I saw this on the TV at the gym this morning and was pretty sure I was having a stroke. Bruce Pearl was an insane narcissist of a coach at UT and his leaving should’ve been celebrated by burning him in effigy.

Post your favorite Doctor Who, wrong answers only.

These 0430 wakeups to go run are no joke.

Music of the moment.

Rewatching, for the umpteenth time, what’s one of the best movies about America.

Ruin a book title by replacing one word with butthole: For Whom The Butthole Tolls

Wait until they find out about National Association of Proletarian Socialist Travelers (Eastern Region)

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

He’s not actually Zohran the Destroyer unless he defeats Wilt Chamberlain in single combat for the horn of Dagoth deeeeeeep cut for the 80’s kids

Here’s @evandorkin.bsky.social being totally in sync with how Hegseth is developing our force shaping requirements.

“He sat a long time and he thought about his life and how little of it he could ever have foreseen and he wondered for all his will and all his intent how much of it was his doing.” ― Cormac McCarthy,

Ladies and gentleworms, the Democratic Party:

In 2015 the Great Change occurred when all the CrossFit bros transmogrified into either Vape Bros or Bitcoin Bros In 2025, which lifestyle will define a generation? AI Bros seems to have all the momentum, hideous as it is. Is Warhammer powerless to fascinate men back to (relative) normalcy?

@screamerjim.bsky.social has got me on this kick for Lord of the Wire and I can’t stop

It still surprises me that people pay actual money for that shitty app- it has a dozen horrible features and abuses its customers like your stepdad

I’m begging you with tears in my eyes, run this as a 3-season red-band show on Max or similar. Even a 4-hour film is going to boil this epic down to bones.

Gonna put this on a sign and hang it on the porch
