Thanks Desman Stephens II and USC. You are horrible.

Dante Moore done for the season. Terrible development for Oregon and the young QB.

Remember when the #MLB got in bed with FTX? I'm thinking these Polymarket and Kalshi deals might look just as bad soon. If not already. MLB loves crypto sponsorships!

Good list. Adding or augmenting: - Codify Roe v Wade - Kill Citizens United - SCOTUS term limits - Add SCOTUS 3 justices - Impeach a bunch of fuckers - Raise minimum wage

October 17 is a nationwide NO KINGS day of action ahead of the midterms. There are rallies taking place all over the country to promote early voting and make sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options, and is ready to make their voice count. Find an event: https://www.nokings.org/

FOX has been amping up the volume on every pitch for years. It’s annoying, but then I imagine that there is a person whose only job is to push that button at the right time and I feel better. #MLB #NLCS

I’ve decided to be as polite, respectful, and thankful as possible with my agents. You can’t be too sure.

Japan will have to face the music sooner or later. Either do some nutso “homeland” fertility incentive program or accept the fact that migration and immigration is real. They are running out of time.

The Japanese government increased fees for permanent residency by 2,000 percent as part of a bid by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to make it harder for foreigners to stay in the country.

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.

IGN@ign.com

Disney+ has altered its user agreement to clarify that ads will be allowed on all subscription tiers. https://bit.ly/4hhOjBo

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

This has been the best thing I could have done. No more constant stream of stupid clips of stupid people saying stupid shit and then people quoting those clips saying how stupid everything is.

Just had to unfollow most of the political accounts here. Things are just too stupid.
