An Italian-American from Alabama was not meant to own a liter bottle of dark soy sauce. I have obtained the forbidden juice. I have defied the gods.

When are people in the sports world going to stand up and say “we would prefer the openly evil 28% approval rating president not attend our game in-person because it is a massive inconvenience for our in-person fans, a strain on local law enforcement, and harms the television product”

Saban’s sandwich construction in the Home Depot ad is atrocious. Two huge thick tomato slices stacked like that? That ain’t gonna hold up to even light pressure, my man.

Classics professor Emily Wilson has published a 15,000 word review tearing Nintendo a new hole for including a jump button in Ocarina of Time. "I am going to kill you in real life," she threatens over forty times.

Onslaught fuckin rocks. Like a lost John Carpenter movie. Adria Arjona chops up bad guys with a giant chainsaw. Dan Stevens playing a weird little Nazi sex freak. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I don’t think Dolly was attempting to becoming immortal but it will happen regardless. Her art and her life’s work will last for hundreds of years and she didn’t have to make anyone fear her or build any giant golden statues of her to do it.

Support and respect trans people, unequivocally and enthusiastically. There is no other choice for a decent human being. If you need it explained to you, I’m barely qualified to do so and it still wouldn’t be hard for me to explain why you need to treat human beings like human beings.

I’ll say this about Auburn fans: I’m not sure there’s another fanbase in college sports that could be this overconfident in the midst of a five-year streak of losing seasons. It’s kind of beautiful honestly.

School kids don’t need help learning how to use AI. They’ve spent the last few years using it to make fake images of women that men Tuberville’s age DM gift cards to

Tuberville says Alabama will teach all elementary school kids to use AI

YOU ARE NOT SCALABLE
The work is the thing, and there is no exit from it without distancing yourself permanently from the thing you wanted to be and do in the first place.

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.
