But this is a slice of media I wish we had more of… a non-x’s and o’s breakdown of their process and methodology.

YouTube video by Veritasium The Biggest Misconception in Football (ft. Tom Brady)

The Tom Brady wind convo from this weekend was actually an extension of work he did with a YouTube star.

It’s familiar, but just as impressive. His presence here is the “aura” I hope he brings to broadcasts, but rarely does.

(To note, I’m a bitter colts fan)

youtu.be/J3i3F2e4IYs?...

It def gets worse... and man, I hate to defend Boehner, but good lord, he has to be better than Gingrich, right?

He's certainly a better person than Hastert (who should rot in hell), but yeah, it's just a continual downslide.

internet is crazy

Jeffrey Epstein: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body."

yeah it's a good thing Landon didn't publish any of this shit. the Times might have had to bump an article about trans people.

My queen

I joke that nobody lets perfect be the enemy of good better than the left.

And my view of democracy doesn't align the idea of doing elective gerrymandering in my state (voting for temp redistricting)... it's better than complaining and doing nothing.

So yeah, to the imperfect fighters

It's such a masterful use of the song as soundtrack/character that changed the way I understood the song.... namely that the way the song opens is not the same as it is used in the film.

Listening to "Bell Bottoms" by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion... and honestly, it's taken 15 listens for me to appreciate it on its own merits because the way Edgar Wright remixed and recut it for the opening of "Baby Driver."

We also then agreed how we have started to do the same with photos in 2023/2024 , and that’s from the lack of dealing with daily chaos from Trump and his presidency by Truthsocial. In the same way I long for days pre-COVID, I now long for leadership without persistent disruption

Last night, I was talking to another parent who dealt with kids during COVID. I had a 2.5 year old and a 5 year old. One started kinder in fall of 2020.

I mentioned that I look at photos from pre 2020 with a different level of nostalgia, and he agreed. Parents still carry the stress of lockdown

I don't know how I would have survived that game if I was a Mariners fan.

So happy for their fanbase.

MLB playoffs are just the worst torture... and then the greatest joy.

I have no doubt Steven Miller was radicalized on /pol or sites like it.

Many emerging views and memes are from there (usual suspects, “globalist” (as a code for Jewish people) undercutting of slave history) are now mainstream - most notably by Jillian Michaels - should terrify us.

I grew up with and embraced the weird parts of the internet.

The only place I ever thought was dangerous was /pol on 4chan. Not because it was counter my views, but because it was speed running fash radicalization via bogus race science.

Our government is now run by /pol denizens.

My “David Shoemaker guesses the strained-pun headline” submission made this week’s episode of The Press Box; previously I had a submitted question selected. Need the “only in journalism” and “Twitter joke” to get my sports media pod listener EGOT.

If you’re not listening already, why not start now?

I’ve started to see whispers about Russia starting to collapse internally… like 91 style. Anyone have any good feeds or reporters (or the ability to disprove my notions)

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign.

This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

We’re in hell.

BUUUUTTTTTTT the headline on the page is heavenly.

Sadly, pinging @bryancurtis.bsky.social

I, personally, do not like that John Roberts treats precedent as meaningless when it comes to whether you have five votes on the shadow docket.

If he’s right, my touting of his reporting will make me a genius.

If he’s wrong? It’s probably all a grift and he’s just early.

screenshot of a tweet of mine from like 2013: "if you turn the k-state logo sideways it looks like a bird ventriloquist"

two replies from the same person: Go get a real job and leave Bill Snyder alone. You were born and raised in Louisville, Kentucut. Go fuck yourself You Bumpkin Fuck

whenever i watch k-state play i take a moment to remember one of the best online interactions i've ever had

YouTube video by Cancel Me, Daddy - Media & Politics Podcast We Debunked the New York Times Anti-Trans Podcast (ft. Sandy Allen)

Go and watch this, we worked really hard on it and it is good www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCrL...

Deporting U.S. citizens, National Guard troops as immigration judges. Just making fascism up on the fly now. And why not? Who is going to stop him?

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Sir, a third Bush term has hit the white house
