Luke O’Neil’s acclaimed collection of fiction We Had It Coming is close to infesting those fucking smart heater joints that you turn on remotely on the way home and they don’t work and your house is still cold when you get there but it’s gonna basically do all that unless you buy 50,000 copies.

This is this Thursday night. Two legit titans of sportswriting in a smallish room in Brooklyn being asked questions like "Tom Brady, why is he like that do you think" by me and Patrick.
A flyer for the October 15 Squawkin Sports event at DSK Brooklyn, 710 Fulton Street. There's a QR code for tickets and art of the two books/authors we'll be talking to, Wright Thompson and The Cost Of These Dreams and Seth Wickersham and Be On That Hill.

We are going to regret this. Our support for this. We the very lucky to be still be alive will regret it sooner or later. We might even tell ourselves somewhere down the line that we never did in the first place. That we in fact opposed it. That we knew right from wrong when it was happening.

Wall Street Journal reported on a 2024 New Year’s Eve celebration where Ken Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives and a woman who wasn’t his wife www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
"As fireworks exploded over the Burj Khalifa skyscraper to welcome 2025, Paxton and his girlfriend Tracy Duhon watched from a luxury high-rise balcony full of people, according to a video of the gathering reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, details of which were contained in court filings and confirmed by people familiar with the matter.

Among those at the event with Texas’ top law-enforcement official were two Americans who had been indicted months before on federal healthcare-fraud charges but failed to return to the U.S., Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter. Ahmed, a healthcare executive, had donated $190,000 to Paxton, campaign finance records show, including $25,000 days after he was indicted."

From my interview with showrunner Chris Cantwell, on why people would keep working and living in a haunted hospital
These people — why don’t they leave? As Victor would point out, that’s a very privileged question to ask of every single character on the show. Seeing the characters wrestle with that can be painful and enervating, but it can also be funny. “I’m sorry there’s an evil presence in the hospital that may be killing you. Let’s take you out for pizza!” Things like that are kind of a paltry consolation, but it’s one the characters often settle for. “Oh, Josephine’s mom made us lumpia, so this will be a nice day!” When they have the keys, Dorry uses them on the utility closet, where they keep all the shitty cookies. At the end of the day, they choose cookies instead of escape. Those little self-consolations, which are beautiful and also pathetic and nowhere near enough to correct a predatory system, are what’s at play in the story throughout.

This idea of complacency is very resonant and potent today. You wake up every day, and here’s the situation at hand: How do I address that? Can I address that? Do I have any agency to do so? How do I just survive from the morning until when I can crash into the bed at night, and hopefully make it another day? Does that make me complicit in some way in the system that perpetuates over all our heads and grinds us up into meat fuel? I think that’s something a lot of people are feeling.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Yes there are a lot of humorless scolds on here but the block button actually works, it shows your posts and links to people who have opted into seeing them, and -- this also perhaps of some concern -- 99% fewer Nazis. Taking the good with the bad.

Sorry to people who don't get enough sports highlights and movie talk on here or whatever but it is not worth it to me anymore to have every post I read bracketed by nazis and every one I post myself be algorithmically suppressed and yet still have the high potential of being responded to by nazis
