America: where it is always The Hunger Games
America: where it is always The Hunger Games
Watching two contestants compete on live television for 100k in scholarship money as fans cheer them on because nothing is more entertaining than two people fighting not to have the crushing debt that comes with getting a college degree in the US

At least they had bass and were in stereo
I feel like I would have been okay with public boomboxes in a way I am not with phones but suspect the quality of music coming from a boombox would have been significantly better

Once you realize Tolkien wants every heroic person or place name to be cretic (long-short-long syllable), you start seeing Tolkien names everywhere. Labrador. Pinkypie. Scoobydoo. Macklemore.

It’s going to crater reality
Honestly, in a year or so, it's going to be so incredibly hard to tell what's real and what's not in videos of this sort that it's going to ruin and crater that entire experience, unless platforms put in robust checks and limits on posting stupid fake Gen-AI shit.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

People like this helped:
Farrell, newly sober, on first meeting Gleeson:
‘He said ‘willya have a drink?’ & opened his hotel fridge ‘I’ve still or sparkling’. In that moment, I fell in love with him as he had gone out & bought them. I thought ‘that’s a fella who’ll look after you’
