interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

1) is the sickest shit I've seen all day
2) reminds me somehow of Companions of Xanth, which didn't have art nearly this good

You can also play the games online at epicfurious.com, according to Secret Handshake.

From the group: "Just to save you time, the only way you can lose is by trying to hold Melania's hand. But its the Middle East, so you can't win either."/

NEW: Secret Handshake installed working arcade games called Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell at the DC War Memorial.
The game features "furious tweet battles against Iranian schoolgirls, low-flow shower heads, and other threats to American freedom like DEI and The Pope..."

they send you for instagram for the video and want you to have the app and login and shit. not happening.

here it is.

A wonderful sentence from this story, describing the video of the man who threw a rock at a seal for no reason getting beat up by a local: "Meanwhile, an unidentified gentleman begins wailing on him."

Dickhead apparently said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine," but was unaware that the fine would be collected with a series of punches to his skull. Some things money can't buy.

Bruh there’s no way @kcg.bsky.social approved this. Hard to believe an AI company would just steal someone’s work though!

People shocked Moderna explored a mRNA #hantavirus vaccine don’t understand infectious disease preparedness.

Hantaan & Seoul viruses are endemic in South Korea & cause Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome. Vaccines for priority pathogens are developed long before the public hears about them.

Thanks, ominous fortune cookie!

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

If you lose a lot of weight suddenly you often gain it back just as quickly. However, this isn’t true in all cases, such as being cut in half by a mysterious ronin who appeared to have not even unsheathed his katana

WAIT WAIT WAIT

DOES THIS MEAN ✨HE PRETENDED TO BE HIS MOM✨ TO GET OUT OF FIGHTING ZUCK?!

Twitter is saying Elon posted as his mom while trying to post as his dad

And the people making a big deal of this as a negative thing are really telling on themselves.

Also, aggressive looking for any reason to not have a good time.

Sure, the normal people playing aren't noticing so much that they universally "he" that character... but I'd argue that this unobtrusiveness is the correct way to do representation.

And we see it.

One thing I appreciate about Saros, having played it and watched streamers play it, is that normal people don't even notice that one of the characters is a they/them whose pronouns are respected by everyone else in-game, even the heartless corporation.

It's funny, I've been playing Saros, which is a harder game than Crimson Desert and I've been dying much more in it, and not once have I yelled "what the fuck are you even doing! just fucking move! you fuckwit!" at the screen because I'm frustrated at the character's movement 🤔

ive watched this part like a dozen times now

On the bright side, the loop does look more like Hades (which I enjoyed) and less like Returnal (which I wasn't particularly interested in)

In a terrible position wherein I want to play Saros because Rahul Kohli is awesome, but I don't want to play Saros because the gameplay loop is not my jam

I've never had such a toxic relationship with a game before.

I beat Crimson Desert.

This game was ass, and I hated it.

But I also had a lot of fun for like 60% of my ~208 hours before rolling credits.

The other 40% was mostly me yelling profanities as the character seemed to refuse to obey button inputs.

Listening to the Portland In-N-Out buzz on today's @citycastportland.bsky.social podcast, and wondering if there's some way to drum up enough excitement for White Castle to come here instead

If you can’t win without changing the rules, maybe you don’t deserve to win.

This is right up there with when I forgot the name of the movie "Requiem for a Dream" and searched "movie with Jennifer Connolly ass to ass" and it gave me the correct IMDB page

This nonsense method of searching is why I like the DuckDuckGo AI search
