“protein enriched chocolate chip cookie” is kinda the perfect synthesis of the conflicting american male desires to be a spartan warrior and also five years old
it’s hilarious how target has trading cards behind the counter now like cigarettes because of 35 year old scalpers
The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

With all respect to those who thought FJORD was complex and thought-provoking: What. Seriously, what.

public health guy@publichealthguy1.bsky.social · last wk.being a southerner with a lot of queer/exvangelical friends means i’ve seen a lot of people cut their parents off. and in every single case, it was an incredibly painful and difficult decision to protect oneself from parents who abused or stopped loving their child.
Late to this Bloomberg piece on Marc Andreessen. This is one of the key things. Andreessen is *angry* about how he has been treated, when any objective observer might note he has benefited enormously from the institutions he now purports to detest. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Nothing about the Ocarina Remake discourse is doing anything to disabuse me of the notion that Ocarina has gotta be one of the most overrated games of all time. Not because it’s bad, it’s really great! But hearing so many millennial reviewers gush about a ”perfect game”…
