Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

Seems likely, I loved that trilogy! I discussed it with @csavagepoker.bsky.social on his podcast, maybe other places as well.

Great short video by TransLink explaining “the empty bus lane myth”

Hello everyone! I am working on a story for The Guardian about how Chicagoans are preparing for the possible arrival of federal troops, following President Trump's statements on the matter. Right now, I'm looking for residents, community organizers, business owners, and other folks to talk to!

I started saying "Oh heavens" as joke when something startled me but I said it often enough that it became a habit and now I am just a guy who says "Oh heavens" when he's startled.

Incredible how much this man looks like Valchek

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

Thanks very much!

I don't, unless I just down relevant info as soon as the hand ends. I believe Carlos records his screen while he's playing

Faith does seem to pay a role

God people play so weird.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

#ignition $15 #tripleup #onetabletourney. Recently more locked in on decisions after drilling on wizard. More studying to do. Loved @thinkingpoker.bsky.social #GTOWizard coaching about hypothesis testing. The coaching is one of the real perks of #GTOWizard

Watching a GTO Wizard coaching video as a warm-up for this evening's session only to find the coach is quoting me in the video. 🤓
