Saw a shared post calling out "one of the most emo posts I've ever seen" and went to comment that I could already hear "Everybody Hurts" and like a dozen people had posted the Nickelback/Photograph meme and look. Look. Listen. There's no need to call me out like that. I'm old, we get it, move on.

On the other hand, Exalted, a game I have not played in the 9 years since the current edition dropped, is surely a good investment

I realize that not everyone listened to the 99 PI about the curb cut effect but surely you’ve all had it explained by a tedious friend who managed to corner you in an elevator

My spouse and I each have a phone, a tablet, and a laptop. I don’t think it’s asking much to a) sign into your streaming service from each of those without having to disconnect a device or 2FA every time or b) add something to my queue from one device and have it show up on another.

People born after the 90’s won’t know this but you used to go days, weeks even, without seeing headlines like “SCOTUS rules 7-2 Italians ‘not necessarily human’” or “Wall Street bets billions on machine that inverts the human digestive tract, calling it ‘a real game-changer’”

These evil fucks

This should be an interesting fact that spins off a weird magical system in a new fantasy series rather than an opinion that has serious geopolitical consequences because people are idiots

While I'm happy the show isn't going away, this is a bad outcome because it reinforces the right-wing/libertarian view that anything worth saving will get picked up by the free market so it's okay to slash away indiscriminately

Obviously if the Qatari government wanted to bribe any one of us — even you — we’d accept in a heartbeat. So you would hold the president to a higher standard than you hold yourself, you greedy little fuck-pig? Hypocrisy, thy name is Libtard.

I did buy Magical Land of Yeld but that's not the same thing at all

Look at me, not buying a new bundle for Shadowrun, a game I haven't played for 3 editions now. Surely this is a sustainable position that will remain true when I am reminded of this post a week from now.

Elon's already claiming the Grok apartheid vomit was deliberate to "raise awareness" or something isn't he

Wild that if fewer than 500 people just decide to be assholes we don’t have a democracy anymore

Trump shouldn't take this lying down. Get his own slate of electors. Declare Leo anti-pope, name himself the true Bishop of Rome. Come up with a sick new logo to put on Trump Pope hats and T-shirts, like maybe a kickass dragon with seven heads, just spitballing here.

It's very funny that both the Pope and GTA VI are too woke for the weirdos on the MAGA right. We should keep feeding them outrage until they run out of culture entirely. Mary Poppins is anti-free market. Peanuts are a DEI food. Airplanes are academic elitism. Boycott everything, enjoy nothing.

This is a really beautiful piece from @mcsweeneys.net about the inherent value of neurodivergent people. RFK Jr. is dead wrong in the way he demeans and diminishes people with autism. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-...

There’s no way the movie tariff thing is real

I promise you it will be easier to push back on keeping food safety programs in place than to Great Leap Forward our way into collective self-sufficiency
