I wrote about this season of The Bear, and how pissed off I'd be if my neighborhood sandwich joint suddenly switched to a $200 set menu.

This Season of The Bear Is About What’s Wrong With This Season of The Bearslate.com The Bear is about a restaurant that loses track of what made it popular. Sound familiar?

Heck yeah. Robinson Crusoe, in space, where survival means Mc Guyvering batteries from alien bug guts while trying not to be hypnotized by space salamanders or eaten by giant walking tongues — but serious character-driven drama. 10/10, can't wait for season 2.

Consider this your reminder to watch Scavengers Reign on Netflix and juice the fuck outta its numbers and convince whoever needs convincing that there’s a place for amazing, adult-audience animation in the world. Thank u.

I mean, the real "funniest thing Biden could do" is use his commander-in-chief and treaty negotiation powers to unconditionally surrender the United States to the various tribes of Native Americans, but he won't. Also, happy 4th of July, you bunch of weirdos!

Outrageous thing about the immunity decision is it doesn't make doing policy easier, it only makes doing crimes easier. "What if dictatorship, but in no way benevolent?" Taking a bribe? Easy. Unilaterally enacting gun control? Impossible, even with impunity.

“because no” is the reason I don’t complete many actions myself, tbf

Reminds me of my favorite Steven Wright joke. I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, 'Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.' I spent last summer folding it. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, 'E6.

Jorge Luis Borges is a formidable psychological warfare weapon against AI bros and LLMs themselves, if you think about it.

This made me laugh way too much.

Just realize Emily Yoshida not only wrote large parts of the masterpiece that is Shogun, she also explained Pokémon go to Werner Herzog and got this delightful exchange www.theverge.com/2016/7/28/12...

So fwiw, I think we need to be careful not to think of elections as institutionalism, and more as expressions of power. You, for ancestral reasons, have the incredible power to vote. That's a really unintuitive power for you to have. Why should you have that right? But you do, for historical reasons

The Aurora is like the astronomical version of Pokémon Go in 2016. So many people outside! At the same time! Looking at the same thing! And posting pictures online! I actually talked to one of my neighbors!
