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

Not at all! lol

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.

We have a very, very real shot to do this again.

Tennessee thought the same thing when they hired Dooley to coach the football team.

How’d that work out?

I think about this HST 9/11 column a lot. I’m 40. This country has been in almost continual state of armed conflict in West Asia for all but 15 of those 40 years (less, if you consider the Gulf War and other various military actions).

Our parents failed us.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Par for the course, tbh.

I’m sure as shit not going to take the word of a man who lies about nearly everything.

1984 isn’t a user’s guide for authoritarianism!

Not that he'll bat, but maybe Mmmbop for George Hansen?

U2-Beautiful Day for Lucas Day or (Beatles--Good Day Sunshine)

Daft Punk-Get Lucky for Jack Lux

Boston-More Than A Feeling for Boston Halloran

Starts a war in the middle of the night. Returns to posting unhinged and baseless conspiracy theories about stolen elections. Refuses to address the nation on the start of an unjust and unconstitutional war.

Cool, cool, cool.

A reminder that Pete Hegseth does not wash his hands after he uses the restroom because if he can’t see germs, they do not exist.

Hegseth all day every day.

Go Gators! 🥴🐊

There is no way in hell this man has any understanding of the Bay of Pigs. No historical context. No information. A near 100% chance he would conflate Bay of Pigs with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Well, that's terrifying.

Same! I was seeing purple splotches in my right eye, so I went to an optometrist and not an ophthalmologist. She took one look at my left eye and was like, "Umm, so, you're, uh, bleeding into your retina and you need to go to an ophthalmologist like immediately."

Scared the shit out of me.

Hahaha. Incredible. Did you basically have this reaction? Because this was me last night.

Ha! No, but that poor guy. That looked awful and very painful.

I had an eye stroke in 2020. Wildest damn thing. Spent way more of the next 3 years at the ophthalmologist than I anticipated.

Platner boosts antisemitic conspiracy theorist online

“Hey bitch, the goyim are waking the fuck up.”

“Tax the Jews” chants ring out at San Francisco event”

“Crispin Glover accused of battering woman he allegedly lured to California from the Uk after showing her his Nazi memorabilia.”

So, this wasn’t the greatest day to be Jewish in America, I have to say.

Oh, fun. One of the cases in The Pitt tonight is something that happened to me a few years ago.

One more thing about the WB news: it's critically important to help those (maybe your parents or grandparents) who have relied on CNN to ultimately wean them off once the sale goes through. Get them into a high-quality news environment. Like abandoning an unsafe home for better digs.

Enjoy the Oscars this year and next. It's likely the last time WB will ever truly compete with films deserving of major awards.

And of course, he's manspreading, because he has the social awareness of a termite.
