Today's dopamine hit.

If you distill every 90s poppy alt-rock teen rom-com headline song down to its purest essence you get this masterpiece.

Damn. Parenting really is just lying to your kids about everything, huh.
Telling the story to my 13yo: "I guess this is a good reminder that police officers are just people too." :)

That is what I'm going with. :)

I get all the discourse around the MLB MVP awards, but I genuinely don't care because they're made up. The guy on my team won. Yay. It's a vote-based award, so it's fake. If he wants respect, let him win the triple crown. That's the only individual thing that matters for a hitter.

The "manufacturing a trans panic for our Nazi buddies" nyt staff are taking a lot of strays meant for their "covering up sex crimes for our pedophile buddies" nyt staff and that's just not fair.

The beautiful game. How can you not be romantic about soccer?
Luis Rubiales was at his book launch for “Matar a Rubiales” when his own uncle — also named Luis Rubiales! — threw eggs at him. This sentence is all somehow completely true?

Social engineering works best on stupid entities with access. Used to just be managers/executives and subcontracted support staff.

Even without genetic info, we know that all self-proclaimed "tough guys" of all varieties from psychopathic dictators to super duty pickup drivers have micropenises.

This also applies to the Athletic, sports lovers, in case you forgot sports is politics.
Bumping this as a reminder NYT leans hard on revenue from their puzzles, games, Wirecutter etc to fund their billionaire apologist headlines, contrarian Op-Ed take havers, and iffy/yikes livetweeting style of journo
Alternatives to NY Times Games & Puzzles 🧵

If it bothers you that your passive games subscription and clicks to the NYT Games cartel is funding their awful OpEd army and "journalism," there are a wealth of puzzle/game options less iffy/yikes complicit, and many are direct clones to your NYT faves.

This isn't the famous national security center deep under the White House. Trump renamed the Lincoln bedroom for the chucklefuck from Jersey Shore.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

The Liberty Bell is the perfect symbol for Philly sports fans because it's most famous for being cracked.
The Liberty Bell. 🔔 

A symbol that unites us all. Resilient and Unbreakable.

It's award season for MLB and NWSL, so I'll repeat the only sane stance there is before everybody gets mad(der).

ANY AWARD THAT'S VOTED ON IS A POPULARITY CONTEST AND COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS EXCEPT IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, AND IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY.

Like yellow labs, they're cute but stupid.

Everybody knows you can't let economists go anywhere unsupervised. They can't function in anything even resembling the real world. Please remember that if you can't properly care for an economist, the responsible thing is to surrender it at the nearest business school.
I had no idea what this was about, thankfully, so I did a search and I love this travel site completely dunking on Smith for his... inability to follow basic signage. onemileatatime.com/news/economi...

You can tell he's a culture scrub because real ones know Rodimus was the best Prime.
in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

Dominic Turetto and John Wick rescue Bond in their rocket powered El Camino that's actually Rodimus Prime. They crash on a jungle Island and have to survive against a xenomorph-velociraptor hybrid with the help of Lara Croft. There. Fixed it.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Just dropping this here for no reason whatsoever.
"Sports gambling is more prevalent than ever, and more athletes are succumbing to addiction. We investigate on this episode of Outside the Li-" Oh wait, cancelled.

"Are there enough safeguards in online sports betting? Our panel discusses this week on The Sports Repor-" Oh wait, cancelled.

Huh
Sports media helped normalize this.

Not just by promoting gambling, but by failing to ask real questions.

What does it mean when joy in sports is replaced by odds?

Does "fan engagement" just mean keeping people watching bad games and keeping ratings up as cable collapses?

It's crazy that we all knew how the DC sandwich guy trial was going to go months before it happened.
You know they're going to seal the court records.

Prosecutor: Your honor, we intend to show that this was premeditated attempted 1st degree murder of a law enforcement officer.

Judge: Defendant threw a sandwich.

Prosecutor: A foot-long sandwich, your honor. It was toasted!

On the plus side thanks to the inefficiency of low level flying the flight cancellations won't result in any loss of greenhouse gas emissions.
Things are fine.

Yolo always said hockey success is all GM, no coach, but it's still a little amazing to see that ubermensch super genius Sullivan is getting the same performance out of the same guys as I'm just here for a check Gallant did.

Sigh. No. They're just mad he was gaslighting them, too. What she means is, "How dare you make white people suffer the way non-white people are supposed to suffer."
Are they finally catching on to his eternal grifting and gaslighting?

If we use a back-of-the-envelope average of a child weighing 100 pounds, gutting healthcare and strangling SNAP will likely accomplish their stated goal.
