Is there a good way to submit bugs? I'm finding that the sound goes super quiet after a moment of opening the game. If I open settings and change the music volume slightly, it fixes. On Linux.

They did work with Kip Thorne to make it look right, IIRC.

Hitting the dating apps/taking a long lunch to go work out during that time. When I see comments like this, I feel like you could follow up with "and how many of those hours were work-productive?"

In grad school there were some labs that were known for people sticking around the lab from early until late. But just because you're physically in the office at odd hours did not mean you weren't fucking around during that time. I could see someone hanging out late but grocery shopping/...

Having spent some time in neighboring Switzerland, I'd love to bring up the hits such as constitutionally banning minarets, only completing granting women the full right to vote in the 1990's, and of course the perennial Black Sheep posters. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business...

I remember a post from @agraybee.bsky.social at the other place to the effect that journalists are very much like cops - they play an important role in a functional society, but far too many have decided to take that as license to be absolutely deranged and unaccountable. The omerta is real.

Yeah, of the ex Daily Show folks' shows it was definitely...one of them.

I mean, he did invite RFK Jr on The Daily Show decades ago and IIRC they did talk about vaccines.

And then there was the Larry Wilmore show where he had a debate on vaccines which had a antivax activist and just some comedians to represent the pro vax side.

Not something I'm going ever to let go.

Most classes of mine were in chemistry/physics/math, but a few more unusual ones:

- A math class where we went through Knuth/Graham/Patasnik's Concrete Mathematics
- The chemistry of photography
- Central Asian history
- Russian film
- Hungarian language

Having an informal hierarchy sometimes just means there's no way to hold those at top accountable.

I entirely agree. I just find it funny how much different arms of the party get mixed around and people pay little attention to specifics of who does what.

Also, I saw someone note that the TX Senate campaign was laser-focused on affordability and given the angina some folks have had about that...

Isn't this also more something to be discussed as purview of the DLCC?

(Unless the lesson here is national orgs should give more to the DLCC, which I would agree with)

I remember when Pierce Hawthorne's father being racist against Swedes in Community was a joke about how extremely esoteric his racism was.

I want to hope, but I feel like journalist solidarity only seems to go as far as excusing Nuzzi's sex life.
