Just beat Prime 4. I enjoyed it... BUT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ENDING?!

WHY DID IT END THAT WAY? THERE WAS LITERALLY NO REASON TO END IT THAT WAY. WHAT THE FUCK.

I see shit like this and it makes me happy I'm not addicted to retro stuff.

This is fucking weird and awful.

Anytime I see Florence Welch perform or rehearse I think "this woman is clearly a Fae of some sort" but then I'll see interviews or behind the scenes stuff and think "oh nevermind, she's just Luna Lovegood."

Well, at least we know it was the brain.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"
just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

i'm not entirely convinced that the people begging for gun reform and pleading for less gun violence are the ones who made this country like this

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Idea for an amicus brief: We list the powers in a chart let's say Louis XIV claimed for himself, and maybe the courts can just indicate with a checkmark which ones of those Trump doesn't have. Seems more efficient.

I think the thing that bothers me the most about AI (or really LLMs because that's what we are ACTUALLY talking about) is that they have basically zero utility. No AI company is profitable. They just use an insane amount of electricity, water, and land. No consumer has asked for any of this.

The worst crime of this administration might actually be forcing me to agree with Rand Paul.

You know why I still think hes dead?

Because the dude hasn't shut the fuck up since the moment he learned to speak and is such a narcissist that he would never turn down an opportunity to be on camera. That he hasn't just popped on screen for any stupid fucking reason tells me he's done.

You know what's super wasteful? Rooms in a house that are double height. Like a two story living room. Literal complete waste. Really any ceiling over like 10ft high is just wasting space and energy.

Hell of a skeet
Toad is in Mario with Mario.
Mario is in Smash with Solid Snake.
Solid Snake is in the same universe as JFK.
JFK is RFK Jr.'s uncle.
RFK is Trump's health secretary.
Trump was Jeffrey Epstein's best friend.

Where are the files, Toad?

Every time someone from ICE kidnaps a US citizen, that person should be fired and sent to jail for 4 weeks.

You know what? If overnight, all the LLM generative Ai stuff disappeared overnight, it would be a net positive for humanity and nothing of substance would be lost.
