Thanks - way too often I miss the diagonal attacks.

Depicts a chess match in mid game, illustrating the move I made in red, and the AI coach's critique of my move and its suggestion of a supposedly better move, which appears dubious to my admittedly unschooled eye.

Chess folks: the Chess.com AI coach tells me that my my move of Qd4 is a "miss," and that I should have jumped Ng5, a square being attacked by two black pawns. Is the AI coach crazy, or is Chess too far subtle a game for my simple mind, and I should stick to Chutes and Ladders and Candyland? #chess

Just locker room talk - "Little Hitlers will be Little Hitlers" is the new "Boys will be Boys"

Drew Struzan, the King of the Movie Poster, Has Died The beloved artist, who illustrated iconic posters for 'Star Wars', 'Indiana Jones', 'Back to the Future', and more, was 78.

You may not know his name, but you know his absolutely iconic work. RIP, Drew Struzan.

55 is solidly Gen-X, but otherwise 100% agree.

Watch DEVO | Netflix Official Site Interviews with the band and vivid vintage video trace Devo's evolution from their Akron, Ohio, art-rocker roots to new wave "Whip It" fame and beyond.

Got around to watching the DEVO documentary last night - highly recommended. Fifty years later, still ahead of their time.

He who fucks nuns will later join the church

you can condemn political violence without asking me to believe that charlie kirk was just an ordinary decent pundit who believed in the liberal project--believed in pluralism, freedom, and equality. he didn't. his whole thing was that he hated those ideas and wanted to destroy them

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

It's a plot point, but I'm not sure it rises to the level of theme. Protecting the Shire is seen by the Dúnedain as a loving duty, akin to a parent protecting a child, and not as an act of patronizing arrogance. Luckey's attitude toward defending the Shire is less Aragorn and more Colonel Jessup.

Eric Parker points his rifle at a crowd in Idaho in 2014, including federal agents

WHOA! He should have dialed his protest back and pointed a rifle at the feds, which is only a misdemeanor.

The most "what the fuck you gonna do about it" presidency

IANAL, but c'mon, how is this not libel against the commissioner?
