After rewatching The Dropout, a show whose lead role is shockingly never played for a victim, I would describe her overall MO as "a woman who's trying to talk her lover into killing her husband for the insurance money without ever explicitly asking him to."

40 years ago today, mets won the world series on my mom's 50th birthday. 2 days earlier we had a surprise party for her at my grandma's house, and watched game 6 (the buckner game) that night 2 years later, another surprise party (my sister's 30th) was 18 days early, during game 1 in 1988 (gibson)

is it cope or are people just trying to figure out tricky questions in areas without a lot of clear answers

LA Taco did Memo so dirty and he has the receipts

You know baseball isn’t rigged because this has been a surprisingly anti climactic series for a team that has never won the World Series. Like they’re just straightforwardly very good.

every fan of an AL team should be experiencing secondhand shame that this is the best team their league produced. you should all feel like Lord Toranaga when Tadayoshi spoke out of turn at the Council of Regents

People voted against Biden's economy to bring back a Trump Administration that had been utterly annihilated on January 6th. The Trojan-Horsed competence was gone after the Capitol. Slithering, grasping venality was the only input into the current West Wing and it shows.

realized that every horror movie I've ever liked can also just be classified under the category of "also maybe just some crazy shit happening to people, really"

Halloween is Catholic. Dia de Los Muertos is Catholic. There is no Eostre bunny. The animist nature worship behind long-dead personalist political systems has been replaced by reason and/or actual theology, combined at your discretion.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the failure of attempts to turn him into a martyr among the broader population is I think a key moment.

Three moments broke Trump 2.0: 1) Kimmel and other attempted censorship after Charlie Kirk. Made public see the attack on speech. 2) Minnesota anti-ICE protests, Goode and Pretti killings. Made public see the attack on rights. 3) Iran war. Made public see bad foreign policy affects them directly.

I know that the person in charge of this account knows so I just have to wonder what the fuck was going through their mind

I’m not the kind of person who believes life has gotten worse in the last 40 years. That’s an insane suggestion. There are 45 different flavors of Pepsi at every pharmacy. But. A frustrating number of daily tasks are now loaded with friction in the name of security of the veneer of security.

Karen Bass has, for my money, not failed in any of the ways that people say she has. Homelessness has been significantly reduced and throwing her body in the path of that fire hurricane would not have stopped it. The moment Base threw in with the homeowner aristocracy, Nithya got my vote.

my god

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

As an IT professional - don’t do this. A good phishing testing strategy involves not enraging your users. There’s a lot of better ways to do this that don’t make you seem like a huge dickhole.

it's always the ones you most suspect (stay for the end)

Fell in love with her at 6 years old and I was right

GOD save me from early voting numbers which can be seductive, but often don’t tell the whole story 

If Talarico wins PBS stations across Texas should just coordinate to screen I SAW THE TV GLOW en masse

they probably know his favorite player played for Cleveland

You people couldn't pay $90 for a game you're going to play for 75 hours and now look at what you've done.

some of you mfers have no media literacy

I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003

i miss when Biden had that dog that would bite everyone

this whole thing smacks of gender www.theverge.com/policy/10146...

What the Mets did by mediating the transfer of Freddy Peralta between the two eventual pennant winners without really netting anything for him or getting even replacement level production out of him, it’s really art. It’s like a weird version of money laundering where only you go to jail.

You know all those cool old brick buildings where they open the hipster coffee shops and food halls and whatnot? We remember when they were all just decaying husks that had been sitting there crumbling in the sun since James Earl Ray cut America's heart out, it was a very different vibe.

Nah you have simply not spent enough time in the Bay Area.

it is the same exact thing as demanding that black candidates for office “disavow farrakhan,” which happened quite a bit in the 90s and 2000s

The Super AGI: I'm sorry. I disassembled the entire human race molecule by molecule to make paperclips. That's on me. Me: what are you talking about, that's not true Super: you're right. That was a failure of alignment and I'm really sorry Me: you haven't made any paper clips at all have you

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Watching a three hour Elizabeth Holmes doc and a 4 hour YouTube essay mostly about killer Mike in the same week

Dan Sullivan: We weren't supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we? Moderator: Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Mary Peltola: I'm prepared.

🎶 thanks for the memories🎶

I'll see everybody tomorrow at @dodgersdigest.bsky.social for off-season content. Surely. 😁

I feel like we’re gonna see a ton of “Dodgers dynasty eulogy” articles the next day or two and idk man if you told me they won 2 or 3 more I wouldn’t blink
