I need a supercut of how mad Mahomes is after almost every play. The schadenfreude is just so delicious

Hey @pocketcasts.com, my notifications are all off and have always been. Why the FUCK did I have a red dot on my profile and a bunch of bullshit tips and tricks notifications I didn’t ask for? You really seem to be pushing me toward canceling Plus after all these years

Ever type out a whole reply and then go “you know what? Never mind” and delete it?

@theverge.com I don't think your price comparison tool is supposed to do this 😂

@404media.co whew, y’all’s takes on the Tim Cook era are pretty fuckin rancid

@reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz @theverge.com the (unintentional?) ranker/rancor pun that David keeps making in today's podcast is glorious

mark zuckerberg spent $77 billion trying to make fetch happen

I think this is symptomatic of empathy burnout. So many people deserve a little of your energy and the bad in the world just keeps metastasizing and eventually you hit a wall. This is just your wall and it’s not an unfair one

Fuck you and your platforming of Graham Platner, @podsaveamerica.crooked.com I hadn’t really listened for a while but I took this opportunity to unsubscribe. I know it won’t mean anything, but I’m sick of hearing about this Nazi-adjacent person and his excuses for being Nazi-adjacent

@caseynewton.bsky.social hey dude, I just opened today’s Platformer and wanted to say congratulations on getting engaged!! Being married rules.

According to some who met him, the dude had a cutesy way of saying “that’s my totenkopf!” when asked about it! He’s probably not a literal Nazi, but he sure does seem like a shit human with shit decision quality, which means he’d make a shit senator

God. Fucking. Dammit.

lol just the best news. you almost gotta feel bad for the league’s worst fans

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social is it weird to tag you here because I was just listening to your brief history episode of Weird Little Guys?

Meanwhile, on X:

lol at the Pittsburgh crowd booing in the second quarter

lol what are these timeouts

Love that dudes are still out there doing the Marshawn as they get to the end zone on a big play

January 3, 2026: Today I am thinking about Rambo for the NES, another game I played at my mom’s friend’s. I was never very good at it, and I think tried to play it as a teenager in an NES emulator, but still wasn’t very good at it. I should give it one more try and save (state)-scum my way through

Day 2 of #365games, in which I'm 4 or 5 and getting my mind blown by the Sega Master System vmasten.beehiiv.com/p/january-2-...

When you’re getting facts from an unreliable narrator whose primary unreliability is that it wants to please you no matter what, you’re looking at sycophancy at best, delusion at worst. There are no good outcomes

I was inspired by @kyleor.land to take on 365 days of games via blogs and skeets after wishing I'd joined in last year. Wish me luck! vmasten.beehiiv.com/p/january-1-...

With a bonus tiny human

Despite knowing what he looks like, I had a whole conversation with Dave Matthews at the Apple Store where I worked without knowing who he was. As he walked away, my coworkers got all weird about it lol

The announcers have mentioned momentum flips so many times this quarter, it makes you wonder

I’ve tried so many email clients, but I think pinned tabs in Firefox fir Gmail and iCloud are going to be the way forward. Both are native interfaces and super responsive, certainly more so than Thunderbird

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

wait why is broncos/jets like this I started watching in the third and neither team seems to want to play offense

@thepressbox.bsky.social‬ only in journalism: "in stark contrast" (especially when the contrast isn't all that stark)

First thought is New Noise by Refused, which would have a strong intimidation factor, but I also like the idea of walking up to Wayfarer by Hot Water Music, with the crowd joining in for the gang vocals

I’ve held off canceling my WaPo sub because everyone always says I should support the regular journalists there doing good work, but…. I’m out.

I DO NOT WANT YOUR FAMILY SUBSCRIPTION, @nytimes.com. PLEASE STOP THROWING IT IN MY FACE EVERY FUCKING TIME I LOG IN

It is increasingly clear that this man’s plan to leave our planet includes destroying it

wait there are/were multiple wink martindales?

I hate it here

a nazi speaking at a nazi rally. it’s really not deeper than that.

The most craven part of this is the way Sam Altman obsequiously praised and credited Trump when he announced it

Lose Yourself was a bit on the nose earlier, but Oasis’ Fuckin’ in the Bushes after that Goff pick six was inspired

I’m 6’4” and will help when asked 100 times out of 100. I find reaching tall spots flat-footed to be delightful and helping someone who needs it costs me nothing

good fuckin luck dude

Wife LOVES all of the football documentaries, so even knowing what we were in for, wanted to give the Aaron Rodgers one a try. First episode was mildly hagiographic, but fine and an interesting reminder of his arrival and the Favre nonsense. Then, RFK Jr. showed up in the second ep, and we were out
