If I write a letter to the Abu Dhabi Convention and Visitors Bureau and promise I will never, ever experience their city -- do you suppose they'll stop showing me that goddamned commercial?

Watching sports on a streaming service will always suck until it's possible to flip channels during the commercials.
(I am about 90% convinced that "flipping channels is a pain in the ass" is one of the primary reasons the leagues all want to move to streaming.)

Nancy Mace: "You can see in the Epstein emails that he's clearly targeting President Trump as retribution for him being a good man ... he's a good man who protects women. That's what real men do."

If you ever have the opportunity, go see a game at Fordham's Rose Hill Gym.

Used to watch Grey's Anatomy with my wife. I'd joke that Dr. Bailey was a far more compelling character and the show should be named for her.
(This is one of the reasons I'm no longer invited to watch.)
Anyway - are we sure about the "Epstein" files?
Because Trump seems to be the real lead.

Taking my son to a college basketball game this afternoon: my school vs. his.
My school is Division I. His is Division III.
In theory mine should win by about 40.
Assuming it works out as expected, how much mockery is appropriate here?

The Coors Light "coldest" campaign might be the dumbest one ever.
Are we really still attempting to sell people on the idea that this beer is inherently colder than any other?
(Also: the Coors family founded the Heritage Foundation so fuck their terrible beer forever.)

Anybody ever use Vivid Seats?
This morning I bought two tickets for a college basketball game - tip-off is at 4pm.
Haven't received the tickets yet.
Is this how it usually works? You just have to wait and hope they get sent in time?

The framing of this by CNN implies she's talking about bad candidates, but she isn't. She's saying this country hates women. People say look at Mexico or Germany, they elected women. Yes. Because they, as a country, don't hate women nearly as much as we do. Fucked up shit. She's not lying.

Again, this is the same Alan Dershowitz that @newyorksun.bsky.social was featuring in their marketing as recently as last week.
Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Was explaining the “even a broken clock…” metaphor to my kid yesterday.
Of course he didn’t get it because he’s not used to clocks with hands.
Then he says, “so she’s right even though she’s still an asshole.”

Seems to me the most likely scenario is five or six of these dipshits trying to launch their own factions, no?
Do wonder if and when a Vance faction tries to convince the rest of the GOP to jettison Trump and stop the bleeding.
