Here's a tin foil hat take: social media is engineered to absorb your rage and dump it into the ether, allowing you to feel expressed and heard without having to put in any additional work to enact change in the real world.

Even if they got that, I would have put money on Buffalo having enough time to get into range for a game winner.

This is karmic payoff for telling Dan Snyder to fuck all the way off.

This [gestures at world] can all be blamed on Real World Hawaii.

Zach Tom has had a great season but he's had some very obvious misses already in this game.

Kirk Herbstreit just now repeatedly emphasizing Calvin Austin being 5' 9" was a personal attack against me, specifically.

Watching Dark for the first time. Why are so many people handling dead birds with their bare hands!

I know I'm just an Old and a Hater but all I can think when hearing Chappell Roan songs is, "I'd much rather put on Florence and the Machine."

Can't tell if the NBA media types being like, "These games and players are awesome, the NBA isn't dead at all and romanticizing the past is ridiculous," are intentionally missing the actual issue (non all-caps NBA FANS aren't watching/engaging) or if they're too insulated to understand it.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals

Been watching The Leftovers for the first time, and I'm a couple episodes into season 3 and the abrupt decision to lean deeply into the absurdities is sending me.

Just witnessed a coach instruct his team to run a horns set. This was 6th grade girls basketball.

Honestly, the corruption of FIFA has completely killed my interest in professional club soccer.

I turned 39 on Monday. What should my midlife crisis be?

Wtf??? fortune.com/2024/12/09/u...

Watching Arcane S2 and... like... I'm sorry I just can't buy the Jinx redemption arc.

Jason Garrett just said, "39 seconds and a timeout is a lifetime." After the early game, that's high comedy.

What a bafflingly bad decision not to call a timeout.

Caleb Williams has some obvious flaws but dude has the most gumption of a Bears quarterback in... Maybe my entire life?

Eventually, for long-term viability, people will need to view and position Bluesky as more than just, "not Twitter."

This can seem unfathomable to anyone with an ounce of political investment, but a lot of people vote strictly on vibes and their policy-adjacent justifications work backwards from that feeling, rather than their policy beliefs (of which they have almost none) determining their vote.

One thing I've noticed about Pitchfork the last couple years: I can no longer rely on them for communicating the moment around a piece of music. The writing has become-- seemingly intentionally!-- divorced from the context of the music's impact in its intended audiences.
