Say one thing for Gilmore Girls, say its dialogue in earshot makes reading impossible.

On the 3rd of October 1982, the 1st episode of Super Dimension Fortress Macross aired. Created by Shoji Kawamori, this would be the start of the iconic Macross franchise.
Happy 44th Anniversary 🎉

Another 80,000 Hours ad on a channel I otherwise respect, another retweet of the thread explaining how wildly unethical that is.
Whenever I mention 80,000 Hours I get questions like this, so to answer it all publicly: It's actually a whole lot worse than going for a quick buck. 80,000 Hours is a reputation-laundering machine for a fringe ideology's most dangerous tendencies.
80000 hours was bad? I mean, if it's using influencer campaigns it no doubt is, but I wonder what specific ill they wish upon the world for a quick buck.

A fun thing about the current wave of people taking pride in having not heard a song is that the specific variant "I would never choose Texas" reads as people just simping on main.

In two years late comic posting, I don't love how Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X are collected. Chiefly, I think X-Men Forever is so vital to understanding what's going on at parts that it should simply be in there. Maybe Dead X-Men too.
The omnibus might be too much though.

I get that the future is bad and tech is extremely part of that, but it still feels wild (positive) to live in a time where you can carry around a brick sized object that plugs into a phone charger that can jumpstart a car.

"...Vance not only briefed POLITICO on the state of the Iran deal talks, but spoke to a group of reporters from several news organizations. In exchange for the information, those outlets agreed to grant Vance anonymity. Status, which did not participate in the briefing, is not bound by those rules."
Scoop: The anonymous source behind a POLITICO story that the White House is now using to justify a ban on the outlet was none other than JD Vance himself.

Choosin' Texas is big enough that it got a bardcore parody months ago, but no it's definitely just an insular group of knuckle draggers listening to it on loop on spotify juicing the numbers.

Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925.

@robflails.bsky.social btw, in case nobody pointed the degen strat for Top Individual Score out: in A/B rooms, when on the B side, just cap a point. You'll usually be entirely uncontested.
