The year is 2050: Columbia and NYU each own 49% of Manhattan and have entered a protracted war for the remaining 2%

Apparently the AMC Kips Bay will be closing by December because the NYU hospital is expanding. A perfect encapsulation of our times.

@Novanamix @EnbyHoxha It’s the same way saying you’re a feeling a little depressed doesn’t necessarily mean you actually have clinical depression. Some people are using the labels in a colloquial and not clinical context, some are just pretending they have it out of ignorance, trend chasing, etc.

[Sam @SamRote]

@Novanamix @EnbyHoxha That’s true of some people but people who are saying they’re “so OCD” because they like things a little neat and orderly aren’t actually OCD a lot of the time. People talking about their latest “autistic hyperfixation” aren’t necessarily actually autistic. It’s become buzzwords

[Sam @SamRote]

@Novanamix @EnbyHoxha There’s nothing to gain from being OCD but people still act like they’re “so OCD” about stuff, now they act like they’re autistic too. And some people do it for the same reason they larp interest in certain games, they’re lonely and looking for community online

@AJLond1n Nice, I have a few Helios 44s, love them

@AJLond1n What camera? Love old Soviet photo gear

@FreyjaVT Unfortunately it’s because they benefit from the FOMO. SL and showcase art are basically all soft-reserve list. You have less incentive to buy new product if you know the new special art could just be reprinted. They’ve basically never reprinted art that wasn’t in a normal frame

Your Hinge “Most Compatible” will debut as a roaming character this year at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood.

Was on a date with a girl who kept mentioning wanting to learn Krav Maga as self-defense (maybe that’s her way of hitting on Jewish guys?) and it took everything in me to not say “oh do you keep getting attacked by toddlers?”

[Dr. Asatar Bair @asatarbair]

Krav Maga truly is the most Israeli martial art: utterly fake, ineffective, and only fierce by its reputation

[Mattan Berner-Kadish @mbernerkaccount]

I love how NY is big enough that I never have to deal with any of these people!

[Sam @SamRote]

@Nexus_Tree Doesn’t work, it’s a Shapeshifter but not a Changeling so it doesn’t have the correct creature type

[Sam @SamRote]

@AJLond1n Real, common autistic experience sadly

[Zito @_Zeets]

Nolan should do the honorable thing and adapt the Duelist Kingdom arc of YUGIOH, focusing on Pegasus

[Sam @SamRote]

Saw a guy trip getting out of the train and drop his phone and earbuds on the subway tracks so I feel like I’m having an amazing day comparatively

[kk 🌞 @cutiegurlk8]

@gummi_cokes Had no idea you and Gavin McInnes had a thing, that’s crazy

@GlenntheGolden1 It’s like looking at a Pokemon-themed chess set and going “see, this is the innovative new gameplay they could have if they weren’t so stagnant”
