Like he’s been photoshopped into a chaotic scene…but it’s more than dementia. He’s never had leadership, empathy or responsiveness. He knows enough to be perturbed at not being the center of attention.

Hey news folks: Any time anybody in power starts rolling off “antifa this… antifa that… “ stop them and make them explain, on the record, what antifa is short for and why it’s bad. Make them say it out loud.

The answer to this seems simple — “carry our national content or we’re done with you.” Disney could win this one every time, I imagine pretty easily. Yeah, contracts and stuff but next negotiation will be much worse if you mess with this now.

I propose Sam Eagle as the team principal for Cadillac’s Formula 1 team. Disney connection (Disney x F1 2026?) , needs work after muppet vision closure, all American, and brings the Toto Wolff vibes.

Have you ever wished the browser would look at a background color and pick black or white for the text — whichever one provides more contrast?
Now, the `constrast-color()` function in CSS does just that.

I’m in Fortnite for the first time in a while, watching the premier of a Disney+ Star Wars show in a virtual movie theater, and nothing in my understanding of media makes sense any more.

About to start on Day 3 in Blue Prince. Got my gaming notebook (if you know, you know) out on the previous run and already feeling like I’m going to look like this by the time I’m done with the game.
