There's an idea that it's better to make a game/story/whatever that some people love and some people hate than it is to make one that everyone thinks is okay.
You know what's even better, though?
Making one that everyone* loves.

I wish I had a place to live.
Like, a permanent place, where I didn't have to worry about scrounging up money for it, or making somebody mad. So I could spend more time worrying about the 20 other things I need to worry about.

Do you think it's ever worth it to make a correction when someone uses "overstated" or "understated" when they mean the opposite?

Watching old (as in 1970s) episodes of Jeopardy!
Once or twice an episode, there will be a fact that sounds weird and neat, and I'll think "oh that's weird and neat", and then I'll remember that 1970s Jeopardy! didn't research things very well and it's probably not true.

There are much worse things they do/say, but one of the most brazenly bankrupt things U.S. Republicans do now is call *anything* they don't like "radical leftism", "Marxism", etc.
Really think it's gone past "we'll call everything this as a scare tactic" and reached "we don't know any other words".

This is the best thing I've learned so far this year.
Note also that one prime known in the last series is 1031 1s in a row. If you know this you can tell people you have an 1031 digit prime memorized and then go "1111...." They'll likely walk away, but then they'll also now have an 1031 digit prime memorized.

we really need to start wrapping our heads around the fact that if we ever get back into power there will have to be mass prosecutions of hundreds of people, from trump, noem and miller all the way down to ICE agents and the staff at dilley. anything less is complicity in state sponsored child abuse
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
