i guess we can’t really do away with college football, since that’s what makes nfl football possible, and without the nfl, there would be no fantasy football. but that doesn’t mean anyone should be watching it, letting alone posting about it

thinking about rfk jr getting hit by a truck, then getting scraped off the road by another larger and more leathery rfk jr who eats the first one for dinner saying fee fi fo fum and all that stuff before getting beanstalked (new violent act im inventing) by a small plucky rfk jr, etc etc

maybe trump’s dead now though

let’s start a willie wonka type sweepstakes to find a primary challenger for hakeem jeffries. hakeem jeffries would be like the chocolate factory, and ideally we’d get a bunch of kids to just go nuts on him and if we have to make one of those kids a congressperson, fine

is anyone doing a football podcast called “Go Long” yet?

don’t let the really bad be the enemy of the good

the cognitive empath everyone

live action adaptations of anime are all bad with no exceptions and that will always be the case forever sorry!

“which will help” is INSANE and irresponsible framing

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

loser got his obligatory reply-like for sycophants and turned comments off

it would be so easy to beat josh hawley up

good film criticism is when you outline the premise of a film

i would like to organize a spirit bomb this thursday on behalf of the knicks. i know they’re playing at MSG, but i think we should aim it halliburton’s dad wherever he is

i can save bluesky by posting more

what if he had practiced santeria tho

they should have forced mobley and deandre hunter to play. they should have been very stern with them about playing tonight

the pacers love “upsetting” teams decimated by injuries. fairweather haliburton strikes again

fortunately, the knicks and celtics agreed to a one-game, best-of-one series

it is a testament to what a colossal black hole of aura jayson tatum is that he gains no cool by association with jaylen brown and has actually somehow made brown a square

whose bright idea was it to not have any basketball on tonight

you think those million dollar checks are gonna clear now

you shouldn’t have to buy pretzels, you should just have them

every single car looks like shit now

yes right of course

hello idiot

“it’s just china off the waters of your coast” is so much like one of those gibberish lyrics from a mid 70s soft rock band that when i read it, another voice in my head adds a harmony

i care about things like what’s going on with goku and what goku is doing

this place is a HOTBED of bad oscars takes

somebody drag biden’s ass out to rub his face in this mess. we should at least get to throw tomatoes at him or something

trying to get a wellness grift going. what about epsom salted caramel

A fun awesome legal thing that everyone can do nowadays is take a walk around the neighborhood or even a whole day outside once in a while, without any computer or cell phone on you, with a loved one or a friend in your community, or even by yourself, and just talk calmly about what’s happening …

who cares if aliens invade earth. what are they gonna do, ruin it
