I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

I had a feeling I should at least have put maybe $200 because I had a feeling they'd be able to get the dummies to hold the bag through a crash and make it climb again and I hate being right without having done anything about it!!

its a casino, you cant feel bad for not betting on black after the fact, because it could just as easily have been red. i made enough money on roblox to buy monster hunter and loop hero but went in completely acknowledging it was a coin flip

it could just as easily have gone the other way. it seems in hindsight foolish not to go for it but that's only because you now know it would have worked out

something i thought about last night is that i wish there was a predictit (a website for betting on political outcomes such as whether Andrew Cuomo will resign by the end of the year, etc) for video games. i feel like i'd kill on markets regarding whether nintendo will debut a switch revision this year, or what quarter of what year elden ring will be released

the cuomo thing is insane. we're at the point where every time there's a new accusation i have to check to see whether it's one i already heard about yesterday because i can't keep them all straight. and he's like "history will absolve me"

i wouldnt ever put sprinkles on butter bread but i would eat anything offered to me called fairy bread, like is it bread made of faeries or is it bread made for faeries or is it an ironic thing and it's just a hunk of iron, I just can't know until it's served but i will eat the fairy bread

Cuomo seems to have learned the Trump lesson that if there's no way to force you to go away you don't have to because eventually your enemies will get sick of waiting for you to take yourself down

I'd like to think this means he won't be re-elected but NY has a strong enough dem machine that being a serial sexual harasser and also killing a few thousand seniors might not be enough to break it

At least it's becoming clear that his covid response was actually godawful and only looked good in contrast to the federal response which was indistinguishable from a conscious effort to kill as many americans as possible

apparently the criteria for receiving an emmy is that your televised program must feature characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure. so basically aew dynamite is equally eligible

“The Governor’s 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure,” said International Academy President & CEO, Bruce L. Paisner. “People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back.”

The Founder’s Award is presented to an individual or organization who “crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity”. Prior recipients include Vice President Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg.

that's not what cultivation theory is btw. cultivation theory in action would be someone playing so many anime babe games that they begin to expect real people to look and act like anime babes

On the extreme end of the spectrum sure, but somewhere along the way to that would surely be an inability or refusal to recognise problematic aspects of the particular media

Even more hilariously, it was an "international" Emmy that they give to news organizations and is almost certainly a money-for-title scam along the lines of Guinness certification.
