It's fun to look forward to the news again @theonion.com @bencollins.bsky.social @timheidecker.bsky.social

Maybe the cleanest card I've ever seen

Joe Davis has been calling baseball games for like 10 years and already has a dozen all-time calls and this is one of them

I think my favorite 538 article was this piece in late October 2016 illustrating just how unlikely a Cubs comeback would be... (The Cubs ended up winning 3 games in a row and won the World Series)

Doing this to cars full of high people is a betrayal of Taco Bell’s social contract with our nation

Harden and Tobias are a combined 2-16 from the floor in this game

Tobias Harris missed every shot he took in the first half, huh?

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

There should be a group of people in the stadium who get together and beat the living shit out of these assholes.

Stott right now

Must be tough for Skenes to live with himself knowing he failed our troops like this

Worst part about all these AI Is The Future graduation speeches is you know the speaker didn't write it.

I'm writing more about this in my newsletter this week, but I really love the way Charles Barkley claims the "telling it like it is/saying what we're all thinking" attitude, but for good.

The pained, smug smiles need to be wiped off these dudes’ faces and getting booed/jeered publicly is an excellent start.

Cassidy just another one of countless hundreds or even thousands who thought they could game the Trump era rather than do the right thing.

gina carano getting sent to the shadow realm in 17 seconds the weekend before the mandalorian movie comes out is extremely funny

Spoke recently to a friend of mine who runs a lab. This administration is profoundly, maybe irreversibly, undermining the foundations of scientific research in the US. We won't feel the effects right away but they're coming

she’d cruise to ~at least~ 40% of the Philly vote even in a crowded primary field, Shapiro should be terrified

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

Gotterup 👀

Kevin Harlan's He-Man ad read (r many)

HAHAHA Bruce Springsteen WAS NOT HAVING IT with Chris Christie. SNUBBED!

Incorrect, as there is clear evidence Benjamin Franklin met the Phanatic in London in 1722, & that the kite experiment (1752) was a successful attempt to grant the creature immortality

SCHWARBER. FRANZKE.

Classic win-now move. You have to give Pittsburgh credit for going for it while their championship window is open.

Pittsburgh's over the cap, need those expiring contracts if they want to keep their core gorillas in place

There's my guy

Kerkering can't throw to the wrong base if the ball goes over the monster

I would say the next best thing that could happen for the Sixers is that Josh Harris is implicated in some kind of heinous organized crime activity but that already happened and nothing happened to him

This motherfucker trades McCain and takes a bullet for his owner just to have the owner fire him anyway. That's some cold ass shit.

Please welcome internationally renowned opera star, Enrico Pallazzo!

we’re all gonna die

Look how they react to being booed. Don't tell me we shouldn't be booing these people in public. It's effective resistance. It clearly got through.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Be strong in your Luddism. Be steadfast. You are correct morally and politically. All “AI” is evil and aimed at corrupting the human spirit for short-term profit and permanent control.

Good thing this guy admitting he's washed despite having a lengthy suspension to rest/rehab isn't locked in here on a max contract. Man, that would be awkward.

Not to get all NPR over here, but it is *insane* that over the past 8 years, Sixers owner Josh Harris (also of the Epstein Files,) turned the city’s politics into a bloodbath over an arena he *never* intended to build, and profited off the gutting & closure of a 500-bed safety net hospital.

PS and all this is b4 you get to weird shit like 1st overall picks forgetting/refusing to shoot, burner gate, peanut allergies & crazy health luck, Crypto/NFT/Chinese cement partnerships, stiffing arena workers for Covid, & closing Hahnemann. Let alone basketball shit like injuries & bad contracts.

your common is how much the organization has pissed you off. For old heads maybe it was the Process. For many it’s they failed Embiid. For many it’s Embiid failures, whether or not it was his fault. Mikal. McCain. The bullshit about the new arena, & tone deaf GM & an apathetic penny pinching owner.

I think ppl who aren’t from here have a hard time understanding how much the Sixers burned every ounce of goodwill among the fanbase. And not (just) bc of the Process. Walk thru certain neighborhoods & you’ll see a ton of Sixers gear; ppl love basketball here. But talk to those ppl;

I couldn’t be a sports announcer because when I was supposed to be like “Ask AI who to bet all your money on using BetBoys!!!” I would not do that.

Julian Champagnie would probably be the 5th best player on the Sixers. Most definitely not lower than 6th. He’s on a 4-year/$12M contract with a team option.

And you wanna be my podcast host...

guaranteed unpopular take incoming I don't like the Timberwolves wearing throwbacks in playoff games even though the throwbacks are objectively better/cooler than their current uni set. I feel like you've gotta make your legacy in your own era's look! leave the throwbacks in the regular season!

The Sixers deserve every humiliation. On that level this is very enjoyable. Fuck Harris and fuck Morey.

Sixers Humiliation Loss at Home is a tradition unlike any other

Hamels is legitimately great in the booth. It's fun listening to him think the game.

Overheard this morning. Elderly woman to grocery store cashier: "Happy mother's day! Are you a mommy yet, sweetie?" Cashier: "I'm 17..."

Did McCarthy forget the Phillies were hitting? The "uh oh" is so perfectly TMac.
