Blue Mind is a nice coffee joint, but putting outdoor seating on the bare sidewalk in front of 38th St is crazy #indy

Sonny Gray had elite third time through numbers in 2026 He was brutally bad third time through in 2025 Given the extreme unlikelihood that he discovered a magic elixir to an issue that's plagued basically every starter ever, you've got to treat this all as noise

I used to defend SM in general, but the more I take time away from it lately, the better I feel about life. And what's true here is true of reddit. The more you focus on specific communities, the better. Sometimes the firehose is fine (breaking news) but most of the time it's a rage generator.

I don’t know how I missed that the International School (down the road from me) put up a 30 foot Eiffel Tower replica but it has demolished my conception of that place.

The Good Wife is maybe the most underrated of all these. The last great 20+ episode drama. Week after week of fun, inventive stories in a usually formulaic genre. The Kings are great writers. The Americans was close too, but it really drags for stretches. Justified did too, but I love it more.

Had to do 14 for that tv list. Couldn't do ten and then squeeze any of these out Deadwood The Wire The Leftovers Andor 30 Rock Arrested Development Breaking Bad Veep The Good Wife Justified Terriers The Terror Shogun Hannibal Gilmore Girls was close but it hasn't aged well for me.

Seeing a few people go in on HR about this iced coffee thing, and it reminds me to ask - is it weird that I’ve only ever had good experiences with HR people?

I had the same gut reaction and then realized I had no good reasoning behind it. I think it’s rooted in being an Xer. Old notions of propriety and what not. Everyone carries beverages now and you’d just be disqualifying normal people for no reason.

You learn a lot rifling through the soundtrack section at the record store. Like how Dick Clark produced a B-movie in 1968 starring himself as a Clyde Barrow type, but still dressed like Dick Clark hosting American Bandstand. (plus a 'stache)
Soundtrack for The Killers Three. Apparently a crime movie that Dick Clark produced for himself to star in in 1968, wearing a baggy suit and a mustache, and holding a tommy gun.

Every Democrat running on the D side could simply not comment on trans issues at all and they'd suffer no meaningful consequences. At best it's running a 2024 race in 2026, and I think even that's a stretch.

Richard Linklater’s ‘Dazed and Confused’ was released on this day in 1993. It was a high school hangout comedy inspired by his Texas youth, which then shaped two more of his personal films decades later: buff.ly/Eed1Pqt

I like when people screenshot dunk and only halfway obscure the account name. It’s like “I don’t want everyone to go harass this person, only the highly motivated”

"The president is a stupid asshole" quickly became a trite observation but that's still the analysis that most accurately and succinctly explains almost everything that happens

IF you aren’t a candidate, there’s zero reason to be fussed about trans voters staying home. Apart from simply being sincere, there’s every reason for them to threaten to withhold votes before the election. It’s the best time to do it. Where they land on the day is up to them.

“the deaths of billions of sharks”
Screenshot of a skeet about Jaws:

The most destructive movie ever made leading to the deaths of billions of sharks, damage to ocean ecosystem they regulate as apex predators. Sharks are still undeservedly feared, killed, because of Jaws. There is no forgiveness for the damage done purely for human entertainment and monetary profit.

Peter Lorre on the new GTA trailer: "It's there all the time, driving me out to wander the streets, following me, silently, but I can feel it there. It's me, pursuing myself! I want to escape, to escape from myself! But it's impossible. I can't escape, I have to obey it. I have to run, run..."

It's funny cause when steam removes something from its store, you KEEP IT.. 90% of the time. There's only been a few cases where they took it but the dev was forced to give us something back. Most users buy something thinking it's THEIRS TO KEEP. Fuck Sony.
