Something weird is happening. There's an electric feeling that starts in my stomach, travels up to my chest, and out into my arms. My toes are tingling, like my feet want to MOVE. The corners of my mouth are turned up involuntarily. I feel awake, VERY AWAKE.

Lingering trauma from years of on-again, off-again medication due to the complexities of insurance: even though I'm currently medicated for ADHD and thriving, I keep expecting it to be ripped away at any minute.

A personal thank you to Joe Flacco for joining the Bengals and securing me my first Fantasy win of the season, and he's not even in my lineup. Keep passing that pall to Chase and Brown.

Trivia picture round last night was about programming language.
Host tired telling us 4 was Swift but we all know it's Basic.

Fuck Butker
But also I'm taking this as a sign that God also hates Butker.

Trying to turn off my brain with LIB and this season is the WORST. Truly awful casting and I'm only on episode 4.

Like, I want to talk to the manager, bad.

Happy to report that I got engaged during my trip to Europe. I will now refer to Josh only as my ✨ financé ✨

I'd like to thank my bench for consistently outscoring my lineup week after week.

Okay but your alternative is it to be in the hands of a fascist government?

I'd like to apologize to Bengals fans everywhere. I think this is my fault for going with a Burrow/Chase stack. And for threatening to buy a Bengals jersey if Burrow helped me win my league this season.
I knew my fantasy season was screwed when Yahoo rated my team an A+

Upon further review of this game I would like to apply to be the head coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Someone explain to me why Jacksonville would call timeouts to help Bengals clock stop. Did they forget how much a touchdown is worth?

The play for the Chiefs this season should just be to keep everyone off of Mahomes and let him run the ball himself.

love to hit 'em with the

2 Corinthians 11:14-15: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve".

fun thought experiment for your FB friends right now

ask them to identify the line where someone's death is considered a loss for humanity versus a boon for humanity

watch them squirm

Damn you'd think Charlie Kirk is Archduke Franz Ferdinand the way even moderately left leaning news is reporting on this. Where was this condemnation when an actual seated politician was assassinated earlier this year?

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.
