“ I think they underestimate how much time I will devote to making trouble.” The right spirit for the times.
As of now they’re not trying to talk me out of it but told me to email [email protected]. That may just be a deflection hoping that if they throw up some hurdles some people won’t cancel but I think they underestimate how much time I will devote to making trouble.
On the phone with them right now.
You can host the armed goons terrorizing our families, or you can host us.

All the better to hear the Fanduel ads.
“these broadcast enhancements could lead to features where viewers can control the audio level for a game’s announcers and the ambient crowd noise.”

Peacock may soon be able to allow fans to mute announcers during broadcasts.

This is fairly remarkable.
I hope that anyone who reflexively (and understandably) bashes all Christians with the same club will remember how many good and brave ones there are.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

Can’t wait for the Twitch stream.
There's both the SNES and Genesis Shadowrun games, which is, I'll admit, pretty exciting.

It's totally understandable if you're dooming about any facet of the American experiment right now. So your feelings are "valid" in the sense that they represent real anxiety, and I get that. But to vent that anxiety in other people's spaces is wrong for three reasons.

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.
i cannot tell you how often i think back to MASH when writing. that ability to walk the line between humor and the darkest of humanity, yet never truly cross over into making light of it OR hopelessness--even though it toys with those things, too--is the line i strive for

I'm not sure I can believe this, it is too much.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

I think it got overshadowed by the (deserved) Ledger Joker hype but as a movie I agree, best of the bunch.
my brother got me a fancy 4K steelbook set of the nolan batman movies so i’m rewatching BATMAN BEGINS for the 20th time and i still think this one is the best batman story of the bunch

I am playing Elden Ring. Fighting is really hard, I find it easier to stab bad guys while they are distracted.
I am playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Fighting is really hard, I find it easier to stab bad guys while they are asleep 😂

Photos of bound and blind prisoners are not the flex you think they are. They’re a sign of immense deep weakness on the part of the people taking and sharing those photos, and the society that celebrates it.
We are what we do, not what we proclaim.

From the beginnings decades ago, they went in a direction of more public solutions, while we stuck with the employer-based private system. As everything has grown, it’s grown bigger, and it’s grown more $$$, and it’s hard to imagine how to switch without pain for 100s of thousands. The plan matters

Just lost my ACA coverage as I’m finishing radiation on 12/31. Tons lot of effort to squeeze it all in before end of yr. Now transitioning all scripts to CostPlusDrugs as it’s the only way I’ll be able to afford my meds going forward. Thanks Mark for making this happen
