ICYMI: Important Context broke a story this week.

Liam Neeson narrated an anti-vax, pro-RFK documentary.

A spox for Neeson, tried to distance him from it, saying he’s not anti-vax, citing his work as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, and noting he didn’t have anything to do with the editorial content

It's been a weird journey to learn on here that Rob Reiner was dead...and then not hear that he was potentially murdered by his son until the next day.

A shooting is so rare in other countries that it makes national news, meanwhile we have so many in a week they only get a five minute mention at the top of the local 10 o'clock

Know what's annoying, @mcuban.bsky.social, since you think single payer would be so inconvenient

My employer insurance has changed every year for the last ten years. I have to reenroll in a new plan every December, and the rates and coverage are always worse so I make a little less money every year

Today's Connections is rated as a 3.3/5 difficulty

The "straightforward" clue requires a knowledge of very esoteric fashion terms

I fear the day they publish a 5/5

@rerez.net will never run out of material so long as people keep shoving quadruple digits of ROM hacks on a single hard drive.

After being advised to reintroduce warmer autumnal colors to my closet, I came across this sweater in a Goodwill

People behind him holding signs saying "Bigger Paychecks" while he talks about how they shouldn't buy toys for their kids...two weeks before Christmas
*stares in a lifetime of listening to republicans fear-monger that socialism would take all our choices away*
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Do you cry when the key change hits during the Test Drive theme in How to Train Your Dragon or are you surviving this year better than I am?

Big Nick not only put out one of the best albums of the year full of very personal and relevant songs, he is also back to what he does just as well, stringing together a deep twisted narrative underneath catchy as hell "novelty songs"
