Was discussing with family earlier today just how TikTok opened the floodgates for shoving short-form videos into your mind without giving you the chance to fact-check or contextualize. It's part of why I've been curtailing my social media use down to a few apps.

Okay so I'm today years old when I learned that the 2015 Red Bull lineup (Ricciardo and Kvyat) posed for pics with the Ninninger team during that year's Japanese GP. #f1 #tokusky

These three combined for 1 Q1 elimination last year, off the top of my head (Norris at Baku, and that had a bit of bad luck involved).

As it turns out the reason techbros were so afraid of it was because they knew deep down if it ever existed they would be the first, second and third targets

I am so sick of these "resist" types doing anti-slav xenophobia. The problem with Melania is that she is a fascist. Not that she is an immigrant. Also Slovenia and Russia are not the same fucking thing oh my god. Bonus sex worker shaming, of course.

I've always wondered if Lando Norris would have a bigger fanbase if he kept his mouth shut a bit more. Then again he kept on winning Driver of the Day even when someone had a stronger drive. (Disclaimer: Surprisingly I'm rooting for him to win this year, alongside Oscar) #f1

It's even worse when you consider the Pope is in the hospital getting treatment for pneumonia and there's at least one tradcath openly praying for his death

"Mother says no, Father says yes" is an all too common dynamic that arguably has led to deep-seated misogyny and a pursuit of a mythical standard of masculinity.

Remember when in the 80s Americans got paranoid that Japan would take over the world? It's straight out of a Greek tragedy that Japan could become the leader of the free world *because* some Americans got too poisoned by fascism.

Watched a local improv troupe do their thing this afternoon. Their shtick is that they take prompts from the audience and do skits based on a loose framework combined with those prompts. 8/10 a bit cringe but was overall fun and funny.

You could argue it began the moment some schmucks in China mixed up charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter

You'd think this would be a layup for most people (and it is) but others...

Finally finished Persona 3: Reload and have decided that I’ll never stop crying. What an incredible experience. Infinite high fives to every single person who had a hand in it.

I guess they think 24 and the "Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique" is an instruction manual. Never mind that they did a study and found that torture isn't an effective tool for gaining useful information.

They really, *really* want to do a Sicario

So Trump II isn't just alienating its allies but also gutting its military brain trust by firing top officials. That definitely won't backfire, no no no.

The educated didn't underestimate the threat of fascism. What they underestimated was just how quickly it would take for education to erode to the point where problematic alternatives replaced it.

Looks like the Wirtschaftswunder is kaput.

To no one's surprise, given his solid performance filling in for Wemby vs Phoenix.

I feel like Persona 3 should be required playing for people at this point

☄️ 🔭 The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%. Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’ If this trend continues, the risk may soon reach 0%.

Considering the Alpine A521 had a French tricolor for its livery maybe Ferrari should do something similar.

Was told Wemby's issue is considered much closer to Ausar Thompson's than Chris Bosh's. While the Spurs say no timeline has been determined, Thompson's case might provide useful perspective. He sat out from March 9 to the end of last season, then was cleared for 5-on-5 on November 11. Eight months.

Never got why yall adopted primary elections to begin with

Even in EU4 capturing the capital doesn't get you to 100% warscore
