She’s hot, but there’s just too much pressure to make it work.

Citation? All I can find is that they ended mandates in April 2021, but nothing about a ban.

it’sn’t

This article should be Exhibit A in any class on “correlation does not imply causation.”

1. Gambling was made more accessible in the US because of a SCOTUS case in 2018. Starting later that year, Delaware became the 2nd state to allow sports betting (after Nevada). The list of states allowing access to online sports betting keeps growing, with Missouri the latest to join less than 3 months ago. 39 states now have gambling in some form, with 7 more considering legislation in the next year or two.

2. Gaming revenue took off in 2020-2021 because more people were spending all day at home. It has since flattened, or slightly declined as a) pandemic-era games that were written and designed in those tough circumstances turned out poorly. b) gaming company execs thought the gravy train would never end, so set projections too high. c) acquisitions and mergers due to a combination of a) and b) meant massive layoffs and low-effort slop. d) VCs bought up the shells of former successes and accelerated c). Oh look:

A new report by Epyllion, a gaming industry advisory company headed by venture capitalist and market guru

These two things have nothing to do with one another, besides coincidentally happening at roughly the same time.

Wreckfest 2 is in early access, if that counts as upcoming. Same developer as Flatout 2, so it should feel similar, just more modern.

Wait until you see the page that redacted the word “don’t”. As in, “Don T.” Why would that be a term they targeted??

Remember a few years back when all new companies were just normal words with (all/most of) the vowels removed?

It’s all fads. Creativity requires more risk than the current environment is willing to accept. So you just do whatever everyone else is doing and call it revolutionary anyway.

And they always include the newest year, just in case a 5-week-old is using the website.

They’re never gonna financially recover from this.

The original Japanese release of The Legend of Zelda was February 21, 1986, making it 40 in just under three weeks.

North American and European releases were in the summer and fall of 1987, though.

I did a pretty extreme weight loss a few years back, and in two months, I lost 20 pounds.

Even that was a bit more than is recommended without strict medical supervision. Two pounds per week is kind of the upper bound of “normal” weight loss. Don’t attempt more without a very, very good reason, and an even better doctor.

Whatever I would do, I most certainly wouldn’t post it on the internet.

You can’t attach it to the floor, but can you use some good double-sided tape or super glue to attach some steel weights to the underside of the corners?

Any home improvement store should have some flat bar. 1/8" or about 3mm should be flat enough to avoid a tripping hazard, but check local regs for commercial properties.

Sounds like an automatic thing, so any nicknames or euphemisms that catch on would just get added to the list.

That said, it all depends where you want to fall on the respectful/rude spectrum. I’d go with rude: “The most unpopular President in at least 150 years” is both accurate and specific to Trump. “The owner of xAI, the world’s leading distributor of CSAM and NCII” for Musk. Longer descriptive statements are harder to auto-block without catching a lot of false positives.

There is no market Microsoft won’t half-ass* their way into.

* Purely as an expression. Teams is nowhere near usable enough to give it that much credit.

"I lost my job, my house, and most of my friends. My kids won’t talk to me, my retirement is wiped out, and I have to pass through 12 armed checkpoints to go anywhere in town.

But I’m also seeing fewer people putting pronouns in their bio, so I guess it was all worth it."

Based on a New York Times/Siena poll of 1,625 registered voters nationwide conducted Jan. 12 to 17.

The full results are also linked in the article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/22/polls/times-siena-national-poll-crosstabs.html

Interestingly (or not, given the NYT refusal to say anything too negative about Trump), the headline numbers may be the most favorable to Trump. Other figures:

Country is on the Right/Wrong Track: 37/56
2026 Congressional Race Dem/Rep: 48/43
Trump Approval Strong Approve/Disapprove: 25/47 (40/56 with “somewhat” answers)
Party of respondent Dem/Rep: 26/29

And the 19% who think the country is the same as a year ago is bad news for Trump. Incumbents (or close proxies, in this case) don’t get voted out when things are going well. People were generally unhappy in late 2024; 19% are still unhappy, and 49% think (recognize) it’s even worse.

Donald Trump just casually creating more American leftists than an entire generation of Democrats could ever hope to create.
