Just throwing this out into the void I guess

I make a sincere effort to never intentionally misgender someone, but we all make mistakes and if you notice me inadvertently misgendering anyone I would appreciate a little grace and the opportunity to correct myself

Swear to God I have this exact conversation with stepdad every week when Oklahoma is on the TV:

Stepdad: “hey, didn’t WSU have a guy named Mateer? Are they related?”

Me:(sigh) “He played for WSU last year and then he transferred. Same guy.”

I love John Mateer but yeah you’re gonna have some interceptions with him

I honestly don’t get why his entire Joker performance (both on-screen and behind the scenes) wasn’t a gigantic career hole for Jared Leto to crawl out of. Like if my accountant sent me a used condom I’d probably just go to H&R Block to do my taxes.

Proud of my Cougs today even though we didn’t come away with a win

we did not play like 33-pt dogs

Dan @knitdan.bsky.social · 13h

I don’t want to diminish what the Cougs are doing here but Ole Miss does not look like a top 5 team right now

Dan @knitdan.bsky.social · 13h

Cougs pass rush is the story of this game, we’ve been putting a tonkof pressure on the Ole Miss QB

Feels like Ole Miss can only get yards through the run

Sorry, is there a question here?

27 children died.

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

Texas youth camps say cost of implementing new safety requirements will force them to close

During a Friday state hearing, parents of July 4 flood victims said camps should prioritize the safety even if costs are high.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

US president’s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the app’s board

“There is a complex strategy the Dems could pull off right now that would topple the Trump regime or at least end its greatest excesses. I can’t prove its existence to you because I literally don’t know what this hypothetical method is and I demand the Democrats to come up with it for me, or else.”

I hope to god that Michael Ironside has, at least once in his life, used the most perfect dad joke where someone asks him, “is that your real name” and he responds, “no, my first name is actually Frederick”

This is basically magical thinking. It is the thought process of a small, frightened child who just wants mommy to make the pain stop and is getting angry that she can't.
The issue is that this is a grown adult, not a small child, and also when the Democrats do things it's never good enough.

But they brought on international superstar Jared Leto!

Everybody loves that guy!

He’s a huge draw!
