Bluey?

Friend from college who’s kind of famous now just went on my favorite podcast. Apparently she and the host met at a party that I was invited to but couldn’t attend. All the comments say they have great chemistry.

Most of the time when I tell people my job they don’t care but last night I met a guy and told him and he was like, “Wait, seriously? You MAKE video games? That’s the coolest thing ever,” and I love when that happens.

“I hated the halftime show because I don’t understand Spanish!” Are you not fluent in the language of Hot People Throwing Ass?

If it’s a pregnant cop you’re forced to give them your job on the spot

Every measurable statistics says owning a gun makes you far more likely kill yourself or a loved one than protect yourself. But everyone thinks they’re the exception. I agree, it’s heartbreaking.

Ran into this crazy bastard over the weekend!

He is the new Khareem. Simple as.

I agree it’s very bleak. I think it’s an unfortunate byproduct of the fact that there’s a new war crime every day.

I’m in Europe and it’s remarkable how much their news programming doesn’t hem and haw concerning Israel. They’ll just tell you Israeli killed some aid workers and move on. They didn’t say it was a complicated situation and they didn’t have Bari Weiss on to talk about how scary Arabs are.

game development is a scam invented by game developers to develop more games

I kind of feel like the Greenland stuff is a diversionary tactic to get people not to talk about the disastrous ICE stuff? Not to give him too much credit but that feels right out of his playbook??

Yeah the open secret is that Bronny is simply not good enough for the NBA and got drafted with a late round pick as a favor to their star player Lebron. He’s an undersized shooting guard who can’t shoot and gets scared very easily. Still a cool story though

I need food, water, and attention!

A weird thing about writing is that people are fans of the characters you write for, which are aggregates of your thoughts and tastes and creative impulses. But they are not fans of you.

The developers of PEAK explain pricing

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

The whole movie feels like Gen X Facebook humor, if that makes sense. “I have no fucks left to give” kinda stuff

I feel the same way about Wake Up Dead Man as I do about the other Knives Out movies: the story and reveal are super interesting, it’s a very competently made movie, and the characters and jokes are pretty hard to get through.

every time he says something new about this

The funniest thing Sven can do at this point is issue an apology statement that’s clearly written by AI.

It took him a solid 20 seconds to read all of it

In another world I would have felt bad for him but he had just spent three minutes being Playfully Condescending towards her while she repeatedly tried to put her headphones back on

At the gym yesterday I watched a guy ask a French woman out by reading a paragraph of text off his phone that he translated to French. She told him his pronunciation is bad and she’s not interested.

Congratulations!

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.
