they're never going to stop lying, they'll never stop saying that Hamas was against the ceasefire, they'll never stop blaming the genocide on its victims. There will be no consequences for these people unless they're dragged from their homes and put in front of a military tribunal

With rock, it’s highly dependent on the subgenre. Depending on which one you’re dealing with, it covers the full spectrum from “doesn’t matter, singer could be talking gibberish” to “the lyrics are basically the entire point”

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I don’t think it’s a fair charge against Andy, but it’s a commonly-cited one

Kershaw really shit on his legacy by deciding he needed to get on the record with the wackest, worst, laziest bigotry right as the curtain was coming down, and it will be tough to remember him any other way. Absolutely one of the greats, but no one can just be normal (or just be quiet) anymore.

Now that the Deloitte report, about the government's unlawful administration of mutual obligations, is making international headlines, it's worth looking at what's actually in it (apart from AI slop) and WHY it was actually commissioned

They are, and the consequences are extremely dire, but that pales in comparison to the much bigger problem: we don't have a legitimate president of the United States right now. What we are to make of his enablers and supporters who have thereby also delegitimized themselves is a secondary problem.

I think people seriously underestimate what it means to say that the Supreme Court is “illegitimate”, and what the consequences of saying it (and meaning it) are.

“She plays to an audience of 200 people,” one Hollywood executive with ties to Weiss told Variety. “It just happens to be that audience is made up of people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Ackman. The superrich f------ love her.”

In hindsight, it's incredible that there weren't more tactical blunders in a World Series that was between Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone

Bari Weiss is the American news equivalent of when Vince McMahon would give the megastar push to a 7-foot-tall guy who was barely flexible enough to walk, couldn’t string a sentence together, and got no reactions from the crowd

A bad joke I heard in my SLP master's program:

A guy interviews for a job. Everything's going great until they ask about a two-month gap on his resume.

He says "oh, that's when I went to Yale." Impressed, they hire him on the spot.

He drives home and yells, "Honey! I got the yob!"

I really hope Dave just lets Kershaw eat all this shit. Just leave him out there forever. And have this be the last game for him.

I hope the Mariners win on Friday to really highlight the contrast, but the second the ALCS is set, non-Torontonians have a duty to remind us down here why that city deserves to constantly choke at sports

On the one hand, half my feed is just people dunking on my team and I hate it

On the other hand, it’s probably a good sign that the sports side of this place is growing

Volpe was our annual “Oops! It took three months to diagnose his injury!” guy and we responded by giving him cortisone. Not saying he’d be Superman this series if he was healthy, but I can’t help thinking it was a factor in how he played
