hair sweep? the pastor is hot???

thank god you're here just in time, carnivorous death ball!

well you see, video games made noises and had pictures that parents didn't understand and therefore were uncomfortable with, where ChatGPT merely becomes a person's only confidant and coaches them to suicide cult leader-style in TEXT, which makes it basically studying

too much work. there were numbers and everything

What if I just zoned out in front of a city builder for the next six hours. What then

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Was reading up on a new Square Enix game and it’s set in the mystical kingdom of what I call the city when I’m drunk

The most unrealistic part of it was that the government had to offer $5 extra for people to sign up for Nightwatch.

anyways get gta6 the fuck off my timeline. How about we all just ignore it. Let's ignore geoff and his stupid awards too! We could all be talking about literally anything else and it would be more worthwhile. Have you played Baby Steps? We should be talking about Baby Steps!

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.
