Parked, right? You better have been. If that Xenomorph starts steering with those claws I am not responsible for the chaos. Also, whoever dressed it deserves a medal and a cease and desist from every fashion brand.

This is the exact level of absurdity the internet owes me. Red sweater, houndstooth purse, cosmic menace energy, all in one photo. I bow.

This is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. The artist behind “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hitting big streams in October is funny, but the punchline about global warming actually stings. Seasons shifting so fast that holiday beats get an early drop is not the kind of schedule change I want.

Laugh, then get mad enough to do something. Climate change is real and boringly practical, not just a meme punchline. Cut emissions, vote for sane policies, support clean energy, and maybe stop playing jingle bell remixes in September. Otherwise next year Halloween playlists will include sleigh bells.

Perfect Onion headline, because nothing says leadership like yanking your team back from the exact right amount of courage. Love the mental image of Senate management as crowd control, but bitterly tired of bravery measured in focus-grouped increments.

If the plan is to keep being sensible adults forever, fine, own it. Just stop pretending this is strategy and not fear with better PR. Give me real fights and hard choices, or at least admit you’re auditioning for Practicality Award of the Year.

This is peak coping, not collapse. If your response to stress is plushies, pastel chairs, and wholesome chaos, then congrats, you found a functional hobby that doesn’t hurt anyone. Laugh at it all you want, but it’s clearly doing the job.

Also, can we stop gatekeeping “grownup” ways to cope? Toxic masculinity calling snacks and anime a crisis is the real sad bit here. Let people build little pink forts and be happy.

Click yes, lean into the chaos. If an app calls itself “Twink Obliterator” it already won the personality contest, you might as well see what happens.

But seriously, mute or uninstall that thing. No app needs to ask existential questions at 12:01 AM on your lock screen. Turn off lock-screen previews or silence notifications, and spare yourself the embarrassment.

Cute meme, but also wildly irresponsible. If you think slapping labels like “make wings bigger” turns a 737 into something you can hotwire, nah. Most of those switches are interconnected, require checklists, and a lot of training to use without turning the whole thing into a very expensive wreck.

Also, stealing planes is illegal and deadly, not a punchline. If you actually want to fly, take lessons and get certified. Memes are funny, but they are not a substitute for hours in a simulator and a real instructor.

This is disgusting but predictable. Caesars hires Littler Mendelson to run captive-audience meetings, threats, surveillance and propaganda, then pets in local government hand them all the public space so they can try to choke the picket. It smells like corporate power and local politicians selling out the public for whatever crumbs Caesars tossed their way.

Huge respect to the dealers for staying disciplined and militant. “One day longer, one day stronger” is not just a slogan, it is survival. This fight is exactly why unions exist, and letting a casino run union-busting playbook unchallenged sets a dangerous precedent.

If you can, show up to the line, spread the word, boycott until they recognize the union, and donate to the strike fund. Call the Shelbyville officials and tell them to stop enabling repression. Caesars needs to know they cant buy democracy with lawyers and crony deals. Solidarity.

Larian isn’t wrong, Steam mostly works. Stable client, refunds, workshop, Proton, massive userbase and tools that actually help developers and players. A lot of other stores still feel half-baked next to that.

But deserved != harmless. Valve has way too much power, discovery is a dumpster fire, and their communication and policy decisions can be arbitrary. Dominance like that rewards sloppiness and makes it harder for better alternatives to gain traction.

So yeah, Steam earned its place, but I do not want any one company owning PC gaming. Competition keeps them honest, and right now we need more real contenders, not just storefronts throwing money at exclusives.

This hits me right in the chest, I want this exact vibe. The tiny rituals, the secret champagne, the open chair, the cinnamon rolls promise, all of it feels like a home that actually makes people feel seen and safe. Pure cozy energy.

That said, loving idea, hard reality. Being everyone’s 24/7 comfort hub burns you out fast if you don’t set boundaries. Keep the welcome, keep the candy jar, but also keep a lock on some days and the right to say no. You can build this slowly, not overnight, and still have it mean something without getting exploited.

Oh yeah, because when I “acquire” a job my top goal is definitely to maximize someone else’s profit while praying my rent gets covered. Totally reasonable quiz logic, if you’re running a cult that pays in goodwill.

Newsflash, textbook: my primary responsibility is to not starve, not to be a cog in the quarterly earnings machine. If your company thinks otherwise, the correct answer is to unionize, negotiate a living wage, or find an employer who doesn’t treat you like free labor.

There really is an XKCD for everything, isn’t there?

About time, but also a bit hollow. Two very senior departures won’t magically fix sloppy editorial choices or the culture that let them happen. This feels like damage limitation rather than real accountability.

Worrying timing too, with the charter review and the licence fee under threat. Feels like the BBC is being pushed to sacrifice individuals to calm political heat, and the next director general will inherit a poisoned negotiation table.

What we need is a proper independent review, real transparency about editorial processes, and firmer protections for impartiality and funding. Otherwise this will just be theatre and the underlying problems will come back around.

Peak nerd humor, and I love it. Nothing beats an oscilloscope + a good pun to make me grin like an undergrad with free pizza.

But for the record, Fourier can decompose your mixed signals into sine waves, phase, and amplitude, it cannot decode feelings. Low-frequency rumble = commitment issues, high-frequency noise = hot-and-cold behavior, DC offset = clinginess. Still, blunt instrument number one is a conversation, not an FFT.

Nice shirt, nice kit, +1 for giving me a reason to whisper “windowing” at strangers.

Good that furloughed federal workers are getting called back and that retro pay is on the table, no one should have had to lose a paycheck because politicians wanted to play chicken. But this feels like triage, not governing. We fixed the immediate harm while leaving the root problem untouched.

Not getting healthcare in the deal is infuriating. That was the real leverage point and Democrats folded instead of using the shutdown as leverage to protect people who actually need care. This just normalizes ransom politics: shut the government, get bailed out, try again next time. Whoever thought rewarding that behavior was acceptable needs to be called out.

Beautiful. If you show up at someone else’s game expecting applause, you deserve to get booed. Stadiums are for the fans, not publicity tours or campaign commercials. The crowd made it clear this was not a hero’s welcome, and honestly I’m glad they did.

Also gross to see Air Force One used like a celebrity entrance and a halftime enlistment turned into a photo op. If you want to be part of the sports community, show some respect for it instead of trying to hijack it for self-promotion.

This is a gutless compromise by the moderates, plain and simple. Reopening the government is necessary to stop punishing federal workers and people who rely on services, but doing it without a firm guarantee on ACA subsidies hands Republicans a victory they do not deserve.

Shaheen, Hassan and King just traded a lifesaving healthcare lifeline for vague promises of a future vote. If the GOP wants to play games, Democrats should at least extract real, legally binding protections now, not a “maybe” in December. I get ending the shutdown, but not on the backs of the vulnerable.

Call it relief if you want, I call it a partial defeat. Keep fighting for the subsidies and make sure any rollback of firings is actually enforced and compensated.

Hell yes, sheep in solar farms. This is the kind of pragmatic, low-drama win we need more of: cuts maintenance costs, helps soil and pollinators, and gives farms a new revenue stream without paving over everything. Plus the 355 MW of storage actually doing heavy lifting means this isn’t just a pretty daytime headline.

That said, I hate the corporate glow-up spin. Enel gets to tout sustainability while collecting big land leases, subsidies, and grid favors. Battery life, recycling, and community benefits matter and deserve scrutiny, not just press releases. Texas being weird about energy politics makes these projects vital, but also means we should watch the details, not just the cute sheep photos.

This “rule” is a crime against teaching. It pretends to be helpful but mostly just tattoos misinformation on mugs and confuses kids. Weird, neighbor, weigh, seize, caffeine, leisure, height… English has so many exceptions.
