the restaurant was playing "Golden" from Kpop Demon Hunters as we were finishing lunch so I started telling my wife about this meme (see alt text for context), and about five minutes later as I was finishing my explanation a white lady drives by blasting... "Golden" from Kpop Demon Hunters

Cloudflare is just one guy holding two cables together. The entire internet runs through them. He is being electrocuted 24/7 but holds on because he knows people need the world wide web. When he passes out from pain & exhaustion we get 404 errors

My version of this is that "stronger together" is the perfect distillation of the American democratic ideal and we wasted it on the goddamn 2016 Clinton campaign
It sucks that American Canto could be a cool title for something else

if going to h-mart is wrong I don't want to be right
saw the term "wypipo" in the wild and discourse by harvard-educated people about whether white people are allowed to go to h-mart and i have never been so relieved to see something which annoys me so much

Here at OpenAI, we're totally revolutionizing the way dipshits write demand letters to companies they think owe them money

It's extremely important to hold the line on this stuff and let yourself look like a human. I hate hate *hate* what the apps are doing to beauty standards, m&f alike. Don't get hair plugs. Don't get botox. Don't even whiten your teeth. Every little concession moves the standard the wrong direction
it is incredible that after hundreds of years of body dysmorphia, it took me less than four years of incel / PUA media for men to catch up

This is true and also the strikeout paradox drives me nuts, not mathematically or anything, it just seems cosmically unfair
Teams just pay for Ks. It’s the most predictable, reliable way to prevent runs and being able to miss bats with spin is something that ages better than nearly anything else—velo can wane but wicked break can last forever.

This is not a comment on Katz, about whom I know nothing, but this makes three additions to the MLB coaching staff who were fired by other orgs in 2025
The Astros are hiring former Chicago White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz as a pitching coach on their staff, source tells @theathletic.com. Katz will replace Bill Murphy, who left for the Pittsburgh Pirates last month.

There's a house in my neighborhood with a security system that yells "HI, YOU ARE ON CAMERA" to anyone walking past on the sidewalk, and I truly think building a 20-foot concrete wall would be less antisocial

This is the funniest reaction to the Trump-Mamdani meeting. RWers were mad about the optics, lefties were cackling at the optics. Meanwhile everyone gets that Trump just loves being flattered and the bromance won't last more than three hours. But Grim, the dunce, actually took it seriously lmao

I always felt liked this dynamic worked a different direction pre-Andor, showing how valuable ass-kickers like Leia and Han were to the Alliance after years of dithering wieners calling the shots
It's accidental, but, thanks to Andor, Mon Mothma's actions in Rogue One where she launches an autogolpe on Yavin IV and seizes power gain a lot of notes of "oh, I totally get now why Luthen wanted to shoot half of y'all."

Ok this is really embarrassing but I forgot when Skinner uses it later in the episode and he clearly means "of reasonably fair quality." I apologize and concede the argument entirely

I have an insane bone to pick. People use "cromulent" as if it's interchangeable with "acceptable" but I think its meaning is more particular than that. It's "acceptable" as in "permissible within a set of rules", not as in "of reasonably fair quality."

So this is not a cromulent use of "cromulent"

Layman's guess here, based on these filings, is that she said something like "by indicting him, we're going to make him defend his egregious conduct, he's going to have to take the stand and show how he didn't lie under oath" or something. idk
Today's motion to dismiss includes a new hint about whatever it was (redacted so far in public filings) Halligan told the grand jury that seemed to imply Comey had no Fifth Amendment right not to testify or bear the burden to establish his own innocence.
