I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re thinking about buying some Minecraft books, they all suck except the trilogy authored by Max Brooks. Those three are amazing novels to read. Gems hiding on the bookshelf between random branded slop.

Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

"The mayor found it necessary to do some form of video release criticizing those who dared to challenge staff’s estimates as dealing in misinformation. The essence of that video release was to accuse the city’s AG of dealing in misinformation. Astounding."

In 1987, John Cleese delivered a sketch called “The Advantages of Extremism.”

Reuploaded so it can be shared with #MapleMAGA / #MAGA somehow think they, and they alone, are so unique - and not sad attention seeking schizophrenics just repeating history.

It was fun to watch, but also totally cringe that the team owner and broadcaster are all one company.

Let’s talk US government conspiracy theories. On July 1, 2025 the USPTO granted patent number 12,345,677 and later in the day they granted 12,345,679. They missed the magic 12,345,678. Why?
