I guess Da Bears decided not to play football today too.
My 2 year old saw another 2ish year old in a Green bay Packer's shirt at Costco and said, "Football, dadda."
I said, "What monster would do that to a child and that's not football."
My hate knows no age limits. It only would have been better if my child said, "Go Bears." He missed the chance.

Jesus I wish Polymarket was legal here - or I had an invite to it already - because I would drop $500 and copy this profile and let that shit ride.

I thought MAGA didn't want to be the police of the world? That was literally a core point of their ideology, until its not. The only consistent ideology of MAGA is that there's no consistency.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Was the direction for Winona Ryder for the last two episodes of Stranger Things to
1. Look unblinkingly at people with your eyes wide open
And
2. Be as twitchy as possible
And
3. Always have a goofy look while doing 1 and 2.

Jesus, Noah Schnapp cannot act at all and to have him do that one scene and Ryder just looking at him with a befuddled look - was just hilariously cringe.

Hello new event study....

Well this is cool... According to muck rack, my name and work have been cited in over 400 media links in the past 25 months.
This is likely an undercount.
Also I'm avg almost a billion new unique monthly visitors across those links.

It's too bad that Oregon and Indiana have to play each other because that seems like the true championship game.
Also Ohio State - well deserved.
Georgia - I got no beef with you but also don't care you're at home now.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
