Yeah, this URL shouldn't have been out there not being owned. All alone out there on the internet with nobody loving it.

To be fair about the discourse, I was in Chicago over the summer and a shirtless, bearded, bald man* aggressively yelled at my 7-year-old daughter.

My current football theory (both NFL and NCAA) is that all the teams are bad, actually.

A little over two minutes after I hit post, they give up a goal just to remind me not to get any real expectations.

Brent Brookhouse @pridefightingchampionships.com · 2d

It's only the second game and all, but the Blackhawks have looked pretty good. Not like I'm suggesting some miracle run or anything. They're just playing some pretty watchable hockey which is a nice step in the right direction.

Frank Wycheck Signature Bar (2000-2001): A milk chocolate bar loaded with caramel and peanuts released to honor then-Tennessee Titans' TE Frank Wycheck for throwing an illegal forward pass to end the AFC Wildcard playoff game against the Buffalo Bills

2 purple candy bar wrappers, each with an image of Titans TE Frank Wycheck running with a football, and his signature splayed across it, next to a flaming football. The bars are sitting on a ruffled satin sheet

Hey, man, it seems like it'd be totally fine to just point at people who are upset about fighting the Klan in a video game and saying, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Also, news, fiction, whatever. If you aren't doing a direct comparison of the before/after an editor touched it to understand WHY they did what they did, you're missing out on massive opportunity for growth.

What’s everyone’s favorite bill belichick memory at Carolina

Brent Brookhouse @pridefightingchampionships.com · 3d

Ok, I agree with that as a Balatro guy (and others). We are officially aligned!

Brent Brookhouse @pridefightingchampionships.com · 3d

I should also say that I'm pretty sure the only roguelike/lite I ever beat was Rogue Legacy. There's a lot of other stuff that I have really enjoyed and then I always fall off (Hades being one such game), so I'm not exactly the right guy to determine what is "right" on an approach

Disagree! I don't have enough time to get super good. Let me get better via time investment. Make me feel strong and good.

This, but a cake shake and an Italian beef (although I'll go down swinging that Portillo's burgers are arguably the best -- and least talked about -- thing on the menu)

Wait...wait...I read the Laymon novel a long ass time ago. I had no idea there was an unreleased SOV film adaptation that I could watch on YouTube. This is amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV_L...

This story is very weird because nobody reasonable thought this was going to be a box office smash. The point was for Dwayne to show he can do Real Dramatic Acting. Putting out the statement is a blunder because you're making it seem like a failure in an area where it was never going to be a success

Have to do a background check to, like, run the "are these eyeballs or peeled grapes" station at my kid's Halloween party.

Again, a megastupid game.

This is a genuinely terrible and stupid football game. Holy shit is this awful.

If it backfires it backfires. But unleash Josh and see what happens. This is an embarrassment, let the guy be the guy

I genuinely can't think of a single thing. If something is relevant, popular or whatever, I want to engage with it and see why and form my thoughts, even if it's decades old.

Well, except for the fact that I've stubbornly refused to watch the last ep of Breaking Bad but mostly to annoy friends.

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 6d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Especially something like a FACEMASK. If one of the crew says "there was a facemask" that's the end of the discussion.
