If there is a second pandemic, the US is going to be screwed. There is no plan other than to let it burn through the population while these jokers sell a healthy diet (i.e. all beef) and exercise as the cure. And maybe some unrelated drug that makes you poop yourself raw in a Walmart.

BASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?

One thing that bums me out about Online these days is that I love reading stuff and discussing it, because I really like having conversations with people and understanding how they think. But the meta right now feels so geared towards judgmental armchair psychoanalysis.

I used to love The Discourse™, and now, I’m just exhausted by it. Every time it kicks up, I have to play detective to figure out wtf everyone is talking about, and it makes me want to just delete these dumb apps off my phone forever. I hope the proposed MySpace revival is good.

Today is the official release of Halo: Campaign Evolved, but does it feel like it? One overlooked aspect of the "Pay us extra and you can play the game the week before" strategy is it often feels like the social media conversation is over before the game even launches.

@lukethomas.bsky.social you mentioned Dr. Doom/Thanos this week. It immediately brought to mind this famous scene from the comics. Also, any chance of the politics live chat on the podcast feed? I typically listen while I’m doing other things and it would make it easier. Thanks for all you do!

Fired up College Football 27 to start a Dynasty file and oh my god the NIL stuff is so complicated and unappealing to me I just turned it off. I’ll try again another day.
