A psychotic who stalks my girlfriend has recently begun stalking my social media, so this post is a hello to him. Hi, guy, enjoy your time. Just know that when you and I share space together, your first Kung Fu lesson will be free.
Jake Paul can still win this boxing match against Anthony Joshua if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

Everyone you know who thinks they understand the CBS editorial process also believes that there is a tape of a hooker peeing on Donald Trump and that Andrew Tate was arrested because of a pizza.
Just keep that in mind.

The sales lady at GAP told me that I am officially old enough and a father, so I am allowed to wear cargo pants, and I'm thrilled. Permission to frump, so to speak, is amazing.

My sincere hope is that in the same way it has almost become a tradition for rappers to beat up Drake, it becomes a tradition for boxers to beat up Jake Paul. Heal fast, Jake.

Someone should ask the Vice President if his children are “Heritage Americans.”
JD Vance tells Nick Fuentes to "eat shit" for insulting his wife and says the Groypers provide a useful foil for pro-Israel hard-liners who don't want a real Israel debate.

I get served a lot of content that seems designed to make me hate black women. I grew up in Houston, and I play jazz music and box amateur as hobbies. I am around black women all the time, mostly, poor and working class ones. I don’t see anything from the memes in the people I know.

I have had a Netflix account since 2004, twenty-one years. This still photograph justifies every penny I have paid them over the years.

What’s really funny about this fight is that AJ could not conceal his contempt and how obvious it was that he was paid to let Jake Paul last at least four rounds. Come the fifth, however, it was over. Out came the Sky Sabres, down went the influencer.

Without a 3 Knockdown rule, Paul can go down like this as many times as he wants, and take an 8 each time, running out the clock. Disgusting.

Jake Paul is so loathsome a human being that I, an American, and Indian, at that, am cheering for his defeat at the hands of a Briton, Anthony Joshua.

Jake Paul is not a “disruptor.” He is a media brand impersonating a boxer for attention, and an illiterate society that rewards outlandish behaviour has made him rich enough to go through this farce and make others play along. Mike Tyson was a disruptor.

This Baum fight is a great example of why three minute rounds for women is controversial. Even a contender of Beaudoin’s accomplishments is being defeated by the clock.

Baum gave up a title to get three minute rounds for women. This sport has changed so much over my life, I remember when women boxing was a joke for comedians like Dice. What an amazing thing to see.

Second round knockdown and fight call for Silva. Unbelievable skill and power on this guy, it’s impossible to dislike him. One can only hope the years continue to be kind to him.

Anthony Joshua is perhaps the best evidence of the superiority of Nigeria’s jollof rice.

Nate Silver keeps coming with funny ways to describe the small-tent, purity politics approach he thinks fails, only to be met with denials that it exists, in the most hysterical ways possible, that prove his point. The newest way, making fun of people who read Heather Cox Richardson, is the same.

Retraining my brain to associate the smell of hospitals with renewal and life rather than illness and death. This is difficult, though it should be easy.
