I fully expect JJ McCarthy to start next week. Nothing good I can say about the Giant’s current QB. Too many issues on and off the field. How many “mistakes” does a man have to make before you realize he’s just not very good? The dude makes shite decisions.

So let me see if I have this right: Tony Romo drives drunk (admittedly an asshat move) and he is fired. Deshaun Watson was sued by more than two dozen female massage therapists for sexual harassment and sexual assault, but he gets a nice glazing from the Thursday Night Broadcast Crew? #NFLDoBetter

Sigh. Went to a Kaiser skin care doctor for an annual checkup. I have Kaiser insurance at $1168.39 per month. They paid $168 of a $803 bill. The other $617 gets paid by me. The American insurance industry must be burnt to the ground and the earth salted so it never grows back. #WealthCare

Is it just me, or is there something telling about the fact that when AI goes rogue, it's never to fix something, or to create something, or to solve a problem? If your parents are sociopaths, what kind of chance do you have?

Pretty sure the #Falcons can pull off a winless season with just a bit of effort. Maybe they can bring in another glass quarterback in the draft.

Time after time, the "bold" prediction is that the Falcons will win 50% of their games and season after season they find a way to under achieve. With Kevin Stephanski bringing the power of *checks notes* The Cleveland Browns with him, it should be an epic year. Sigh. www.nfl.com/news/michael...

Anyone else think that the "reward" for being a trillionaire should be immediately, summary execution? Also worth pointing out that the local dictionary doesn't even have the word. It's too stupid to exist and any society that puts up with it deserves what it gets.
Spell check attempting to find the word "Trillionaire" and failing.

White House finally installs McDonald's.
 like something from a dystopian novel, two gray construction arches rise up behind the White House. The headline says "Construction begins on UFC Stadium at White House." We are basically in the stupidest timeline of all possible existence. This is what we are now: a Disneyland of corruption and ignorance.
