Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Having kids is sorta like being a forum moderator in that people are always trying to skirt around the edges of the rules and then rub it in or act outraged when they think they’ve found some kind of loophole.

Leo XIV was a bishop in Peru for 20 years so it is more probable than not that he is the first Pope to know who Goku is.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen Fred Durst in an A24 movie, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

I've written a one page patch for the new D&D Players Manual where I solve the problem of people's campaigns grinding to a halt because they can't schedule a game.
