Honestly pretty sure that's it. The guy is not a deep thinker in any way.

The books were great. The show wasn't, in my opinion.

To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.

Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles was such a great show. It deserved to last more than 2 seasons.

I was intrigued too, but from the three cards I've seen so far I was not impressed. I saw no mechanical connection between the cards and what the characters do in-game, and Cloud's card is called "Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER" which makes me question whether anyone involved has played the game.

Wasn't it some weird crusade by Herb Caen? I've heard natives on both sides but it seems like most don't really care.

In general I'm opposed to the contrived acronym school of naming bills, but in this case I'll make an exception.

I watched that movie three times in one week when it was in the theater back in 1998.

I will watch anything by Jenny Nicholson no matter how long. But in general... the number of times I have said "I would watch that if it were 5 minutes instead of 30" is not low.

REDnote, if it becomes big, because it's also a Chinese app. The fundamental problem is giving the CCP the ability to shape public opinion through what the algorithm promotes and suppresses.

Shout out to all the neurodivergents, heading into a week of over stimulation, no routine, sky high expectations, and non optional socialising.

I see you.

The main argument for a Strategic BItcoin Reserve seems to be that Bitcoin holders worry about an impending shortage of greater fools and need the US government to act as the greatest fool of last resort.

I think you basically said it, but the more this is a "bonus" game (different director, reused assets) the more I like it. I don't want them to delay the next Soulslike for this, but if they're giving us something to keep us busy until the next big game in 2027, that's great.

The comic shows two columns: on the left is β€œThen” showing search results with one thing listed as β€œthe thing you want”

On the right column is β€˜Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:
