anything even slightly related to major league sports is anathema to my wife and she inevitably eyerolls whenever I get excited about a new @jonbois.bsky.social project but when I told her about this one she finally said "oh yeah I can see how that's appealing"

there's a certain subcategory of Internet personality that is "twitter user who is more famous on Instagram" and I think that's gotta be the most cursed online fame.

Advertisers spent decades tilling the soil by making men feel insecure in order to sell them shit and so conservatives found fertile ground to plant their own messages preying on weak men's insecurity with their own identity as men.

i believe that spirit halloween convincing american parents that costumes come pre-made from a store (and are single-use, and coming in single-use plastic packing) and making families who can't afford them simply not participate in halloween, will be answered for in hell

MAGA media is desperate for proof of widespread left-wing violence. But from an GOP bar fracas to a teen who staged his abduction by “four Mexicans,” the stories keep turning out to be hoaxes. My latest newsletter for @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-media...
