Oh no, it’s worse than bad. You know how when a technology is in its infancy people fumble around for a while, occasionally sparking genius that generations would build from? Deadly Towers is not that.

what idiot called it (deep breath) a junkie rock duo recording a soundtrack for a 1988 vertical space shooter from Toaplan where you use unconventional strategies to beat it easily, in France, and not a Royale Truxton with Cheese?

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

It’s important to remember that every poster, even the ones you love the dearest, have at least one absolute blind spot in their knowledge that will cause them to show their whole ass if it comes up (mine is what it feels like to have no dick)

important to recognize that this quote is from a man who has taken Cialis for nearly 15 years not for sex, but just to feel more confident walking around.

This is going to seem distasteful to some or at least in the realm of TMI, but I'm going to risk it. We've all read about (or have even experienced) the ED syndrome, which tends to afflict 50-plus fellows. I've been a Cialis man for the last 12 or so, not so much to fortify "performance" (which I've never written about and certainly won't mention in this post) as a mood enhancer. Because it makes me feel like I'm 36 when I'm out and about.,
I'm alluding to (here comes the risky) a relaxed form of spontaneous combustion while, say, waiting in line at a Dunkin' Donuts or pumping gas or strolling down a supermarket aisle. Which used to happen normally or naturally in my teens, 20s and 30s.
I'm mentioning this (and I promise to terminate this discussion as quickly as possible) because brief surges are happening these days while standing and not, as a rule, in any sort of horizontal position. A cinematic allusion that comes to mind is the first sexual encounter in Last Tango in Paris, during which Marlon Brando never even took off his camel-hair overcoat. Just saying.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

I'm only now starting to see the two-decade-plus social media/mass platform era as something with an overall arc that comes to a stopping point, and it's kind of shocking - I think this unquestioning total immersion and how it feels/felt will be impossible to reconstruct for people in the future

The Trump admin is fully powered by the attention economy. A universe of dumbasess talking to other dumbasess, built on the assumption our tastes have grown so rotten and atrophied that we can't even remember a world where we weren't inundated by worthless slop.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats
