Her: Are those flowers real? Me: We'll never know for sure, but for what it's worth I see them too. [Note: the opposite of "real" is "imaginary", not "plastic".]

Oblivion Remastered is supposed to include a visual upgrade from this 2006 game. I think they did OK

This is the most disgusted I have been by Trump, and I’ve smelled him…

Guys can we just revoke this baby’s victim card? So beta Seriously such a beta. This guy is absolutely unworthy to be commander of military men and women

My new desktop background from the video game "Oblivion Remastered." It suggests that evil lurks behind that door... and it does!

All Americans should watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtLs... Full disclosure: Zeihan is very far from a bleeding heart liberal.

Since The Elder Scrolls V (Skyrim) came out, we have been waiting for the "Skyrim killer." Who would have guessed it would be The Elder Scrolls IV (Oblivion)? #videogames

Here's a point I made a band rehearsal today: "Let's say I buy your car. We now have a trade imbalance because you have the money. But I have the car! You wanted the money more and I wanted the car more. We're both happy. Where is the problem?"

When #Trump dies, I'm not looking forward to the eulogies.

If Vladimir Putin had a button which would magically kill every American in the world without consequence to himself, he would push it. #Trump

Darkening days. @anntelnaes.bsky.social was indeed the canary in the coal mine.... www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I suspect my smart phone is retarded

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I watch videos of an excellent historian named Sarah Paine. One of her videos was titled something like: "The Most Dangerous Dictator of the Twentieth Century - Sarah Paine." Sarah, I'm so disappointed in you. You seemed so nice...

Something I would never write: RIP. Rest In Peace? The implication is that dead people are sometimes restless. I have a firm rule against contributing to superstitious nonsense.

Least useful line of enquiry: is X an illusion? where X is something we all experience such as time or consciousness. Charlatans often claim something is an illusion to imply superior understanding. A better enquiry is, "What the hell is X?" That focuses on the nature of X, which is the point!

It's not fair for God to punish me because Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. She did it. I didn't. I mean, let's face it: I WOULD HAVE but I didn't. Knowledge is tasty

"Strategy is for people who don't hit hard enough." -Testikles in video game Assissin's Creed Odyssey. Yes, that was his name.

Dear fellow Americans: you elected a stupid old man suffering from senile dementia. Now I see many of you wondering what reasoning lies behind his latest brilliant ideas, such as going to war with Denmark. Please stop. Drooling idiots don't use reasoning.

I think if a lawyer messes up, a doctor should be brought in to subject him to unnecessary surgery. I mean, fair is fair

Hypothesis: the West has used the Ukraine invasion as an excuse to slowly demolish Russia. Support to Ukraine was intentionally ramped up slowly to create war of attrition. The destruction of Ukraine was just an acceptable side effect. I hope I'm wrong. #ukraine

Good news: I haven't lost my touch in wrapping Christmas presents. Bad news: I never had any touch in wrapping Christmas presents.

I wonder if we couldn't improve our health care system some way besides shooting health insurance CEOs. I suppose it's the American Way, but still...

The brilliant Pat Metheny performs "Cherish", a 1960's hit by the Association. Gorgeous www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbW4...

I wonder why so many of my followers are women? Trust me, attracting women has never been my best thing IRL

Cycho's word for the day: "perfucked." That can be used when you're not just fucked, you're fucked to the maximum extent allowed by physical law. Stay tuned to continue your journey to a better vocabulary!

If you like classical music at all, you might want to look at this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEzm... It's really well done, informative, and amusing. Almost 4 hours long though

I object to calling MAGAts "conservative." True conservatives try to preserve our traditions. Sometimes that's bad (segregation), but often it's good (the constitution). MAGAts are bomb-throwing radicals who want to upend our institutions and are best traditions. They are in no way "conservative."

Prediction: Elder Scrolls VI will be widely hated, probably because it's mediocre, but even if it's unexpectedly excellent. Such is the current reputation of Bethesda Softworks.

I sometimes play a video game called "Starfield." My previous character was named Cpt. Jass. His first name was Hugh. But my new character is named Cpt. Attrick. First name: Jerry. Do you have favorite or novel video game aliases?

I dislike the term "climate change." It doesn't sound dangerous enough. It also implies that we don't know which direction things are going, so there is hope it isn't going anywhere. I regret that the term "global warming", which has none of these defects, seems to have fallen out of favor.

Jeff Tiedrich for the win:

It goes without saying that this is stupid, and I wonder what set it off. Was there a segment on Fox News? But I thought it might be worth a thread explaining what Trump (and, to be fair, some other international leaders) don't get about international money 1/

I was recently watching a video about old TV shows. I didn't realize the narrator was an AI until he pronounced "I Love Lucy" as "Vertical Bar Loves Lucy."
