I come here to post about video games and board games and end up getting worked up over politics. Myrmecophagidae on Xbox, Nintendo, BGG. He.

You should do a category on Jeopardy that's phrased entirely in British slang and is incomprehensible to the American contestants.

People who say this shit don't care as much about winning or improving society as they do about Being Right. The smugness is the point, and I have 0% patience for them.

Seems like the kind of thing that matters.

So it is a war, then?

Return? There are playgrounds like this all over my town. Right down to the snow.

The rise of the tech billionaire has caused a lot of people to develop a heuristic that says, "this guy's obviously a loser, so he must know what he's talking about."

As an English-speaking American, I'd appreciate if he'd at least learn my language.

Videos of Pete Hegseth like this should really come with a trigger warning to let you know he doesn't get eaten by a crocodile at the end.

I have never been more confident of anything in my life than I am that at some point this week Trump was shown a picture of the Strait of Hormuz and asked why it's not straight.

It's wild how there are at least 20-30 people in the Trump administration who are each,, somehow, the most contemptible person you've ever seen in your life. Just an M.C. Escher staircase of loathsomeness.

"Everybody was happy." I guess that's why they sued.

It's so embarrassing how they fawn over these hashtag visionaries who repeatedly say the dumbest, most fantastical stuff. Sam Altman was talking about building a Dyson sphere around our solar system to power AI. Why do we listen to these people?

I am ready to not care what he says about anything.

A map of part of the Middle East with a crudely drawn line on it suggesting a possible location for a canal connecting the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, by cutting roughly 400 miles straight through the UAE and Oman.

This is a trend about Republican and Democratic presidents that has been true for 40+ years, but for some reason people still think Republicans are good on the economy.

It's almost as if war requires a collective sacrifice from an entire populace and that's why the decision to wage war shouldn't be left in one man's hands.

Well, guess I gotta mute the phrase "fingered nostrils" now.
