My wife’s stylist (who also cuts my hair) brought banh mi as a gift and now I feel like I should have an honorary Oberlin degree (this joke only works for Internet elders)

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

Watching the Valkyries game and I cannot believe Game 6 of the WNBA files are airing at 12:30 PM ET. Meanwhile MNBA games are airing at night. Throwaway men’s games are worth more than the women’s final (maybe) game?

Forty five minutes trying to wipe out the same outpost of rogues in Ghost of Yotei was enough. Need to get better at that melee combat.

Decamping because the church next to my house, despite frequent entreaties by me, insists on using maximum bass in their outdoor speakers during their “trunk or treat” event. “Love thy neighbor until the drop” was one of the Beatitudes, right?

90s TV mocking me

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Currently playing GHOST OF YOTEI and the mechanics and storytelling remain peak, but gosh darnit the on screen text and control hints are just too darn small. @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social please release a patch with variable sizing.

Boomers spent their peak earning years demanding lower income taxes now spending retirement years demanding no property taxes — that puts a very large burden on the income-earning generation squeezed between their kids and declining parents.

Amber Guyger cried on the stand, got a Bible and a hug from the judge, and just walked out nearly three years early. Botham Jean was 26. medium.com/@drleocroft/...

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

You know if GM produced a stupid Hot Wheel demo and said “this might be legal somewhere” people wouldn’t reward them with massive stock value but that’s just Old Business I guess www.caranddriver.com/news/a741455...

Finally backed the Clover Press Marvel Masterworks kickstarter, because I want a complete set of the Simonson Thor Masterworks. Hopefully they’ll get to do one more after this one and we’ll have the best possible reprint of the masterwork.

*looks at the price of the new Apple TV 4K*

Practicing uncial writing for a gag picture someone asked for is really committing to the bit

I bought a Japanese bowl designed explicitly to make it easier to wash rice and 1) I never realized how dirty the rice I was cooking was 2) slowing things down is the best thing you can do for yourself. Set realistic goals. Don’t feel rushed.

Someone asked me how I was feeling about the Yankees this year, and I said, "are they still in?" Ignorance can be bliss.

I think one reason that I have for the most part eschewed sports fandom in the all but nominal sense (I wear a Yankees hat pretty much everywhere, Ron Howarding) is that I have enough anxiety and stress in my own life that I don’t need to adopt any more from causes I can do nothing about.

New sketch: Spider-Man!

Vance's model immigrant Elon Musk has sucked up more taxpayer-funded largesse than entire generations of asylum seekers combined, interfered with government policy, bought elections, and perpetrated a decade-long crime spree... he's literally the only immigrant we can't afford more of!

Watching BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and if movies could get Richard Edlund and Dean Cundey working on them we wouldn’t have any more bullshit about CG and out of focus backgrounds

This was Joe Lieberman’s scam as well - “you need my seniority to get the smallest possible change I can do” - but even worse on his part because he undercut his own party so consistently.

Just finished #11 in the Aubrey-Maturin series and when I tell you the ending is satisfying oh yes it is

If you wanted someone to get to know you, what horror movie would you show them?

We should all feel shame that this mobile fistula is President of the United States.

The movie is a sumptuous visual feast, a masterpiece of the cinematographic art, but I had to enable MST3K mode to get half of the family to watch it with me, and even then, I was the only one to make it through the whole thing. I enjoyed it as much as when i saw it almost 30 years ago.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Apple TV 4K in my living room bricked itself last night, good thing I have two older HD models, but it would be nice if Apple brought out some revision to the product next month, I’d hate to buy years-old hardware.

As a Queen mega fan this episode of Lanterns was pretty gratifying
