If we ever pass permanent DST I will be as insufferable as possible about it.

Me: “10:00am, which is really 9am solar time, if you think about it.”

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I had the Slow Game Club explained to me recently and it’s the sweetest idea I’ve heard in a while 🥲
Forty quid for the year, you get a new game every month, and all the money goes to IntoGames, to give working class people in the UK better access to careers in game dev.
Helluva gift idea, too 👀🎄

We need more democrats willing to speak like this.
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Is there a name for that thing that happens sometimes in fiction where we’re told the scale is very big but the actual story feels much smaller?
e.g., a “fate of the world” story that takes place entirely in New York City, or a “save the galaxy” story that visits five cities on four planets

Please don't do any of these things to me. It's creepy, it's not sincere, I hate making eye contact with strangers, and if I'm in Target, my day is not going well and I don't need help
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!

No. 25A319
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

[November 6, 2025]
This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at

Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then
