Like a lot of things, the idea of replay (prevent outrageously incorrect calls) has given way to the actual practice of replay (litigating pixels and rulebook legalese) which enshittifies sports.
I would totally abolish all instant replay reviews if it were up to me but also this how-many-angels-can-dance-on-a-pin shit about losing possession or failing a catch because you bobbled the ball for a fraction of a second is absurd bsky.app/profile/joel...
If you want to have a conversation about no longer reviewing every score that's valid

What you can't do is review it and then decide after the fact that what you clearly saw on review wasn't real

I'm sorry but the idea that Jeremiah Smith touchdown in OSU-Michigan should've been overturned on instant replay is a reflection of the decline of our society's crumbling moral standards.

A no-question touchdown for 100 years and only questioned because of slow-motion frame fucking.

I realized the main thing that makes college football better than the NFL. It’s the weird quarterbacks. They don’t let weird little guys or fat guys or guys who can’t throw play QB in the NFL and that’s boring.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

describing struggling people who need help as "playing video games all day"—all while giving $38 billion in gov contracts to elon musk to *literally* play video games all day—is vile on every possible level. failed state behavior
Mike Johnson on Medicaid: "What we've talked about is returning work requirements ... you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day. We have a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid."
