Nobody likes me Everybody hates me Think I’ll go eat worms

Cutch gets the Bucs on the board early 🙌

With the spigot turned on here in WPA and the river high, we’ve had to resort to “blue lining.” What a morning in the laurels… #flyfishing #catchandrelease #backthebrookie

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Andrew McClutchen 👏

“Please read my glowing profile of this dumbass who tells lies, stokes antisemitism, and commits crimes on the internet for less than minimum wage.” This is the golden age of dumbassery. Thank you very little for your contribution here, Stuart.

Im probably gonna get in trouble for doing this,but Im gonna do it anyways I keep seeing all y’all stealing my Raising Canes cutouts and taking me to cool places,,, DO IT! Whoever steals me and takes me on the best adventure this summer,, I’m gonna pick one of ya and take ya to Canes with me

Chuck is a national treasure

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

Oneil Cruz just hit this ball 122.9 mph. That is the hardest hit ball in the Statcast era.

God, that final Around the Horn panel. Tim, KB, Frank...some of the coolest humans I've ever met. And Jackie...went from being a personal hero (I was so intimidated by her!) to a pal; sent me one of the first gifts I received my son was born. She means so much to women in our industry.

it’s about dam time as huge removal project 10+ years in the making takes big step forward. via @abigailbottar.bsky.social:

On the final night of Pearl Jam tour in Pittsburgh, Eddie Vedder took time to respond to Trump’s attacks on Bruce Springsteen for speaking the truth 🔥

Going to start calling Sam Altman "Sloppenheimer"

I have lots in common with the new pope… American ✅ Catholic ✅ Other religions*✅ *Believing Mitch Trubisky will improve with experience.

where i wish i was instead of where i am

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

I love catching big trout. But small trout have a special place in my heart because they're often found in special places. These all came from really tiny creeks that required either a 4-6 mile hike to get to or a really steep canyon to get down. They don't have to be big to be beautiful. 🙂

This is the best advice. It is difficult to fly fish from a boat. As an (I thought) advanced caster, my first trip in a drift boat was a disaster. While we are happy to teach you and will take your money, you will not get the enjoyment and space to “be bad” on a boat. Book a guide and walk wade.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Had a tough day on the river guiding a father/son who were new to fly fishing. Fought high wind and high water. But they both caught their first fish on the fly! This made it all worth it…

Today’s PTFO guest, Tom House, is a guy the best quarterbacks and pitchers all know. He’s the world’s top throwing expert — and clients include Tom Brady, Greg Maddux, Drew Brees, Nolan Ryan, and on. But that’s just the start of why you should hear his incredible story ⤵️ youtu.be/3v677c0URIg?...

Went to Michigan and met some locals…

Conemaugh Water Gap

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me. Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

“We are currently clean on OpSec.”

"We are currently clean on op sec."

Finishing up Ian toll’s “Pacific Crucible” on the same day as the Atlantic story about the signal app fail was quite the juxtaposition of top military competence.

My lovely wife has made the critical error of showing our youngest (2.5-year-old Big Ace) pictures of the beach house we're vacationing at in June. He believes we are going to the beach NOW. I am hearing sobs of, "I want to go to the beach! I want to go to the beach!" from upstairs.

Just received a message from my buddy Stevie Dallas. He's a Scottish fly tyer, a pro sponsored one, and a really cool dude. I built him a net a few years ago and he stepped on it and it broke (top pics on left.) I built him a second to replace it. (He likes Grayling thus the carvings/reliefs.) 1/2

America’s first martyr. The notion that we are a multicultural nation is not a recent convention of the so-called culture war - it’s historically and demographically accurate, it’s a fact.
