@GeraltofGoonia Drop the caft. World of Gay. It’s cleaner.

Chris Metzen wasn't kidding when he said he wishes they hadn't called it Warcraft. They should just rename it to World of Gaycraft at this point Here, I'll even give you a logo x.com/Pirat_Nation/s…

Alexa Grasso’s boyfriend getting in the car with her to leave the venue after the fights:

@Duderichy and making sure they are warm

having a gf is just asking them if they've eaten, drank water, had caffeine over and over until you die

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@realmikolson Wha more is there to say then what happened with Coleman Hughes

“I wish there was a world where we could have a good faith conversation [debate]… me and Ben Shapiro.” - Dave Smith This is ironic (obviously) because it’s Dave who’s consistently not operating in good faith.

@KirPinkFury When his girlfriend became a sage and they couldn’t be together…. 😭

I'm ready to suffer and lose my mind in 4k 60fps this holiday season.

@arielhelwani @grok what is raf?

Colby Covington on how he sees the rest of his career unfolding: "Unless it’s a high-level, entertaining, big-name fight, I’m just going to put my all into RAF. If the UFC can’t use me, then I’m glad RAF and Chad Bronstein can."

@Brendan_F_Wendt @Noahpinion Because you didn’t _say_ anything. Just opinion vomit.

@Oakender @Noahpinion I note no refutation of anything I said.

There is no reason anyone should like JD Vance. The man is a pure careerist with no principles, willing to lie and change his principles overnight in order to climb the ladder of power.

@coldxman @ggreenwald I’m an hour into this podcast and at the very least, Coleman provides enough to counter the narrative that Israel’s lobby is so powerful, that it controls America. Which means the other side can’t logically get to their position. They need one more ingredient. Bias.

A while back, I agreed to debate John Mearsheimer on the Israel Lobby. John dropped out for mysterious reasons and @ggreenwald took his place. Ultimately, the festival got canceled, so I decided to invite Glenn on my podcast to (respectfully) duke it out. youtube.com/watch?v=AEvJQo…

@jeffrey_way Well I’m also endlessly excited and I read the vote as not being that if I went not at all

@Oakender You are the 9.7% then.

Can you relate to this awkward tension I feel of being endlessly excited by what AI now unlocks (you can build anything you want), but with this constant underscore of depression that I can't explain?

@Brendan_F_Wendt @Noahpinion Oh he’s “more dislikable than most”. He’s a “five way chili scarfing loser”. These are bad ways to think about politics Brendan. Trump is a pick your adjective president. Didn’t matter though, did it?

@Oakender @Noahpinion JD the Corpulent is even more dislikable than most; I *know* Yale, his description of it is completely divorced from reality. He's no "hillbilly", he's just a grossly overweight five-way chili scarfing loser.

@MythicMgames We have to cancel our subs. They won’t get it until we do.

I want to like WoW, but I just don't think I can do it. I was there at the beginning, but I can't overcome feeling like this franchise isn't for me anymore. On a cultural level, it feels like "progressive" fantasy cosplay rather than truly enchanting high fantasy.

@marcportermagee Someone should do dance. 🫠

WSJ: “Parents have never spent more time and money on youth sports”

@micsolana I think model of the war is perfect timing

why not just pause the TSA for a little bit, let airlines handle security as they did for the eighty years preceding 9/11, and see how it goes?

@kenwheeler Yep! Ticks and Lyme too. Fuck it.

it’s important to bring your kids in the woods. they should trip and fuck themselves up. builds character.

@BridgetPhetasy @SteveKrak I stopped listening to Rogan. Not even sure why. I think I just got bored. And I was an every episode guy for years.

@SteveKrak I have a lot of thoughts about this but more importantly, has there been a breakdown of how much influence these podcasts had in 2024? I would love to see that data.

There was consensus that 2024 was the "podcast election," where Trump's interviews on non-political shows with huge audiences like Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, and Shawn Ryan moved the needle in gaining the support of non-MAGA types. Now these same voices are ardently against Trump's Iran war actions, and there are absurd efforts to attempt to diminish the influence and impact of these same shows. The reason Trump's 2024 strategy worked was not to convince MAGA hat wearers to vote for him - those obviously were in already. The reason he went on Rogan and Von and Ryan was to expand the universe of support. Trying to reach independents... and non-political types to get off their couches. Those voices clearly still have massive power, and now they are driving support against Trump and Iran with their large audiences. This focus on "MAGA Republican" support - represented by around 15% of all Americans - is a red herring. These individuals will support Trump no matter what. A key question is whether the coalition that won him 2024 is drifting from Trump over Iran, ahead of crucial 2026 midterms.

BREAKING: United States is deploying the famous A-10 Warthog against Iran.

@kentcdodds What am I looking at here?

Goodness, this is so cool
