Nah. I can’t afford that shit and I am only three-quarters robot.

Psyched that Mitch Johnson got into the Coach of the Year final three. A unique challenge to guide ascendant greatness while also proving the ball-handler-heavy team-build around Wembanyama. Team way overachieved above expectations that rose all season while demonstrating resilience and maturity.

I really try to never take pride in ignorance, no matter what I think of the subject matter. I may not care about learning something but smugly denouncing another’s (or my own) knowledge isn’t my jam.

And yet: fuck you stranger for this image I sing out as doing a happy “who da fuck?” at it.

If there is one thing I would like you to take from my post, it is my Men in Black and then subsequent grafted on Birthday Boys reference.

With taxes and rehab, it has been a long week neurologically BUT I am currently taking absurd delight in how temporarily good my impression of Vincent D’onofrio from Men in Black is.

This Pozer song is pretty good and also generative because Ho Hogan is a great drag name:

"How the Roberts Court Has Found Depths of Obsequious and Naked Partisanship to Which It Will Not Quite Sink"

Maniac Cop 2 when I was like four maybe? Bad choice, Grandpa!

While the mix is about 94% direct racism, there is also a really visceral terror of anyone under 55 as being suspect unless they are maxxing up their white signifiers and thus marked as safe to use as necessary.

Unlike these play-in games, impulsively hitting another loop on my Steam Discovery Queue vs me going to bed so I can be human tomorrow morning is a total blowout. Just utter domination.

Nah, you can’t do that. Get too many blimps in the sky and you’ll draw in rogue balloonists looking to jump on and siphon some gas so they can stay up longer and prolong their relief from the dreaded embrace of Terra Firma.

Same reason you can’t have underwater cities but upside down.

Child's play: Sooryavanshi unpeels another layer of his genius Many more new layers await their unpeeling, but Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's genius is a given, a known and cherished part of the fabric of our lives

I know he just had a golden duck but it still should posted up everywhere the fact that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a fifteen year old, is dominating the third most-watched sports league in the world and is nicknamed Boss Baby. People need to know! www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-20...

Today, via Lisandro Martinez’s decision to pull some and ref Paul Tierney delivering a resulting judgement, I learned that “hair” is pronounced “her” in a Wigan accent.

The Brawling Birds having their own Wee England backstage wherever they go is objectively fucking hilarious.

Taxes filed! My self-pity about being rendered temporarily non-verbal in the effort due to brain whatsnots shrinks from the golden rays of my shining glad to be fucking done with this shit for a yearness of it all.

What was the guy who used to paint these types of things? I equivocate on whether he lives in a fury at the robutts stealing his life work or just pumps out endless AI swill in his own style as he was always just a broken grifterbot of a human himself.

"... and now I just shut his forehead lid closed and the light of his now extinguished soul is ready to be consumed. Easy as that!"

It is widely accepted that the early 21st Century figure known as "JD Vance" was not an actual person. It was a poetic metaphor, a kind of personification of the age. All known photos of him are clearly a man in costume, a kind of malign Santa.

If the topic is fascistic ornamental architecture in DC, I renew my forever enmity towards the fucking WWII monument. Bush-era monstrosity of authoritarian pillars making a mockery of the Allied efforts. The Naval Memorial by contrast, centred by the Lone Sailor, is captivating yet reverential.

I worked and lived in DC for almost six years and so I think that I have the rhetorical authority to say that instead of the arch, they should put up a 500 ft animatronic statue of me endlessly doing my famously ripped off from Jack Handy cowboy dance, an eternal symbol of freedom.

One thing getting overlooked with all of the media attention LeBron is getting for playing at an elite level for so long is that Deandre Ayton is in the same lineup and nearly twenty years older than James.

PubeLix, always delivering their promise to be the grubbiest sex shoppe in Buffalo.

I’m not saying that it is the most important or pressing problem in the world—doubtful it would even make the top fifteen on our troubled marble in the sky—but the repulsively short character limit in the new Signal labels you can apply to yourself is a fucking travesty demanding mob justice.

Besides the obvious insider grifters within the regime, another beneficiary of the sharking of prediction markets has to be the Russian, Israeli, North Korean, and Chinese intelligence services that have cracked most of the cellphones of principals in the White House.

I say this to everyone I meet: the Democratic Party is a coalitionally-structured discursive field, while the Republican Party is extremely hierarchally-structured. This explains about 70% of American politics, I assume.

I know that their record is atrocious, the dye runs onto the ball, and the black away scheme rips off Peshawar Zalmi’s but man is the Hyderabad Kingsmen kit great, even if I know so little about the town that I can’t recognise the buildings on them.

The scale of Bibi’s cowardice—to place the lives of so many below the potential of what would likely be a short trip in a cushy jail that will not effect his family’s wealth or influence—is breathtaking.

Advanced stats back it up league-wide. Win expectancy for the winning team at the end of the game averages ~100%, while losing teams have a robustly statistically significant relationship between loss expectancy at the end of games. Weird quirk of the numbers I guess.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I have a theory that Pakistan is prefacing some of their diplomatic communiques with a reminder that their nuclear weapons exist. I feel like that is pretty relevant to the situation, as is the assurance neither India nor China would complain if those weapons pointed westwards.
