Comms and campaigns guy. Worked with a whole bunch of orgs and campaigns--some more fun than others. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe I'll figure it out one day. (he/him)

10 more wins and we’re cutting down all the nets.

If you allow this or bet on it, I’m going to assume you’re a sociopath.

And here’s the thing, if a nuke goes, you’re *never* getting your β€œwinnings,” because that will be that and you’ll be lucky to live.

You know, I bet he'd name Thatcher and then move onto tariff nonsense.

This has to be the dumbest player Atlanta has ever signed.

If you asked Trump to name 5 UK prime ministers, he'd name Churchill, stammer on for a bit, before pivoting to a rant about how the UK is screwing the US.

"It was my opinion."

He has no intel. He has no strategy. He has no plan. He is a know-nothing. He is no different from any opinionated asshole, even if that perspective lacks context, supporting evidence, etc.

This is what happens when you elect a president who's never read a book, or a newspaper or magazine article that wasn't about himself.

He has no idea how anything actually works.

Anti-intellectualism manifest.

At least Pam Bondi had that one shining moment where she got to say, "The Dow is at 50,000!"

The Trump ethos is to never admit wrongdoing or defeat. Democrats can (and should) repeatedly ask her if she'd like to admit she was wrong. She won't. Not today. Not tomorrow. Never.

Absolutely abhorrent behavior from the Rangers. None of this is complicated, and it's all an active choice. And, of course, Manfred says nothing because he doesn't want to piss off owners and the GOP-led govts they bilk for public $$ for stadiums.

They will start World War III in pursuit of a holy war.

Cool, cool, cool.

If you told me the administration was doing everything in its power to manifest End Times, I would believe you.

He’s rotting on the outside to match what’s left of the rot inside the husk that once held the bare minimum of a soul.

Removing historic documents out of DC and toting them around the country feels ominous as shit.

Owen Wilson wearing face paint looking wild eyed, drives a car.

Pretty sure that Eli Cash was listening to the new Sturgill album when he drove into the Tenenbaums' house.

If Grand Theft Auto VI doesn't let you spin this entire album while you're cruising around fake Florida doing dumb shit, then what even is the point of GTA VI?

Yes. This is it. This is the appropriate articulation of what Sturgill delivered. I couldn't figure it out (other than it absolutely kicks ass).

The one and only Sturgill Simpson dropped his new LP on YouTube last night, and if you need to boogie out some of the scaries, throw this on. (Lyrics are decidedly NSFW, so headphone that shit up, you dig?)

Gruv started their 3 for $39 sale for 4K discs today. Go ahead and get some of those WB films before Ellison buries them.

Really sad attempt to garner clicks for an Erick Erickson op-ed.

A post from a major city’s newspaper that makes no effort to establish that this an opinion rather than fact-based.

Sure seems like this feeble old man wants to sleepwalk the world into war.

I bumped into Olivier on campus last year, and it was the most comical shit I've seen. Just an absurdly tall human.

I still don't think I'm ready. We look fantastic, and I'm still too anxious to get to the tourney.

It’s the most wonderful and most stressful thing in sports.
