Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

if you (a leftist of any stripe including even liberals) want to make points IRL to actual humans, ratcheting up the shouting and yelling and listing the number of awful things happening is not the way. the way is calm. the way is centered in moral clarity.

the value of this knowledge is better gold:

Kevin Holland earns every cent he gets from the UFC. And I'm positive he's still been underpaid.

i think the only "old athlete" thing that makes me sad is how scarred and misshapen my knees are. i don't even remember what they looked like before the surgeries and wounds. if i could go back in time i would take a picture of my knees from like junior year of HS. just so i could remember now.

It is insansely simple to vote effectively in RCV elections.

finally after all of these years a reason to dislike ireland

Final day of three for class this week. Did 30min comp class -> class class -> 10min of rolls. Working some self-defense standing entries as well as some tripod sweep techniques. Very tired. My cardio is crap rn. But it is actually making me learn jiu-jitsu? Need food and nap now.

this is killing me softly with its song

By far my favorite part of South Korean elections: election night graphics. SBS television station kills it EVERY. TIME. They play these clips all night and they get more and more unhinged and creative as the night goes on.

final fucking frontier: infinite tabs

Class today was working into ashi garami (monday was working into shin-to-shin) and using that to get to feet and or take the back (also standard leg/ankle attacks along the way). Some good rolls and i enjoy working to match energy w diverse partners. Still not always sure when i'm being too strong

Did T Th F last week. Last week doing takedowns. Finally found some things i like in a gi (one grip [collar or sleeve] and then drop and grab the matching knee) that kinda work off of my collar tie propensity. Also attended belt promotions on Saturday Emotional and so many black belts old and new!

setting aside the obvious awfulness: This is how people want LLMs to communicate?? Like a submissive toady coming up with potential projects you didn't ask for while outputting what LLMs statistically estimate to be what you want to read rather than truth? Skin crawling from beginning to end.

how to make a breakfast order sound like a threat to humanity

Vandals. Visigoths. The barbarians are coming from inside the fucking house.

"can a phone design cook too hard?" asked and answered

"emotional" ≠ "volatile" and i would like everyone to remember this when talking about both sports and humans

MARIO: what is friend in french luigi LUIGI: it’s amie mario

I don't think I've ever seen a sequence like this one where a clump of dirt from the pitcher kicks up from their shoes and explodes mid-air due to ball in the pitching sequence give the camera operators of this game an emmy for this moment from Oregon-Ole Miss

Enjoy 90 seconds of Xavier Legette at a hockey game. Best thing I've seen today. From B/R

Janelle Monae got 14 songs worth of "I'm feeling myself" and i want you all to feel about yourselves the way this album makes me feel.

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
