I lost 350 lbs, now officially a third of the man I used to be! IT guy, hiker, sunset appreciator.

I’m having issues too and I’m a subscriber. Can’t load it in the NYT Games app or directly. It looks like something to do with their authentication system.

WindHawk fixes this and many other Windows 11 annoyances.

Appreciated, but it still says consumer ESU is $30 without saying that for almost everyone with a Microsoft personal account it can be had for free. If you have a personal or family 365 subscription, agree to backup some settings to your MS account, or have 1000 of their "reward points" it's free.

It’s the first time Microsoft has made ESU available to consumers, and it’s only for a year as far as we know, you get to kick the can down the road for a year. Let’s see where we are in November 2026.

If you have an Office 365 subscription or some other qualifying relationships with Microsoft, ESU is free. Look in the Windows Update section of settings for a link that says enroll in extended security updates. Once you’re enrolled, you’re good for another year.

Dave this article is missing info. The $61 cost for a year of extended support is for businesses only. Individual users can get extended updates for $30 and many can get it for free. If you want to keep running Windows 10 you can, and there’s lots of info about how to do it online.

Now the whole world knows your secret Blaine, you are a time traveler from the future and you brought tirzepatide with you. Also, you had to let Joan Collins die in a traffic accident and you didn’t and that’s why we’re in this fucking timeline.

By the way if you wanna hear the story of how Bill Hicks scared the bejesus out of me behind the scenes of the American Comedy Awards in 1993, allow me to refer you to youtu.be/2uEg0CMsA70?...

I think when you said he wasn’t Carlin or Hicks I felt like you were dismissing his ability to comment on current events etc. He’s got great people writing for him including Laurie Kilmartin who is as sharp and edgy as anybody, and he puts people front and center who don’t get the chance often.

They are doing two different things, Carlin was doing elegant written stand-up honed over time. Kimmel is pumping out comment and jokes daily. I was more aggrieved by JS’ dismissal of him as a force for change. I just think he’s a good guy who’s grown a lot and uses his platform incredibly well.
September 19, 2025 at 2:25 PM
I don’t think he’s as far away from those guys as you think. He has a national platform and he’s used it to call out Trump’s stupidity and fascism, his jokes may not have the elegant construction of Seth Myers “A Closer Look” but he was very blunt about what is going on and it cost him.
September 18, 2025 at 12:35 AM
Jimmy Kimmel has been and continues to be an upstanding guy. Look at who he had guest host for him while he was out for the summer, look who he gives a platform. Note that he paid his staff and writers out of his pocket during the strike. Kimmel is a good guy, and this is an abomination.

All I can think of is how much my mother would have loved this. She is missed.
