Every. Single. Time.

There are two reusable grocery bags lying flat on a kitchen floor. Each one has a cat sitting on it.

The Dispatch just raised my subscription by $5 a month (despite laying off another batch of hardworking journalists).

So I cancelled my Dispatch subscription and invested in The Disrespected.

This was a great column to begin my experience.

I've never bought an Assassin's Creed game.

The Griswolds are getting into Halloween this year.

A house at night with dozens of inflatable Halloween decorations in the front yard.

It's almost like it's not a formal organization but rather a general political position.

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

Oops, this is a friendly, not the World Cup. He's still fucking up the World Cup.

So, idiot Mike DeWine killed hemp-derived THC sales in Ohio for 90 days.

You can still order from Cycling Frog online, they're currently doing a 20% discount for Sober October.

The fascist dickhead in the Oval Office is ruining one of the biggest sporting events in the US in the past 30 years.

I've gotten confirmation of this - Argentina vs. Puerto Rico is being relocated OUT of Chicago due to ongoing upheaval caused by ICE, National Guard.

Albiceleste will stay in Leo Messi's backyard (metaphorically) for both of this month's matches

Tim Hotze @thotze.bsky.social · 1d

Mailbox: Event promoters say that the friendly between Argentina and Puerto Rico for Oct 13 has been moved to Ft. Lauderdale for 10/14

No notice on socials or website from promoters or AFA.

Tickets remain on sale at pretty astronomical prices on Ticketmaster's website

Remember that any rules about the Circle of Honor were made up by team ownership at some point and can be altered by team ownership.

Patrick Mahomes had a perfect hat trick tonight (passing TD, rushing TD, pick six). #ChiefsKingdom

Has nobody ever told Trevor Lawrence that it's a terrible idea to try to reach the ball over the pile into the end zone? That's like Football 101. #ChiefsKingdom

Well, if Nagbe's gonna hang 'em up, this #Crew96 team only has one choice about how to handle the playoffs:

a man says well then i guess there is only one thing left to do

Alt: a man says well then i guess there is only one thing left to do, win the whole fucking thing
