What a great time for me to remind everyone about a favorite movie of mine: 1988's BLADES, which serves as a parody of JAWS, but rather than a shark in the water...it's a sentient lawnmower on a golf course. It's absurd and gets strangely cinematic at the end. I remain a loud champion of this film.

I hope men understand that it is very very rare for anyone who is not a woman’s lover, close friend, or relative to stand up for her when another man insults her in a room of other men. It is incredibly unusual. They may not join in the bullying, but they’re unwilling to step in to stop it.

you try to do football, you’re gonna make mistakes, commit penalties, turn the ball over. a lot of football guys fail to understand that football is the enemy. the game tries to tell you that itself by constantly injuring people. trying to do more of it? a fool’s errand.
