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.

What was the difference between that and what Tari Eason did to Vince Williams the other day?

if you read nothing else from rodger sherman in your entire life please read these paragraphs from the end of his newsletter, possibly the most important paragraphs anyone has ever written about Team USA

Having been through chemo, it takes a really long time to fully get out of your system and stop affecting your athletic abilities - way longer than Drs say

She is one of many female artists whose reputation suffers because of the internalized misogyny of our society

Definitely up there

Oh no after reading all of the answers I now have to go listen to all of their music through Strangers to Ourselves right this moment

So many good choices but I always come back to Cowboy Dan

This is Bruegger. He learned a highly advanced new trick, demonstrating excellent use of both free will and spatulas. 13/10 (TT: maddmaddmad)

I think they're saying it was his third season making the playoffs?

Why would I watch clips later? I don't need to subject my eyes to that

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Ugh. Him not meaning to hurt him doesn't magically make it better

It wasn't a basketball play. He didn't mean to hurt him, but that doesn't make it better. Intentions are irrelevant.

(and to be clear, I'm not even a jazz fan. I just think that sucked big time)

It's so egregious and unnecessary and nothing was called. It should be a suspension or something (but I know it wont be)

You can tell what kind of a person someone is by whether they return their cart or not. It's a small, quick thing that offers no real reward. Not returning your cart inconveniences workers & could really f up someone's day. Good ppl don't mind the lack of reward & do it to help others. Bad ppl don't

My favorite flav is flavor flav (or something like that)

I'm not sure it's really all that new. It's a bit more brazen than before, perhaps

IIRC, Pop tried that strategy for a while. Even he had to relent after a while

You have to go on @sportsgossipshow.bsky.social to discuss!

And here I thought McSweeneys posted satire

Because when you've had trouble breaking through in the playoffs, you turn to James Harden?

This is fantastic reasoning. I love the idea that your hat would protect you from crappy ass ceilings. Same energy as hiding under the desk to protect yourself from the a bomb

OK I get Celtics, but Bulls?

Oh I assumed they weren't working bc the warriors aren't scoring

It wasn't good for me, and I'm in my forties

While you're at it, there are a few others I can think of

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Remember, Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid potential conflicts of interest

Ohh that makes sense. I didn't even consider fake screenshots
