People like coffee because it tastes good and helps them wake up. Hope this helps 👍

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Hey guys, bad news about my upcoming appearance on Brightsiders. On the one hand, I wish this would have happened before I got on the plane and missed my brother’s wedding. On the other hand, we don’t hold grudges in the Bright community. It’s not what Daryl and Nick would have wanted.

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

The average Gen Z man hasn’t read a full book since middle school but says Blood Meridian is his favorite novel because he watched a four hour long YouTube video called something like “The Most Disturbing Novel You’ve Never Heard Of.”

This doesn’t have anything to do with setting, but the way. Silence is a Lonesome Dove book. True Grit is a Shogun book.

“My Dad’s favorite novel is The Great Gatsby” that’s a Lonesome Dove book, idiot.

Do NOT come here and try and suggest another dad novel. All dad novels are emanations from the two primordial dad novels: Lonesome Dove and Shogun.

When your first child is born, all new fathers need to choose whether they’re going to be a Lonesome Dove dad or a Shogun dad. You shouldn’t be allowed to leave the hospital until you declare it on a form. Ideally, you will have read it before the birth of your child.

$30 for a nice button down seems perfectly reasonable?

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2d

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Same energy as that cop that had a mental breakdown at McDonalds because they asked her to pull forward in the drive through.

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.

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

*Potential Infinite Wealth Spoilers*

I’ve replayed LaD twice but every time I think about playing Infinite Wealth again, I don’t because I have to spend half of it playing through a Kiryu story that goes nowhere.

John Calvin’s Strongest Soldier @waveturtlejake.bsky.social · 8d

I’m just so bored with Kiryu at this point. I don’t believe RGG will let him grow or develop in interesting ways anymore. I’ll buy Kiwami 3 because I’m a Yakuza sucker but I can’t think of a worse use of the studio’s time than revisiting Kiryu’s least memorable adventure.

It’s so weird how they took this big swing with LaD 7, it paid off better than anyone expected and the entire community embraced Ichiban, and then the studio backpedaled.
