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.

Our cover this week.

"For Career Grand Slam" was diabolical

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

My only complaint with The White Lotus is we can’t watch it at 10x speed to get it over with.

Duke back as the Kings of the ACC 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

The guy that will literally never drive anything other than a golf cart for the rest of his life, buying a car to advertise for the richest man in the world, whose stocks have been spiraling of late… to help the American people? Perfection.

What sound does a car make? The car goes “vroom vroom”!

Kids today will never know what it was like to grow up with veteran sports reporters from major sports cities waxing poetic about sports, which in turn made us “sports fans” of them. Around The Horn, THAT was our Twitter, and so many new voices were introduced to us over the years. Revolutionary.

One of the greatest song lyrics ever written, only fitting for Paul McCartney to close out #SNL50 with it. As Chris Farley once said, that was awesome.

I still think that Greg McElroy saying Notre Dame SHOULDN’T try to SCORE A TOUCHDOWN if possible with 29 seconds left might be the most preposterous take in football history. #OrangeBowl

Imagine being out at the bar with your buddies watching one of the NFL Wild Card teams getting its doors beaten off and loudly proclaiming THEY DON’T DESERVE TO BE HERE OVER 7-9 CINCINNATI!!! You wouldn’t, but if you did, your buddies would rightly call you an idiot. That’s Indiana tonight.

I’ve gotta give Joey Galloway a lot of credit, this is honestly one of the dumbest things ever said in the realm of the College Football Playoff.

GAMES

MATTER.

Christ, and I can’t stress this enough, Almighty.

Millennials have had a rough relationship with Mike Tyson. We know him for biting a dude’s ear off, punching a dude in The Hangover, and now there’s whatever that was with Jake Paul. #TysonPaul

Again, all credit to Mike Tyson for taking the bag, god only knows how much money he lost during his career and after it. But what a perfect encapsulation of where our country is lol. The grifters get everyone to believe, don’t deliver, and still take all the money. #TysonPaul

Mike Tyson did more damage to his glove tonight than Jake Paul lol. Kudos to getting the bag from Gen Z though, eat it with salsa Don King. #TysonPaul

Can’t wait to tell my kids one day I saw Mike Tyson….’s butt.

Thousands of kids asking their parents tonight why the Mike Tyson highlights are so blurry and old looking, then parents having to explain what “standard definition” television was.

Excited for the .gifs options to continue to expand as more and more people get #onhere but also wouldn’t mind if we only had OG options from the early 2010s

Obligatory first post being of my #dog and newborn child:

This must be what it felt like to be on The Facebook.
