The sight of Tyler Adams makes me irrationally angry. Of all the detestable USMNT figures—and there are many!—he’s the worst.

Anne Hidalgo is one of the most courageous mayors in history. They sued her. Said she was attacking Parisian heritage. Said she would make traffic worse.

And yet she persisted. She seized an opportunity and delivered.

The way I said “it’s on Netflix?!?” to someone last night was exactly this

Few movies feel more created for the foreign market more explicitly than these

That is a fact

A tifo displayed over the supporters section at BMO Field, home for Toronto FC. It shows former TFC star Jozy Altidore shushing and reads “Forever in our shadow”

Currently photoshopping this to make Jozy look like Vlad Jr while poor M’s fans grasp at “but he’s a catcher” shaped straws.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

My office just uncovered that, buried in their Fall Economic Statement, Ford’s Conservatives are quietly seizing control of Exhibition Place.

Mariners fans again playing kid sister to the Blue Jays, this time regurgitating circa 2021 MVP vote cope.

As per my previous skeet:

Wrong Thames!

Confident? Not sure what you mean. Anyway, here’s a two minute long oner of two people playing rock paper scissors to a draw.

this is beautiful. all timer tv show. as the article suggests it feels like we'll never get something made like this ever again.

My tongue is bloodied and bruised from all the biting I do when my fellow hockey/soccer parents say something like this about the most mundane, brainless task

Me and Miguel Rojas have at least one thing in common

One way of thinking about Twitter, especially in the Elon Musk era, is as the latest and most sophisticated version of the mailing lists that have powered the conservative movement, and the various scams and cons and schemes that constitute it, since the 1960s--in other words, as a huge and immediately accessible collection of suckers, waiting to have their avidity and paranoia exploited for cash. The predictions markets here are happy to play the same role with heavy X.com users as crypto scams and meme-stock hustlers did on the same site a few years ago, or as cash-for-gold ads did with Fox News viewers a decade before that, or as direct-mail get-rich-quick schemes did with Goldwater voters deep in prehistory.1 But the demand for dumb money created by the increasing annexation of our everyday social and cultural lives into casino-market hybrids like predictions markets (or, arguably, social media itself2) isn’t going to be satisfied solely by a pre-existing population of Birchite suckers. We talk a lot about the “male loneliness crisis” but in my estimation we don’t talk enough about the “male suckerfication crisis”: The process by which young men are continuously cultivated--by politicians, influencers, podcasters, sportscasters, and the very structure of social networks--as dupes and suckers, both for the enrichment and empowerment of Trumpist politicians and movements but also in service of the profits an ever-expanding roster of gambling and gambling-adjacent industries, among them app-enabled retail day-trading, crypto speculation, predictions markets, and of course, actual sports betting.

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

Preller is a maniac, he’s going to shove Ace King to any three bet.

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

Inshallah my absentee ballot for zohran is processed as quickly as the guy in the “George Soros wuz here” shirt promised

Thank you 😭

I agree that stacking relievers is a good plan. They really missed Yimi Garcia and could use all the high octane goons they can find.

Hoffman was pretty much untouchable for all of October (and September)

ELEVEN minutes? What the fuck

First five minutes had me reconsidering every choice I ever made in my life.

That Rojas threw a strike in that moment will follow me for the rest of my life

On the verge of the most valid crash out in professional sports history.

Oof

Holding back on Opinions but wishing, longing really, for a Dalton Varsho safety squeeze in the bottom of the ninth.
