This is a good video for anyone wondering why the US as the #1 producer of oil would want Venezuela's oil. The answer: our refineries want their oil, not our oil.

Can we please just move on to green energy and stop invading countries and mass murdering for this shit?
The real reason Venezuela matters

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

I have literally more ideas than I will be able to complete in my lifetime. My problem is not lack of ideas, my problem is lack of infrastructure to make writing a viable career. AI is definitely not helping that problem by sucking up resources and flooding the zone with garbage.
It’s always just so funny to me that AI using “writers“ often defend it with but how else are you meant to come up with ideas?? Like that’s what tells you that you weren’t really meant to be a writer, you have none.

This weekend:
•A mass shooter killed 2 at Brown University
•2 mass shooters killed 16 Jewish people at Bondi Beach
•Netanyahu killed 5 more Palestinians in Gaza, totaling 379 killed since “ceasefire”

There are forces working hard to get us to hate each other. It is very important we reject hate

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

That's what annoys me about bad mystery box.

"I'm going to manipulate your human desire to solve puzzles, but it's worth it." Fine.

"I'm going to manipulate your human desire to solve puzzles to get you to keep watching." That's just blipverts that (maybe) don't *literally* make my head explode.

Dave Portnoy might be one of the most universally loathed men in America and I still think we don't clown on him enough.

The Leafs PP has like the 3rd worst PP in the league a lot of the ‘what happened to Matthews?’ video montages can just be summed up by ‘the powerplay is dog shit’

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

There is not a single more magical football team than Sunderland over the last 2 years. Defies all logic. A lifetime of insane moments in like a 14 month period. Wild.

Ya know I’ve been pretty pessimistic about politics on the left last decade but this is the shit that will make me optimistic. Have to follow through but this is the message I’d fight for.

Sure I’m optimistic to a fault about the Leafs but I wasn’t when Jason Blake and Matt Stajan were their first liners. I was as doom and gloom as anyone then. There was no fixing that garbage. Bad roster / bad coach / bad youth dev.

They’ve got star power now / decent youth in Cowan and Knies.

This game stinks, it does but like we have got to stop the having this existential crisis every time the Leafs lose a game. They’re missing two top 4 defenders / both goalies and the oilers have 2 ping pong goals + leafs own goal lol.

I promise losing to the Oilers in week 2 of December isn’t going to mean anything. Stinks but you’re losing to a good team.

The reason you defend civil liberties is not because it is popular (it is never popular) but because if the government can deport you to a foreign gulag without trial then it doesn't matter how popular the rest of your policy platform is.
