Imagine living a life where you have to be mad at Cracker Barrel

the @benfowlkes.bsky.social @chaddundas.bsky.social Co-Main event is still awesome after all these years. youtu.be/VW9SKVpS4Ho?...

I think @benfowlkesMMA & I had a pretty damn good podcast today about the UFC's move to Paramount & what it might mean for all involved (including you). 13 years and we're still out here. Give us a listen. comainevent.com/2025/08/12/e...

Is this the first time in the modern history of the company that being a UFC fan might get cheaper? That's the most shocking part of this.

At first glance, this looks WAY better for fans than I had anticipated. Had definitely expected UFC product to be splintered over multiple services. Only one streaming service to pay for and no more PPVs? Huge.

Aside from using up all our water and destroying culture as we know it, it looks like AI is also going to ruin the em dash. I will mourn these losses more or less equally.

I am once again in need of an audiobook to listen to. Generally like: crime/noir, smart mystery/thriller, SOME spec fic/fantasy, the occasional literary fiction, I’ll a try a western or historical fiction if it rules. Help!

For the second time in about a year, somebody broke into our car last night, rooted through it & and then didn't steal anything. An unbelievable blow to my self-esteem.

@chaddundas.bsky.social your audiobook is on sale on chirp $5.99. Let the co maniacs know www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/t...

UFC Fighters - You can now formally submit your claim to get your Class Action settlement $$$. There is a deadline. Don't blow it. Get what's yours!

The fact that Trump’s proposed budget cuts domestic spending by the EXACT amount it increases defense/homeland security spending is *chefs kiss*

Amazing that in the year of our lord 2025, “Follow The Law” is a legitimate protest sign

Sometimes I half hope the government actually is monitoring my internet search history. Some lowly intern at the FBI getting an eyeful right now

Fun fact: Murder She Wrote streams 24/7 on the Roku Channel. Just now watched one where Jessica solves a murder in first class on an international flight.

Hey, look! My life! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

Am I reading this correctly that the Build The Wall guy referred to America's northern border as "an artificial line of separation drawn many years ago (that) will finally disappear"?

Oh come on

Watching Trump and Vance insult and threaten Zelensky in the Oval Office, it's pretty clear MAGA will never solve anything on the world stage. Their greed and extreme lack of character will inevitably trip the country into something terrible.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

Ever since The Athletic sold to the Times in 2022, I've been getting emails (almost 50 of them!) from the company handling the acquisition, about a mysterious "escrow payment" (or some bullshit) I was gonna get at some point. They just sent an email saying my payment is being processed: $10.58

Imagine my surprise to open up this story in the Atlantic and have the lead be about … Sean Strickland? www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Update: Torn labrum

Got an MRI today to (maybe) see what’s wrong with my old-ass hip. Kinda weird! But I did get to listen to some bitchin’ classic rock

I always thought George W Bush would be the dumbest president of my lifetime and he never even came CLOSE to accidentally firing the guys who control the nukes

You ever want to chuck it all, buy an abandoned fire station in Ohio and become a ghostbuster? God, I do.

Sounds like the new president and his unelected deep state minions are laying off smokejumpers & wildland firefighters in Montana and across the west. What. Could. Go. Wrong.

On Doin' the Damn Thing this week, @benfowlkes.bsky.social & I had a great talk with the big homie @vincemancini.bsky.social about movies, TV, MMA & life as washed dads. It's free to listen to, right here: www.patreon.com/posts/121679...

The UFC retweeted this, huh?

For the last damn time, “free speech” is a protection offered by the government. It has nothing to do with private business. Dana White can’t “protect” free speech. As a private businessman, if you refuse to punish contractors who spew racist garbage, it just means you don’t care.

Classic confused & exasperated old man moment today when I learned the back entrance to the high school I went to is now considered the front entrance. Does nothing matter anymore???

Merab Dwalishvili is an insane person in the best possible way. I mean, for a cage fighter. For somebody else it might cause problems.

Live music guitar guy at this restaurant has a real different take on Wonderwall.

Well, crap. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/m...

MMA promoters out here just calling a do-over on the IFL in 2025. Wild.

Climate change will manifest as a series of Go Fund Mes, getting closer and closer to your circle of acquaintance, until the Go Fund Me is yours.

DiGiorno is begging you to clean up your life and not to eat an entire frozen pizza alone in the dark while you watch History Channel

Basically the entire Idaho Vandals team is in the transfer portal and I’m not saying the Griz should offer on all of them, but I’m not NOT saying that, either.

Good for Jason Eck. I’ve always liked his style. Brought such a fun, players-first vibe to Idaho. I’ve never seen a head coach with more enthusiasm on the sideline. Positive energy. Great on social media. There are, uh, other teams in the Big Sky that, uh, could learn from that.

My 3rd grader wore a plaid suit to school today because his class is going to see the nutcracker and he wanted to look fancy. Yeah, he’s that kid.

Just like in prizefighting (and every other contact sport) college football players need to go get that money. When you’re sacrificing your body (& in some cases your mind) for these institutions that profit hugely from your labor, get paid as much as you can as fast as you can.

Well. There’s a lot to unpack from that season of Grizzly Football. It’ll be an interesting offseason in Missoula. Four months until the spring game …

Wooooo! Griz score … their first touchdown against SDSU in two games.

Feels like the Griz defense has been committing bad penalties in critical situations all year.

I may not actually be at peace

I am at peace with whatever happens*. *In a football game.

Ballgame

Seriously, are the Montana Grizzlies trying to kill me
