If I were to sum up the biggest problem Democrats have, it’s that people who aren’t political and don’t closely follow politics, when asked what they think about hot button issues, recite Republican talking points verbatim.

Nothing gets better until we find a way to stop that.

It's also funny that at the very end of the movie Sly's recommendation is that the nanny state and the underground libertarians meet halfway to rebuild, which means after all of the insane shit that just transpired he endorses normie liberalism as the way forward.

That means he saw a corpse then immediately put on a suit that made him look like a Batman villain

They also have glass chins!

Hey that’s not entirely true! They can absolutely run the crap out of the ball! (before promptly fumbling)

Yes. He also wrote a song for Canada.

They’re only capable of suspicion, disgust, and greed, all of which are entirely driven by impulse.

Use those powers sparingly and only for good.

Most of those guys are dull because being a great athlete and having great charisma are both rare traits! You’re usually lucky to be blessed with just one.

Dan Frankensteiner @offtheupright.bsky.social · 21h

I dunno man. He has considerably more personality than the average athlete, even if there are more charismatic athletes out there. It’s cool when different skill sets overlap but we shouldn’t expect it! Like being the greatest basketball player ever plus occasionally being funny should be enough!

Originally read this as “Rep. Joe Flacco” and now can’t help but wonder how close we are to active athletes serving in Congress. Manny Pacquiao-style.

“Set it and forget it” was a popular infomercial catch phrase for a reason!

And not understanding they’re going to get absolutely nothing for doing so. They’re alienating their own readers and not going to win over a single new MAGA person.

It is so incredibly weird and scary and disheartening to watch the world's most powerful nation being systematically dismantled and pilfered by a gang of ego-thugs led by a painted carnival barker who is literally famous for being a greedy crooked cheat.

They weren’t per se ground zero for it, it had been percolating for a while in the gutters of the right-wing internet, but they tried to put a fair-sounding, reasonable face on it (and promptly got their shit wrecked by someone who knew what he was talking about)

That one guy who played college ball in Saskatchewan and everyone in the US thought he was saying "University of Vagina" and were stunned that they just let him say that
