Hi, reasonable obsever here. He doesn’t come off as angry (unless one interprets “disagreement” as “anger”)

Happy to help!

The era of Mullet Superman was so weird

You’re rich in Arkham games, my brother.

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 3d

You can never be too rich or have too many Batman games.

I literally used this comic to pick what chain restaurants to eat at in Japan and this was a great decision.

In my mind the most shocking revelation of the (superb) Peacemaker season 2 finale was that Big Belly Burger sells hard alcohol

I honestly think most of this is Snyder Cut people wearing a very obvious paper mask because they think it’s a lever.

Intentional. Cena is reportedly very type A about grammar and spelling and typing it that way in the scene just about killed him

“God knows, I’ve had some rough fuckin’ years” would make a great epitaph.

The lifehack here is to look it up on simple.wikipedia.org instead of en.

simple.wikipedia.org

No, it’s not true. Hope that helps. Have a nice day.

If you wanna keep arguing with the voices in your head be my guest dude.

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 7d

didn’t think I’d ever actually run into a dude whose POV was “baby why you gotta make him hit you” but I guess it was just a matter of time.

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 7d

Oh yeah definitely for sure fascists have a well known track record of never attacking people who just comply with them in advance, really great point.

I think a lot about how you give the Japanese people buckwheat and they invent delicious soba noodles, but you give my people, Russian Jews, the same food and they’re like “eh fuck it I guess we can boil it into awful tasting gruel”

Zach Weinersmith @zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 7d

Almost every Jewish deli food, I can make a case for. Like, knish is a carb bomb that can be made tasty, and the mustard is right there. Kugel? It's not a top ten desert, but when good it's like bread pudding with noodles.

But how are kasha varnishkes restaurant food?

Oh so you hate dogs, huh.

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 8d

What action was actually taken? I missed it.

Get yourself a partner who looks at you the way billionaires look at responding to a huge Bari Weiss fuck-up by promoting her.

A judge saying "You are an officer of the court" is the legal version of your dad saying "Don't make me pull this car over."

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Karin Immergut hears emergency arguments as California and Oregon seek to block President Trump's deployment of federalized California National Guard troops to Portland. 🧵

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 9d

I hope this dude has his girlfriend (you wouldn't have met her, she's from Canada) post the docket.

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 9d

(Maybe I am in fact looking at the wrong thread?)

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 9d

Serious question: Who made that argument? I looked at the linked thread and my charitable reading was that it wasn't "Don't insult LLMs because it hurts them as conscious entities" but "How you talk about objects is an indication of you'd talk about people." Whether that's true or not is separate.

It's worth reading even if in places it hasn't aged well.

(I read this 30 years ago and it was not until JUST NOW that I had the epiphany "Wait a second, what kind of TERRIBLE COP just takes a bite out of a random-ass raw potato for no reason")

Peter Berger @peterb.bsky.social · 11d

Actually looking more closely it looks like the horseweed in my backyard.
