Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

RIP James Earl Jones, whose voice was so legendary that The Simpsons could reference three iconic performances of his in the same scene

Ha, I don't have that option! For one thing, I taped in August 2021, when they were still doing socially distanced photos with the host standing on the other side of the stage. But also, because the fired Mike Richards hosted my game, Sony never sent me any photos with him!

Gamer Night ftw www.polygon.com/24163967/gam... (coincidentally, Destiny 2 was the last multiplayer game I played with any regularity, and it's been like five years since that was the case... maybe I'll get back to this kind of thing when my 4-month-old baby is a bit older!)

Schedule a Gamer Night — it’s life-changing

it turns out that a few clouds can actually make a solar eclipse photo better! this is from 3:09 PM ET, about 15 minutes before the peak of the eclipse here I took a whole bunch of photos with my real camera, but I'm not sure any of them will eclipse (lol) this smartphone shot!
