I think we’ll end up at whichever app feels the most like TikTok the fastest. There are a couple of features that only TikTok has at the moment, things like replying to a comment with a video of your own, that the first two clone, or even approve upon, becomes the winner.

This is the only time I’ve actually been injured at a metal show in more than 30 years of going to them. If it had to be anyone, I’m it seems fitting it was Slayer.

Arguing with people about due process for the last five days has been the single most exhausting experience of my entire life. 

They both assume the level of corruption has always been far higher than it actually has been, and there’s a lot of just refusing to believe reality when they’re told it if it conflicts with what they wish to be true.

As much as I HATE Jubilee as a channel and idea, that Sam Seder episode was terrifyingly illuminating

Meh

The Grift Two bearded white guys talking about news, culture, masculinity, and politics.

Since I’m never above shameless self-promotion, my buddy Al and I have started a podcast that is now three episodes old. youtube.com/@thegrift-sh...

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

The one Thanksgiving tradition everyone can agree on.

TNG will always be my favorite Trek because it was so integral to my childhood (your presence and the reminder of Reading Rainbow it brought being a big reason), but I don’t think any Trek has matched the consistent brilliance of DS9.

It's trans day of remembrance where we remember all of our siblings we've lost this year to violence and hate. We know we've lost at least 350 trans and nonbinary people have been murdered in the last year.

We honor the dead and fight like hell for the living.

When all is said and done, the show “Murder, She Wrote” was mostly just about how Angela Lansbury was smarter and more competent than every single cop everywhere in the world when it came to actually solving a crime, which feels entirely fair.

I just had two cops warn me that I was walking past a an opossum, and what’s kinda cute is that out of the three of them they thought the possum was the one I might need to worry about doing something foolish.

People misunderstand voting: you’re not choosing who you think will do the best job, you’re choosing who you think will most thoroughly cave to your demands when you chant them in the streets, possibly while armed.

Will AIPAC call it antisemitic when Christian nationalists take over the US and nuke Jerusalem so that Jesus will come back, or is that only reserved for people asking Israel not to do a genocide?

I’m only 10 minutes in, and I certainly can’t say it’s the best game I’ve ever played or anything, but the new RoboCop game does let me shoot dudes in the dick, which I appreciate immensely.

It was pretty much the last time the world collectively got its shit together and worked to solve a problem as a true global effort. I don’t believe it’s possible to see an effort like that happen again. The US in particular is too invested in science denialism by one of its two major parties.

Is there a particular reason my Discover feed is mostly in German?

I once had a 100mcg ampule of fentanyl break in my gloveless hand, cutting my finger in the process, and I am shockingly not-dead even still.

Abusive leftist creep makes a comeback as an abusive right-wing creep is a tale as old as time. This is because the only real conviction the abusive creep has is that they should be allowed to do whatever they want and be applauded for it.

Conservatives hate any form of sexual education for children because it makes harder to get away with abusing them.

It looks like the single best live music venue in my immediate area has two years left before its lease expires and it most likely goes away forever. I knew it was inevitable with the way development has been going here the last several years, but it sucks to know the expiration date.

FUN FACT: screaming, “I AM AHAB,” before trying to harpoon a palmetto bug with an old broom handle does not ensure victory.

When rich old people realize they won’t die before the worst effects start clobbering humanity, including them, we’ll finally suddenly find the collective will to take it seriously and spend $100 trillion+ to try to literally geoengineer our way out of it all.

Scrolling through Blue Sky, or even Threads, and then trying to slog through Twitter afterward is… something. I’ve yet to see a single open call for genocide here!

I know he’ll never be asked this because he only ever does interviews with very friendly outlets who won’t ask hard questions, but I’d be curious to hear how Ron DeSantis would explain what his end goal is for all of the anti-trans/anti-LGBTQ legislation he signed into law this year was.

I hope everyone in my life understands that outside of work I will be going complete shut in for an indefinite period of time once Baldur’s Gate III drops. I have been waiting two decades for this game, and I will not allow petty human concerns to distract me from it.

So, how long does everyone think it is before two cis women shoot each other in a Florida bathroom both absolutely convinced the other one is trans but won’t admit it?

If the 6.8 million people who didn’t bother vote in 2022 here could maybe engage a little bit next time, that’s be fucking great.
