i do the politics. poorly. i hope my sports posts don’t clog up your feed, but it’s one of my wheelhouses. PNW native >>>> somewhere in the south, but mid-set is my real residency.

a number of peoples’ lives would be better if they simply defaulted to the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

my god is baseball such an incredibly dumb and boring sport. can’t believe i spent most of my first 25 years in life playing it, attending games regularly, and studiously following it. at this point boat races are more entertaining. and no, it wasn’t the mariners that killed me. just the sport.

starting to get the sense that police look at ICE agents the same way that paramedics view EMTs, or maybe more appropriately, the way fire fighters view the latter.

i see the tankies are coming after Tom Nichols on the day after national donut day, and if you disagree with Tom that’s fine - i do myself plenty - if you’re trying to run him off the site because he has earnest takes, well that’s a you problem.

Sabalenka’s on court speech in defeat was all class and admirable. she obviously didn’t play anywhere near best tennis today - she should have left it at that in the presser. it seems clear her camp exerts too much pressure on her, but not an excuse to use Światek to fight phantom battles.

if Aaron Rodgers is gonna continue to “inside job 9/11” then i’m gonna call bullshit on his Ayahuasca retreats because most people who take heroic doses of psychedelics (recreationally or in a clinical setting) emerge from the experience by becoming less of an asshole than they were prior.

the free speech lawyers are likely correct here - i’ll leave that to the free speech experts. having gone down this rabbit hole i will say that the defendant is a grifter, and by all accounts not a good person. not a crime in this case, but also not deeds worthy of admiration.

wanted Edmonton to win every series of the Stanley Cup playoffs in four games. now starting to think i want this series to go seven. i don’t. but, i’m not so certain. this is hockey at its best.

good news is the more formidable team will play OKC, but the bad news is we were one more game away from seeing yet another Charles Barkley prognostication get debunked in real time.

in all my years watching grand tour cycling i’ve never seen anything like today’s climb of the Finestre at the Giro. Isaac Del Toro went full Dale Gribble by deciding the only thing better than winning the Giro d’Italia would be making sure Carapaz didn’t. so congrats on 2nd. you beat Hank Hill.

women next to me at the pub: SIR!!! SIR!!! what is that you’re drinking? [then proceeds to name 6 wrong beers] me: hazy pale now feisty woman screaming more: it’s not supposed to look like that! me: actually, it is. “SIR!!! when you’re done sipping your orange juice can you pass me a to-go cup?”
