years of having stadium security make a face at seeing a tampon through a clear bag, and this guy gets a cheese grater *and* a hunk of pecorino through

Tyler Wade/Taylor Ward-ass nightmare
Needs to be the Hawks OC. Partially because he'd do a good job but primarily because everyone would screw up his and Mike Macdonald's names all season, which would be great fun.
BREAKING: The Dolphins have fired head coach Mike McDaniel, per source.
McDaniel finishes with a 35-35 record in four seasons, including two playoff losses.

I promise I don't mean this in a scolding way, posting about non-horrible shit is totally fine, but seeing video of what happened in Minneapolis interspersed with posts confirming which prospects are going to the Marlins for Edward Cabrera is making me feel fucking insane.

“You can’t kill us all, Nazis” is particularly remarkable and moving because ICE agents could of course kill everyone literally there
ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

my general posting take is that some of the bad vibes you encounter do indicate a skill issue, but also, some of the bad vibes find you. don't set little traps for yourself by seeking out the bad vibes (something I've surely never done), but also, try not to contribute bad vibes to others.

It's really funny that they chose to pick a public fight with an astronaut. You're never beating an astronaut in a popularity contest.

It's so weird that we have a top color guy who's basically running one of the teams he covers but then again the NFL didn't seem to mind the Patriots getting around the salary cap with TB12 either.
