So on this day when one of the oligarchs of our digitized and dystopic world is emptying one of America's greatest newsrooms of trained and committed journalists, I thought I would regale you all with a wonderful little anecdote about our world to come. It involves two of the finest...

So here is a dilemma: which version of the Delorean should I build? OG Part 1 or Flying Part 2?

Something hilarious about taking up running last year that I discussed with a couple of other runners during Gooner Gras: I won't sign up for a race if there isn't a medal. I don't need another t-shirt. Gimme my damn gold star!

About 24 hours out from having no internet. Money received so far has gone to bills and gas. Need to raise $200 to be for all current bills, including internet and get prescription next week. Please, please share and donate if able. I’m sorry and thank you! ♥️ #DisabilityCrowdfund #HelpFolksLive2026
So if you can help me, even if it is $5, please do. Pretty please. Even reskeets are helpful. I put my QR codes below. I am not receiving any disability, if I were I wouldn’t need the help. Thank you and I’m sorry again. 🥺😭 #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #PleaseHelp

This right here is theeeee thing preventing me and so many others from reporting out … oh, at least a dozen stories that I can think of offhand. Even folks who have managed to make a good living as solo outfits can’t afford to get lawyered at scale
individual newsletters also don’t have the infrastructure for the more investigative journalism that risks lawsuits so we lose that when we tell people essentially to start a blog instead of having a robust newsroom with resources!!!

Democracy didn't die in darkness. It got bought and sold in full view of the public.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

It's A Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n Roll)
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Setting aside the OG question, how do you not know who Bad Bunny is?

Not only has he been one of the biggest musical artists of the last decade. But OK, not your music and not in your language. Fine.

He's done SNL Twice.

He literally spent two years wrestling in the WWE! In their prime events!
Let's play.... which NFC Offensive Player said this? Any guesses?

But seriously...wtf is the "National News Desk"? And how can they stop telling the news to put on old-ass Kid Rock doing the song he ripped off Warren Zevon and the song he ripped off Metallica?

Genius Gen X tactic.
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Wonder what the tailgating will be like....
The NFL will play its first-ever regular season game in Paris, France in 2026.
The history-making game in France will take place at the Stade de France – the country's national stadium – with the New Orleans Saints named as one of the participating teams.

It's Transfer Deadline Day and, for once, it feels very anticlimactic.

Maybe it's growing up. Or maybe it's the state of the world. Or it could just be that with the financial power of the Premier League, it doesn't matter as much anymore. All talent will converge at the trough. No surprises left.
