Y’all wanna talk about baseball, college football, coffee, F1, woodworking, the Detroit Pistons, duke sports, Syria, or writing? Not the lions though they make me sad.
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts

Hi yes, Shaker Samman from the Los Angeles Dog Press. I say “good stretch.” Is that allowed, or do I need to amend

Rain is stopping soon, at least! So the game itself should be dry. Though the golf course will be disgusting for tailgaters

So when do we talk about last year’s OSU team going on a miracle heater à la UNC in 2022? This looked a lot like a Ryan Day team in a big game in every other season.
