Horned Beef Cache

oh yeah I think he came up on John Oliver the other day. I just assume that family is bad news

what the fuck is Skydance even anyway? I had never heard of it until the whole Paramount thing. It sounds like it should have something to do with pegasi, but is actually some bullshit corporation because we can't have nice things in this reality

I remember when it took multiple players *working together* to defraud sports bettors. Now any average Joe can just make the "under" bets on him win by oopsieing out of a game early for mysterious reasons, like me intentionally stepping out of bounds and DQing myself during Warball in junior high

honestly the biggest take-away from today's New York mob poker story, for me, is that it's still the same Five Families as in the 30s. You'd think there would have been mergers and acquisitions and just one Bonanno-Colombo-Gambino-Genovese-Lucchese-Skydance family by now

in a climate full of hyper-granular prop bets like Player X Drops Pants During First Minute of Q3, of course Player X is gonna get paid off by the mob or whoever and those pants are gone come down right on schedule

I had been thinking about not carrying on, and perhaps also crying some more, but then got some good advice from a song

(This is a pop music shitpost; unicorn is doing fine)

"Mega Man 1 is virtually impossible to beat" is it though? you just get like 6 of those floating tooth guys on the screen at once in the right way and suddenly the stage is over?

I love speedrunning and TASes but they've slightly tarnished my own estimation of some childhood classics. Now it's like, oh, SMB3/SMW? you mean those games where you can walk up to the first block, hit it in a weird way, and you're in the ending credits? Yeah I don't know why we found those hard

everybody loves beam search, the lovely technique in which the wide "beam" of possible candidates prevents you from getting stuck in a local optimum

10 MINUTES LATER: we regret to inform you that your beam search is stuck in a local optimum

this image broke my brain for a hot second. I guess the Dodgers have a pitcher named Dodgers? And 12+ players on the field, and Muncy and Ohtani way out there ready to snag, uh, any really extreme fouls? I thought we were past the days of such egregious shifting?

D'awwwwwww, sweet

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Ilios has always been a charmer 🔥🐮

89% chance this is a Russian oligarch family

"quantum machine learning" so desperately wants to exist and really doesn't

Smart money: family offers £180,000 a year for tutor to get one-year-old into Eton Family seeks tutor from ‘socially appropriate background’ who can provide infant with ‘comprehensive British cultural environment’

this is ragebait, I know. but yeah, phrases like "socially appropriate background" are doing a lot of not-so-quiet work there

it's like Fantastic Fours coming out, where every time there's this unpleasant deja vu like... didn't this just happen? isn't it too soon? And even at that point, hadn't that just happened? And wasn't it too soon then? And so on all the way down, a hall of mirrors

I feel like a seemingly identical story has appeared like every few months for the past N years, so forgive me for tuning out The Boy Who Cried Quantum Supremacy

was really hoping Spirit's costume version of It would be called something like Unpleasant Clown or That, but alas

It's true, she really is

Had a dream that McDonald’s had a big ad campaign that just said “WE HAVE IT” in black cryptic writing. So I went to a drive thru and said “I saw the sign. Can I have it” and the speaker was silent for a solid ten seconds before saying “do you think you’re ready” in my voice and I screamed and drove away

more seriously I don't understand how anyone *hears* anyone else at most bars let alone exchanges any sexual information

my understanding, from outdated pop music, is that you want to look for someone who drives a funky car. But if you're looking for deeper love, you want to try a club

Shaded picture of werewolf drgn jumping in the night sky, the bright full moon behind him. He looks like an excitable dog leaping, paws outstretched.

Enough of capitalism hellscape it's time to wolf out to the moonlight ❗❗

YAY

I suspect it's not a magus spell, which is probably all the best (or worst?) for my character's waistline. I do love the idea of just casually eating a rock

Well someone got boardwalk on like day 2 so now Park Place is but a hollow whisper of riches long since parked in some other dragon's hoard

Yeah my big takeaway is that he appears to convincingly fill a gap that mainstream society otherwise isn't handling, and for people who crave his illusion of control and a path to sex and wealth, his misogyny and the history of webcam girl pimping (and worse) just don't matter, just like with Trump

Pathfinder 1 does have the Allfood spell, which I used many a time to turn rocks etc. into bland but filling food!

I don't know why this is so funny to me. Did I, McD's? Can you look me straight in the face and tell me that what I won is FOOD
