Michael Shannon cooking with gas here:

Some team is always going to be the most screwed, and some team is always going to be the least screwed, and it changes every season and it changes during the season.

According to a YouGov/UMass Lowell poll released today, 58% of people would support a law banning online or app-based sports gambling and prediction markets (Kalshi/Polymarket was a listed example).

I'm sorry everyone but I just listened to the Make It Rain Remix and it's a problematic banger. But a banger nonetheless. Goddamn.

Thien An is legitimately great. Really coming into her own lately. #Survivor #Survivor51

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

There is an interesting article to be written about how the people posting French revolution memes and pictures of guillotines are not all that different from the people who really wanted the firing squad live streamed, but many are not ready for that conversation.

this is what SNOWPIERCER is about

Macron: 'How can French people do this to France?'

I learned today that if I have two CC & Cokes and then watch the 1996 film 'Independence Day' in the company of my two children, I will cry when Randy Quaid dies.

My brother and I always talk about how important it is to have one of these kinds of jobs right out of high school. Something that grinds you down.

“I’m not going to work for a gambling company and have blood on my hands.” -- Nicole Noren, 24-year ESPN veteran and winner of Emmy, Murrow, and Peabody awards. Her grandfather, father and one of my brothers "were pretty much destroyed by sports gambling addiction." www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

It's funny how all these tech dorks like to talk about "natural hierarchys", or the "natural order" as if in a Hobbesian state of nature someone bigger and stronger wouldn't have just crushed their head with a rock. These people should be the most ecstatic we don't live in a "natural order".

I really do try to patronize locally-owned businesses, but damn, they make it so hard. In my experience, the non-chain places frequently aren't open when their listed hours claim they should be, and are far less responsive to any sort of attempt to contact.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

More like Hawk Tua, amirite? Because he choked? #NFL

Alright, I'm done here. There's a reason Tyson Bagent is a backup, and we're seeing it today. Outplayed today. Outcoached today. #Bears #NFL

Jon Ossoff is going for 2 up 60

ICC President Tomoko Akane responds to sanctions imposed by the rogue United States, ICC will not back down: "We'll be judged by history for the choices we make today." “The International Court will continue its work undeterred, with the firm resolve that justice must prevail.”

This happened to me today, a customer dropped off parts to be processed and mentioned the Department of War

Huh. Hmmm. I'm not even a socialist, and I don't think that's what it means.

It will be so funny if Carter switched tribes just to get voted out #survivor #survivor51

Yellowjackets. There was one specific moment on season 2 where I said out loud, "alright, I'm good here" and never watched another minute

I fully believe that this is Wayne's culture, because it's recognizably lower class white culture of the kind that JD Vance correctly excoriated in Hillbilly Elegy. However, it's not American culture or even PMC white culture. It's just hick culture.

Really feels like 'Digger' is going to be the 2026 'The Lighthouse'....a film not many people see, but whose adherents love.

people can be both oppressed and oppressors

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Please, sir, what to wear to a formal gala as a chubby gentleman?
