I love Dagon. It's not good precisely but it's exactly what it needs to be.

Arsenal are moving what feels like an inevitable draw here and it's entirely down to what's been pretty cowardly play.

The good sort of stoicism, too, since a blush of stoicism often comes up in pos-masc imaginaries. Well, I screwed something up because I'm a goober, reckon I gotta find a way through.

And that's cool.

there's something to be said about how Harrison Ford's two big pop culture characters of Indiana Jones and Han Solo both have gigantic goober energy, like, both of them are constantly getting into Situations

it’s better to sail with a moody good captain than a laughing bad one

This 12th century Lewis Chessman piece depicts the berserker shield-biting practice of Viking warriors who gnawed on the edges of their shields in a rage-filled frenzy meant to terrorize their enemies.

Bothersome creature.

Hurting too much to judge right now deferring for now

One of the worst things is when you really like jalapeños and you're excited to eat a jalapeño but you bite into it and it's one of those outlier way hotter than normal jalapeños.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

I just laughed til I cried over the stupidest video of a guy asking his girlfriend to go get some donuts and sweet coffee, saying nothing for him at the drivethru, and her shouting at him "what the fuck is wrong with you this was your idea!"

I'm currently trying to sort out which of my registered ind friends who voted in a GOP primary for the first time I can credit for it.

Doing a rewatch with the kid and s6 and 7 are way worse than I remembered but s8 actually way better

Also I’ll note that Page isn’t necessarily running to Berger’s right. That would be pretty impossible. This is mostly about a potential casino in Rockingham County that locals are against.

It's way funnier if Berger loses by two votes than if he it were a blowout imo

RACE CALL:

All three North Carolina Democrats (Shelly Willingham, Nasif Majeed, & Carla Cunningham) who voted to overturn Governor Josh Stein's vetoes have LOST their respective Democratic primaries

If this holds on the inevitable recount LOL but also you've no idea how seismic this is for NC politics unless you live here or are an obsessive on the outside

I was told last week, because I think Siamese Dream and Gish are close to perfect albums, that Smashing Pumpkins is the most embarrassing thing I truly deeply enjoy and I was like yeah can't argue.

So far, the strongest "effect" of LLMs seems to be a compulsion to see this technology outside of history, and attributing pathologies to them that predate them. It's a bad way of thinking about this or any technology.

I just want votes to stop because I think that's awesome. Less flip, maybe it gives a little rhetorical daylight for a dem or three to wiggle into since they won't have to be brave

It's the between weather here in the old north state. 46, feels warmer but isn't, grey, put on coat because it's uncomfortable either way, 80 tomorrow

He sucks

Man, I don't want to hand it to Thom Tillis but here we are.

our society belched him forth, slathered him in gold and rubies, made him a star for decades and elected him twice to rule over us. you can split hairs all you want about who bears that blame, but our society produced, molded, and rewarded him and many many many like him

Iraq Starts Shutting Oil Output at Rumaila as Storage Fills Up Iraq started shutting oil production at the giant Rumaila field operated by BP Plc, according to a person familiar with the operation.

The children yearn for the Hacienda When I teach my Intro to Media Studies course, I have a taster week for cultural studies centering on identity, representation, and music. I structure the class to have regular screenings of something...

I wrote a little thing about American Zoomers' encounters with the idea of The Hacienda

I went and brought it back up. Totally unsure if it's useful.

I just watched a great video on the 80s/90s urban planner over there who explicitly, consciously tapped into the Mancunian cultural life.
