SPIDEE is a great program fighting bigotry in schools in the Dayton area, but funding cuts have hit it hard. Three schools--including my kids'--are in danger of losing their programs. They've posted a fundraiser to help with a pretty reasonable goal. Would appreciate y'all passing this along!

yes, we call them "people from Philadelphia"
Are there sports guys on here who adopt the annoying too-savvy doomerism of politics guys? Saying stuff like "You really think there's going to be a second half"
if you see someone posting "I CANT BELIEVE IT, HOLY SHIT" or "THIS IS UN-FUCKING REAL" later this afternoon know with confidence it's either someone watching "the big game" or more evidence of elite wrongdoing uncovered in the unending global pedophile trafficking scandal

me: imagine taking six months to write a book, that's ridiculous

AI shithead: I know, right? why would it take you longer than a day?

me: produces flamethrower from hammerspace
"I can generate a book in a day, and it takes you 6 months to write one"

Have these prompt jockeys never heard the idiom quality over quantity before?

since the pronoun picker died I am beginning the next phase of my War on Gender by only using masculine pronouns in the independent possessive case. my pronouns are they/them/her/his/themself.

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

is this an actual thing people say about the band who did the album called American Idiot
I see it's When Did Green Day Get So Political Day again.

the past week or so of Kid Rock Everywhere has reminded me yet again that on top of being a loathsome little shit he's also just a historically bad musician. of the three I hate most I'll say "All Summer Long" this time.

One of the great tragedies of Mid 90's Dad In His Forties Ric Flair was that he started wearing things off rack because years of tax trouble make it very difficult to contribute being CUSTOM MADE
I think I owned that same button-up Flair has on so either I just owned a cheap version of what he’s wearing, or he got mustard on his real shirt and had to run into a Kohl’s real quick.

legitimately one of the worst and most baffling UI decisions to ever get widespread adoption is the constant enshrinkification of critical text
Kids, if you're making a game and want to run it on a steamdeck or switch

your text size needs to be bigger

no, bigger

c'mon coward, bigger!

what is this, A GAME FOR ANTS? BIGGER

Man. It shouldn't deter anything that's going on right now and obviously the protests need to continue, but one of the ICE goons is eventually just going to lose it and open fire on a crowd and it'll probably be sooner rather than later, huh.

It’s always kinda fascinating when Dave Meltzer wants to play the useful idiot, like in claiming that WWE has been apolitical because they don’t air any of the Triple H/Trump stuff on TV.

The cynical side of me says there was EASILY a world where Kirk getting ventilated mid-racist joke marked exactly that sea change if this entire movement wasn't entirely driven by bloody-minded spite. On the other hand without that they literally have no guiding philosophy.
It's really funny that The All-American Halftime Show was announced months ago when elites were banking on a real right wing sea change, only now moms are hurling abuse at ICE, and folks are brushing up their duolingo so they can sing along with whatever Bad Bunny performs on the real halftime show.

Remembering that post that suggested average voters who feel remorse should have an onramp to redemption whereas media dipshits who enabled Trump should be shot into the sun and I'm feeling this really hard right now
As much as we want to rip them a new one for getting us into this mess, when people on the right come forward and apologize and admit they were wrong, we should probably welcome them to the light.

Dave is a lot like Jericho in that he's very smart about exactly one thing (the one thing that Jericho has historically been very smart about) but can you imagine him, like, putting together an IKEA desk
"...this chant, which really wasn’t all that loud..."

"you should see the drivers where *I* live" buddy get 'em on the plane to the games. drive like shit or get off the pot.
coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

I sometimes play a WWE-themed puzzle game on my phone to pass the time (I don't spend money in it and would switch to an AEW one if there was one). Anyway, this is the character model for their new CM Punk. Brutal.
