Are you sure you're not thinking of that guy at the Hoover Institution who strained so mightily to make a conservative-intellectual case for Trumpism that he threw his back out and shrunk to the size of a Ken doll? Nine-inch Niall?
This strikes me as pretty thoroughly right, particularly depending on the season of travel. I like winter travel, because if you're willing to wear the same sweater for two weeks, you can just swap out (and wash) base layers continuously
Let's GOOOO
RusUz is great, but take a look at some of the photos for Tashkent Supermarket in Brighton Beach:

You could fit RusUz into one of their refrigerator cases!
Some of you are fortunate enough to have never eaten very very bad foodservice gyros, and it shows!
That's my best guess, anyway. And I think the article calls it a slab of processed meat. Lemme find a screenshot:
an image from the jollibee's website with their limited-time meals. On the left, "Final Fantasy XIV Box Meal" with a drink, fries, a sandwich, fried chicken, a peach/mango pie, a beverage, and a side. On the right, the "Final Fantasy XIV 6 piece bucket bundle", which is a bucket of fried chicken (that seems to have waaay more than six pieces of chicken in it) and three drinks
smdh they could have called it a chocobox
"Perhaps somewhere in a data mine in Siem Reap, or locked in a datastick bouncing off the thigh of an ebike courier in Bogotá, or even crystallized in a public art mosaic in Falls Church, was a CT-scan of a five-years-ago-me, slices of a snapshot of a sandwich rotating in a vacuum, forever."
Sorry guv
Necrons up an' turned the bridge to slag wif their gauss rifles.
Might i proffer you a melta gun instead, that you might make your own bridge?
Bluesky has... the juice
Where do eagles sit on this continuum? Are they the exact midpoint?
"We didn't even have time for our lobster thermidor to rise, which is why on this night we eat shrimp chips"
Like, I could easily imagine a 30-something Brendan Fraser as Ken, and I wouldn't be surprised if that actor studied Fraser's 90s-era comedies as inspiration
Yeah, I'll absolutely see this. They got David Dastmalchian! You can see him briefly as M. Bison.
In this trailer, anyway, it seems like there's a kind of 90s-style action comedy tone that feels distinct from the detached and hyper-ironized mid-aughts marvel movie style.
What is this TALESPIN-ass conveyance (laudatory)
I am starting to think that the best analogue for Platner wouldn't be Fetterman or Gallego (Gallego is, imo, a best-case scenario), but HEGSETH, who is obsessed with bloodshed
I rearranged them in my head and I gotta say it's significantly worse that way, too
The holiest object in Washington, D.C., is, without question, the 400-year-old Yamaki Pine bonsai at the National Arboretum, gifted to the United States by a family that survived the Hiroshima bombing.
That gift required a grace I am incapable of grasping.

apropos of being asked by a colleague to come up with lion puns, I have stumbled upon a take, which is that I think Patience and Fortitude are the two most sacred objects in New York.
St. John the Divine is magnificent, but nothing beats MARBLE GUARDIANS OF KNOWLEDGE.

Jia You Suck, if you will
THE HORROR. I would sooner go to another grocery store or dispatch my significant other to go in my stead.
This heart is not built for that level of shame
@realfollowers.bsky.social lol I am wounded to know the results of this, but please go ahead!
The article suggests that Edward the Robot wears a backpack because sometimes people wear backpacks. And, though unspoken, I suppose it is also because Edward has no pockets on account of also having no pants on.
The attached article does not answer to my satisfaction the main question I had upon viewing this clip which was, "Okay, but what's in the backpack?"
Thank you for the IPA transcription!
They have leaned into the aspects of their personality that got them fired from their jobs, or put in jail for harassment, and it has somehow, perversely, resulted in professional success for them.
Lord, it is a puzzlement. And it makes me angry, because it feels narratively unjust.
A great, if chilling story.
Something that strikes me again and again, and it's illustrated especially vividly here with Marc Palasciano, is that these demagogues have managed to carve success out of spectacularly loser behavior.
It's in the article. I have Brazilian colleagues, and they've tried to teach me Portuguese phonics, so when i see a Brazilian news article and I'm by myself, i try to read it aloud
I find the Portuguese for "social network", redes sociais, very very difficult to say aloud. Xayshis soshayis. I think. I dunno. Help me out, Brazilian Portuguese speakers!
Former Camtasia user here! Can you tell me more about how you use it, and what your experience is with video editing, generally?
I did this once with a sewing machine, but I was sober, and, like, 20 years old. I speed-disassembled it, put it back together again, SPANKED IT, and said "behave!" before handing it back to our costume designer (this was for a student production of PETER PAN).
I still can't believe that worked.
