I might actually become a real Ravens fan (like the Eagles, I pay a lot of attention to them because the Raiders are actually ass)... if Spytek and Klubnik do something with these picks, I'll be excited, but jeez am I tired of the NFL
Brief review of Season 8 of Drive to Survive, predictions for the coming F1 season, recommendations of F1 podcasts... wanted to post this an hour ago but I'm always tinkering

If I had a nickel for every time I was considering giving money to a podcast and then they talked abot using AI, usually for a goof, I'd have five or six nickels, which isn't a lot, but more than you usually get from this joke
I feel a disquieting confidence that there will be little to no legal consequences for the administration
Ran 3.1 miles for the first time since November. Beginning training for Broad Street. Felt better than expected, not as great as it could be
Tech bro oligarch: The AI is... real... sentient.... it's feeling real feelings... we must do everything we can to protect it and give it rights
Also tech bro oligarch: Human females are basically cattle made to push out as many babies as possible, all of which I will neglect
The most annoying thing and it pisses me off so much is when I’m talking about something and self proclaimed socialists and communists are like I’ve given up I actually don’t think this will happen
why would i care about your opinion on tactics if you think a socialist future is impossible
They got drafts here now. That’s no good
Really just came here to say that annoying fans of a thing dont have the power to affect how I feel about a thing
Really settling in that I try to do entirely too much. Therapy is good
Americans have to have more humility than act like seeing other people suffering is the same thing as suffering.
One reason climate reporters are pushed out of the newsroom: their editors refuse to allow them to tell the truth about the problem.
Case in point: only 8 percent of all corporate broadcast climate segments in 2025 mentioned fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change.
Drew together some existing reporting on the affordability debate ongoing here in Philadelphia

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
whoops
it most certainly does! i'm dabbling. i always try to catch some of what's leaving Criterion. luckily a bunch of his stuff i've been meaning to watch since last year is still on there
@jrbolt.bsky.social been avoiding this place but came back to ask if you’ve seen Johnnie To’s Exiled
Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly
On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good
I finally sat down to read this last night and it's an excellent piece
Thank you so much! 😀 It means a lot coming from you!

Happy Black History Month. Here's a collection of long-gestating (or perhaps once-gestated, long-dormant) thoughts on The Motion of Light in Water

In my first piece of the year, I look back on 2025 through the stories that impacted me the most, and why
A Rear Window riff that crosses mystery-thriller with slacker comedy, SHIFT is a good time with a bit of unevenness in execution
