Did we cancel D-Day because of a little rough weather? No. Play the damn game.

Readers added context

D-Day was delayed by a day because of the weather

Every time Deshaun Watson comes up I remember that the media figure who I heard beat the drum loudest in the pre-draft run-up that Watson had impeccable character and was born to lead men was none other than Mike Lombardi

If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

Mike Tomlin leaving coaching and immediately becoming an elite builder of Minecraft cities reminds me of when Dr House got suspended and immediately became an amazing cook

It's hard to properly explain to somebody who doesn't follow baseball just how improbable it felt 2 years ago that the White Sox would win a playoff series in 2026. For my music friends, imagine if out of nowhere the next Yes album was good.

50 years ago today, Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life' was released. It spent thirteen consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 and won a Grammy for Album of the Year...

In my final conversation with my mother she told me she had no regrets about treating me like shit when I was younger because she believed that without her acting as she did I would have ended up homeless. It wasn't the only straw, but it was the final one.

every song written by a man can be grouped under one of two genres: 1) dying alone at sea 2) blowjobs: good all songs written by women are murder ballads hope this is clarifying

Released 13 Sep 1972, 'Close To The Edge' by Yes. The album's centrepiece is the 18 minute title track, with themes & lyrics inspired by the Hesse novel Siddhartha. Side 2 contains 2 non-conceptual tracks, the folk-inspired "And You and I" & the rocker Siberian Khatru. It sold over a million. #Yes

This is in large part because of my own experiences growing up, but one of my most immovable beliefs is that parents using children (including adult children) as their therapist is abuse and should be treated by society as such.

If there is such a thing as an underrated John Coltrane album, I think it's his 1963 album Ballads, which I'm listening to now. I get that people want early 60s Coltrane to only be a steady conveyor belt towards eventual free jazz craziness, but Coltrane and his band were REALLY GOOD at this stuff.

Nine-panel Calvin and Hobbes strip, edited.

Panel 1: A bespectacled doctor in a white coat leans over a desk, holding out a small box to Calvin. "Put your right hand in the box."

Panel 2: Calvin, clutching Hobbes, looks up warily. "What's in the box?" The doctor, hand resting on the box: "Pain."

Panel 3: Calvin howls, "Why are you doing this??" The doctor answers with eyes closed and a faint smile: "An animal in a trap will gnaw off its own leg to escape. What will you do?"

Panel 4: Cut to the waiting room. Calvin's mum sits in a chair reading a magazine. From off-panel: "No need to call for help. Your mother is behind that door. None will get past her."

Panel 5: Mum reads on, magazine raised. She whispers: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration…"

Panel 6: A jagged burst of shouting from off-panel: "NO!! I'll never cooperate, you hideous bug-eyed freak! NEVER!!" Mum has not moved.

Panel 7: More shouting: "You can contain my BODY, but you can't chain my SPIRIT! Walls can't confine it! Laws can't restrain it! You can try to leave a message, but my spirit screens its calls!!" Mum is staring blankly ahead

Panel 8: Enormous block letters fill the panel — "AAAAAGHHHHHHHHH" — as mum is shocked out of the chair, which tips over backwards.

Panel 9: Outside, mum stands, looking down at Calvin. "What did the Reverend Mother say?" Calvin, striding in: "All history up to this point has been spent preparing the world for my presence."

I have a longstanding theory that there's a gene analogous to the cilantro soap gene that specifically affects how people react to me when they meet me in person. When people don't like me, it is instant, visceral, and vicious, and this has been a thing my whole life
