Step 1: Have a straight up intervention with anyone you know who still follows Matt Yglesias. Step 2: No, I'm serious. Gather your friends and somehow manage to show the dipshit who still thinks this is normal how remarkably stupid this man is.

Dammit, RIP to an absolute legend. I did a Cheers rewatch a couple years ago, and it's remarkable 1) how well that show holds up from the very beginning, and 2) how quickly Wendt found that character and was throwing comedic fastballs right away

Get to airport parking lot, trunk of the car in front of me is wide open. "Hello? Is this anybody's car with the open trunk??" Silence Closes trunk "...aw shit, it's a Tesla. Can I open it again?"

That's right, pulling into the airport parking lot only 1 hour before boarding. I'm a rebel, dammit. Everybody keeps telling me so.

So at this point the Navy has now "oopsie, lost another one 🤷‍♂️" with more $60mil jets than DOGE has "saved" right??

RIP Giant Bomb and Polygon. With the loss of big games media sites and the inevitable rise of all consoles to unsustainable prices, it really feels like a huge turning point for the industry at large. Prepare for a LOT more AAA bombs (Concord you won't be alone for long)

Also have you ever met anyone who actually DOES their own research? Like on anything? Looking up OTHER people's research is common, but that's not at all the same thing. It ain't like they're stress testing that stroller 1000x.

The fact that this guy is still alive is a huge win. We can't ignore both his and our world's current circumstances. But we can retain hope. Fuck it, let's embrace Steven King's greatest quote: "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies"

I know this shouldn't have been a revelation when Kenji Lopez-Alt has a video praising them, but the Popeye's pickle wings are shockingly good. Like some of the best wings I've had in years.

Every night since DST started I've slept like crap. And every morning my watch has a summary feature that immediately pops up and basically says, "Wow, you REALLY slept like crap!" ...just feels kinda snide at this point

Fav moment playing REPO with Boo Squad tonight was when @slowbeef.bsky.social was all alone and said "I'm just going to pretend all the monsters have left and I have nothing to worry about" And I immediately responded, "that's Chuck Schumer's motto!"

This was a lot of fun. Needs to keep expanding the gameplay options, especially when it comes to ways to evade or fight back against the monsters, but the potential for hilarious hijinks is high.

Holy shit, I just realized I was radicalized by the Dennis the Peasant scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail ...I mean, in retrospect obviously... but it makes SO much more sense considering all the other context.

This made me fall down a wikipedia rabbit hole to learn that 'Bluesy Huey Lewis' played harp on a Thin Lizzy record. (And also scared the shit outta me that Huey Lewis had actually died. Like, c'mon Patton!)

Fucking chemistry And it's all based on one premise that rings true today: There's a bunch of performative religious folks who dominate the discourse in this country but in reality are the most self-centered, bigoted, and hateful pieces of shit you will ever encounter in your goddamn life

My favorite thing about robo wants an oreo is that either: Randy Moore is just fucking with Peter Weller... & has succeeded SO well that Weller sounds genuinely annoyed OR It's true & Weller is finally getting his revenge by making people doubt the validity of the greatest on-set story of all time
