To bring things full circle: A twitch streamer should as AES to denounce the Dark Brotherhood and the Brotherhood of Steel

*Thinking* I should make up a rumor that Congress banned Waffle House in the district.

I sell grindset podcasts to evil villains to have their henchmen listen to. Like an even more misanthropic Mary Kay

Saw the UMD student production of Mr Burns: A Post-Electric Play and I will say that it was conceptually interesting if the execution left a little to be desired. Overall a cromulent afternoon at the theater.

Realizing I'm only a year younger than Bill Lumbergh from Office Space...

Imagining a horrific update to Casino Royale where it's just a bunch of Polymarket and Kalshi scenes instead of Texas Hold Em.

Tyler Loop, VMA hero

Robert Nozick: Utilitarian theory is embarrassed by the possibility of utility monsters who get enormously greater sums of utility from any sacrifice of others than these others lose. Effective Altruists: We are in a polycule with the utility monster.

Just watched The Drama and my biggest critique is that they needed to film/treat it as more of a comedy.

Hold on, checking the Fallout Timeline to see where we're at in potential dystopic outcomes. fallout.fandom.com/wiki/United_...

Kind of want to make a list of movies that are before things that actually happen yet become better understood by subsequent events. Like how Starship Troopers and Three Kings are both pre 9/11 movies.

Close enough

Second Odyssey Thought: It is a very Christian adaptation of the story of Odysseus.

Just got out of the Odyssey. Is Christopher Nolan the best film chronographer of the Global War on Terror? Probably not, but he sure is trying.

Who would have thought I would get a second chance to use this meme?

Gilbert and Sullivan would have found the Trump administration quite familiar I'm sure. youtu.be/kCBxI9yKLgw?...

Having finished a replay recently I think one reason everyone got mad but are too cowardly to say it was because they really wanted a Return of the Jedi style ending and the game went with a downer ending instead.

"after talking to local sports parents, I realized the urgent need for Congressional legislation about coaches who don't realize how good some of their players are, because they aren't getting them into the game. we also must take action against referees, who aren't letting the boys play out there"

There's a lot I would like to say about this (you might say a whole book's worth even!), but I'm be brief. The idea of beef as a human right is indeed a core part US political culture. It was a so-called right that was actually delivered, thus reifying its existence.

This post has inspired me to finally write that movie about the parents of the teams that lost to Air Bud suing to get those wins vacated. Unsung heroes.

Seeing a bunch of people describe AI lowering barriers like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, crypto, ghost kitchens, etc. were also pitched as lowering barriers and I gotta wonder what people think will be different this time?

Seems more like Avatar

Others have that guy sleeping in a 400 degree farenheit box.

I want the Menswear guy to watch this movie and talk about it. Does LaKeith Stanfield dress well?

I Love Boosters is so visually striking and the actors are so funny with great chemistry that it's worth having someone with a vape pen explaining dialectical materialism to you.

Both a blessing and a curse that horror movies are the only current film genre where you can regularly grapple with complex emotions and feelings while having people actually watch it. (No, I will not see Obsession but I have been told a lot about it.)

Load-bearing frictions is an idea that will be invented by future graduate students

I just saw The Sheep Detectives, and I have never been more surprised by a film in my life. I expected a silly, dumb little film, and what I got was not that in the slightest in the best way.

This is a thread for historians: Our most important use of our professional skills is informing the public of our shared past, especially at times like this. Human histories of the costs of Jim Crow, what this all means in accessible terms, it needs to get out. Resources and publication options:

If any Supreme Court is going to rule that Catholics aren't Christian, it would be this one though.

Patiently explaining the difference to my girlfriend the difference between King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and King Crimson's Lizard. She thinks it's a tongue twister.

Oddly enough, people who thought NFL 2K5 was better than Madden is represented on both sites.

The solution is we need to convince Dick Wolf to do a Chicago: Small Claims Court to rehabilitate civil litigation

If Star Wars should teach us anything, it's that we're all happier when less stuff is canon and the bulk of the material is on the fringes.

Society really missed out on the chance to get an Orson Welles style commercial universe in the vein of Paul Masson.

Gotta say that choosing to read Max Hastings "1914: Europe Goes to War" right now has an oddly soothing effect.

This sucks only because it really should be a buffalo wing margarita.

High Plains Drifter is basically what Mel Gibson wanted to do with Passion of the Christ

Semi-related: I periodically want to write a history of currency called "Money can be exchanged for goods and services"

Randomly heard the How2Drink guy describe his taste as dumb media for smart people instead of smart media for dumb people which is a clever way of putting things.

Makes a big show about refusing because Trump dodged Vietnam only to get in more trouble when his own biography doesn't check out.

Is there a Polymarket bet on the SOTU length and are we sure that press releases aren't there to influence the line?

Who wins at ping pong: Forrest Gump or Marty Supreme?
