Okay, but can we take a moment to appreciate that the market is clearly paying homage to a classic album?

Can someone explain to me like I'm five why virtue signaling is bad here? Because the alternative isn't storming the local assembly to behead the enemies of trans folks; it's doing nothing. At least virtue signaling and sends a signal that you care. It's a small first step.

Losing, and having to invent a new chart to measure randomness in look-a-like competitions.

Shoe fit was on point, but I feel like they had an issue with the pants having a little extra room.

For the longest time I had Iron and Wine at the top of my Bands That Do Not Sound Like Their Names Imply They Should Sound list, but Greta Van Fleet has taken the top spot and its not even close.

That's Dave Matthews. He's now a Seattle resident, and other than an incident with his tour bus, seems to be generally on the decent human being side of many issues.

After reading that thread, I'm surprised he didn't just fake his own death to get out of that hearing.

I think we're going to need @jmcelroy.bsky.social to produce a new ranking of PNW foods served in novelty boats. Better served on a ferry, or in a ferry?

I really need to finish the NBC seasons of B99.

The 99
Lawful neutral. Governed by virtue and principle. You're a fierce competitor, you expect everybody to be better than who they are and you expect yourself to be better than everyone. โ€œWill any man despise me? Let him see to it. But I will see to it that I may not be found doing or saying anything that deserves to be despised.โ€ Chill out dawg, we love you regardless of how you act around Broadway and Main.

I have no idea how to interpret this.

This is exactly right. This is a very simple case of โ€œI am annoyed; thus the thing that is annoying me is harmful.โ€

Look, I'm going to need a poast that is at least three times as inflammatory and seven times as uninformed out of you on this topic. Now is the time to panic.

Why snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter when you can simply watch... Sabres-Bolts in season hockey?

This is amazing. Even if you dont follow curling, you should watch this and admire the skill.

I'm looking forward to seeing him get a real shot in the NHL. I'm curious about whether he gets a shot with the big club because he's obviously done well developing the youngsters, and that's got to be the focus for the next few years.

I'm also a man married to a woman with endo, and the minute our daughter starts exhibiting any symptoms, we are going directly to a specialist. It's wildly underdiagnosed; why would you fuck around with someone who literally doesn't specialize in this?

This is one of those "tricks you into caring" videos that I love. The kids and I had no prior exposure, but it sounded vaguely interesting to me, so we ended up watching the entire half hour on my phone on the couch. It's cool to see professionals nerd out over something :)

This. And shipping any new feature that impacts existing features tends to annoy country size groups of users, even if the feature is well specified and broadly thought of as good.
