I really appreciate the effort you put in, here. Also, I thought the Nickelback guy was Dax Shepard for a minute.

Yeah, I find people's emotional investment in sports to be very strange. Not just professional sports, but the Olympics. Like, who the hell cares who can throw a ball the farthest, or jump the highest? What does that do for anyone? How is that useful, or helpful, or valuable in any way?

It's just stupid on every level that anyone gives a damn about trans people in sports. Obviously it's manufactured culture war bullshit, but the fact that it's had any kind of staying power is infuriating.

As someone who voted for her, I'm completely on board with never seeing her or hearing from her again. She utterly failed — lost a (mostly*) free and fair election to a demented fascist idiot who's destroying the country. Enough of the responsibility for our current situation rests on her shoulders that she can fuck right off forever, along with Biden, the Bushes, the Clintons, Mitch McConnell, Joe Lieberman, Newt Gingrich and all the other neocons, neolibs, and corrupt, amoral, greedy, misanthropic assholes that got us here.

She might survive as a politician if she took responsibility for the loss, and pushed for change in the Democratic party. Hopefully, she'll do that, and not follow Clinton's example. Seems unlikely.

  • There was probably some amount of fuckery, but if the margins were as wide as they should have been, they couldn't have pulled it off.

I wasn't aware that they'd done a miniseries adaptation! Adding to my watchlist, thanks.

I hated Myst as a kid. Not just because I disliked the gameplay, but because its inexplicable popularity heralded a shift in the adventure game market. Instead of more Sierra or LucasArts-type games, there were, for years, scads of shitty, boring Myst-likes.

I do have them tagged as "nazi trash", so that checks out.

I was on the ride last summer, and the only name that I remember being mentioned is Davy Jones, of mythical locker fame. They did add him to the ride in 2006, but he was created for the movie in 2003.

Sounds like you're just lucky!

Several hospitals in China have been offering childbirth pain simulation experience for over a decade.

Yeah, that's the craziest part of this story. Why would any hospital do that? It seems wildly irresponsible.

I thought this had come out already? All the garbage is blurring together.

I'm only acquainted with her being a TERF. Is she a tankie, as well? That seems like an unlikely ideology for a billionaire to espouse.
