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.

Look, I’ll hold up my hands and admit I was wrong, I underestimated the power of Etsy witches.

Seeing a commissioner get booed in any sport is always heartwarming.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

Peggy Carter next to Steve Rogers in Captain America. I'll let you decide which is the founder and which is the girlfriend.

Weird Al.

I’m 100% serious.

He is to lyrics as Steph Curry is to 3s

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?

If they’re 1-4, then a guy on the bench is *exactly* what they want people talking about, they don’t want their real problems blasted on espn every morning

(Tho the s2 SotU is much, much better. In fact, Bartlet’s Third State Of The Union is probably my favorite episode of the show)

West Wing Molten Hot Take

The last 4 episodes of season 3 (Enemies Foreign And Domestic-Posse Comitatus) are better than the last 5 episodes of season 2 (17 People-Two Cathedrals)

In fact, I think s3 is slightly better as a whole. They’re both incredible, but still.

Best part of working at a bakery: the answer to “hey, is there an extra danish somewhere?” Is always yes.

Saying “in the parlance of the youth” to refer to internet lingo I don’t know is one of the funniest things I do on a regular basis, but no one seems to agree with me.

I saw a *really* fat raccoon in real life this morning, but I didn’t get video.
