And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

I somehow missed that Dan Savage was on Bluesky now. If you missed the memo, consider this your reminder that Dan Savage is a racist transphobe who has allied himself with Jesse Singal (!) and written racist screeds attacking Black people while dismissing the racism of white gays.

The thing about this is that there are some otherwise reasonable people out there who had not yet figured out that Bari Weiss is a tool of the Trump administration and this is, uh, gonna be a pretty big signal

there's a commentary about LLMs to be made here, but I'm too tired at the moment to explicate
One of the reasons people take dementia tests is that you retain verbal acuity and capacity longer than critical reasoning, on average by about 3-6 years, so there are people who are effectively just not capable of processing information and reacting who sound completely fine if you talk to them.

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

Early on in Fire Emblem (2003) the player gets a paladin named Marcus. Marcus is very strong;vhe can kill pretty much any enemy with one attack.
You must never use Marcus. He is a noob trap that soaks up XP your other characters need to be useful in the late game.

When a governor sexually harasses his subordinates and resigns in disgrace, the state pays his legal fees. But his victims - who are state employees! - have to pay their legal bills out of-pocket.
“The only reason that he’s able to continue to harass me is because New Yorkers are paying for it,” Boylan said in an interview with THE CITY. “It never ends.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/15/t...
Taxpayers Forked Out Another $1.3 Million for Cuomo’s Sexual Harassment Defense
As his failed mayoral campaign played out, the former governor’s lawyers ran up the bill contesting the claims of a former state trooper on his security detail.

The basic premise of the Second Amendment has proven itself to be a sham. The government already *has* crossed the Rubicon into full-throated tyranny and open authoritarianism, and the 2A gun zealots didn't form a militia to fight it - they cheered it on.
Gun zealots like to pretend that gun critics are afraid of guns because they’ve never handled one. I’ve been a gun owner my whole adult life (mostly through circumstance). I understand what they’re for. & what they’re not for. There is no purpose for this many guns but murder and terror.

"But what if I have to gun it in an emergency?" is one of those knee-jerk responses which evaporates when you consider the number of times you've had to do that on a residential street, vs the number of times you've had to slam on the brakes.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

REAL ID does not prove citizenship, because in several states it is possible to legally get one without being a citizen.
The point of REAL ID was not to prove citizenship. The point was to increase federal access to state data, for "counterterrorism".
