Between the Star Trek and the Figure Skating I’ve been feeling FEELINGS tonight

I saw the first episodes of Starfleet Academy and realised “Markus would like this”, so we’re a few episodes behind as I now watch it With Him, but we just watched the Klingon episode and I think we finally have Good Star Trek again

Metal Gear Solid 4 finally escaping the PS3 is fantastic news. I can't wait to find out how they've adapted the bit where Otacon tells you to change the disc but oh no wait they're on PlayStation 3

Starmer saying that he’s won every fight he’s gotten into is very funny bc famously, the last Prime Minister to talk about how they were good at fighting resigned the next day and is now a byword for their party’s contemptuous incompetence

We’re watching the NBC feed of the Super Bowl (thank you DAZN I guess) and I’m not sure which is funnier to me: the ads or the making everything bigger than it needs to be

like “UP NEXT: COIN TOSS”

[Markus doing an Emanuel Macron voice] For Sure

Markus is with me watching the Super Bowl but he has a headache so he’s wearing sunglasses and it’s like I have my very own Emanuel Macron

Britain is a typical, developed democracy. Elections take place in an environment where the general public have a range of political parties to choose from, operating in a pluralistic media landscape, with totally free, secret ballots, after which the Conservatives win.

Happy Bandcamp Friday! I tend to recommend buying stuff on CD because physical media is great and you can turn it into things your phone/iPod/smart toilet can play but I've found some stuff I've streamed hard to get that way. Support your fav artists!

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

In a scathing order, a judge orders the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father.

“Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.”
