sorry I didn't mean to sound like a Ricky Gervais atheist, I just meant to say that it's open to all who want to participate and not gated by any nationality or creed and that's what I love

there's something so cool and like, The World I Want To Live In about halloween as a holiday. It's just pointless fun, young adults get to experiment w/ identity and sluttiness, little kids get to learn that community is rad, there's no nation or god or anything. it's so neat! i love it!

i grew up poor & listening to my parents in the kitchen talkin about the bills we couldn't pay when i was supposed to be in bed asleep, having a day each year where everybody can play pretend and get free candy was so fucking important to me when i was little man, i want all the kids to have that

i'm so mad that they're making kids trick or treat in the rain on not-halloween instead of letting them trick or treat on actual halloween with no rain!

I’m “Flagpole Sitta is still a perfect song” years old.

i don't know what Riley Gaines looks like so I thought for a long time that Welch was saying all this to the person on the right lmao

Very delighted that the best case scenario for my state, which trump only won w/ 55% of the vote, will be sending at least 11, possibly 13 out of our 15 congresspeople as republicans next year. I'm done voting, it's pointless now.

Spooky cartoon scarecrow guy with jack-o-lantern head. Text: Think this is scary? You'll think it's even scarier in Hell when you go there for "going commando." (it's demons' home)

at least it's friday

This IS the important part. I love so much about living in the Midwest but this is madness it infuriates me. You can't just change when Halloween is!!

~66 or 67 depending on the humidity / recent temps in the winter, 70-75 depending on the same and our moods in the summer.

good autopsy that deserves more attention that the shitty centrist one that was written to get liberals mad -->

oh thank god this is the best thing iv'e heard in ages

i fucking hate jb pritzker. no billionaires means no billionaires.

oooooooh, the great khanh has sent.....a LETTER!!!!!

I think you have a good thread and I think I know what you mean here but I'd ask you reconsider your language. Lots of people who grow up in loving supportive environments develop drug & anger issues and your tweet is not especially fair to them.

A soup with beans is called a boup

Many Democratic Socialists - myself included - don't consider him as such. It's crazy to me that actual socialists are telling you this guy doesn't speak for us, and instead you just assume the guy the media puts on the pedestal does. We're not the ones putting him on CNN, dude.

Hey man you wanna delete this posts where you take me out of context and imply socialists are nazis? Cuz I'm a socialist and I think you're being a dick.

best summary of coding LLMs ive ever seen

Hey I just wanna point out that I'm actually not center-left at all, I'm actually the "hard left" (I just call myself a socialist, it's easier) you're pissed off about and me and every single socialist I know personally thinks the tattoo is disqualifying, you should delete this.

It's very weird that I keep two giant rectangles side by side in my kitchen, both for making food hot, and the big difference is metal is allowed to go in one and plastic is allowed to go in the other but if I mix it up I might die. They should just make a combo oven microwave that's safe for both.

The rules of how/ if the bottom of the ninth have to be played are one of my favorite things in any sport.

I was just telling MB last night that a mlb game hitting forty is my dream

my favorite part about baseball is that there's too much of it. that's the entire point of the it. baseball is about taking what kids do (hitting a ball around w/ a stick, making up silly pointless rules to a game) for fun and stretching it out to its absurd perfection. what a sport.

they're playing WHAT in los angeles tonight??

When the FBI arrested Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups, the basketball-watching public turned to sports media to help make sense of the story. What explanations were on offer? Before disclosing its own BetMGM partnership, The Athletic called “all of sports” complicit in the scandal. Bill Simmons dismissed the episode as ”a couple bad apples,” growing pains typical of a growth industry. Zach Lowe had ESPN's betting guy on his podcast; together they concluded that these issues can be tinkered out of existence by limiting prop bets and changing how teams report injuries. Lowe's podcast, like Simmons's, began with a FanDuel ad. The takeover of sports media by gambling companies imposes hard boundaries on the domain of these conversations. Most importantly, these captured discussions always obscure the social and political choices that enable the gambling industry to entrench itself. Allowing people to gamble on their phones and allowing sports gambling companies to spend untold sums on lobbying and advertising are choices. These choices, not some law of nature, are why millions of people have started gambling in recent years. Likewise, other sports media companies have chosen to offer up their audiences as prey to gambling outfits. Defector has chosen something else: We never have and never will take money from gambling companies. Subscribers fund our operations, which allows us to remain independent, critical, and uncompromised. Consider making that choice.

NBA media is not built to cover a gambling scandal, but Defector is: defector.com/products

also, what a fucking inspiration all of the videos i'm constantly seeing online of people in communities all over the country who show up and protest in the face of masked, anonymous

i mean, it's just straight up secret police at this point. when they're refusing to show badges or identify themselves, even when other law enforcement shows up, that's secret police.

oh phew, i was so worried amazon wasn't nimble. the thing that i care about in a recession, if a company is numble
