Not totally the point, but Matt saying “I advocate for modern dems doing what they’re already doing because they’re doing it” is some circular, sycophantic nonsense.

I read a while back that no country had gone from majority white to plurality white without heavy state violence, and I think about that a lot.

How can you not be romantic about sports

Putting together an outreach list for a client and the saddest shit imaginable is the SF tech bro on X with a Studio Ghibli avi, 2k posts about AI, and 60 followers. Even the bots don't like you, my guy.

Perfect end to a cursed Chiefs season.

BYU ninety yards on their opening drive and 81 since 😬😬😬

Will Cain is a whole bitch who got wrecked in sports and had to go shake ass for racists for money

Russillo in shambles

This has to be the most tedious way to go through life

Lamb is torching McDuffie. Not great!

So you’re saying you don’t like slop being shown to you without a way to avoid it? Huh. Weird. Anyway, real answer is that you could make your account private for a few days while the world moves on, but that’s incompatible with attention being your primary goal.

This is what being a Chiefs fan should feel like. Just abject horror and being good enough to make mistakes at all the wrong times. Feels like home.

@edsbs.bsky.social surely this is a record?

😇 Oakland and 😈 San Francisco

I genuinely believe this is a huge part of the LLM worship; half of these people are functionally illiterate

“Why can’t people find social connection on our platform?”

I had a real rough summer break between like 7th and 8th grade and read A CALL TO ARMS and PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER in about 3 days that was definitely an inflection point

and I guess to answer the question, the reason I watch sports isn't to make assertive statements about who is and isn't cheating, it's because I like watching sports to see what happens when athletes attempt greatness. that's part of what is a huge bummer about scandals like this.

Bankrupting CBS and selling to Newsmax is going faster than I’d thought possible

If I wanted to reduce cheating on pitch bets, I’m not sure that “make the bets harder to catch” would be my strategy

Okay first off that’d be KFFF not KFF you blanket ladder but there’s a second more important thing too

Just like Gin is what happens when drunk English sailors try to create Genever

Democrats 2026: We Tried Nothing and We’re Out of Ideas Vote Blue!

lol at the Iowa 6-7 TD celly

I am colorblind, but Oregon looks disconcertingly like Clemson. Iowa by 4 (a “Hawkeye rout,” they call it).

Ideal outcome frankly

ICE is trying to get shot at or an agent killed in Chicago and the good city is mercifully not obliging

I hate Penn State but this is tremendous content

You have to admit, penn state beating a top 5 team without Franklin is pretty funny

James Franklin gonna have to start going by “ha-mez”

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

Damn Democrats win one Election Day and everyone’s posting about Parks and Rec again?

Falling in love with a team is one of the great joys in sports fandom. Having the players say “no, this group really is that special” makes it even better.

Apple Podcasts shoved the most cursed podcast episode in front of me

12/10 headline

Between the Chiefs losing to the Eagles and the Jays losing to the Dodgers, it’s been a great year for my teams to lose to fun teams with good vibes

Didn’t know I still had headroom to get even more appalled, but this’ll do it. When we spun the elections desk back up at MTV in 2015, Teen Vogue was the standard. They’ve BEEN the standard, this entire time.

Disgruntled digital marketer here: this is spot on. The most common question in every professional community I’m in - many populated by leaders of companies growing exponentially - is: How do we create slop at scale for the Meta algorithm?

That Vlad Jr fly to the warning track feels like a week ago

This situation has “cautionary tale” written all over it and I don’t like it. He could/should be so much more.

These people are _so close_ to getting it, and yet…

This is how I became a Blue Jays fan, staying up way past my bedtime and rooting for the blue team because I didn’t like the red team’s uniforms.

The Toronto Blue Jays, baby. Get on board.

Yep

They killed our beautiful, disease-riddled monkeys!

A small misery of European life is waking up at midnight to be driven insane watching your team lose at 6am

Today I realised that the NFL's Peter Schrager was featured in the final Free Darko blog post?!

This is beautiful

lol, player 3 has to be LeBron
