I'm rereading the Hobbit for the first time in like 30 years, and I'd forgotten how Tolkien goes out of his way to fatshame this poor dwarf named Bombur at least once every chapter

Cannot repeat the Obama-era dodge of saying "we tortured some folks" and not holding accountable the torturers and especially the chain of command. You want to stop state-sanctioned crimes? Trials not words are the only way.

University of Austin Powers-ass fit

"You're not ready for how much the rest of the world hates Americans" I live here man I'm extremely used to the concept of hating Americans

Only kind of ball Sean Payton knows how to coach

I know some things are more important but I’m legitimately so fucking sick of the federal government posting like stormfront

I had the opportunity to eat a cheesesteak this afternoon before the game and passed on it in favor of a burger. Like the end zones used to say, It's On All Of Us

I would never say anything to besmirch my beloved cheese, but this just means that their hearts stopped working before their brains could, right?

On the left, Nick Sirianni looking stupid with the caption: "You" On the right, pixelated Kevin Stefanski with the caption: "The guy she told you not to worry about"

If the Eagles lose next weekend:

It's not that I'm rooting for Ken Mullen - I would never - but the greatest bits of any Mullendash are the rare instances where Mullen's joke is actually funny and everyone disregards it in favor of something sweatier or less coherent.

I know that they put the Amazon TNF broadcasts on a regular broadcast network if you're in one of the markets that's playing, not sure if that applies to the black friday game though

It’s almost time. nocontractnocoffee.org

My guess is the guy works at the league office and remembered very late in the day that the hairline he's insecure about might show up on TV a lot

This so much. I have been a model of restraint, because I knew warning him off would just make things worse

Winner advances to a series against the Moist Talkers on Sunday

I'm a Birds fan who had Rams +3.5. The emotional transition from cheering the block to realizing that he was about to score and ruin my bet was...abrupt

PCBR: I hate every car I see, from Model As to Nissan Zs
You'll never make a car guy out of meeee

also PCBR:

You know, there are more parallels between Kelly and Kotite than I would have assumed. Both inherited a good roster that was dominant on one side of the ball, both squeezed out two winning seasons before the wheels fell off in season 3, and both moved on to another org and bombed immediately

One of the underrated blessings of being a birds fan is that we have to go all the way back to Rich Kotite 30+ years ago before we start having this discussion. And even he was over .500 with Philly!

I still can't believe they named an airport after the guy who ruined American air travel. Like naming a hospital after cancer

Burbank. The secret escape hatch to get in and out of Los Angeles without dealing with the purgatory of LAX

The "peer" would kill me in a heartbeat if it could figure out means, opportunity and a half-decent alibi. The "meat car", if properly cared for, will be my close friend until one of us is dead. I have zero regrets about this choice.

a smiling cow from the Mario Kart World

my name is cow

A very sweet looking pit bull with big brown eyes and a pretty bow around her neck. She’s a splotched white brindle with a white face and speckled black nose. She’s perfect.

Yams is a well-behaved and active senior girl, and available for adoption for ZERO DOLLARS in Seattle. Please go get her before my heart shatters into a million pieces. (Link below)

people are getting disappeared, innocent men sent to foreign gulags, the civil service hollowed out, thousands left to die without foreign aid, and schumer is saber rattling about iran. these people make me fucking sick.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

Fuck, if I had listened forty seconds further into this riff, Holly made the same damn joke. Sorry, I promise I didn't steal your bit without realizing that I heard a woman do it first, I just paused the podcast too fast and got to posting.

Marcus Allen! clap-clap-clapclapclap. Thurman Thomas! clap-clap-clapclapclap. Ricky Williams! clap-clap-clapclapclap. (whispers) O.J. Simpson *applause stops*

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social Yes, the best RB names are four syllables, but they also work best when they scan with the OverRated chant. Walter Payton! clap-clap-clapclapclap. Barry Sanders! clap-clap-clapclapclap. Derrick Henry! Saquon Barkley! etc

That's the key distinction for sure. The only Canadian team left that nearly everyone would rally around the flag for is Winnipeg, I think. Edmonton and (especially) Toronto are too despised by fans of the other teams to gain support from anyone but the casuals, even In These Times.
