Announcers fondly reminiscing about the grotesquely racist "tomahawk chop"... flush them down the toilet

Today my complaint is that it sounds like there are six guys in the booth and none of them have anything worthwhile to say

In 2007 I bought a ticket to the NLDS in Phoenix to watch the Diamondbacks beat the Cubs and I don't remember paying more than like... $50? Now the cheapest ticket to the 2026 NLDS at Dodger Stadium is $142, but the real takeaway here is that I'm old as fuck

I think it's very unhelpful to have the Braves and Phillies dress almost exactly the same. Like oh no a guy with red sleeves struck out during this game I'm half-watching, this tells me even less than usual

on top of the emails showing Epstein directly supporting individual predatory professors, a professor who planned a "campus rape and consent" conference with the intention of undermining mid-2010s attempts at progress around Title IX requested funding for it from Epstein

Former UT professor sought money from Jeffrey Epstein Foundation

He sought $10K-$20K to cover the costs of a campus rape policy event.

Exceptional solidarity from ASU hockey players who have demanded their coach be placed on leave for essentially overseeing the murder of their teammate and have disputed the university’s findings. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.

For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.

Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever

After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

every SINGLE time we watch ANY show that goes to break on a cliffhanger I stage-whisper "REVENGE" to my beloved wife. Also the only time I have ever used my Television Academy membership is to attend the 15-year reunion at Televerse last month

Is there any world in which Taylor Swift doesn't go No. 1 with her re-release? Is four new tracks enough to juice the streaming numbers? I see both Tinashe and CRJ releasing digital-sales-only special editions for chart purposes but they're still gonna be orders of magnitude less, right?

It is really important to understand that anyone trying to claim this is a "technological transition" is either deeply misguided or trying to sell you something. What this is, is a deliberate act of harm being done by people with names and addresses.
