If I see you insulting or being an asshole to someone to whom you are a rando jumping in their mentions, I'm blocking you just on principle.

We came here specifically to get away from losers like you and the whole Dunk Culture.
Let me tell you a story about a school that was the worst team in a major conference for 40 years and then came one win short of playing for a national championship...
What's the best thing you've read so far that explains why Indiana FB is able to kick so much ass this season, despite the Blue Chip theory and most other conventional wisdom saying they shouldn't?

here's an idea

why don't you contact those companies on Twitter and get a quick response to "why are you still on Twitter?"
Some of them literally don't have phone numbers or online chat at all, some you're waiting in a long queue on call for hours when Twitter response is rapid, and then you can actually send screenshots of the problems you're having with their apps, websites, orders, account login, etc

Listen, I am pretty fucking smart and the American public should not give a fuck about my opinion on many things because THERE ARE MANY THINGS ABOUT WHICH I AM NOT AN EXPERT

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.

I think part of the problem is that really dumb people view things like racism and mocking the poor and wanting to profit off others while doing nothing as "political" when they're actually personality traits.
My take today is the same as it was ten years ago when these stories started coming out.

Why on earth should someone’s politics/worldview NOT be a huge part of your evaluation of them?

It’s difficult to the think of something more appropriate to judge a person by!

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

I occasionally like to remind humanity that in 1984-85 there was a comedy on CBS called E/R which failed despite having in its cast Elliott Gould, Mary McDonnell, Conchata Ferrell, Lynne Moody, Karen Black, Jason Alexander, and some guy named George Clooney
Every part of this is embarrassingly lame.

Apropos of nothing, just an excuse for a little rant:

I'm not talking statistically, I'm talking realistically: that was not a touchdown pass. The quarterback's contribution to those six points was minimal. That was 99% the receiver balling out.

It's wild to me that I, a guy who used to be able to recognize the name of a relief pitcher who got called up to pitch 2/3 of an inning as his entire big league career, don't even recognize guys who've been around for half a decade now

White gravy.

Even if ketchup IS available, give me white gravy and we're gucci.
ketchup isn’t available, what are you putting on your fries?

Noting the mention of an SB Nation writer in attendance, I'll just note that a lot of us can't get credentialed at the schools we cover, so we can't get to the post-game availability.

That doesn't excuse the AP or the local TV people, though.
