Lakshya fucking sucks, dude. One of the people who had their brains cooked both by the Trump win (understandable) and by marinating on X (less defensible) and has been looking for people to throw overboard ever since
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

I love Olympic commentary, it's the only place where the color guy will breathlessly describe someone as "the Babe Ruth of our sport" and the sport is 2-Man Bobsled

It's really a shame that he (correctly) turned down Godfather Part III because they were short changing him, because the "Hagen vs The Coreleones" story we were headed towards would have been something special instead of what we got

The stupidest thing about this is that any daily journalist worth their salt can turn around 18 inches of copy in about 45 minutes once they've gathered their research and notes, and if it's a piece that takes longer it's because writing is the actual point
A conscientious journalism grad withdraw from a job when she learned the Cleveland Plain Dealer uses AI to write its stories.

Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.”

You can’t make this shit up.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

hey everyone pls get the fuck off of X, the white supremacist site for white supremacists
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

This man skated to the score from Conclave. His routine BEGAN with the spoken words "The pope is dead"
My favorite photos from the Olympics are of this Italian figure skater Daniel Grassl. He looks absolutely insane in so many of them. It's great.

wow is Team USA not good at Olympic hockey. They should be up 4-0 by now and instead let in a 50 ft shot

I do not enjoy how much these Team USA hockey uniforms look like Rangers jerseys

Dream last night of a Sesame Street parody, CHAIRS. Ted Danson is behind the (milk?) bar, everyone shouts "BERRRT!" when he walks in.

Ted/Sam: "How's it going, Bert?"

Bert: "I'm a breadcrumb, Sam, and everybody's doin' the pigeon." He perched on a stool next to Cliff/Ernie, and then I woke up.

The fundamental difference between the Paul Brothers is that Logan Paul is a relatively normal idiot with money who desperately wants to be liked by as many people as possiblr and Jake Paul is an abject idiot who wants to be hated by a niche group

As always, thinking about how Zohran was constantly grilled about things he *didn't* say when there's red city mayors (and governors!) saying batshit racist stuff every day who never get an ounce of pushback
Incredible statement from the mayor that perfectly encapsulates the "I don't see race" mindset
