Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

I saw this for the first time recently and loved it, it's a ton of fun
While everything goes bazoo and everyone is dropping their opinions that might get them in trouble, I just want to say that ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL (1979) has the most chaste locker room scene ever filmed during the sex comedy days of the 1970s-1980s

when you're conceived, your "self" begins borrowing matter from the universe like checking out books from a library. in a tub your feet exchange particles with the water. where do you end and begin? that's why it's ontologically impossible to get mad at me for stealing pens from the bank. they're me

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

[glowing six-eyed lizard creature, i call him "pat"] so it's like every species has this petroleum gap they have to get over
[me] oh i know exactly what you mean
[pat] like you shoot up to industrial civilization status because of fossil fuels, and then there's like this timer running, can you use the free energy of the fossil fuels to transition to a better energy source before you either run out or wreck your climate
[me] we did the climate thing
[pat] yeah we were totally blindsided. we had a series of glacier formations trapping giant methane bubbles so we were off to feedback loop city before we even noticed the carbon ppm was rising
[me] we actually saw it coming. we had like 100 years between us figuring out that carbon was affecting our climate and the system first going nonlinear
[pat] oh damn how did you allocate your resources during that time
[me] *slowly takes a deep breath*

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

Also these are people at the heights of the industry, and both Nuzzi and Lizza were almost instantly rehabilitated by top media companies after a first round of scandals that should have made them radioactive. Now lo and behold, much bigger shoes to drop, and we probably haven't seen the last of it.
The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

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?
