After 4 decades of watching baseball, I can confidently say there’s only one type of person who says “I don’t have the Yips” and that’s a person with the Yips.

It would be easier at this point to list what body parts Joel Embiid hasn’t injured.

A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

“This war — and, yes, it is a ‘war,’ with an expected loss of American blood, as Trump himself acknowledged from Mar-a-Lago — is illegal. Full stop,” writes columnist Will Bunch following strikes against Iran by the U.S. and Israel. www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.

Full statement from the band:

“Think it like as a bookend. Or maybe a nice pair of mittens. Or the way the question-mark works in Spanish.”

I’m 100% sure he thought this metaphor was clever and it makes absolutely no fucking sense.

Literally 10% of Twitter users are responsible for like 94% of the engaged content.

Holy hell Maxey

I think about the phrase “you can peacefully go fuck yourself” like, I dunno. 20 times a day?

There are STILL people who will swear Trey Lance is the Truth.

Nena wrote that shit in 1983 and here we fucking are.

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else

The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
When 99 red balloons go by

I know there’s plenty of folks who are telling us that this is nothing to worry about, they can’t actually etc etc. And maybe that’s right. I guess my thing is, given quotes like this, it’s probably useful to plan for the worst, and be pleasantly surprised?

Never fuck with a person who can use a Swiffer as a weapon.

If you’re a hammer, etc etc

lol remember “but I didn’t inhale”? Amazing.

“Revokes scientific finding” perfect. A perfect metaphor for what we’re forced to endure right now.

holy shit, that’s exactly what happened

mmmm no you don’t. I’ve never been asked for an ID on a train.

Oh yeah, everywhere

They tell on themselves pretty hard when they say “I don’t even know who Bad Bunny is”. Like, yeah man, that’s because you’re actually totally disconnected from mainstream culture.

So there’s this actual, tangible, evidence in language they understand better than any other ($) that they kind of suck, and what they stand for sucks. And MOST people don’t want it. And they lash out super-hard about it.

Like the people they hate the most, in culture, are almost impossibly successful. Almost impossibly popular. And the people they’re trying prop up, like Kid Rock, are hilariously…not.

I don’t have all the language yet, I’m still working on the logic. But I think the Right’s outward repudiation of the Bad Bunny show (in addition to all the racism and xenophobia) can be viewed in real capitalistic, economic terms.

Has anyone tried strapping him to a chair and making him watch MASH from beginning to end?

Who is the fucking “you” in this title?

this is the way

We’re there man

It would be so easy for people to have that kind of joy in their life. It’s all around us.

My olive branch to the Right on this Super Bowl Sunday is this: watching Kid Rock at halftime is like eating poison and hoping I’ll die from it. Don’t do this to yourself.

Update.
