Life is elsewhere

[Ben Golden @BenGoldN]

When a friend leaves social media, or if they never joined in the first place, our first thought probably isn't that the person died. But when we stare into the cosmos and see no intelligent life, a fairly common theory is that other civilizations must have died out.

@NikitaSPetrov Seems like someone who views the world in black and white

@AryehCW I used to work in this industry and T-shirt printers have lots of opinions about this

@paulderdash1 @ThatEricAlper The writers had tied themselves in knots and run out of ideas, so for the final episode they just did a parody of SNL's Dear Sister sketch

@Sohanstag 7/11 coffee's legit

@Stax_Careers Heads up - your link points to the careers page. I think you want to link to Roy's article here: https://t.co/ZBGwv9V65Q

@paulderdash1 They could have, like, re-orchestrated it, spruced it up a little, added some bassoon or tambourine or something

Game of Thrones reusing its theme song for the spinoff on a $200M budget is Payprus-level laziness

@Sohanstag Update: after learning more context around this, I now think the likelihood of cheating is very low, and that absent further evidence, Adelstein owes Lew an apology and a bundle of $. Crazy hand!

[Ben Golden @BenGoldN]

@Sohanstag If I played / saw this hand, I'd be pretty convinced she was either drunk, confused, or cheating, and I don't think the first two are particularly likely.

[Ben Golden @BenGoldN]

@Sohanstag Even if she thinks he's on a draw, or a complete bluff, she has the worst hand

[Ben Golden @BenGoldN]

@Sohanstag The relevant background is the recent scandal involving Mike Postle, which also involved a live-streamed game and a very winning player making nonsensical decisions only at the right times, and unable to explain their moves

[Ben Golden @BenGoldN]

@Sohanstag It's not the bet that's suspicious; it's the call. It's a play I'd expect in a low-stakes game from an amateur, but for a player who's apparently winning at the highest stakes, it's deeply dubious, unless they're on tilt, drunk, misread their hand, etc.

@MrButterChicken @tallahustler John Mulaney as Gary Targaryen, Seth Rogen as Gord Stark. I'd watch that.
