Looks like their newsroom is gonna be in what used to be the local “World of Beer.” seems normal

Our city newspaper has been bought by a local freight magnate which *feels* old fashioned but upon further investigation it seems like actually he’s a a guy who runs a freight based website and podcast network. concerning

Do not buy the war crime n64.

We gotta kick Palmer Luckey outta retro gaming I’m sick of seeing him throwing his loser ass government contract money around in my hobby

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

Once again, I think that “he ruined my favorite website” is more than enough reason to hate that ghoul

just a real all timer moment

"well I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic" from the Oceangate interviews remains the funniest identity redaction I've ever seen the man knows the ocean

quickly losing patience with seasons 3-4 of the bear. I understand that the point is that everyone’s stuck in the time-loop of trying to keep the restaurant afloat, but this used to be the kind of show where 1 specific thing happened in each episode. it’s torture to watch no one do or learn anything

Very cool to hear @seanfennessey.bsky.social and Amanda talking about Chattanooga’s IMAX on today’s Big Pic episode - the aquarium posted a really cool story about how they saved the 70mm projector from being literally cut in half, and were able to get it reinstalled! tnaqua.org/at-the-aquar...

just re-read this after Keller showed up in the finale of the 3rd season of The Bear; it’s still one of the best things I’ve ever read.

Chronicle restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan went to the French Laundry for dinner. Then Thomas Keller, one of the world's most famous chefs, asked her to leave.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

NEW: As cyclosporiasis cases jumped, the company linked to the outbreak - Taylor Farms - effectively delayed a recall that mounted in consumer confusion. Gift link for @business www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...

My favorite tiktok was one where a guy angrily slurred to his friend “the only kind of fight i do is a rock fight… rock fight me” but it got deleted ages ago - this is the clear number 2. A whole universe is contained in these 8 seconds

The intro tech Caleb and Aaron came up with is so good - I just got the Japanese exclusive X-men cartoon intro and my brain was just automatically breaking it down with the ruleset. Good stuff!! youtu.be/Bl_Z-Acf6Sc?...

I streamed some trails in the sky a few years back and it ended with me scrolling GameFAQs and being baffled by the guide writer's basic assumptions about my understanding of the orbment system

woke stifler@yelix.bsky.social · last yr.

i really like the way they streamlined orbment stuff in Cold Steel. it’s way closer to the way Materia works, which i guess is less interesting, but also i don’t have to do math so it’s good

Ok so I’ve just learned about a short form interview series Lucille Ball did in 1964 where she interviewed contemporary celebrities like Andy Griffith and I’m losing my mind a little bit. even beyond radio, podcasts have existed for forever and they were all prefigurations of the Amy Poehler show

Jackson@jacksoninacup.bsky.social · 12mo ago

A pretty pivotal part of a good podcast is the sense that if it went away, the hosts would be genuinely adrift. You don’t get that from Swift of Poehler. Give me real grubby malcontents. Give me improv comedians who are sure this will push them over.

I don’t buy this for even a second, it feels like the most obvious attempt at a scapegoat. I believe in my soul that RFK Jr thinks the Doritos Locos Tacos are ideologically evil

Federal and state health officials are reportedly investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in one of the largest U.S. outbreaks of an illness that causes explosive diarrhea

I’ve slowly been buying up a large collection of CONCRETE comics at a shop near one of our plants when I get sent out on business trips and i am just as shocked as you to learn that Mitch McConnell is in this comic and he killed Concrete

my theory that barstool is just evil the ringer is complicated by the fact that Pat McAfee looks much more like an Evil Bill Simmons than portnoy does
