You really have to have a touch of sado-masochism in you to even be a sports fan.
By definition only one team in the sport you're following is going to end up being the champion. The odds of your team being those guys are pretty slim.
What is wrong with us?

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

They're billing this ducks vs. kings game as a heated rivalry, and I keep snorting. Had to break down and explain gay hockey porn references to my husband so he could join me in laughing at the broadcasters

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Congress ordered Trump to release all the Epstein files ...
... and they just didn't.
And I guess that was that.

Ten years ago the idea that a president would punish a state...actually physically punish a state for not voting for him and having a governor who disagrees with him would have been unthinkable.
So would 30% of the population enthusiastically supporting it.

"Sandman Slim" "Aloha from Hell" & "Devil in the Dollhouse" -Richard Kadrey. Edgy humor & ballsy action is the point of this series. Setting & plot are largely optional. I skipped book 2 & it didn't matter. Funny as hell. Recommended as a tongue-in-cheek break from other reads. ⭐⭐⭐/5

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
