Rory McIlroy might be the only living person who hates LIV Golf more than I do.

Hello to you, too, New York Times

Other than Pelosi in the first term, has any Dem rattled Trump’s cage like Ossoff did this week?

We Taught Scooby Doo How To Say Craig Biggio; The Results Will Stun You

it’s funny that every week there’s a headline about a Democrat winning a Trump+27 seat and major media outlets are running “three seats that will decide the midterms” stories every day

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔🧐🤨🕵️‍♂️

Worked out my anger about the craven dismissals of the 2020 protest movement over at The Nation www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Caitlin Clark got a little upset at Paige Bueckers grabbing her arm since Dallas had a foul to give, Paige told her to calm down

lol finally an NIL story that doesn't suck www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

you do not get a free run as a columnist at a paper and columnists whining about this thinking they can publish whatever they want is a misunderstanding of how this works. there are editors for a reason, they empowered and required to spike bad copy. if you want free reign, go publish on substack

Zelvy-kun, the mascot of FC Machida Zelvia, is a rather athletic blue-headed kingfisher.

Having looked into the "spreadsheet people" thing on here, I'm no closer to understanding who's upset about what, though there seems to be some sort of tribute to this going on

Some of you are way too worried about spreadsheet guy this and spreadsheet guy that, but you’re forgetting that the only way to truly Excel is through the Lord

Conservative media types in Seattle frothing with resentment about living in a progressive city is so funny because like, my guy, you can just move to Bellevue?

Ok I deserve one hour in BlueSky Jail for giving attention to The Bad Opinion Haver but I think it’s very revealing that when asked to talk about how good Olivia Miles is at basketball, Sophie Cunningham’s compliment was “she has the wiggle of a guy”

there are standards for opinion pieces and there are damn good reasons they get spiked. just because you have an opinion as a columnist doesn’t mean it’s entitled to run. good luck with the right wing pivot

At Citi Field, the spirit of Jeff McNeil lives on

A Republican legislator in Iowa vouched for the character of a man now convicted multiple times of sexual abuse of minors - and used official stationery to do so.

Creativity is built from years of writing book reports based on the book jacket synopsis of books you didn’t read. 800-1000 words of pure flow on the page. AI has destroyed this.

Georgia Tech out here letting everyone know where they stand.

Watching this back you can see Troy was right—Washington sat down and Mendoza expected him to stay there

what if the giant skeletons all come to life this halloween

thank you to everyone for bringing this to my attention

Fernando Mendoza to Kirk Cousins in like week 5

let's not do the dildo tossing again

for a few seconds this was one of the most terrifying videos I had ever seen until I got the context of "it's a raccoon"

2026 Olivia Ranking 1. Miles 2. Rodrigo 3. Dean I am pro-Olivia Dean and it brings me no pleasure to report this

not that the "higher purpose wife" and "Christian devotional relationship" stuff isn't bizarre and fun to riff around but if Michael Wolff reported that a White House aide said "hello" i'd wait for confirmation from somebody who doesn't make shit up before wasting my time thinking about it

Seems like every story I read about DSA candidates overanalyzes the whole DSA vs. mainline Dem dynamic when it really comes down to “knocking on doors and asking other humans what they want from their representatives.”

items you find in an open world game right before a miniboss zombie attacks you

Gonna restart the perfect songs thread from the other spot, someone got most of them here so first, catch up open.spotify.com/playlist/2VL...

“but who will write a poorly thought out piece about trans athletes if the Seattle Times won’t run it” idk one of the dozen other outlets that have in the last month alone

That would certainly explain a lot of things

Ah yes. The higher purpose bride. I think all normal people are familiar with this normal concept.

New haka just dropped from the Wheel Blacks at the World Wheelchair Rugby Championships

i promise that all my bad opinions are MADE BY MY HUMAN BRAIN

yes i am a pervert and yes these are ray bans but these are NOT the pervert ray bans, my perversion is completely analog thank you very much

On top of all of the actual life/career-altering bullshit that’s swirling around this league rn, there’s a thick frosted layer of extra annoyance when you can’t just be a lunchpail hater

The Raiders’ top five running back sure looks li—*wait what*

Private equity buying a significant stake ii the Falcons, a team that has made tons of money despite falling into disrepair? Can't see the synergy there

lol the Texans defense added Kayden Macdonald man

First learning lesson for Mendoza, can’t be late coming back over the middle

If you're always hungry you should try eating a potato the size of a house

Two things can be true. 1) MNUFC invest in their roster at a bottom-third rate. Winning requires a good hit-rate on intl signings + good player development. 2) Even considering budget, El-Ahmad's marquee signing was a shirt-selling gimmick and his roster is worse than what he inherited in Nov 2023.

im tired of this response. i like watching good pregame shows!

I just rented The Furious on VOD, which kicks illegal levels of ass. It then prompted me to immediately go back and rewatch Joe Taslim fight scenes from Warrior. We had a TV show where he got to do stuff like this on the regular, and we didn't fully appreciate it:

Can’t stress enough how much Ireland loved this dolphin. They talked about him like Lil Sebastian. They’re still trying to sort out his biography years later

hey look the world’s preeminent enemy of representative democracy is at it again

It’s sad as the end of an era, but I’m really looking forward to our new David Roth/Pat McAfee podcast.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS was released 17 years ago this week. A revisionist World War II tale and Quentin Tarantino’s first foray into the war genre, the story of how it came to be is as out there as you’d expect for QT… 1/48

remember when he walked around with a clearly fake melania for months and no one said anything about it

Kinda looks like #15 is twerking behind him

This Steelers WR group looks strong to me—especially for an Aaron Rodgers-helmed offense that needs to be efficient and pick up yards after the catch. 📺: youtu.be/7iUb37zm9c8?...

The Texans’ starting OL looks good against the (mostly backups) Raiders…as they should

Former Washington QB Joe Theismann chiming in on the data center issue from 1977

History has vindicated a lot of my opinions but none more than young me reading the Harry Potter books and saying they sucked. My college girl loved them and failed to make me budge from that position. And now look! The world has caught up.

CJ Stroud with one of the most normal pregame warmups we’ve ever seen

great decision, analytically

just emerging from a family dinner where my mom demanded that my sibling explain to her the omegaverse and mpreg. what’s the opposite of unscathed!

at the point in my life where if you talk about ai, I instantly check out. I'm out mentally. I'm scrolling by. I'm looking at you and appearing as though I'm listening but I am thinking about DeVonta Smith catching TDs

The NWSL had no formal involvement in MLS's "restorative accountability" process for Gavin Wilkinson, according to sources briefed on his clearance to return to work within MLS. www.nytimes.com/athletic/752...

Today's newsletter is free. In it I talk about the increasingly common "I came up with all the ideas! I merely had AI write it out for me!" excuses and explain why they are total horseshit and should be dismissed out of hand. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Genuinely really surprised by this. It always seemed like he was itching to go off and do something different at the end of his contract.

How long til the season starts for FCS and D2?

When the doctor who made multiple recommendations at your annual physical about how you can and should take better care of yourself reaches back out to let you know that the labs came back normal

Sources: The Jaguars are getting healthy on the offensive line, as Cole Van Lanen is coming off the PUP list today, having passed his physical. He injured his knee in Week 18, and now he is set to return to the field.

Right now we have one subscriber. His name is Kyle. If more people subscribe he will call himself a YouTube influencer. @minakimes.bsky.social

Our Ira Gorawara got the story of the Pitt player eating fish out of the river that Pat Narduzzi mentioned. Incredible: www.nytimes.com/athletic/752...

Four percent of people waiting for a little more information to come in, they don't want to be too hasty

I'm sorry but this is laughable horseshit. Get outta here with this PR!

Colts TE Tyler Warren is expected to miss about a week with a minor groin injury suffered in training camp, source says. No worries for Week 1.

Fernando Mendoza pick six to Wade Woodaz

service time manipulation...complete

"We are what we do" is an ethos that has never, ever failed me. The people in media who tolerate and sometimes even venerate total shitbirds because they're chummy with them offline or whatever are worthless pieces of crap for whom I have zero respect. And yeah, it happens in sports media too.

he's been open about his white supremacy for years, they're only doing this now because they got called out on it

Fewest innings to 2,000 career strikeouts: Chris Sale: 1,626 IP Jacob deGrom: 1,661 IP Yu Darvish: 1,697 ⅓ IP Pedro Martinez: 1,711 ⅓ IP Gerrit Cole: 1,714 ⅔ IP Randy Johnson: 1,733 ⅓ IP h/t @EliasSports

i think my favorites here are South Cuanto and Marc

yeah that was the problem. kamala should have gone anti-trans, that definitely would have won over a decisive 1 percent of voters and absolutely not lost 20-30 percent in the process

my take on the 49ers Substation Conspiracy Theory is I think there's a pretty clear reason the 49ers actually keep having injury issues and the team's coaches, execs and players regularly talk about it glowingly

The replies on Instagram calling it a Friday the 13th knockoff are f r y i n g me
