Bro let Walker run it in!!!

just saw a cottage cheese commercial that shows two teens eating cottage cheese while gaming. it’s possible that i’m out of touch with today’s youth but i don’t know about that one

@dannybkelly.bsky.social ok so, theoretically, how many games would Darnold need to lose (where it’s clear the offense is what is making them lose) to start Milroe?

lol at Bari's "broadly shit-kicking anti-establishment disposition." She's not fucking Stone Cold Steve Austin, she is the kid from your high school who's unsettlingly good at talking to other kid's parents. Her only demonstrable skill, a very valuable one, is that rich dummies find her amusing.

Statement from Alan Garber about ruling affirming "core principles of American higher education."

Statement tonight from Alan Garber, 31st president of Harvard.

Good for him. Good for Harvard. Good for standing up to defend "core values of American higher education."

And (again) what about all those "Harvard about to cave" stories?

Main point: Worth reading what Garber says.

The bust files: How NFL teams break young quarterbacks Finding a franchise quarterback remains job No. 1 for anyone in charge of an NFL roster, so why do they keep screwing it up?

"Organizations fail young QBs before young QBs fail organizations."

What led Kevin O'Connell to say this?

And why do so many around the NFL agree?

I spent 4 months asking Hall of Famers, No. 1 picks, busts, coaches + execs why teams keep breaking young QBs:

Israel hits Gaza hospital, killing at least 15 people, including journalists Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza on Monday killed at least 15 people, including three journalists, one of whom worked for Reuters, Palestinian health officials said.

One thing to note about this is that it was apparently a double-tap strike: Israel killed one journalist (among others) in the first strike, waited a few minutes, and then carried out a second strike that killed first-responders and other journalists. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Genuinely the greatest city on the planet. Was just asked to host a Q&A at noon tomorrow with some students where I will be given prosecco to drink through the whole talk.

I’m in New Orleans. Life is good.

Stripe crossed a line now.

Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone.

Also libraries and bookstores.

Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

Just imagine if *every* campaign behaved like this... helping the community as part of the campaign.

Even the losing campaigns would still be a benefit to the local community.

@nathanjrobinson.bsky.social Hey I’m coming to visit New Orleans next week. Can I do a photoshoot with you?

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

What do YOU know about eels?!

@wowthanks.bsky.social asked some Indy Hall members and also our buddy Clear, who works next door.

One thing's for certain: You need more eel facts.

Get 'em at EelFacts.Net

Hey g1 friends of the past, was there ever an online archive of all the old ScrewAttack SideScrollers podcasts? I found a link list, but obviously a ton of those are private now. There’s also a scattering of them on Archive, but nowhere centralized

What the launch version of Disco Elysium was missing was Tiktok video orientation and ads that interrupt the game every two minutes to show you formations of cartoon soldiers running down a straight road and the gardener whose wife is cheating on him or whatever

RSS is the *real internet*
It's what really enables podcasts to exist, not Spotify.

just went to immigration court in Lower Manhattan to see with my own eyes how masked and armed federal agents are apprehending people in the hallways as they walk out of their scheduled hearings.

back in the early 90s Scott Adams was clearly a somewhat bright guy who was deeply offended by the inhumanity of modern office life (i first learned that cubicles were designed to be too small to lie down in from one of his books). then he got fuck you money and went insane
