Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

not a super high bar

So the women’s hockey team got fresh pasta at a swanky restaurant in Milan with Stanley Tucci and the men’s team got cold McDonalds in a room blaring Toby Keith where the President didn’t even eat with them. Y’all idk if you’ve noticed but the patriarchy sucks FOR YOU.

Previously this. I think this is why people "think less of" colleagues who are producing these words. hbr.org/2025/09/ai-g...

you have a hot okonomiyaki, katsuobushi curling on top. you squeeze on the kewpie. at what point do you have warm mayo?

have you tried using mayonnaise as the 'butter' on the outside of a grilled cheese? can recommend. though I guess that's hot. perhaps warm is the uncanny valley of mayo.

You know that thing where Brian Scalabrine once said, "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me?" Pretty sure that's true of "the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man," an LLM, and the average person's understanding of either.

I would tread carefully, I heard one of those guys might really be a wolf?

Is it good when everyone in the Personnel section has their own article

I pulled up to hell just to show this video on my phone to J. Edgar Hoover, he’s thrashing his horrible little body against the bars of his tiny cage and making spluttering noises, it’s actually kind of awesome

Everyone in the world hates him and no matter how much money he steals he’s still miserable because he has the brain of a teenage incel stuck in the body of a mutated grub. He can’t come up with any good ideas and everyone who knows him thinks he sucks shit because he’s annoying. Poor guy

just finished serving dinner my kids, now we're gonna go build limited decks

pretty sure that's at least in the Rufus Wainwright song

they think "california" refers to a hilton hotel with a pirate ship outside

Reports of Expatriate’s Demise Aren’t Exaggerated The longtime bar on NE Killingsworth appears to have closed — but not before laying the groundwork for other cocktail bars in the neighborhood.

Feeling weirdly emotional about the closing of a bar I go to like once a year. Expatriate was 100% its own thing, this is a blow to the whole neighborhood's character pdx.eater.com/restaurant-n...

I wish I enjoyed anything as much as Peter Heller enjoys establishing a person's character by describing how they fly fish.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

hey Andrei I see the mistake you're making. you're analyzing this conceit as a logical one, instead of purely as a way for people who write articles to chastise "the left." hth.

They met in 2019 on the skeleton World Cup circuit, a series of competitions held in the winter, mostly in Europe. During the Covid-19 pandemic, hotel rooms were in short supply, so they shared accommodations. Love soon followed. They were engaged in 2024 during a trip to Brazil, and even that was a competition. Ms. Silveira popped the question and Ms. Meylemans said, “No!” — because she was carrying a ring in her pocket and had planned to do the proposing.

Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

This is so spot on
