This really is a great picture:

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

!! … ah

Interesting story but I don’t see what him being bi has anything to do with it.

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

In five games as Man United manager, Michael Carrick has already beaten Pep Guardiola, Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta twice 😲

The other game was a draw with Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea 👏

I want to talk about a dystopian world we are entering - where every moment, event, and crisis just become commodities.

Life stops being something we live, but something we sell and trade. It will breed both corruption & emptiness.

Tweet from Jack Posebiec, above a picture of the tanker bug from Starship Troopers (1997): "From this angle it is clear the Tanker Bug had just dropped her larva off at school and panicked when Rico threatened her"

Rightwing influencers are so bad at interpreting source material that they can only do it correctly by accident, when they're trying to make a joke

you just sort of wish you could disappear and come back whenever this nightmare is over.

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The Second-Order Streisand Effect is a social phenomenon where if a party makes an effort to censor information, discussion and news about the censorship paradoxically leads to an increased awareness of Barbara Streisand, a musician whom most "Zoomers" would probably have otherwise never heard of

if your product can induce suicides, I think it's not sufficient to put a label on it saying, "warning, don't use this for suicides."

The debate about Avatar "having no cultural impact" is kind of a smokescreen for the actual argument which is that Avatar is "boring" and "bad" and "has terrible characters, worldbuilding, plotting and dialogue"

The greatest movie ever made is FREE on Youtube btw

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

Can I play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 if I haven't played the first 32 games?

"there's a new serif in town"

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and my town is flooded with cocaine now that Trump pardoned all the traffickers. But at least the State Department is using Times New Roman again.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Only first two months of the year, i uninstalled Spotify after that, but I'll take it

R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.

Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name. When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".

Just as the word clanker now serves as a slur for chatbots and agentic Al, a new lexicon - including secondhand thinkers, ChatNPC, sloppers, and botlickers — is being workshopped by people online to describe the kind of ChatGPT user who seems hopelessly dependent on the mediocre platform.

Ohhhh these are good
