"Insults" from the internet that apparently I'm supposed to take offense to:
- "Nice shirt."
- "You write about bobsledding."
- "Your favorite baseball team is a minor league team."
- "Your favorite football team is a CFL team."
All just statements of fact, really.

Before I was married I’d dated a gal who was really insistent that I wear my hat backwards. She wanted me to wear Tapout/Affliction shirts. She also wanted me to get a tribal tattoo despite me not belonging to a single tribe.
Anyway, I’m watching The League today and holy shit, this was almost me.

We're less than 50 days out from the Winter Olympics, which is super exciting!
(Yes, this is basically NGL but without cowards ruining it for everyone)

Is 2-person luge and skeleton a new thing? I don’t remember it from watching Winter Olympics as a kid.
Do the middle people in 4-person bob do other sports, like track and field, or are they all aspiring drivers or brakemen?

So I have a few places that I get them from: Hreski, ReadyGolf, Bad Birdie, and Sunday Swagger.
I really like Sunday Swagger's shirts the most, they're super breathable and flex nice. Hreski's shirts are a little stuffy, ReadyGolf's are a little cheaper feeling but they've got fun patterns!

I transitioned some menswear guy wouldn’t ever dunk on me I’m built different.
The fact the Menswear Guy is actively dunking on the Bsky user base now instead of just cross-posting the threads where he does that to Twitter users should terrify all of us.
true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

My Christmas story from today is that my husband, his cousin, and I were all talking about diesel trucks, and his cousin is a big fan of 6.7-liter Power Strokes.
His cousin is our age (read: old). He said “6-7” about 12 times in one minute, and the children turned to look at him like 🧐🧐🧐
