  1. I'm going to stock up on Darmine Doggy Doors, because as a great philosopher once said "My life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I feared it would become".
  2. Or maybe all of the NWS cuts are finally coming home to roost or something and we have fucking interns make the weather calls.
  3. It’s because we touched ourselves.
  4. Fuck, this screws some stuff up - this gal I'm banging, her daughter has some dance recital thing at her middle school that was tonight, and I guess tomorrow, and if they canceled tonight, everything will be crazy tomorrow.
  5. If you like videogame news and commentary, Polygon was sold off by Vox to a clickbait farm, and Giant Bomb is..blowing up and losing the people that made it popular.
  6. Amazon Prime is dropping this on May 22nd (I posted in the movie forum but some of you don't like hanging with the wine and cheese crowd). Now they need to do 'Allison'
  7. Now do 'Allison'
  8. You're going to be changing tires. Hope your back is up to it.
  9. https://kotaku.com/polygon-sold-vox-media-valnet-layoffs-digital-gaming-1851778655 The video game website Polygon has been sold to click-farm powerhouse Valnet and much of its masthead has been laid off, Kotaku has learned. The sale was subsequently announced in a press release. Multiple staff members have posted online about losing their jobs or about colleagues now being out of work. — Vox SVP Chris Grant, who was Polygon’s founding Editor-in-Chief, shared insight into the deal and is apparent frustration with it on Bluesky. “14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome,” he wrote. “I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck. Today that same company—now called Vox Media—sold Polygon to Valnet.” He continued, “Their press release proudly calls Polygon a ‘premium gaming publication’ but Valnet literally refused to meet with me or answer a single question of mine throughout this process. They were wildly incurious about how a gaming publication even becomes ‘premium.’ I really, truly (!) hope that the remaining Polygon team gets a chance to continue the work we all cared about so much! But somehow this is the end of my journey with the thing I created.” “My most heartfelt thanks to the entire team, I’m so sorry things ended this way.”
  10. Camelot Unchained trailer out, spiritual sequel Dark Age of Camelot. Reactions are mixed, given that a taken 13 years.
  11. It's an AR video, reminiscent of Cloverfield.
  12. She and Syril have a more normal/grounded relationship than any Skywalker over the span of 9 movies.
  13. Holy shit, I thought he died 20 years ago.
  14. We are the dumbest fucking first-world country on this planet. RFK Jr.’s HHS Orders Lab Studying Deadly Infectious Diseases to Stop Research | WIRED A research facility within the US National Institutes of Health that is tasked with studying Ebola and other deadly infectious diseases has been instructed by the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to stop research activities.
  15. Elon Musk on X: "It is an EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS that the @WSJ would publish a DELIBERATELY FALSE ARTICLE and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!" / X
  16. He desperately needs to distract people, but not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.
  17. The Gulf of America shit is embarrassing as fuck. It only extends to our territorial waters.
  18. Another Kinnamen series that dropped off the radar - Altered Carbon on Netflix (well he's in the first season).
  19. If the board is actually doing it, given how much they stand to lose either way, and that they are all tied to him, they've decided they will give up the batshit p/e ratio for something more stable, even if it's less value overall. Too bad for him and them, the automobile version of Gwynne Shotwell is not walking through the door.
  20. They'll open it up until he reads something on truthsocial criticizing him or Musk whines. It's the nature of the beast, but at least this should get some stuff that was being held up flowing again.
  21. Make him Pope Alexander IX, rename Ivanka to Lucrezia.
  22. I may go camping and fishing Friday/Saturday so that you all can get some rain.
