Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"

DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”

Pretty funny for a league that claims to be able to determine the validity of a catch falling out of bounds.

The easy answer is to automatically replay every tush push if the naked eye can't see it. Making a coach challenge wouldn't be fair.

Ian Rapoport @rapsheet.bsky.social · 7h

NFL executive Troy Vincent, at the league meeting, says the Tush Push continues to be tough to officiate. “At the end of the day, there is a team that still does it well.”

“From an officiating standpoint, we’re gonna try to get better when someone is in the neutral zone or leaves a little early.”

Summing up the problems with the modern Democratic Party in that the 2 most prominent choices for this seat are either an outsider Nazi-adjacent populist or an Establishment AIPAC-supported octogenarian

I’m kinda glad it was Springer. Mariners fans really turned me off by cheering when he was HBP

Azeez Al-Shayeer is a dirty, dirty player.

Dan Campbell heard that a teammate can't advance a fumble on 4th down and he heard 4th quarter. Only excuse for that challenge.

I'm a huge Baker Mayfield fan but don't care about the Bucs overall, so I think I'm impartial?

Steve @bsky.vitriol.net · 1d

I am baffled by this game. The Lions are clearly better, but it feels like the NFL keeps stepping in to manage the outcome. Even Aikman and Buck are in on the script.

Steve @bsky.vitriol.net · 1d

Also, I guess it's the Monday Night spotlight, but I don't remember Aikman and Buck carrying this much water for the league on Fox.

Steve @bsky.vitriol.net · 1d

This game is embarrassing for the NFL. The Lions are the better team tonight, they don't need all this orchestration in their favor.

Replay just destroys every sport. Let's have more commercials and a different variety of bad decisions.

Buccaneers are playing like a team that expects Baker to make something happen while they watch.

Steve @bsky.vitriol.net · 1d

NFL Bluesky has been glazing Todd Bowles and this Buccaneers defense all game but they can't tackle. Which is kinda important. #NFL

Steve @bsky.vitriol.net · 1d

The Buccaneers defense is playing like when I try to control the player in Madden. Just whiffing on the runner over and over.

Steve @bsky.vitriol.net · 1d

Baker needs to lead the defense in some Oklahoma drills. This is some flag football ass tackling.

I have no idea what this is about and I think that means my filters are set perfectly. Sent SASE and $20 to learn my secrets. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

today's bsky pile-on about the ACA is the perfect example of this dynamic

OK, hear me out. What if the Louvre heist was a decoy to distract us from the real heist, which is happening while the internet is down?

The treasury secretary told me traders keep selling off pesos so I asked how many pesos he has and he said he just goes to Milei and offers another 20 billion swap line afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding money to sellers and then those sellers started to laugh.
