Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

me & the boys misunderstood the arcane nature of the sword & the stone, and using a toyota and some chains to pull it from the stone resulted in the Toyota becoming the new king of england

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

My Apple Music station took me from Twilight Force to Kneecap to something of the SquareEnix “Mellow Minstrel Mix”. We’ve bonded.

Orcas try to offer food to humans.

Is a hippopotamus at separate species or just a really cool opotamus?

I feel like there’re follow up to be had regarding using python I software for commercial airliners.

Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island could merge and make a really great Canadian Province, too.

I am deeply embarrassed by my nation, and am certainly more proud that I am from the staunchly anti-all-of-this state of Massachusetts than I am to be from the USA. Kind of always have been, when you get right down to it.

Sigh, he’s got a while

Anyone primarying Schumer yet? Would like to donate

I grew up at the point RI-CT-MA all meet and distinctly remember several Halloweens trudging over snow banks, and seeing snow in mid-October. That NEVER happens now, about the same time difference.

Today my totally-normal-in-every-way mind started putting together a math formula to determine whether it was cheaper to buy worse coffee that required way more coffeemate to make palatable or better coffee where the coffeemate lasted several weeks. Borderline subconsciously.

crazy to think that fifty years from now when you say ‘nazi rocket guy’ people won’t think of werner von braun

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Elon Musk would be interested in buying Liverpool FC, claims father The father of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, claims his son would be interested in buying Liverpool

So now we can: leave X for BlueSky and maybe soon leave red Liverpool for Blue Liverpool (Everton)

Field goal kick, miss, penalty, they get to kick it over. Another kick, made but the other team called a time out. Third kick, made, halftime. I’m now actively cheering against Green Bay for subjecting me to this crap between the dumb penalty and a time out, injecting needless tedium.

There IS a stretch in the middle where it drags, which could/should have been condensed, but is otherwise great. I rate it higher than X and XIII personally, but I know folks would consider that blasphemy.

Next we’ll hear Blockbuster is still thriving up north. Kidding aside, I would absolutely do a nostalgia tour.

Sure, why not?

God bless you little porcupine,
Let nothing you dismay
You have evolved convergently
And that is all OK
While hedgehogs get the photo-ops
And higher average pay
You bring tidings of squeaking and joy
(Squeaking and joy)
You bring tidings of squeakiness and joy

I feel like there’s an awful, Kier and Piers travel show to be done featuring he and Piers Morgan, and I’m afraid the fact I thought of it will make it manifest like a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

It’s happened to my daughter multiple times this school year

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Sean Connery stays

Blame him? I’ll say maybe…

I’ve considered vastly overpaying for tix to the closest reunion show (Meadlowlands), but my sister pointed out resale tickets aren’t refundable and there’s a not-insignificant chance this blows up before that show.

Thundercat was a great contributor too

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the holy trinity.
