as a parent

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

TRUMP: We’re touching the stove, folks. We’re touching it like never before. They’re saying the stove is too “hot” but we don’t believe them do we

DIPSHIT BOAT OWNER IN CROWD (BARELY AUDIBLE): Hell no!

Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.

Watching Durant sprint on loop to calm down

Franklin lacked, uh, for lack of a better word, a theory of the team. Don’t know how to explain it other than pointing to what he put on the field in 2025 and told us was his best product yet.

At the time I loved the Knowles hire but "What if we prioritize epically owning Ohio State in our DC search and hire a guy whose defense is a bad fit for our best defensive player" might not have been a great process

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Man what

A pair of ivory with ebony inlay German dice from the late 17th Century. One appears as a male, the other female. They are nude and squat in a roughly cubic shape with black pips marking the different die faces.

Modern D6 are boring.
These 17th & 18th Century dice made Game Night with grandma far more exciting, were educational, and carried only a slight potential of being cursed, before Big Cube came in and ruined everything.

sure but it’s like getting a brain injury and being able to speak fluent Italian to him

This guy gets it.

dawg🥹

oh no

sorry, but this is a guenztel moment

No, this is the correct vibe and term for this game

We begin to understand hockey better when we realize that More Hockey is actively hated by its biggest fans.

Reasonable. Will fade as soon as we begin to imagine the White House visit.

WHAT

Please hold

Canada loses this game and begins a full scale invasion with air support from President Xi. We will be liberated

YouTube video by Olympics Alysa Liu wins the Olympic gold medal for the United States

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.
