48 years. That's how long trans women have been eligible to compete in tennis.

If I could just do a podcast about 19th century baseball weirdos and not have to produce, edit, or promote it, I would have started doing one years ago. But alas, I hate all that stuff and would die if I had to listen to my own voice for longer than five seconds. I do love guesting on podcast though

Every β€˜solution’ to the so-called β€˜masculinity crisis’ is just insisting women be sexually available to men.

Women are not the prize won at the end of a man’s quest for fulfillment.

There is a real crisis of femicide but that doesn’t coddle men, so it apparently doesn’t matter.

A scene from American Canto. Olivia Nuzzi tries to visit the WWE Hall of Fame, only to discover that it is not a physical building.

Killing shipwrecked survivors in the water is a quintessential war crime and one that resulted in the death penalty at Nuremberg. Hegseth is a murderer and war criminal as is every individual in the chain of command that this order traveled through. Punish every single one of them.

Everything about this situation makes sense once you realize her Mom failed at running for Mayor, and resigned from her city council, and pivoted to conservative talk radio/podcasting, converted to evangelical Christianity in 2022 and can be seen here posing with Michael Flynn lol

if you ask students to list the causes of the Irish famine and they just say β€œthe Irish are demonic” can you really not fail that kid?

This is the correct take. We're just seeing an oversaturation of Druski.

Also, Jeff Bridges needs to act more like The Dude and should be referred to only as The Dude.

I guess my only problem with the "strong floor, no ceiling" thing as a political slogan is it makes no sense, conveys no message, does not translate to anyone, and does not mean anything.

August 20, 2016. Gord Downy's final concert. CBC shelved the Olympics to broadcast the entire thing commercial free. The band comes back out for encore number two.

There was this one guy who was playing as some guy from Naruto and every time you thought you had him dead to rights, he'd just reveal that you'd been fighting a shadow clone the whole time and he pulled the trick so much that they had to make a rule about shadow clones, what a time to be alive

I mean Kobe traveled around this great nation shooting 36% for a 17-win team and being told how great he is, that's about the same

I hope this big fella, who stood up on a front row chair while double fisting drinks in order to get into the hard cam shot, is still kickin in the Detroit area and that he has enjoyed Dan Campbell's tenure as Lions head coach

An illustrated portrait of Paul Simon, best known for his work in the late 1950s as half the duo of Tom & Jerry. Simon also charted (#99) in 1962 with the hit β€œMotorcycle,” when he was in the legendary group Tico and the Triumphs. Whereabouts unknown.

Connie Marrero lived to 103. What we can glean from this is that the secret to a long life is to be a Cuban pitcher on the 1950s Washington Senators.
