To all the NFL fans who had to listen to Tim Brando and Matt Millen call a game today, you are in my thoughts. Rough stuff.

Obviously Pat McAfee attracts viewers, otherwise ESPN wouldn’t be doing this. But all I see is negative reactions to him (including my own, especially with that five minute speedo stunt at Miami). The silent majority, I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe the Nolan brothers have read this book (one whose premise is fascinating but I could never finish), as it is referenced (not explicitly iirc) at the end of season 1 of Jonathan’s “Westworld” reboot. I have to think Chris has as well because of the Odyssey’s centrality to the book’s thesis.

Sean Hannity: "Lindsey Graham, he was often unfairly characterized as a warmonger...it's not true. The truth was the opposite. Trump, a little later: He "was extremely hawkish. I will tell you, he never saw a war that he didn't like. Only his true friends would understand that."

This could be the issue that not only loses him NPA votes but compels them to come out to vote against him. You simply can't trust someone who says they are going to protect consumers from costs as they are pocketing literal millions from AI.

@rodger.bsky.social I consider you the sole World Cup expert, at least the most excitable and entertaining. Historically, is the third place match worth watching? Should we expect this year be any different?

This weird shit with Hesgeth testosterone boosting plan could inadvertantly further the discourse about the spectrum and levels of hormones people of both sexes are born with. Defintiely has applications with sports. But I'm Mr. Brightside sometimes.

Josh did miss Catherine every now and then, but mostly he was pretty happy with the trade.

If I’m going to be forced to vote for David Jolly in the general, it is nice to know that not only was he not a Tea Party Republican, but the Pinellas County Republicans Tea Party (and others) conspicuously did not endorse him when he ran for reelection in 2016.
