really big of Deshaun Watson to forgive the team that overlooked dozens of allegations of sexual assault to give him the largest guaranteed contract in NFL history, in spite of the fact that he has performed extremely poorly for them

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Today would be a great day to leak the net revenue sharing transfers for the last ten years, so people can understand just how much money some teams are sharing and how much money many owners are just pocketing. MLB protects this information because your ignorance benefits them.

The Pope is WEAK on crime is so gd funny; I am HOWLING

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

Yes, let’s take the war criminal who is a proven liar at his word. What a masterful negotiator this guy must be.

How fucking disgusting is this? These are probably the same people that put a steak on the ground, hide behind a tree, shoot a bear, and act like they’re elite hunters. It can’t be about capturing criminals if you’re exploiting their kindness to apprehend them.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

In many ways we're better about these issues than we were 30 years ago, but in others we're not, still feeding fans lies about how money will ruin baseball straight from the mouths of the people who can afford to buy baseball franchises.

Baseball has survived a racist color line, game fixing, The Great Depression, two world wars, a work stoppage that canceled a World Series, and Bowie Kuhn. Can we stop talking about "one team trying too hard to win" as an existential threat to the game?

you'd think Giraffe Manor would have higher ceilings

Former police officer takes Email Job and immediately crumbles, describing the mere act of going to an office every day as a Herculean act of strength and discipline.

It's always a good day to remember that literally every Confederate general was literally a traitor.

We all know that nothing can go wrong at dams

Hulu ruining the Oscars is really poetic coming after Sean Baker’s speech about streaming services killing the movies

In sports, there would be few things more grotesque & craven than MLB reinstating a man who bet on games as an active player and manager. But from an industry leadership team that betrayed & lied about Oakland & Montreal, also entirely consistent.

I'd go to both New York parks more if I could have a conversation with the person sitting next to me without having to scream. Alas.

I'm glad that almost all of the people who fought in World War II are dead so they don't have to hear the vice president of the United States lecture the Germans about how they need to be more open to Nazism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

I feel like blue sky people are getting a little more chill because i did a post about how i like to listen to music and only a couple people were offended by it

Talking like a broke boy as the owner of the New York Yankees. Shameful

Buddy Ebsen was originally cast as the horse of a different color, but he had an allergic reaction to the paint. #TCMParty

Scarecrow: Lions and tigers and bears! Tin Man: Lions and tigehs and beahs! #TCMParty

Ray Bolger and Jack Haley had exact opposite assignments: dance as loosely as possible, dance as stiffly as possible. #TCMParty

There absolutely will be an election in 2028. Conditioning yourself to believe otherwise is obeying in advance. Don’t do that.

Which party saved the Teamsters’ freckin’ pension?

the sports reference series of websites are some of the last good ones on the internet. they’ve never once changed their design to ruin it, have never hid critical functions behind a paywall, the stathead stuff they do put behind a paywall is incredible/worth charging for. i hope we never lose them

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Store clerk: Finding everything okay? Me, not finding a damn thing: Yes!

The point, I hope, isn't to create a perfect social media discourse. The point is to have a place to go where you can see posts by people you want to see posts from and not get yelled at by humans and robots alike.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
