Hell yeah Michael B Jordan!!!!!
Best case scenario: I put Sean Penn as my guess for the Oscar pool, AND we didn’t have to hear him speak!
Seconding this. I’ve had decent luck with randos, but they are nevertheless, randos.

I just literally bolted upright in bed with the realization that these statements of contrition were absolutely written by the AI too
I like heard the UESC aggro sound in my head when the second cube scrolled onto my feed.
Jesus Christ.
Kicking it down to the magistrate who immediately says “nah man, this is too fucked even for me” and kicks it back up.

Am I… understanding correctly here that this is the defendant’s attorney arguing that they can’t make their client available for deposition in a civil case because then she would have to admit to crimes?
Can’t stop thinking about these straight up Tom of Finland-lookin ass costume test pics for a guy auditioning for a Hays Code-era movie musical based on a children’s comic strip.
Search your camera roll for “Hell”
It went so well last time!
Dems trying the 2004 strategy a quarter century later:
Anyway, that little moment stuck out to me, and what it says about the fascist inability to handle the fact that other people can also make decisions, keeps rattling around in my head every time this administration gets surprised by consequences.
Like, the ultimate goal of fascists (“people who disagree with us [lunatics] must not be allowed to exist”) is so impossible to achieve in a world with free will that they sound stupid saying it, but they, oblivious to the stupidity, believe it so deeply and say it like it’s the most obvious thing.
I generally get the critique of OBAA that it uses state violence and radical resistance as aesthetic setting without meaningfully engaging with the underlying ideas, but I do think it has some incisive moments.
Like when the guy says the goal of the Christmas Adventurers Club is “no more lunatics.”
The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.
Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?
I also get the sense that Vance and Hegseth have never really liked or respected one another (Heartbreaking: worst person you know etc.).
Hmm, yeah...
He knows this thing is going kill any chance he has at 2028.
(Suddenly understanding that one lyric from Rocky Horror)
Ah.
This is not a response to the sartorial commentary, but—
I don't think I've ever seen a forehead vein get visibly more prominent so quickly outside of a cartoon than in this edit of Coleman Domingo quickly going through the Hot Ones wings.
Same! Not even during peak Covid!
Extremely “Austin in 2026” moment:
Saw a group of young guys who looked in town for SXSW waiting for a Waymo, then seeing it approach and smiling/waving like you do when you spot your rideshare car, then collectively remembering it’s a driverless car and looking sheepish for having waved at a bot.
Hamsom man.

They really seem to have thought that the *only* reason the US hadn’t started a war with Iran in the past half century was simply “everyone who came before was just too big of a pussy and wasn’t badass enough to try it.”
This, weirdly, is directly related to his fixation on physical fitness in the ranks.
He's a vain little priss who had to keep a trim figure for the years he spent as a daytime TV host when one of his only job duties was "be pretty for the camera," and he associates "not looking pretty" with failure.
It's kinda funny that the player icon not displaying on the map when playing as Rook was just a bug. I thought it was just another instance of Marathon saying "git gud, fucko"
So, these changes are all really promising, came out really fast, and specifically address some of the issues I was having.
I feel like it bodes really well for the game long-term if Bungie is able to sustain this responsiveness to the community.
Y'all... this one might have the juice.
