Happy New Year can check:

Lol that call is trash

That....was a lot of pass interference

This is a strange way of saying “we’re complying with court orders now that we failed to get #SCOTUS to stay them.”

Look...I want to like Amy Acton and her campaign, but they're making it really hard. I've received this same email 5 times since December 7th. I don't think this subject line is as impactful as they think it is. Why not just "While Vivek flies from one county to another..." and the the jeep line 1

Opened my eyes and ears to a whole 'nother world!

Stupid sexy Swedish Gregg Berhalter

I helped Alexandra Daddario figure out how to work the oven in her new house.

Need help creating my bingo card for the year, so send your suggestions. The card is full of things that could happen, not necessarily things I want to accomplish. I didn't cross much off of 2025's, but that's ok! The point is to have a mix of things! Some outlandish, some "yeah, could happen."

Surber singing "Mr. Jones" through a rotary phone made the Las Vegas Bowl preview another perfect @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social. @surber.bsky.social

This 2nd paragraph hit hard. When I found out my FIL died, my best friend & I had just finished a literal marathon. When I told my wife, who had spent the morning ignoring calls from her mom, she broke down. My friend said a variation of "he died doing what he loved" that was, uh, not well received.

End-Of-Year brain is setting in: just used the calculator to figure out how much it would cost us to buy 20,000 journals at $5 each.

Also that guy you're arguing with was the guy who argued the Galactic Empire was good in Star Wars. You don't have to engage his fetish for arguing here.

Wingstop, I don't really need 2 factor authentication on my app, just let me order some mid wings and be on my way.

Last call to post your #RunChatHunt finds. Give us a tag wherever you post so we can see them and repost!

Lol I initially read HR as "human resources" and was really excited to see a new celly. But this was good too

Merry Christmas to y'all, and to y'all a goodnight

Dear Connections, one of your green answers is spelled wrong for what you were trying to do.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

At the office for a half or 2/3rds day. So far, my last email, the "these spam emails came in that maybe caught something important" email, came at 7:45 this morning. Let's see how the day goes and if anything else comes in.

LET'S GO!!! CMC had me sweating last night, but I'm now your two-time champs (out of three seasons)!

Tried to find something about Jesse Owens' time at Ford at the Benson -- no luck. Asked the archivist if they had anything sports-related, and he said "we have some box with correspondence about Joe Louis, don't know if it's interesting." It was, um, interesting. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I might've done too much writing today. I just spelled "giant" with a J.

Coming to you from Freso, Ohio

who calls the shots where you get your news? defector.com/products

Hey Kyle Shanahan, please bench CMC for tomorrow. I'll split my fantasy football winnings with you

Ohio farmers see one-year, 74% loss in Chinese sales due largely to Trump tariffs, report shows ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/16/o...

Feels like as good a time as any to dive in.

Finally lol

Lol the ref just told Jake Paul that the fans didn't pay to watch this crap (his "fighting").

In case you were wondering: the first round just ended and Jake Paul has already resorted to tying Anthony Joshua up multiple times.

TWolves should not be allowed to wear white tees under the Prince jerseys.

I haven't watched the Sixers this year but this Edgecombe dude is amazing.

Has Anthony Joshua put his fist clean through the head of whichever Paul brother that is yet?

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

An actual image used by a Dispatch writer for his story (he has the photo credit, so he gets the blame). How do they expect someone to read it? At the very least, but a box behind it.

this is basically why they teach you to write a line through the end of the amount portion of a check

Me when I found out our youngest was the arms dealer for neighborhood Nerf battles, selling to both sides.

if you're thinking about paying for facebook you should simply give me power of attorney over your finances instead

Just got stopped by ICE at the Speedway off fisher on the West side. Looking for Haitians. New York plates on both vehicles that blocked me.

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week

Anyways I’m here on MLS SuperDraft day, the holiest day of the year, to remind you of the greatest social media handle in the history of SuperDraft picks. MLS peaked at this very moment.

I'm (only a little bit) mad. You can put it in the paper that I'm mostly not mad. Or at least, have gotten over being mad. Thanks to @defector.com for taking the time to chat with me! defector.com/creator-of-a...
