Once upon a time, there were actually other websites on the internet besides Twitter, many of which were specifically designed to be used for this very thing. Don't mistake the monopolization of the internet for a necessary evil.

It's way too late for you to start being a force for good in the world, Oprah.

They also need to crack down on people being able to access media outlets originating in Russia.

To be fair, you'd be hard pressed to find twelve people in this entire country who aren't already either part of his cult or want to see him hanged.

The Steam Deck is a seriously impressive piece of tech, considering what it has to do—run current-generation Windows games through what's basically an emulator using hardware a fraction of the size of a laptop. And as the one person I know who owns a Steam Controller, I'm seriously jealous of...

The thing about VR is that it's a bit like graphical upgrades: There are loads of experiences are enhanced by it, but very few are truly impossible without it—but once it's out, the vast majority of what's released for it isn't made backward-compatible with what came before. And in VR's case...

You know, on top of every other way it's been reimagined, this franchise has to have some kind of record for how frequently the characters get recast. There are characters dating all the way back to the early days of talking pictures who have gone through fewer voice actors than these guys.

It's a low bar to clear, and only three members of her own party cleared it. Some might take that as a sign that the Democrats ought to stage a coup of their own aimed at eradicating the Republicans and anyone who'll stand up for them. Especially since all three of those people have already been...

What was that famous warning someone allegedly gave Napoleon before the battle of Waterloo? "Man proposes and God deposes"? Something like that.

I wonder how many times this has happened, and if it's limited to just FedEx or if everyone is doing it. Because, let's face it, if you're a driver for any of these companies, the only way you could possibly be penalized for theft is if the employer just believes all reports of it without...

You know, the really great thing about the Alex Jones ruling isn't what he's going to owe people. Because really, if you go to your grave owing people way more than you've ever had and they're left holding the bag, who's really the winner? No, the great thing is the precedent it sets: that it is...

Cool. And only half of Europe will have to freeze to death for it to happen. But at least we can blame bad people for that.

Virtually any Republican who could conceivably emerge as 2024's front-runner has a better chance of winning than Trump himself does, unless he also runs as a spoiler. Even if the field includes Trump clones like MTG, they'll just lose the primary when everyone who likes them just votes for the...

That's an awfully Spanish-sounding name you got there, Fuentes. Be a real shame if the party that elected its last president on a platform of hating Mexicans came for you next.

That might just be the least surprising thing I've read here ever.

I was going to ask if this is the record for the shortest term of office any British Prime Minister has ever had, but I'm getting the weirdest feeling of deja vu. Is it just because I recently asked about the shortest gap between a new monarch and a new Prime Minister, or is this not even the...

All media outlets are clickbait garbage at least some of the time at this point. Sometimes the more consistently clickbait-y ones like the Daily Beast or Buzzfeed manage to let actual journalism squeak through that puts even the mainstream newspapers to shame, and the under-30s jump on it being...

Wait, wait, 50.6% of the vote means 80.3% of the seats? Did y'all yet your own Electoral College when I wasn't looking?

Well yeah. It's definitely one of those rules that's not only extremely open to abuse, it seems to have no practical use except to be abused.

Yeah, also I don't know if I'd be on board with a head of state's resignation meaning the entire legislature has to prematurely end their terms of office. Emergency elections would make perfect sense in a country like the US where the head of state is elected separately from everyone else—and we...
