Between the two I think I like bdubs more? but not necessarily b/c of a big diff in quality, it just suits my palate better

I have, despite the universe's attempts to make it not happen, finally tried Wing Stop for the first time.

It was fine, I guess. The dry rub I got was better than their buffalo sauce, IMO.

I didn't really like Mad TV but for whatever reason Cabana Chat lives large in my memory. Dixie Wetsworth is just Goals for me, in my late 40s.

Fox Harper @foxharper.bsky.social · 18h

I had no idea there was a Cabana Chat skit on an ep of Mad TV where they actually got Phyllis Diller on. Amazing.

Yeah. Hades 2 leaning into "see we can make a challenging/hard roguelite" is probably one of its weakest aspects, to me.

I've heard every "we have to hit them where it hurts" argument in the book, and none of them are beating the allegations that people just want to make fun of fat bodies.

You are telling every fat person in your life that they disgust you, that their bodies are comical or degenerate or useless. You are telling every fat person in your life you don't respect them.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

The only reason I'm able to do that is that a bunch of FF14 bosses use the EXACT same mechanic so I'm used to it and even then I fuck it up 2-3 times out of 10

When I tell people that the current government seeks to more or less eliminate higher education wholesale, I am not being pithy or funny.

It is unfortunately the 7th week of the semester when all my “yeah let’s do this” energy for my job has been used up entirely and now I just want to lie here and die.

God we did this show in high school drama a thousand years ago and yet this song remains imprinted in my head.

And I think, somewhat understandably, from the outside, it "looks easy" -- "so you just [watch TV/play games/read books/etc.] and then talk about it?"
