It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

So happy for the Mariners. They're the closest thing I have to a second team in MLB. Of course, surviving this game means they're going to be steamrolled by the Blue Jay's, but baby steps...

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.

The original came out when I was 11 and I liked it then. But then again I was a middle school dork who liked Star Wars way better anyway

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

its so funny to feed your body stuff like Hard Seltzer and Smart Ones and Cheez-It and then act like it's betraying you when you reach the outcome you've requested

So cool that my tip got turned into an episode of one of my favorite podcasts! Listen to it before your next trip to West Covina. (Yes, this ep is on the paid tier of their Patreon, but the price is worth it for many hours of cheap entertainment)

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories

Zelda Williams urges fans to stop sending AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:

“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”
