I think MJ is 1A to LeBron’s 1B but “got his son to the NBA so he could play with him” is absolutely a point in favor of LeBron

told this story before but my funniest episode of obliviousness was going through a chipotle line and the girl behind the counter goes “whatever you’re doing at the gym is really working for you” and I’m like, thanks! I’m trying!
my wife and every female friend I have: oh my GOD micah

yeah I mean I love Mara Jade very much but it’s kind of hard to bring her into the continuity when Luke’s story is “became an angry monk” and not “married the coolest person alive after she tried to kill him several times”

mostly it sucks and I miss replies from friends all the time but sometimes it is pretty funny to be scrolling my notifs and see something like “get fucked idiot” and realize two people have been arguing in my notifs for hours without me having any idea

every so often I see someone with a post that has 500 likes talking about their notifications being fucked and I am like oh sweet summer child you do not know what ‘notifications fucked’ really means
(and even I am like baby compared to e.g. @atrupar.com)

to be clear I do not think anything is an intentional distraction, they're just bad and stupid people who do a lot of bad and stupid things at the same time
but actually volunteering to bring epstein back into the news cycle is still very funny

look even if they're playing twelve dimensional chess and everything is a distraction from everything else, if the play is "distract from the iran debacle by going back to the epstein files" have we considered that they're extremely bad at it

simple is not the same as stupid
and under that great big genial oaf there is - maybe! - a whole other side that he never shows to anyone, except in little glimpses

Carrot is such a fascinating character because he started as your classic sort of chosen one fantasy protagonist but then he rejected that and settled on who he was and Vimes took over the Watch books because he was a much more complex character
but every now and then you're not... quite... sure

really curious to see if he can keep this form up or if he's going to be the latest of the new gen to go on a huge run and then fall back to earth once the pressure gets to him, watching ding and then gukesh fall apart has shown how impressive magnus really is

*talking to teenage militant atheist self*
current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church
teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government
current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

the other side of this is that if you are still getting similar engagement on twitter - given the explicit ideological algorithm manipulation pushed by the platform’s owner - you should take a good hard look at why that might be happening

“making fun of someone’s name is not a serious argument”
okay but neither is arguing that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” means something that it doesn’t, so
