If you're in a meeting on speakerphone in public, and you get upset when someone asks you to use headphones or turn down the volume, you are a special kind of asshole. Doubly so when that public space is in a hospital waiting room.

I'm pretty sure Olympic cross country skiers go faster uphill than I've ever skied downhill.

If you watched the MAGA halftime show because you wanted to hear songs sung in English, please answer one question: What does 'bawitdaba' mean?

The Sam Darnold Redemption Arc is just too irresistible. Go Seahawks!

MAGA is actively rooting against American athletes solely because those athletes exercised their First Amendment rights, and MAGA didn't like what they said.

The drone camera angles for the skiing and sledding events are simply amazing.

Scott Stroz @stroz.dev · 06/02/2026

MAGA is big mad that the artist for the Super Bowl halftime show doesn't sing in English. Their solution: put on a show where the headliner has a song titled, Bawitaba

All this bullshit AND we lose Catherine O'Hara? We live in the worst timeline.

For those following along at home, Trump has promised to lower house prices for those looking to buy but keep them high for those looking to sell. It truly is amazing that this economic genius bankrupted multiple casinos.

Seeing people talk about the empty movie theaters for 'Melania' reminds me of a time in the early '90s where a friend and I went to see 'Hero'. We were the only ones in the theater.

MAGA: You shouldn't go to a protest armed. Also MAGA: The US should arm the protesters in Iran.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but kicking a vehicle's taillight is not something you should be executed for, either.

The Second Amendment, if it were written by MAGA: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, unless you are a liberal and then we will murder you after we disarm you.

Imagine how many dead MAGA would have been all over the Capitol on Jan 6 if the Capitol Police used the same rationale for deadly force as ICE.

I guess the unspoken second part of "Don't tread on me" is "But feel free to tread on others, I don't GAF"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an internal DHS memo from Cosplay Barbie does not supersede the Constitution.

I love that they repurposed the Jedi Temple into a football stadium.

The NFL's script writers have absolutely nailed this postseason.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to see Jarrett Whatshisface win the Super Bowl.

Scott Stroz @stroz.dev · 18/01/2026

So, the NFL script writers decided to flip the script (pun intended) and start the game with an exciting play.

What is the word for getting an award for something you never took part in? "Participation award" implies you actually took part in an activity.

Trump has finally announced his healthcare plan...and...oh boy...just calling it a "concept of a plan" would be hyperbole.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an unqualified white man who believes he earned the medal that was actually awarded to a Latina woman who did earn it is EXACTLY why we need DEI programs.

People with old trophies and awards have the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Ice is pissed that ICE is tarnishing its reputation and has started fighting back.

One of my favorite uses of AI is to generate code commit messages. They are always more accurate and more concise than what I would come up with.

I'm convinced that most people who refer to themselves as a "good Christian" are unaware of the actual definitions of the words "good" and "Christian".

I don't know who needs to hear this *cough* Brian Daboll *cough*, but not kicking a FG because you are afraid of the yardage you may give up on a kickoff is fucking stupid.

Watch as not one single conservative will admit they were wrong about Charlie Kirk's killer or apologize for their rhetoric aimed at Democrats, "the left", trans people, etc.

I am curious: On December 7, 1965, did people say "never forget" to each other?

000

Scott Stroz @stroz.dev · 07/09/2025

Since Brian Daboll has been the head coach of the NY Giants, they have failed to score a TD in the first half of their week 1 game 4 times. They have failed to score a TD in week 1 for the last 3 years. I'm beginning to think he's not a very good football coach.

It seems, to a MAGA-addled brain, that throwing a sandwich at a law enforcement officer is a much worse offense than beating one with a flagpole.

There is nothing insufficient about my veins. I have the most sufficient veins of any human ever. No one has ever seen more sufficient veins than mine. Joe Biden has insufficient veins. That's why they call him 'Bad Veins Biden'. - Donald Trump (probably soon)
