Despite everything, I’m still me. And there ain’t no me but me. For better and worse.

Oh hey. Hi. How’s it going? I’m Sam. I don’t really know how other people think of me.

Jewish. Vegetarian. Genius. Dumabass. Austinite. Analyst. Critic. Coach. Fan of sports, comics, movies, Lego, and games.

My philosophy is that the entire point of society is to help others. That’s the ballgame.

The architects of the Spanish Inquisition thought Columbus was too cruel and extreme.

Andrew D Thaler @drandrewthaler.bsky.social · 20h

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

I wish my depressive episodes had more ✨sparkle✨ like I want a sad saxophone playing in the background of my internal monologues like an old school anime

Impossible to pick just one, but there’s something truly magical about Son Of A Bitch. Matt’s performance is a thing of beauty. youtu.be/4UoNB_yuQTc

lol, only 4 players got a 7+ raising on whoscored last night (Wolff 7.7, Stuver 7.3, Desler 7.1, BHI 7.0)

Really want to rewatch that match, I feel like there’s probably some interesting stuff to break down that is going overlooked due to the “nobody did anything effective” narrative

We’re only halfway through the 2025 CFB regular season, and it’s clear we’re headed to a full-on coaching carousel bloodletting.

Supposed institutions of “higher learning” have managed to negotiate themselves into paying $200 million to people who will no longer be working for them.

thank god the red zone channel started running commercials. when it was commercial-free i'd get to 7:30 p.m., look at how i'd spent my day, and realize i'd burned through an entire sunday without growing or developing at all as a consumer. and if i'm not a consumer i'm nothing at all

Idk bro it doesn’t seem that common when you have a chill fanbase and a competent stadium staff. In fact it’s very, very rare. Ask me how I know.

Some #AustinFC nuggets heading into tomorrow:

-Austin has scored first in the last 3 MLS matches vs. LAFC

-Ilie is 3-0 this year vs. his former MLS clubs. He has never lost against a former MLS employer (8-0-2t all comps).

-Austin is 5-1-1t against California teams (all comps) in 2025.

Weird Al.

I’m 100% serious.

Weird Al. The lyrical work he’s done *with other people’s music* is untouchable.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?
