Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

Need for Speed: The Run

I was part of the marketing team and quit halfway into the project because it was clearly going to bomb. I needed to see the finish product.. and I was right.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

there’s no extreme left in the United States and if there is, it’s tiny and has less than zero political power

David Pakman @davidpakman.bsky.social · 1d

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

15 years of every C suite going “we need to fire the skilled workers and do more internet” and this is how every business works now.

Wife did a gravel order from Lowe’s for me to pick up. I drive to the pick up dock. Guy with a radio comes out. I show him the order receipt. He radios inside. They tell him to tell me to tell my wife to download the app so that she can check in on it to let them know I’m here to pick up the order.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

My friend who knows I once recruited a QB named Ethan Grunkemeyer: was the Grunk there?

Penn State's attention at quarterback now turns to Ethan Grunkemeyer, the redshirt freshman from the Columbus suburbs. he's been limited to a couple cameos during his time with the Nittany Lions. that should change under the lights at Iowa

Bains is the least of my concerns on the PK, what I'm a little more worried about is why Boeser is out there killing penalties

I mean the premise is complete bullshit; nobody is betting against her, she's being backed by billionaires who want to turn CBS into a Trump lapdog, there's no way she can fail in that regard

she has no experience or credentials for the role she's been handed, but no, I wouldn't bet against someone playing with house money

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 2d

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Surprisingly, this stick to the McDick isn't the reason Tyler Myers got a penalty. #Canucks

It’s got to be infuriating for Americans that in addition to the fascist takeover, these fascists are just really, really dumb.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/
