All I've learned from this presser is that this specific voice and face combo was BEGGING for someone to cause him bodily harm at some point in his life. It just ending up being an NFL player. Meanwhile he's *still* trolling by calling him by his full gov't name. F*ck this guy, man.
That guy who got DK suspended gave a PRESS CONFERENCE and all I'm saying is he should've been punched more times and harder

A dominant Thunder team getting continually smacked by one specific squad is the best story in the league right now.

Would love to talk to your designers and figure out what was behind the decision to give KD and Bron like 20% more forehead w/ a coat of turtle wax.

We need to find the person responsible for suggesting that they put guidelines on the back of wrapping paper. Essential for lining up boxes *and* cutting straight. They changed the game w/ that one and have never given their proper due.

I’ve only lived in LA since 2017. Xmas Eve and Xmas forecasted to be a complete washout due to torrential rain has gotta be a first, right? Kind of a bummer.

It was an insult w/o him realizing it.
I've never been able to grow evenly connected facial hair. It sorta thins out above my upper lip. A friend was like "I've always been meaning to ask you...why do you always cut your mustache and beard like that?"
Please, sir. Don't do this to me.

Amazon delivery guy rang the bell and almost ruined the biggest Xmas gift for our kids. Luckily they're in an iPad-induced haze and didn't jump up and run to the door. I wonder if there's a "delivery person revealed that there's no Santa" clause in the refund policy.
(Heh. Santa clause.)

Friendly reminder that the Geneva Convention could be renamed to "a checklist of things Canada did while drunk on whiskey and maple syrup"
The whole country has always been known for its ability to not pull punches, for better or for worse.

Between boycotting Jim Beam into a 2026 shutdown to "accidentally" uploading the spiked 60 Minutes segment about CECOT to Global TV, Canadians are absolutely making some gangster moves as of late. I love it.

This piece has it all: corporate marketing ploys, unions, tariffs, Israel... here's a long, hard stare into why Starbucks is no longer as poppin' as it used to be. Good job @stefficao.bsky.social.
How Starbucks Came Undone
In the ’90s, it became a once-in-a-generation success. What happened?

In light of this news that Bari jumped in front of that Inside CECOT segment like a secret service agent taking a bullet, I need to resurface this banger…
Since CBS News is barreling head first down the drain, it would be really funny if the last bit of hard-hitting pre-Bari investigative journalism they did was how Guy Fieri was robbed of 24,000 bottles of Santo tequila in a high tech trucking scam. (This is legit fascinating.) youtu.be/gCNN5ePoYbo

First Jake Paul, now this? I was not aware was this was the designated weekend for M@G@ adjacent douchebags to get their sh*t rocked in boxing rings. And this is WORSE! 😂

Back in my day they called this a cultural reset.
Jake Paul coming to the ring to honor Hulk Hogan and then getting his jaw punched into his eyeballs by Anthony Joshua has to be one of the best moments in sports this year. Doubly so because I didn’t spend a dime on it.

With the exception of "Closer" (which is still kinda R&B forward), all of these are garbage. I still have my suspicions that it had to do w/ the popularity of the nightclub LIV in Miami at the time. Much like how artists were trying to make songs that could play in The Tunnel in the late '90s.
Not gonna hold you, I hate every single one of these songs lolol
Dark ages of R&B indeed.
Fucking Six Flag music
