That was probably the most fun I’ve had with Saints football since before the no call.

Cam Skattebo keeps a tub of fake jersey muck on the sideline to paint himself up with so he can cosplay as a Gritty Tough Guy

okay yes but also isn't this just what actual people say on facebook

Scott Greer tweets: "Some may say it's frivolous to care about Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime entertainment, but it matters for three reasons. 1) The Super Bowl is America's premier culture event. It reflects where mainstream culture is. 2) It shows the NFL willing to broadcast a middle finger to Red America in the form of an anti-Trump, anti-ICE, Spanish-only singer 3) An entire halftime show in Spanish is the clearest sign of America's Latin Americanization and an affront to our traditional culture."

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

Also here are some pics and love notes from the incredible

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

re hegseth, it is important to remember that despite all the truly awful things this admin does, the ratio of horrific to just hilarious and dumb is like 1/5000

this is the kind of thing that will happen to the Broncos when they make the AFC Championship Game under Sean Payton, only the opponent will score the game-winning TD on that play and a ref will trip a Bronco who could have made a tackle

New Orleans has had the fewest murders this year since 1970. Carjackings are down 80% relative to 2022, vehicle burglaries are down 70%, shootings are down 63%. This is a wholly unnecessary stunt that will hurt local businesses.

It’s like he briefly attained a level of sentience equal to a 7 year old

the Saints will have to make the QB change at some point tho. It is almost impossible to win football games when your QB only gets 4 or 5 yards per attempt and Rattler has done that almost exclusively in every game he has played.

He’s not “the problem” but also he kinda is.

if you do not appreciate such a performance you are a wealthy SEC oligarch

Saints are giving literally everything you can ask for from a mid-major against a power 2 team and I’m enjoying it a lot

Through five weeks of his first season at Southern Miss, Charles Huff already has as many FBS wins as Will Hall had in 2023 and 2024 combined.

every year the lsu tigers football program has but one job and so far this year they are failing miserably at it

Gonna have to teach everyone from scratch that the president isn't your boss, he's your employee

Happy bday!!! I forgot we're birthday buddies!

Style Is More than Sentences In defense of style and the infinite possibilities of storytelling

A defense of literary style, and why style is a lot more than just "pretty sentences"

MICHIEL COXCIE (1499-1592), CARTOONIST; WILLEM DE PANNEMAKER (ACTIVE 1535-1578), WEAVER Noah Builds the Ark "Story of Noah' series Brussels-Brabant, 1563-1566 Tapestry; gold, silver, silk and wool In 1556, Philip II acquired a set of tapestries that told the story of Noah. However, in 1559 the ship carrying them to Spain sank and only two hangings were saved, so the king ordered another set in 1562. It originally consisted of ten tapestries, only three of which are still extant: one shows God commanding Noah to build the ark, another depicts the disembarkation after the flood, and the third is this scene, where the biblical patriarch is giving his sons instructions on how to build the ark. For the borders, Philip II chose his coats of arms and a few animals alluding to the four elements silhouetted against a landscape in the background, whose painstaking details must have posed quite a technical challenge. This tapestry arrived in Madrid in 1566 and was displayed in emblematic settings like the Monastery of El Escorial.

spiritually and emotionally I am these lions from a 1500s painting

I remember this garbage. Shitting all over a suffering city only to have the Texas evacuation death machine make the New Orleans one look orderly and efficient by comparison.

If only lol

as a Catholic from New Orleans, I didn’t learn about the rapture until I was a teenager on the way to an academic event thing with these Mississippi Protestant kids and one started talking about it and I thought he was making some kind of weird awkward joke

southern miss legend Swayze Bozeman

for example USM isn’t GOOD per se but they’ll probably get into the bowl hunt and that’s an enormous one-year turnaround; but teams like the Campbell Lions take 3-4 years to fix and — even if things go reasonably well — the current Saints are years away from competing.

why did I say functional twice

any college program with a functional NIL system can flip its entire roster in a year, but NFL teams can only change so much at once; even more, NFL teams are way more limited by the lotto ticket-chance they’ll ever find better than a merely functional QB.

used to be rebuilding a college football team was supposed to be a multi-year slog while rebuilding an NFL team was supposed to be a quick process, but that seems reversed now.

So what you’re saying is when it comes to offense we must RETVRN

now excuse me while I ponder the significant of barack obama’s flawed response to 9/11

anyone read a good literary novel lately that’s wrestling with big ideas but leaves space for joy and humor and levity, too? The world is bad and also my friends are very funny, sometimes food is good, trees are stunning. I am hungry for this in books, too, not only unrelenting bleakness. Any recs?
