Was not going to tell him the halftime show was the only thing I watched. I just wanted to read my book.

I had to go to the mechanic today to replace a tire, and a phlegmy old man tried to strike up a conversation about the Super Bowl halftime show.

Him: “They’ll never release the ratings for that halftime show. Did you watch the Super Bowl?”

Me:

I’m really tired, so in trying to make a fish joke, I just made it sound like I don’t know where babies come from.

Himbo: “I think you’re great, too.” *blushes*

Caleb: “Guys, I was just named admiral, and we’re expecting our fifth kid!”

Daren: “Only five, Mir? Do you fertilize them individually?”

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

We’re watching Starfleet Academy, and I can’t say I’ve been super invested in the budding romances they’ve been diligently developing.

Having said that, I’m gonna need them to fast track the Klingon and the Himbo. I swear to god if it takes until the end of the season and Space Prom before anything

Like, Bad Bunny might be aware of what happened to Elián. Hell, he probably is. But:

- The Clinton administration ended 25 years ago.

- Elián is Cuban. The halftime show was primarily about Puerto Rico. Savvy readers will recognize those as “different places”.

I too think five-year-old Bad Bunny should have done more to help Elián. I am a very serious and normal person.
The incredible content we’re getting in reaction to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show is helping me deal with my feelings about the situation in Iran.

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

It’s incredibly frustrating to see people spread conspiracies that Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre “didn’t really kill herself.” It ignores her allegations of domestic abuse against her husband before she did, actually, die by suicide. It’s a way to minimize how pervasive abuse really is

I did think the part where Sam the Eagle and Animal double teamed Janice was a bit much, if I’m being honest.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Epstein was the money-man and organiser at the centre of a group of bigoted academic, scientists and journalists who powered the anti-trans movement.
Detailed, devastating journalism from @transnews.network
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Here is a thing:

There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

I always thought it was my lack of athleticism that kept out of the Olympics, but it turns out it was my unwillingness to inject acid in my dick.
