Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

I don't know what I would have guessed the second paragraph would contain, but it...wasn't that.

"I just watched a sociology PhD skip eight weeks of analysis".

Hope those eight weeks don't come up in their thesis defence, otherwise they are *boned*.

Okay but Elijah trash-talking the Priests of Baal is hilarious. "Your god can't hear you; he's probably busy taking a shit!"

Big "late 2010s Amstel" vibes from the current state of the race.

i thought it was too dangerous and totalitarian here in new york city, that's why i moved to a strip mall located in the desert between four separate countries with nuclear weapons that hate each other and are constantly at war

Took a week off from OC Transpo while travelling and somehow the LRT became even more of a mess in my absence.

β€œLegally speaking, the Strait of Hormuz is open. Operationally, it's too risky to operate. β€œ The words of the head of the UN’s International Maritime Organization, Arsenio Dominguez. He was talking to CGTN’s Iolo ap Dafydd about the crisis at the world’s busiest oil route.

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

Forget who it was, but a line from Bluesky that's stuck with me is that Marx longed for what came after capitalism, and too many modern "Marxists" long for what came before it.

For those pearl-clutching over the damage done to Kobe’s legacy by Bam Adebayo last night, Kobe still
leads Bam in sexual assault allegations, so you guys still have that to lean on.

Cackling at how they still find a way to be like "though this is obviously all Rahul Gandhi's fault". Gotta play the hits.

My brother often says you can only be as big of an asshole as you are talented, and he was simultaneously a bigger asshole than he thought he was and less talented than he thought he was. You can ride that dynamic for a time but when your peers finally get a real opportunity to shiv you, they will.

I feel like part of what killed him was that his piggishness was so out in the open. The moment the Wolfers/Modestino/Seminar Dyamics Collective paper first dropped, you could feel the entire field think "Larry Summers" in unison.

Proper Democratic tax reform would have high income wage earners unaffected but car dealers and Elon Musk blowing their own brains out.

My whole life, I have found hate an extraordinarily hard emotion to latch onto for any long period of time. It’s like gripping a scorchingly hot cast iron pan. In some meaningful way, to hate is to destroy a part of yourself.

I feel the below deep in my soul and fear I will never unfeel it.

This passage is the best page in the entire Tolkien Legendarium by a staggering margin, and I am forever mad with how it got whiffed in the (otherwise excellent) films.

β€œThe enemy also gets a vote” is like the basic foundation of military strategy for the last 2500 years. And yet!
