I truly have no idea if McGregor was injured before UFC 329 but I do know that it wouldn’t have mattered if his leg was falling off, he was fighting on Saturday. He’s trying to get out of his contract and this is the only way.

One of the great dualities of MMA is that no other sport has so many athletes who are both entirely pitiable while at the same time unworthy of even the slightest iota of pity.

In a world where the Supreme Court has outsized power and is overly corrupt, and they serve lifetime appointments with no functional recourse against their blatant corruption, there’s only one logical endpoint. Feels like Roberts has not considered this at all as he just makes shit up.

The 14th Amendment is unambiguous. Any attempt to undo birthright citizenship ship is prima facie racist. It’s not like the drafters of the 14th didn’t know immigration was a thing. The wording is the wording.

Maybe I’m just a big dumb idiot but I don’t think proactively voting to fund and support a (theoretically) nicer and more accountable gestapo is the winning idea that many very serious people are telling me it is.

Remember how the Mad Max trilogy was fun and good, but not like, "great movies" and then Fury Road came kind of out of nowhere to be the best movie of the decade? That's exactly how I feel about Bone Temple. letterboxd.com/jmeshew/film...

A ★★★★★ review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
This movie had no business being this good. I'm not a big horror fan, but I've always enjoyed the 28 franchise. 28 Days Later was exceptional, and 28 Weeks Later was flawed, but fun. And then 28 Years...

Fully support this idea, and I’d like to expand on it: I believe in having low-effort mortal enemies. People you’ve actually met who have wronged you, who you never interact with but nonetheless wish ill. Not in a corrosive way, but as a manner of being

I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever 🌺, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.
