@mranthropology.bsky.social Was that you on the Vergecast today? I think that makes you a thing this week.

@alexspeier.bsky.social I have no idea how to research this—what’s the earliest in a month that a team’s loss total has exceeded that of the previous month?

Pretty rich reading about this on a webpage that had to reload itself three times because it’s so loaded down with bullshit.

Weather modeling has drastically improved, so your flight is much less likely to experience turbulence, so you’re much less likely to boot all over the plane. There used to be so much plane puke.

So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary

I’m begging of you please don’t take my manifold.

If I was making a video denying the horrific abuse allegations against me, I would simply not dress like a mid-tier Russian gangster.

Dean Wormer. The guys in Outbreak who wanted to bomb the town.

Name a villain who was actually right.

The governors will simply call up the payroll department at every business and direct them to send all federal withholdings to the state. And the payroll folks, always sort of curious about what the inside of a prison is like, will readily comply. We’re all mad, but being stupid doesn’t help.

The home run derby is brought to you by a Ben Affleck character saying “ass plunder.”

Mitch McConnell is healthy as a horse and will be discharged from the hospital any month now.

In light of Kentucky law as I understand it and senate composition, liminal state Mitch McConnell is actually like a 90th percentile outcome.

Jaylen Brown seems like a good dude, but also like the NBA player most likely to decide he wants to learn about the federal reserve and emerge from a Tik Tok rabbit hole three days later taking about Rothschilds.

Stringer Bell was awfully young to need readers.

TIL that Alan Greenspan was alive as recently as yesterday.

When I was a kid I thought goalies were bullshit because I got it in my head that the purpose of soccer was to engender sympathy for people without arms.

Scott Foster is like if Angel Hernandez also had a gambling scandal.

I’m sorry, is this a well executed gag, or are there are actually robust capital markets within Minecraft?

a fun arc of this story about a Minecraft economic crash is watching as literal children reinvent CDOs, and it is still unclear to me whether they independently did so from first principles or if somebody knew about CDOs and introduced them as part of an unimaginably elaborate joke (16:09)

Looking through old pics and huge shoutout to whoever did the categorizing in the Phnom Penh airport bookstore.

Wemby’s legs freak me out. Feels like the most gruesome injury we’ve ever seen just waiting to happen.

Now to open up Bluesky and see some posts about the Red Sox manager situation…

Is Derrick White better at basketball than Dyson Daniels?

CJ McCollum isn’t going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe.

“This is All Things Considered, I’m David Green. Kawhi Leonard remains on assignment…”

Ballmer gives $80 million to NPR, with strings attached.

There’s an irony in reading about this on a website so crammed full of shit that my phone had to reload it twice before I got to the end.

"Using your phone in a theater that requires you to use your phone doesn’t make you a jerk, it just makes you complicit in a braindead business model." Read @davidehrlich.bsky.social on the sheer horror of QR codes at the once-mighty Alamo Drafthouse. www.indiewire.com/features/com...

Rick Caruso’s Private Fire Crew@amandasmith.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Yet again r/roadtrips is valiantly trying to save a European from their carefully planned itinerary

Jamba Juice Jr. VP for Marketing: And the show is called ‘DTF: St. Louis’? HBO: Don’t worry, it’s not what it sounds like. … HBO: It’s so much fucking weirder than that.

Nobody ever pulled a ladder up behind them faster and harder than Mohamad Atta returning his rental car 35 minutes before scheduled departure.

The only way I could respect this is if Bam said now he was going after Wilt’s other scoring record.

Spent most of his time at the horse track and the return address on the Christmas cards turned out to be a store that sold stoves, so… crimes?

Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?
