Teaser standee for Air Bud Returns

Imagine being a teenager and a dog destroys you at basketball but now there’s cell phone footage from a dozen angles online and probably on the news within hours.

"Clavicular" sounds like a Professor Frink expression.

The double meaning of “agent” — a) initiator of action vs b) proxy who represents another actor — is becoming a very load-bearing equivocation.

But the endless carousel of new future ideas has also corrupted more traditional businesses. Investors loved the permanent high growth of the smartphone launch era of tech and now demand it from every business, even from long standing profitable industries.

Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train. "If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example.

still one of my favorite maps

Still frame from "Segata Sanshiro: A Final Greeting," featuring Hiroshi Fujioka's reflections on his role as Segata Sanshiro and a handful of personal comments afterwards. This is a segment from the latter. Fujioka turns to the camera, pointing at the viewer. "The twenty-first century is yours," he says.

The camera zooms in a bit, displaying a distinct smile on his face. He continues. "I want you to cross borders, oceans, and whatever other barriers you encounter.

"And seize a magnificent future," he says as he puts his hands up in a grabbing motion.

Pointing once again at the viewer, he smiles, determined: "I believe in you."

nope. just stabs you in the gut and walks away

I bring a sort of Forbidden Vibe to InternalServerError that Rate Limit Exceeded don't really like

Relatable.

Wagyu chili cheese dog with onions, a side of tater tots, and a Hefeweizen pint

Apologies if this chili cheese dog brings down this whole site

George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"

We should have never doubted this man

Whether or not a production issue is specifically caused by LLM-generated code, vibe-coding is going to be the casual synecdoche for the end-stage result of the "move fast and break things" philosophy that has eroded technology for the past decade.

I am honestly kind of "whatever" in terms of the amount of solar energy this would generate — it's way more expensive than just putting panels on the ground in an open field — but we should do it precisely because it would make surface parking lots more expensive to build

Quelle hérésie !...

you have the power to be his friend

some people need to embrace the hugops lifestyle instead of being assholes to sleep deprived people who are dealing with a stressful situation

one blindspot you’ll develop if you only think about religion as series of grifts or knowing frauds like some secular folks do is you’ll always be surprised by genuine depth and commitment from a religious community when some existential moments arise.

"I called my parents and said this has been the craziest pizza delivery ever. I left a pizza boy and came back a pizza man," Lemmer said.

Was going through old chats and found this incredible quote from a pizza guy who saved someone's life with CPR

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls.

CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded
CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

most hot take political podcasting and streaming is reactionary by design and necessity; if you’re trying to eke out a living with this stuff (and not just treating it as a hobby), the takes must flow, rain or shine, night or day, people aren’t paying for “i suppose we will have to wait and see”

Getting extremely tired of the "inevitable future" augment on anything, really. We, as a species, have agency over the course of things. Saying things are inevitable is just an excuse to either check out or otherwise skirt the responsibility we have to each other and our future.
