Middle aged white men (and I’m 49, so I’m in the demographic) absolutely need ridiculous Dad Hobbies or they get squirrely. I think if you’re can’t prove you have a preexisting Dad Hobby or 2 by age 45, you get entered into a national hobby draft and get assigned one. It would solve so many things.
every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Oh, I see we're doing "knitting hats as political expression" discourse again.

Instagram has starting showing me a bunch of ice hockey and related content, which is fun. It has also taught me that lots of Canadians and Americans will go skating in the streets if the roads ice over, which is wild but also very awesome

I think it's really weird that we host a major outdoor sporting event at the absolute hottest part of the year

My eternal pet hate is games announcements that use seasons instead of months. Not everyone has seasons at the same time of year you bastards
(I'm assuming they mean September - November 2026)

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?”

Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt
Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

I'm re-reading the "Emily" books by LM Montgomery for the first time in ages, and I had completely forgotten how completely fucking creepy the character of Dean Priest is. A man in his 30s who thinks he's in love with a 12-year-old girl and straight-up tries to groom and control her

A guy in my band has gotten big into the carnivore diet and has been promoting some woman who claims to be a nutritionist who coaches people in following it. I looked at her FB page in horrified fascination at the unhinged "health" posts she has there. I can't imagine taking it seriously

Imagine looking at this and thinking "What an excellent leader, I'm so glad he's in charge of my country"

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

I tried installing and playing the original Fallout game off Game Pass a few times but could never get it to work. I'm assuming it was because the game was looking for a computer from 1997. I just bought a copy from GOG, and hey! It works!

Australians are deciding USA is not a place to visit… oddly they still are going to Canada. Almost like there is something specific about the US..

I know it's beyond cliched to say this, but can you imagine if Obama or Biden had said "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election"? We'd never hear the end of Republican screeching
Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

It's very telling that all the replies are "don't come here"
