Seeing someone hit their 2 year old in public for crying does hit different when you’ve got a 1 year old
Name consultant, fixer of literary names: Leave it to me, J.R.R. Let’s have a look here. Ahem. “At the back of the tavern sat the dark figure of a man. He would soon make himself known to the hobbits as Strider, but as the true king of men, he bore yet another name: Leonard Craisins.”
I’m also thinking about that time in the 80s they tried to put metric road signs up in America and people literally shot them

“Oh no we might have to help some of our fellow human beings” is a pretty perfect encapsulation of the disease at the core of our society, so thanks for that Also fuck you
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
It's not a coincidence that everyone still whining, in the year of our lord 2026, about covid lockdowns are all people who should be forcibly locked in their homes with all the doors and windows bolted shut from the outside while the rest of us just quietly forget that they ever existed at all
it's been a Very Bad Year for people who have fully rehabilitated and befriended george w bush but are still mad at ralph nader
I could just get mad at the dodgers but honestly I think I’ll just stop bothering with baseball for a while. There’s really no point and there are other things I can be doing with my time Congrats, dodgers. You’re great for the game
Dag.@3fecta.bsky.social · 3d agoWhat present do you get for somebody who seemingly has everything already? How about a 2 time Cy Young winning pitcher in exchange for prospects. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...
What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.
Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
I feel like I agree with this on principle but also I’m missing context so I don’t actually know what it means
Sam Turner@renrut-mas.bsky.social · 4d agoI will be accepting sincere apologies and £50 from each and every blue labour facebook uncle who squealed about Reform being a credible electoral threat. And when I say "sincere", I mean forehead to the floor and wailing and tears.
I’m not sure whether this is just a psychological difference or AI bros fundamentally don’t understand the nature of an artistic experience, but: I don’t want a personalised film/book/podcast. I want to see/read/hear the same one as everyone else, so I can read reviews or discuss it with my friends

Great numbers but worth noting that “extremely interested” and “extremely motivated” as modifiers are effectively useless. It’s wild enough that Talarico is up and gov is neck and neck
Hyde T. Voltyge@hydevoltyge.bsky.social · 6d agoFolks... this is a reputable pollster.. And the gov race!?! With "extremely interested" voters it's 53 Talarico - 47 Paxton. GOV: Abbott 50 - Hinajosa 49 !!!! Article claims "extremely motivated" there... 53 Hinajosa - 47 Abbott. Yeah uh what??? www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...
The crazy thing about El Sayed is that while there’s actual legitimate reasons to be concerned about a couple candidates on the left (mainly Kiros and Chevalier), there is just nothing there with him. It’s the same as Mamdani. Just pure Islamophobia, same as it’s always been with Tlaib and Omar
This is what gets me. genuinely how does this man keep getting work, this is the star of both Morbius *and* Tron: Ares!
Kayleigh Donaldson@ceilidhann.bsky.social · last wk.Sure, Jared Leto is a creep with multiple allegations to his name over the course of two decades, but you have to understand that he's also a mediocre actor who's a nightmare to work with and whose movies are critical flops that don't make money.
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
