You wonder why nobody's tipping? Look at you, you're dressed like a peppermint stick and staring at the camera like you're doing balloon animals at a wake. Who the fuck pulls out a wallet to get depressed by a clown? Wash the greasepaint off and crack a smile.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

It is very important that everyone know that this is not okay. It's not okay in any way.

The pothole line tells me that Mamdani, the Mayor of New York, is having a positive halo effect on anti-Trumpism as a vibe. Hell yeah

"I was a dumbass for X, Y, Z reasons. Material reality made me see the error of my ways" is actually incredibly uplifting stuff, especially from a 25 year old with a blue collar job and a HS diploma. He was a teenager during Trump 1

Wisconsin is one of two states I've lived in whose insularity leads to the kind of evolutionary cultural craziness you find in animals in the Galapagos or language in isolated settlements. This is what hath been wrought in the name of sausage

This is such a better example of “welcome to the NBA” from Joakim Noah than a superstar dunking on him. I wanna hear about how Chris Kaman busted his ass so much more.

This is studied and documented across so many different contexts. Unless Americans are *forced* by active policy to be more inclusive and fair, discrimination against Black people is the default.

A good metaphor also for the moral bankruptcy of the techbro slogan, "move fast and break things," that was once seen, in some quarters, as innovative and cool.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

It’s important to realize that we, the players, are no longer the customers of video game companies. We’re just a source of money. The real customers are the investors, and no matter what, the companies need to keep them happy and show them that their investments are paying off.

This could be turned into a movie and just as easily be a comedy as a tragedy as a thriller.

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

Will also be fun to hear about how bad a Tampa - Milwaukee World Series is for ratings and business before they pivot back to "we have to crush the players so small markets can compete!"

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social

Not that it really matters but lol at the final 3 MLB teams being Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay going into an off-season where the corporate media will deluge fans with "the owners have to do a lockout so small markets can compete!" propaganda.

A huge pet peeve of mine is that literally the oldest and most basic genre of storytelling, the tragedy, has entirely vanished from mainstream big budget media for inscrutable and baffling reasons. The most recent original example I can think of that isn’t a remake/prequel might be Breaking Bad!

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

“i pay tax before, but still pay tax now?” We spoke with dozens of half-literate morons about the machinations of local governance. Here’s what they’re saying.

Politico@politico.com

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
