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.

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.

The No Fun League strikes again

I mean, Jerry Jones is awful for many, many reasons. No doubt

but there’s nothing wrong with talking trash. Competitive sports are zero-sum.

Don’t get me wrong, the changes would make people mad. But in the long run I think a perfectly coordinated, combined 365-day schedule for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS is doable. I really, honestly do.

foolishsamwise.bsky.social @foolishsamwise.bsky.social · 2d

My toxic trait is that I think that if I had enough time and was allowed to make a few systematic changes to league structures, I could in fact form a perfect schedule for all 5 Major North American sports leagues. I’m convinced it can be done.

At this point, I honestly think Lando is the 9th best driver on the grid. Rough order, the way I see it is Max, Leclerc, Russell, Oscar, Hamilton, Sainz, Alonso, Albon, Lando, Kimi

But Kimi and Hadjar are damn close, and Yuki would be too if he didn’t have the worst luck outside of Ferrari.

Statistically Backed Stereotypes for Each 40k Faction. Astounding. Motion for Deathwatch to be renamed to Hotwifewatch.

Text tong to fit - it's a list of subreddit memberships for each of the 40k factions. Here's a sample...

r/AdeptusCustodes: gundam (19.71), airforce (19.20), daytrading (16.56), sandersforpresident (9.82), centrist (6.93). Conclusion: Ex-military guys with schizophrenic politics.

r/AdeptusMechanicus: pathfinder_rpg (14.05), adhdmeme (7.27), dankleft (6.07), theowlhouse (5.88), kerbalspaceprogram (5.39). Conclusion: Current stereotypes are pretty much correct.

r/BloodAngels: preppers (15.98), airforce (15.74), menslib (9.04), asktrp (9.01), asktrumpsupporters (8.45). Conclusion: Black Templars got nothing on these guys.

Thanks man. It was a rough week.

(For the record, in terms of general mental health, I’m doing better than ever.)

…yaknow, if his pit stop hadn’t been so slow, Piastri would’ve beaten Lando, and maybe have been able to catch max.

McLaren is a decent team with bad strategy, inconsistent radio, a fast-but-mistake-prone pit crew, a top-5 driver, and a top-10 driver. But they have the fastest car so w/e I guess.

Picking up the tables and chairs we had set up outside for the party *while having to listen to the Nashville trophy celebration* was one of the worst feelings of my life. And ive got depression, so thats saying something.

Oh thank god

My number 1 fear at the start of the season was that decision day was going to be make or break.

No FO in the league is calm when they see Quakes Away coming up on the calendar, it’s a total chaos fixture, and this is the second time it’s been our DD match.
