I don't doubt it. When I was a student I invented the fried bacon fried banana fried sandwich and I definitely feel I missed a trick by not putting salted caramel on it.

Correct. I've always thought banana and bacon belong together.

Pooka and I went to check out the Nintendo Museum on our trip to Japan this summer. Here's what we thought about it, recorded mostly in the hotel room on the day we went! #retrogaming #Nintendo youtu.be/xjMkdqi8dQA

I won't ever knowingly purchase a game that was made using generative AI. I don't care to play what people didn't care to create.

I know it's tough - but your tentative endorsement of cycle lanes on Bluesky could be the extremist action that makes voters in Normville turn away from Jennifer Nice, the now-tainted Democrat candidate, and instead reluctantly support her opponent, Shitlord K. Hitler

In Germany they don't say Planeswalker they say FlugzeugspatziergΓ€nger*in and I think that'sΒ beautiful.

I'm watching your video on it now and I agree. I should explain I stopped putting money into Magic Arena since... I don't know there are so many reasons and I just need a fun way to use my excess gold to win some gems. I think you're right though and even then quick draft is better value. This sucks

Seems like an okay way to maybe turn some gold into gems but otherwise waaaaaaaaay overpriced.

There are clearly advantages to a nationalised ID scheme. You've got reason to be skeptical about Starmer for sure but I don't get why British people are so weird about ID in general.

Well no but what is? He's a faceless void, a principles-shaped gap in the air.

Sure but at least he's talking about sensible and relevant advantages of the scheme that are actually true rather than the anti-immigrant nonsense he started with.

Probably but I hope people have positive reasons too. It doesn't matter as long as they get the votes and this slogan feels like it could be resonant. The last time I had hope was voting for Starmer to lead Labour and I lost it as soon as he revealed he'd lied about everything. I kind of miss it.

I dislike it for the same reason, also because it echoes MAGA and in doing so gives validation to the MAGA movement and the false nostalgia on which it's built (despite being tongue-in-cheek).
That said, if it turns out to be effective I think the Greens should do what they have to do at this point.

Hang on, Kemi Badenoch said in her speech she wanted a country where "reward matches effort"? 100% tax on inheritance then, is it?

Also absolutely wild to me that getting cancer in the US is expensive, like it's a luxury you have to pay for, and half the country is apparently fine with this?
