Abbott elementary has done a lot for the perception of the eagles. Whole lot of otherwise non-sports fans love them bc they made the Super Bowl with a hot QB at the same time as they were on Abbott elementary

PLEASE have SMU’s first regular season ACC loss be to Wake Forest on the CW 🙏🏾

Okay but he’s currently got a stacked team yet the golden child from the 🏈 royal family is playing very poorly and unless he turns Arch into an above average college QB, things in Texas will get very awkward going forward. It’s 2 more years of arch or “encourage” him to transfer…

Moved back to my hometown this year after 10 years and signed up for everything bc volunteering is a great way to meet people and one of those things happened to be being a poll worker! If you happen to be in Greenville County, SC:
1. They pay $135!!!
2. The online training is due Monday!

I can’t tell if the Platner defenders just have extremely low standards for the people in their lives or think politicians should be held to lower standards than most. Like I wouldn’t choose a doctor who had that tattoo & JUST covered it. Or trust a neighbor with it or a date or teacher or anyone.

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌 @chanda.blacksky.app · 2d

The thing that’s so striking about this stuff is that none of these people who believe Platner are concerned about the fact that believing him requires accepting that he’s fucking incompetent at doing politics and will be chewed up and spit out in Washington DC

So, Republicans can forgive the most lying corrupt overtly racist & sexist & greedy person ever. But Dems/progressives are willing to totally eliminate someone with a Nazi tattoo from Croatia at age 23 on someone who has NOT acted or preached neo-Nazi ideas that anyone can find. Dems are so screwed!

“Why did you eat THAT sandwich Mr. Packard!?!”

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 3d

How fast does polling actually happen? I would not be surprised if it’s still a while before the whole Nazi tattoo thing reaches enough of the population to impact polling

I don’t need them to investigate for legal purposes, I need them to investigate for the sake of the sports documentary in 30 years

Oh I’m sorry do YOU wanna fuck up the mafia’s parlay?

Cooper Flagg needs to shave. He looks like he’s about to tell me to “Look at this photograph”

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 4d

Almost that time @tyleriam.bsky.social

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 4d

I think they desperately want to make war cool again to Dems bc they don’t believe in a politics that finds it abhorrent and they found a guy in Platner they thought they could sell.

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 5d

As a panthers fan, looking at a chart from the top down instead of bottom up to find us feels amazing 🥲

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 5d

Also not admitting that it is a Nazi symbol has real “it was just an awkward gesture for ‘sending my heart out to you’” vibes. Would be way better (but still a disqualification in my book) if he went “oh wow I didn’t realize what it was but let me get it removed immediately”

having known some real dumb motherfuckers in my life, there are plenty of plausible explanations i would buy for having that tattoo — but i would not vote for any of those guys as my senator

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 5d

It is not wrong to expect near perfection from someone seeking to be in the top like 0.1% most powerful people in the world! You can be an upstanding member of your community and live a great life of service but getting a Nazi tattoo is a perfectly reasonable permanent disqualification from office.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 5d

all of these people would do well to learn something about “cheap” and “costly” grace. no one is saying that platner is irredeemable, but that some things are a bridge too far for someone seeking a public trust. if he feels truly contrite, he can work on himself and his community and try again.

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 5d

It’s so dumb that we have to deal with all of these politicians going like “people make mistakes” and it’s always a mistake that if I asked 1000 normal people, none will have ever committed

BUM CHILLUPS AKA SPENCER HALL @edsbs.bsky.social · 5d

I’m a case study of one, but frankly it’s very easy to get drunk in another country without getting a Nazi tattoo

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 6d

Would like to submit Derrick Brown for DPOY and MVP. One of the worst rush defenses ever last year with him injured and now the panthers are 4-3 thanks largely to keeping Bijan, Achane, Javonte, and Breece in hell

Looks like @domoniquefoxworth.bsky.social is staying in shape

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 7d

Looking it up, the most insane thing is that they apparently did it at 9:30am local time so people were just like…around lol

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 7d

It’s been said a ton but the ACC letting us listen in on all reviews is awesome and should become the standard

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 9d

The league needs to sit down with KOC and ask him just what it is he does to not just scheme for QBs with deficiencies (like McVay and Shanahan have shown an ability to do) but to somehow fix QBs and make them legit pro bowl caliber.

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 9d

Also Daniel Jones was getting shat on and that man won a playoff game with Isaiah Hodgins as his number 1 WR…tbh it’s what keeps me from wanting the panthers to move on from Young because we JUST got a WR who seems to know where the sideline is and (mostly) how to use his hands.

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 9d

I do think some of it is the rebirth of the running game simplifying things for QBs as well as just the fact that yeah…guys get better with time.
Also I’m not going into all the intricacies of contracts but the AAV of Dak is the same as Baker+king Henry+Kamara

Billy Gist @billygist.bsky.social · 9d

Crazy what a team with a real coach, Oline, and WRs can do for a QB
