At times male anger at ‘women getting special treatment’ reminds me of a gorilla experiment. One gorilla gets a banana every hour. The females next to him get one every four hours. Then someone decides to be fairer and gives the females a banana every two hours instead. The original gorilla? He flips out. He's still getting his banana every hour, but it feels like a loss because his advantage shrank. That's how a lot of men react to basic fairness for women: not as justice, but as theft.

Tina Fey being South Buffalo is the craziest shit I’ve ever heard. East Aurora, Elmwood Village, Clarence

Who can get me the pic of the bruins player carrying all those sticks

After Sydney Crosby took an embellishment penalty. His first in his career. You gotta love the people looking up at the screen and seeing the embellishment, and then the woman’s expression to Crosby and Crosby’s expression back. This is Class stuff.

i always go back to this

I have a better question

I would be so happy for Buffalo if Tage Thompson was not a genuinely evil person

Truly — historians, sociologists, and psychiatrists of the future will be making up legends about this period of time.

This best scene of all time I actually can’t like this is a lethal pen

There's a cohort of American males that believe with 1-2 years dedicated practice they could win the Masters. As a marketer, it's important to understand that you can sell these people anything.

every member of the Always Sunny main cast is incredible but Glenn Howerton did things with Dennis's elocution and rhythm that hadn't been invented for TV yet

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose. The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life. In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food. Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch. In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable. I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

Yes I am bitter. Yes I would also be happy if the cup came to this city that I adore. Yes I hate hockey. Yes I love hockey. Yes I am a rangers fan.

If I had $5 for everyone I’ve met in the last ten years of living in buffalo, who have never once mentioned being a Sabres fan but has put them in their IG story this month, I would have enough money for Bills season tickets.

just remembered that we used to have this insane cast lineup during S31 of SNL

ABSOLUTE GRAPHIC DESIGN

Before there was “Heated Rivalry,” there was this New Yorker cartoon by Harry Bliss, published in 2001.

Sick Love by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is just Benny and the Jets by Elton John in another font

Maybe if billionaires don't want people to hate them so much they shouldn't go on the news dressed like super villains and say stupid shit.
