Obviously, it's the straight man podcast host who is the loser trash in this story. But also, his complaints are very outdated. As a white woman with blue hair, "blue hair Twitter" doesn't exist anymore. The blue-hair-white-woman stereotype demographic doesn't hang out at Nazi gatherings tyvm.
yeahhhhhhh. assuming this is all real, oh brother

These are incredibly mild and reasonable demands that should have support from every human being.
Minnesota’s coalition is demanding:
1: ICE must leave Minnesota now.
2: Renee Good’s killer, Jonathan Ross, must be held legally accountable.
3: No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget.
“These are moral common sense for a state that values truth, freedom, and life.”

So I tried to explain to my offline husband about the bus kidnapping from yesterday, which naturally led to me teaching him about the Twitter rice truck, and then I had to go revisit it myself (tysm @nameshiv.bsky.social for porting the thread here!). But now I'm concerned I really am Too Online 🤔

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

After the NFL reg season ended, I saw a post w a HC interview tracker that showed teams as rows and candidates as columns. I searched and searched today and cannot find the post or the person who made it. Can anyone help me out? @minakimes.bsky.social @dirtbagqueer.rocks @coachfinstock.bsky.social

Adding Montgomery to my list of places to visit when I can travel again, specifically because of this article and museums/monuments it mentions.
In December, I traveled to Montgomery to visit the Legacy Museum, which traces the story of Black America from slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration. I wanted to understand how the museum & its affiliated sites were operating in a moment where so much of the history they present is under attack.
The Power of Private Museums
The Equal Justice Initiative’s historical sites in Montgomery, Alabama, show what’s possible when history isn’t subject to federal funding cuts or executive orders.

This is why Dwarf Fortress is still such a great game 20+ years after its initial release. So intricate, every character has a rich and full life.
To create a living world, creatures and NPCs should never be doing…nothing.
Even video games can have this issues where NPCs are just waiting for you to talk to them or kill them.
They are eating, training, sleeping, playing.
They are alive

Fucking finally. This is the 3rd dem I've seen saying something like this in the last 48 hours. We need more lawmakers saying it *and then following through on it*

Mike Tomlin should've won like 8 COTY awards. He's the best I've ever seen. He did more with less than anyone in the history of the game. If he couldn't beat you with his offense or his defense, he'd still make the game fucking miserable for you anyway.

OK that pick 6 has to be the last play of Rodgers career. That is too fucking perfect and hilarious. Run out the clock.

Totally disagree with Aikman. This loss does not undo Steelers fan excitement over winning the division last week. Yes, it hurts. Yes, we want a playoff win. Yes, we want another Super Bowl.
But that last 10 min of the Baltimore game was so exciting to watch and so satisfying to get the win.

Aaron Rodgers looks funnier getting tackled than any other football player but I think that’s because he’s our age and that’s just how we’d look - terrified, tired, probably high
