Europa Universalis V is out. Proper chuffed. Time to throw out my top five game studios:

1) CD Project Red
2) FromSoft
3) Rockstar
4) Paradox
5) Bungie (excluding current form)

Today was a very stupid day but I have faith tomorrow will be stupider

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

Hey kids the Trump Healthcare
Plan just dropped!

Saw Tweedy at First Ave last night. He was great!

But observed too many of these IQ test indicators:
1) Taking photos of band playing on your phone? -5 pts.
2) Taking video? -10 pts.
3) Taking video with flash on? Full standard deviation of -15 pts.

Post you from a different era (1992ish)

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.

Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.

Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

I was right about her 10 years ago.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

He posted an AI video of himself shitting on Americans six days ago

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

it wouldn't fix everything but you could do a lot to improve journalism by simply straight out banning the passive voice

This demolition is a statement of *ownership*

Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic.

Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

Name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait.

good morning

Between santos and Argentina, feels like trump is really overplaying his hand

What does Trump gain gain by commuting Santos? Seriously, who—even in his sociopathic base—cares about that creepy greasy-faced weirdo? I don’t get it.

Cognitive dissonance: cheering for the small-market Brewers because it’s moral and good, and also cheering for Shohei Ohtani (and the Dodgers, I guess?) because he’s the greatest who’s ever played and just watching him feels like being part of history.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

Happy ‘Jürgen Klopp Appointed Manager’ Anniversary to those who celebrate! Ten years ago today. #LFC

Lil’ Himmler is pissed!

This is the correct take.
