I don't think twitter moderation is good. But given what Elon's understanding of what "free speech" is, I don't see any reason to expect that it would get anything other than worse if he owned the platform. The dude is a fucking dunderhead.

I don't know that I ever think that I'm stupid, but I feel that I'm stupid from time to time.

Every Woody Allen movie.

My guy over here with the breakfast of champions:

Yeah, I thought it was good. I'd hoped they'd make more of the "different character = different genre" thing, but NBD. Also...

Ezra uses they/them pronouns y'all, it ain't hard.

I can’t believe I shaved my balls for this.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Some of my in laws are vegans, and we grill up beyond and impossible burgers pretty regularly when we do cookouts. By themselves I don’t think they taste particularly like ground beef although the mouthfeel is pretty close and much better than even a few years ago. But if you dress up the vegan burgers with sauces and condiments I find that I don’t really miss the meat at all. Same with the Whoppers.

Block al Florida IPs from accessing Twitter.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was intended to be literal either.

I meant inthe MCU, but fair!

I wasn't;t sure that the gods in Black Panther were "real," or that the people who took the heart shaped herb were actually talking to their ancestors literally, or if it was supposed to be a vision. It's been a while since I watched it, I can't remember if T'Challa or Killmonger learn new stuff or just have their biases confirmed. Doesn't really matter either way, just curious. Notably, the god of Abrahamic religions is absent.

Yeah. I was kind of counting out the Celestials since I dunno that they’d go with something that has less personality / relatability after Thanos, but I suppose you never know.

Yeah, as far as we know between What If, Strange 2, and Loki. Thanos got confirmed in Avengers, which teased the big bad for the next few phases. I dunno that there's an Avengers equivalent on the docket for Phase 4? Maybe we'll find out for sure who's going to get punched hardest in Thor 4 or Strange 2, even if it's confirmation that it's Kang.

You know it's going great when:

The Multiverse of Madness trailer has me seeing multiverse stuff in all MCU content.

This movie had better have someone eating floor chicken.

Everything about baseball is objectively better when the Yankees are bad. It's just a fact. Could you imagine how great every season would be if the Yankees were like the Knicks? Getting excited about ripping off a few regular season wins? Having no vision or plan for how to turn it around? Yet also knowing that the team will never leave, it'll just be there, stagnating for decades? Young fans being indignant about the team being historically good but it was all before they were born? I was born in 1980 and grew up in New Jersey, hearing Yankee fans on the playground talking about 22 World Series titles was like listening to a Greek person talking about how rad the Ottoman empire was, just truly delusional shit. We could have that again, it would be so good. God willing the Yankees will never sniff another World Series.

On the flipside of that coin, a decade + of job experience can be incredibly valuable. It's fucking wild to go onto social media these days and see queer puriteens saying shit that kink at Pride should be banned because it's not "family friendly" or that it "violates their consent," or that queer people shouldn't call themselves queer because it's a slur. I've seen these kids make the same arguments about how flamboyant Pride parades make gay people look bad that homophobes were making on the IGN CEB back in the day, using almost the exact same words. Having a sense of history so you're not repeating the same shit on a spin cycle is valuable too, it's part of why diversity of all flavors should be encouraged in a representative government. And also these people should have staffs who manage some of this shit. If I'm electing a congressperson, I don't expect them to be able to tell me the safe ppm levels for lead in my drinking water, but I'd trust that they have someone research that before casting a relevant vote. Not for nothing, but Lauren Boebert is 35 and I wouldn't trust her to prepare food that was safely cooked, so there's no guarantee that youth means you have your shit together.

He definitely was.

It's great. No notes.
