Insipid Twaddle

Conversely, the Jays are bizarro world TAO'D. Dodgers losing a World Series game by a 31 year old career minor leaguer, a guy once released by the A's, a guy that missed out on the opening day roster to Alan Roden, and one with the build of a plumber who signed for the price of a (very) used Kia.

Good thing he took the extra precaution of showing up to work wearing Groucho glasses, so that his friends and family won't know him as the guy who pissed himself while shooting a priest in the face from point-blank range.

Eduard Habsburg on X: "Another thing is that many animes, especially those with magical realism, come from an alien and often "pagan" religious background and/or don't transport Christian values. That can be a problem for some. But that's not "satanic" in my book https://t.co/Qnwdn4JBTQ" / X Another thing is that many animes, especially those with magical realism, come from an alien and often "pagan" religious background and/or don't transport Christian values.

Eduard Habsburg-Lothringen, Hungarian ambassador to the Holy See and direct descendant of half the former monarchs in Europe, is known to have a lot of opinions about anime.

Great, now that poor woman has to do a sequel video where she cries in anguish as a new shape fits through the square hole of a child's puzzle toy. Hope you're happy, mathematicians.

There are enough people with family on both sides of the border that we might be able to file for an annulment on the grounds of consanguinity, which would make the Pope less sad.

And graphical fidelity. Unwillingness to take risks creatively leads to prioritizing the wow factor of demos to gin up preorders. But rendering every pore on every cow is expensive and takes years, and optimizing for it is equally challenging. Thus janky games with $200m budgets and meh gameplay.

Or the thrilling conclusion to the Return of the Jedi musical.

Nazi tattoo, an acknowledged history of homophobic and rape apologist comments that occurred in his mid/late 30s, but yeah: the problem is the mean ol' Democratic establishment.

You really want Zeteo to go down this road?

And in an era where short-form video is the dominant medium, an easily-disseminated, ten-second clip of the White House getting gutted on the whim of the president is likely to be a lot more salient than 10000 words on the usurpation of Article I powers by the executive ever could.

My father was 38 when I (eldest) was born. My grandfather was 25 when my father (only child) was born. My great-grandfather was 43, my great-great-grandfather was 39. None of the mothers were younger than 24 per census data, median is late 20s.

These reactionary assholes are just sick freaks.

Feels weird doing satellite damage assessment of the White House, particularly when the damage was done by the present occupant.

The Vietnam War also was a small war in the same way that Shaquille O'Neal is a small man. Over a million dead combatants and several times that in civilians, and many major set-piece battles of the sort that Platner suggests are not so fun.

He appears to be a deeply ignorant person.

Moldbug's writing/Andreesen's stupid manifesto state it pretty bluntly: the tech brahs are the avatars of human progress, and anything that limits their power (and status) is crippling humanity's future. A permission structure not only to seek kinghood, but to frame doing so as a moral imperative.

Well, that's just because you're thinking of the current White House. The residence and West Wing are currently in use, but when Trump relocates to his winter palace in Florida, the rest of that tired old building can be knocked down and replaced with something more befitting its occupant.

For any history prior to 1976 or after the 2024: daytime intoxication.

But they're soft. They use words and either don't have beards or their beards aren't scraggly enough, and they rarely if ever wear wraparound shades. Wouldn't it be more thrilling and masculine to vote for grizzled men who do slurs and whose knuckles don't align because they punch so many walls?

Oh no whatever will the Democrats do with all of these conventionally handsome men in their 30s and 40s who are also effective communicators, we will never recover from this.

One option might be to have a secondary lurk-only Bluesky that follows a smallish (100-200) number of essential news-adjacent accounts. Allows you to switch to that when you want to feel informed and connected, but also don't want to be hit with the firehose or feel obliged to opine.

Has there ever been a more natural pairing than the Great Khan of the Plains and a revival of Sumo Digest?

ESPN lost its soul when it replaced grainy footage of strongman competitions and bowling with an endless series of shouty-person televised talk radio shows. Having Chris Coons For Delaware sponsor a nationally-televised cornhole league would not only win back men, it would right a historical wrong.

Yeah, if we're going to cast a wide net for outsider candidates (and it's a necessity), we also need to accept that a fair few of them will be irredeemably Problematic once vetted and get used to noping out. No need to run cover for the Pete Hegseth of Ken Bones, there're more fishermen in the sea.

Unless the DC consultant class runs a tattoo parlor and vodka dispensary in Dubrovnik, I'm struggling to understand why they're to blame here as well, and I'm generally happy to blame them for any vicissitude that I suffer.

Even if we didn't have the wedding video, Platner has a profound amount of "takes his shirt off at every opportunity" energy. I'm sure a lot of people have seen that tattoo, and a lot of them have commented on it, so the best-case scenario is that he's a 40-something edgelord and...yeah. No thanks.

For a few years, I was part of a small, secret message board with Ted Cruz's future chief of staff.

Sorry, man. As a Jays fan, I'd have been cheering for Seattle against anyone else. Baseball gods are cruel and seem to like to pit starving fanbases against each other.

Dan Wilson looks like he got his last good night's sleep in 1998, and that was not the decision of someone who got their eight hours in.

It isn't a pivotal Blue Jays playoff game without a Weird Rules Thing.

Seems fair. The left getting any and all sexual contact with an adult in the national divorce is a real coup.

The fact that it's been 13 years since NFIB v Sebelius gutted the Medicaid expansion and a full fix remains illusive would seem to be a bullet point that the reporter should acknowledge, but alas.

Can't say I ever expected to see an Onion reference to the Michelin plant in Waterville.
