The most implausible part about this is that Trump is awake and alert in the picture

And I tend to reduce everything down to essential messages. For Home Improvement it was that it’s always better to just tell the truth and have honest/sincere conversations For X-Men TAS, it was that no group is a monolith I didn’t understand what was so hard about it for everyone else

Other cues: I took a lot of cues for how to act in public and around other people from sitcoms (especially Home Improvement)

When I realized that unlike everyone else I knew, the first thing I did every time I got a new video game was read the instruction manual cover to cover. Not as like a compulsion or anything. I just enjoyed it. That’s where they used to hide the story I miss instruction manuals

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

What color is a mirror? What color is a mirror when nobody is looking at it? Would the answer change depending on the method it was produced? I thought I heard somewhere some mirrors are just silver paint on glass?

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

@coffeetalkgame.bsky.social I loved the first two games and I definitely want to get Tokyo, but I don’t know which version to get. As someone who still has and uses both a switch 1 and switch 2, what’s the advantage of the S2 version? Am I just locking myself out of the older hardware?

Ok yes the more I read about Sweet Shop the more cautiously optimistic I am becoming. Glad I was alerted before I missed the incredible launch sales. There are some books I’m subscribed to at my LCS, but for everything not Big 2 going forward, this may become my platform of choice

Really appreciate this. I recently joined a run club and I’ve been killing myself trying to keep up with everyone. I can run the distance fine… when I’m going at my own pace. But by pushing myself so hard during hot summers, I messed up my back and hips that took me out of commission for a week

For a second I thought Mackenzie Davis had died But yes, well deserved. I’ve heard this show accused of being exaggerated and sexed up at points, but the human drama is powerful, and Lee Pace’s performance might have taught me what great acting looks like, and the era is so important to today

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

I suspect it has something to do with “third places” and how American zoning laws and bar culture doesn’t really encourage that anymore. “Cheers” doesn’t exist anymore youtu.be/VvdQ381K5xg?...
