Annoying voice, commentary that somehow manages to be above surface level, and is fundamentally a drama YouTuber and therefore one misfired neuron away from becoming a frothing fascist.

Are… are bards treated poorly in Japan?

Is this Loss?

Excited for “Thead reory” to catch on.

Looking forward to the Onion running this headline once a month for the next decade.

If Andor season 1 is so good why isn’t there an Andor season—

Damn, so all the prices went up for no reason at all and will only increase again when the tariffs are actually collected? Wild, never would have expected this in the most rational and just economic system.

“Where is the left’s version of the right-wing version of Citations Needed?” - some opinion columnist

Lemmitor voice: is the hexbear.net in the room with us right now?

My condolences to the families of the Chiefs, who all packed themselves neatly into suitcases after breaking their own necks.
