Who would you rather face: The nine members of Slipknot in a round of bar trivia, or the one hundred members of Broken Social Scene in a game of rugby

Perfect time to announce my viral monster movie, Bird Flu versus Covid-25

Putting John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and John Noble in a scene together is a flex.

Despite everything that’s going on, I still believe in the core idea that the arc of humanity bends toward survival. I just don’t know what that looks like anymore, and it’s exhausting trying to figure that out.

I'm probably pissing in the wind, but I have little time off because of the holiday, so I'd like to offer a thread arguing against an ugly, ugly habit rising on Bluesky: Screenshots of articles without links. Stop it. Just fucking stop it.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

I love how every day now you get an update about how the horse and the donkey are exploring new parts of the hospital and utterly fucking things up, it’s very clear that no one has the heart to get them out of there, and it’s equally obvious they’re heading for the NICU next

Can we fast forward to Elon forcing people to get chips in their brains, all his fervent followers do it, 70% of them die, and all the chip does is tell them the date, time, and weather at any given moment with a ~33% rate of accuracy?

Who has a haunted mansion I can inherit and get roped into ridding it of a millennia-long curse leading to an overwhelming sense of personal growth?

Making is better than not

Saw “markhelly” for the first time today and it really drove home how big the show has become

This Super Bowl is giving me hope for America

Never gonna find Stair 1 Roof Access

Are we calling them the DOGEbags yet

This season is kind of dumb. There’s two bad guys, and they’re really corny and poorly written. And now I guess they have a gang of loser teenager hackers involved? Their targets are all over the place. CW ass show. Waiting to see if a red wedding episode happens.

Me: The point is to overwhelm you. 75% of these things are to generate outrage and not allow us to focus our combined strength on the few really bad things they’re actually doing. Cashier: Please just tap the screen

Holy crap, Severance. What an episode.

Look man we’re all going to be in workers camps or worse in like 6 months, the least my favorite sports teams could do is get their shit together

“Elon Musk… private server… boys half his age…” I could’ve guessed those would be pieces of a headline someday, but would’ve gotten the headline wrong.

@nnoodle64.bsky.social FWIW, big Dijonai Carrington fan over here.

If you went back in time to kill a younger version of Hitler it would change an incredible amount of history, but if that scares you off, as your time travel agent I can get you a great deal on a package taking you back to the filming of a scene from Home Alone 2

Woman: We do love the coziness of our ranch Man: But we also like the peace and quiet we’d get in the split-level Hilary: So what’ll it be? Are you going to love it? David: Or are you going to list it? Satan: OR ARE YOU GOING TO KILL IT David: Not NOW, Satan

For those wondering: Yes, I'm uploading the entire 15 GB public-facing CDC.gov website that I downloaded a few days ago...but it's gonna take awhile to upload...

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that every single MAGA person I’ve ever known or interacted with also happened to be one of the dumbest individuals I’ve ever known or interacted with. I say individuals because that includes dogs and I guess an assortment of bugs.

“You should appreciate greatness, how can you root against the Chiefs going for the three-peat” sir, please understand that Patrick Mahomes committed crimes against humanity by infecting the nation’s youth with that dumb haircut, go birds

The worst design choice in Pokemon TCG Pocket’s new trade system isn’t the token currency, it’s the fact you can only offer a card and can’t ask for one. Paired with no in-app communication system, it’s useless for people who you’ve friended in the game you don’t know/chat with elsewhere.

Every jackass yelling at you that it’s actually the best Super Bowl matchup of all time and we should be grateful to witness greatness is what’s going to make this a long two weeks

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

For ~a decade, while studying “rumoring during crisis”, I’ve seen how the right takes advantage of newsy moments, throwing out different frames & phrases to find what resonates. They don’t wait for focus groups. They throw everything at the wall, see what sticks, then lean into the winning bits.

Trying to figure out how we can get him to kiss a chicken

If I win these I will burn them live on camera so the curse is broken

FROM SHAMS: Blockbuster WNBA deal: The Seattle Storm are trading six-time All-Star Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces in a multi-team move that sends three-time All-Star Kelsey Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks, sources tell me, @ramonashelburne, @alexaphilippou, @kendra__andrews.

Sean McDermott talking to his team tomorrow about how this horrible moment might feel bad now, but it reminds him of a time a whole country came together after another awful tragedy

Sapele is gorg. 🪵

I can’t believe we’re all going to be rooting for the eagles in two weeks

[getting my ass kicked by a gang of teenagers] this is your super bowl
