If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

Yeah, and I’ll add: many folks in my industry are *much* more comfortable criticizing him off the field now that he clearly stinks on it.

"I covered this trade very closely ... if he had played well, he would have been praised" feels like a very measured, very polite way of saying "I talked about Deshaun Watson online in 2022 and 2023, and people who thought he was going to be a good QB posted the worst things a human can type at me"

It’s me I’m like a lot of Americans I ✅support same sex marriage ✅care about the environment ✅will grind society’s bones to a powder through unchecked free market economics and key-jangling propaganda to avoid paying a single dollar of my taxes

Ralph Whiskey averaged 350 innings a season before integration

your baseball pitcher name is your grandfather’s first name and the last thing you bought i’ll go first mine’s Dominic Sandals

Was not available and they could offer me the exact amount I paid back and not a penny more, despite the fact the Broncos were still selling tickets. Just seeing the word StubHub makes me start cursing under my breath. Sorry, had to vent so I don’t tell my wife about it for the 50th time. (2/2)

Tony Bourdain taught us all that a place is full of good food, good people, and good experiences despite very shitty politics and I think it’s kind of classically American to have thought we were excluded from that Venn diagram

Jeff Grubb@grubb.wtf

I thought the world cup was going to be a nightmare, but I forgot that we actually love when people like us

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

Politicians need as much attention as possible, as frequently as possible, while seeming as relatable as possible—and a cheat code exists to hit all three objectives, Nathaniel Frum writes:

Still true today: one of the best pieces of advice I ever got as an adult is for when ordering flowers: 1) Call a local florist directly 2) Ask for their choice of what looks best 3) Provide a price point Absolute winner every time. Thanks @hollyanderson.bsky.social!!

I know there are lots of good people in college administration, but it's increasingly one of those roles like "private equity lawyer," "oil executive," or "Red Sox fan" where you're really going to have to convince me in each individual case

Anyway student journalists have been and remain one of the best reasons to have hope for this country

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

David Roberts@volts.wtf

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Anyway, I feel like that guy right now as I see a Michael Jackson biopic getting released. No, we're not doing this, I don't care what you tell me.
