Imagine if whether you lived or died depended on whether an old senile and malevolent man got annoyed by a segment on CNN or if there’s another news story about a minor development in the Epstein Files?

“Daddy?” “Yes.” “What are gigolos?” Now I see what my grandparents were talking about in the ‘80s when they said Prince was nasty smh

man ... Peanut Tillman just said he got a tennis ball machine to improve his hand-eye coordination and now i know exactly what i wanna get Dez for his birthday

I’m “there’s too many teenagers over there to stop for lunch” old

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Appreciate it, man. ✊🏾 For anyone else so moved, we talked Trump, why it’s a waste of time to FaceTime me, Sonny Sykes as a high school hooper and the SEC taking the L at Ringer Tailgate this week. youtu.be/JgYaLqMoUNU?...

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

In a functioning civil society, an institution as big and as influential as the Gates fdn would be subject to an independent review of foundation activities during the time in question to understand if and how much Epstein and his illicit acts/motivations were commingled with Gates fdn strategy.

Responsibility and accountability are two very different things. With this latest admission, his previous denials and what is alluded to in the Epstein files...it's quite likely that the richest man/philanthropist in the world was significantly compromised.

If you know me from Tampa, or if you still read the @tampabaytimes.bsky.social, I had to close out this episode with a few words about my former colleague Joey Knight, who passed away last week at the age of 57. He was a good man who really cared about local news, and it's a big loss.

I need to familiarize myself with their explanations for showing up in the first place.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Was thinking about it the other day and despite not feeling cute anymore, I’m gonna have to be one of those people who talk into my smartphone and upload 2 minute videos of me talking about shit I don’t feel like writing about or that fall in between podcast recording days smh

If you have toddlers, you always eventually find out what new virus is hot in the streets.

When college basketball coaches go low, should we go high? Me and @joelanderson.bsky.social on the Mick Cronin Affair. Full pod here: open.spotify.com/episode/0EFv...

Seasons are such a scam. Hoodie weather for 345 days a year is what I want

TCU with a big home win over West Virginia in a game I think could’ve used more 25-year-old G-League washouts

It’s so wack to have gone from the Bay Area for nearly a decade to this bullshit.

Hello media consumers: We've got a three-man pod with @bryancurtis.bsky.social, @joelanderson.bsky.social, and @davidshoemaker.bsky.social coming this week. We need your questions. Send 'em to pressboxringer @ gmail dot com.

Has anyone ever come up with the backstory to that pic of Jesse Jackson and Marvin Gaye hooping in a driveway or wherever?

At Ringer Tailgate, we talked the return of Trinidad, Belichick’s new QB, and if people are praying on MJ’s downfall. There was other stuff but I can’t remember - I can only promise you we didn’t have Trump on. 💻: youtu.be/mBY9N-4j0xk?... 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/6NOn...

two things i really miss today that we're never getting back: google reader and tweetdeck.

New PRESS BOX w/ @joelanderson.bsky.social: Jesse Jackson's Legacy ...and the Story of WaPo's Milton Coleman Updates on the Atlantic, Colbert, and Not-Prince Andrew When Basketball Coaches Attack open.spotify.com/episode/0EFv...

Cam drops, like, 24 🔥 bars from his Screw tape cipher days and you gotta get to that. It also reminded me that I should’ve just had one verse I could lean on instead of trying to go off the dime every time the cipher started smh

Watts, his music and influence meant so much to me, my friends & my peers. I wanted to tell a few stories about freestyle circles, fruity loops, & just the pride of Texas representation he inspired . Linked up w/ @joelanderson.bsky.social to talk about that MAYNE! soundcloud.com/southkongres...

ICYMI from yesterday: Rev. Jesse Jackson had an athlete’s swagger and confidence and he expected to win, which explained so much about his life and life’s work. I wrote about some of that here.

Jesse Jackson died Tuesday at the age of 84. The civil rights icon always held America to account—and never stopped fighting to preserve what he knew could be taken away. I wrote about how he saw our future so well.

Found out today that there’s no way to hide the gray in my beard unless I just don’t have a beard anymore smh.

from josh's tour de force season of slow burn on david duke. unreal lol.

and on another note, i put together a sad boy in the office playlist this weekend just in time for this kind of writing. i'll see y'all later, hopefully.

really sad about the death of rev. jesse jackson this morning and i'm gonna be writing something about it for @theringer. but in the meantime, a couple of recommendations. 1. @jamellebouie.net's piece from 2016 about Jackson's groundbreaking presidential campaigns. www.slate.com/articles/new...

It’s funny because I had an editor in Atlanta - one of the worst people I’ve ever met in the business, a total and complete clown - insert an error into my copy at a place where errors went into your HR file. He was gonna let me get in trouble over it too, but thankfully I kept meticulous records

Few things are more professionally frustrating than having an untalented manager insisting on themselves and their right to heavily edit your work. The only thing you can do is hope they get distracted or plan to leave.

So…the Bari Weiss-led CBS News loses Anderson Cooper from 60 Minutes after 20 years but keeps Peter Attia, the health contributor whose name appears in documents connected with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein over 1,700 times. So far, she’s covering the institution in glory. https://loom.ly/fI7qA9o

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

Gassed already from trying to get a 3yo ready for the day when 85 percent of our conversation is jokes about how he needs to poop and he refuses to stay still for even 2 seconds smh

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

I just turned to this and it seems like these boys are playing hard

Our story @chicagotribune.com: Chicago teen Ofelia Torres, whose father was detained by ICE while she fought cancer, dies. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/14/c...

the word “citizens” is doing an absolutely incredible amount of reprehensible work in this screenshot

There are other reasons that kept me off the slopes but the Sonny Bono shit kinda cinched that unfortunately
