He single-handedly outmaneuvered FOUR DIFFERENT PENGUINS to make this happen!
sorry, I can’t, I have to watch this on repeat for the foreseeable future
The Tippett move to float the puck out and set himself up to reverse course coming away from the boards was just absurdly good playmaking and insanely fun hockey.
Yeah he’s eager enough to punch left that he’s rushing out there with either a knee-jerk misunderstanding of a term he heard or a bad-faith mischaracterization.
It’s real but it’s also being misused here, making it sound odd, because it’s a term that designates a much broader group of people who are interacting with the justice system (e.g. charged but not convicted, or on probation, or seeking expungement of an old case, or visiting a loved one in prison).
A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
logistics is too woke for our warriors
MAJOR UPDATE: I found the best free restaurant bread in the United States www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
isn’t it a kind of keyboard or something
He’s got the Ted Cruz thing going on where he clearly twisted himself into this shape on purpose
Expecting someone to wage a principled fight when he doesn’t have the judgement or character to refrain from flaunting Nazi iconography or Blackwater affiliation is deeply foolish, and handwaving these concerns away as an unrealistic purity test is stupid. Draw a line at good judgement and character
Will, I enjoy your column and it’s part of why I subscribed to the Inquirer. So this is coming from someone who appreciates your work: the Platner column is bad, and it’s drawing facile conclusions to excuse some egregious red flags. His cagey and coy treatment of the tat reflects *who he is now.*
Riding those coattails, fishing for data in the replies.

Achewood comic panels: Ray (calling, from Airwolf): Hey Téodor! You got any problems or anything? Téodor: Ray? What are you doing up this early? R: I have Airwolf. I'm just seein’ if there's anything I can do to help my guys. T: I'm not sure what you mean. I don't know if what you're saying means anything. R: I have Airwolf. This is not code language. I am flying Airwolf because I own Airwolf. Nothing else I could say would make more sense given what l own and what I am doing at this moment. T: I… alright. Fine. Yes, I have a problem. A pretty bad problem, actually.
In some ways, it’s a very direct and action-oriented lifestyle.
Trump would love to see himself as the God Emperor of Mankind, but tragically he often lacks the psychic energy needed to navigate the restroom, let alone the warp.
this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
imo one of the occasions where it’s perfectly polite to miss the ceremony and show up for the reception. safest option, really.
Absolutely critical for malpractice lawsuits to make this as painful as possible for their bottom line.
I say this as a working class public servant and elected member of a Democratic Party parish level DPEC:
What kind of person must you be to take in the enormity of this moment: the confluence of official cruelty, incompetence, and bigotry, the elite impotence, and decide the solution is "tax cuts?"
Ads slow down our site, create security vulnerabilities for readers, and interrupt the reading process. That ends today. Starting April 6, 2026, The American Prospect is removing all programmatic advertising from our website.
Genuinely insane escalation trajectory right now where they are throwing more and more assets away into closer and closer calls and it feels like when this finally goes wrong it’s going to be a spectacular clusterfuck.
I repeatedly saw a Subaru WRX with the tag “Urdnot”, which always cracked me up, and then I later saw the same tag on a Civic the driver must have bought, which was some spectacular commitment to the bit.
I’ve seen this bit before, he’s going to turn up on Sunday and make a big event of it to overcompensate for disappearing.

I remember spending probably well over an hour finding the largest vertical rockface available to me in Skyrim (somewhere on the path near to High Hrothgar, I think), and then quicksaving and leaping my character off the cliff on a horse, over and over, simply for love of ragdoll physics.
