game manuals are technical documents and very, very rarely written that way, unfortunately.

it is very obviously "creatures of any size, up to Large", written awkwardly. but it's hard to imagine anyone actually supporting the other reading in good faith.

Since 2019 I've liked to remind you that we should work to break up not just ICE, but abolish the entire DHS. It's a post-9/11 reactionary agency that needs to be destroyed.

I don't believe I've ever seen a better in-context use of the word 'steradian'. Superb.

Ah yes, violating the First Amendment and broadly calling stuff terrorism never, ever is misused.

"This is important: the nature of the First Amendment is that sometimes it protects the speech of people you dislike or distrust. Because if you don’t protect them, then those same authorities will suppress, stifle, and silence the speech of people you do support and do agree with."

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

We've now reached 200 death row exonerations. Meanwhile, the state with the most (Florida) is pushing to limit appeals, carry out executions more quickly, allow death sentences from non-unanimous juries, and impose the death penalty for crimes other than homicide.

Apparently the government of the Yucatán recently erected a Poseidon statue on one of their major beaches. It’s a very heavily Mayan area, where people still pray to Chaac, the god of rainfall. They’re now being slammed with 3 hurricanes and significant flooding, leading to memes like this

I can’t find the original story but one time there was a cop that shot his wife and then himself and the news described it as “police officer slain in murder suicide”.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

After Cuba, a lot of people were on board with basically anything to keep mass-murdering Communists out of power. Yeah, even mass-murdering non-Communists. Even my 'trans rights' mom and my 'sex work is work' aunt are all 'You know Pinochet did what he had to do to keep the Commies out'

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Weird to see all the people excited to watch LOST for the first time on streaming, which is nowhere close to the best way to experience the show: stealing the DVD of the first half of season one from the supermarket where you work, binging it, never finishing the series.

Once again I will point out that no one has ever shown me a textual basis for “lifetime appointments” to the Supreme Court. It’s just a social norm. The constitution says “during good behaviour”. Appoint replacements, let the Senate determine whether current justices are displaying Good Behaviour.

Hur never described Biden in this manner. The report included the quoted phrase during a description of a potential Biden defense tactic. Stop lying.

straight up lie. Hur said that as part of describing a possible Biden defense tactic (that he'd try to slide by adducing old age/bad memory), not as an actual description. but the media keeps running with this trivially verifiable falsehood.
