The game being made by a Japanese company also may have something to do with which authoritarian flags remain..

This is really under-appreciated. Take your star.

That used to be exactly their strategy, which led to quite a dip in the quality of the Assassin’s Creed games..

The Republican party would like you to consider running for a seat in the Senate.

I’ll probably never buy a new console without waiting like a year ever again.

All my favorite human snacks are sold in 7 pound boxes of 330+ biscuits.

It’s literally just a thing somebody decided they could make a wedge issue.

Yeah but did you see the conservative radio host who spent a few months eating Milkbone Dog Biscuits before realizing they’re for dogs? And then tweeted about it?

Computational origami is a whole field of study.

I made this same argument way back then. XBox 360. What’s next, the 720? Sure, still sounds kind of cool, but do you just keep doubling? or just stick to numbers that are divisible by 360? The XBox 1080? At that point you’re getting into the area of naming conventions for, like, PC parts, or model numbers for HP…

You can use demi-glace in tons of recipes, and it seems like it would work great in this one. If I were to make this, I’d probably try using demi-glace and some water…

Maybe you didn’t see it, but many of the actual people who violently stormed the Capitol last Wednesday will be prosecuted based on the evidence of their seditious terrorism--and the planning of it--that they, themselves, posted to Parler.

THIS GUY.

I just assumed it was an ongoing deal w Duracell.

You’ll get no argument from me on that point.

The article could have been clearer. I think the author assumed his audience would be more generally familiar with some of these, but they’re really not well-known things unless you’re a big Simpsons fan and also pay attention to social media.

I really hope Mitch McConnell is financially ruined before he dies, and he winds up buried in a pauper’s grave.

My wife was never much into video games, other than some casual things on her phone—The Simpsons Tapped Out, in particular. It was a few months into the pandemic when she was getting pretty stir-crazy, and she has almost everything in Tapped Out at this point, so she needed a new game.
