love to whine about purity tests on the left while the gop nazi youth are saying anyone not a "true believer" should get the gas chamber.

Wow almost 1/8 of the stadium in which the game will be played, definitely news!

It's actually Texas Tough to be hysterical about a rainbow painted crosswalk in a random intersection in some other city

dude can squat 800lbs but the effort causes issues, OK???

Mensa Test Retaker @ghosttornado.bsky.social · 1d

oh dear that's a bummer I have yet to have a negative experience, a couple even had the pieces back into numbered baggies, but you def have to be more skeptical and check seller's reviews etc.

might be less satisfying but I have bought legos from ebay multiple times for usually about half what they'd be new. most recently I got a mindstorm robot for son's bday that is otherwise "out of print"

John Oliver speaking next to an image of Olivia Reingold and the closed caption says "already sick, let's just table that discussion for when I see you in hell."

I would have, if I were 18, absolutely voted for Bush in 2000. When I did vote for Kerry in 2004 I felt extreme ambivalence about it but Hated the Iraq War. I was so deep in it and yet still did not buy the BS about Iraq having anything to do with 9/11, it was obvious to 21 year old me then!

Listening to Bari describe herself in such conceited terms makes my eyes roll at a velocity that could power a subdivision. Yes I am watching the John Oliver thing. Perhaps that is my problem, I should boast more and pretend I'm special. Free Press is a participation trophy ass organization

I'm not going to pretend that this makes me some kind of maverick iconoclastic thinker, I simply have senses and memory. I have friends/family who went to Iraq/Afghanistan. I witnessed the response to the 2008 crash. I have read one or two books about history. These don't make me special.

bari weiss' pitch that by all demographic standards she should be a liberal is not that incisive. By all demographic standards I should be a neocon trumper, and was certainly enmeshed in the culture my whole upbringing, but lurched left on several occasions and have landed on "market socialist"

JPL doesn't go to the Moon, and I think they mean "people to the moon" because we are putting private landers and orbiters there just "fine" (IM tipping over, but blue ghost did it). I would say we don't need an adversary to not put people on the moon, we are committing unforced errors just fine
