I never understood calling "lesser" championship rings "Mickey Mouse" rings because Mickey Mouse has dominated our cultural zeitgeist to a point where we make jokes about how The Mouse will control the universe in the near future.
Like, if there's a company that has won at capitalism, it's Disney.

I feel gutted for her, but this is ball knowledge.
The level of bitching when Goldman won because the progressive field split the vote was ridiculous.
At some point, you have to play the game if you want to win it.

Three years ago, our rising progressive movement came within 1.6% of victory in NY-10. We built a powerful grassroots movement that energized thousands of voters who were hungry for real progressive change on housing, healthcare, climate justice, and economic equality.

I feel had Stearns offered 4/$80ish, Diaz would be a Met.
He tried to play hardball with Diaz, wanted to game him like he did with Alonso, and in the end, Diaz was just over it. That LA came in with slightly better numbers and a better situation made his decision easy.

I don't particularly care what Josh Reddick or any of the Astros players have to say about 2017. Just enjoy your ill gotten spoils and shut the fuck up. Unless your insincerity involves renouncing that title and giving back your ring, your words are meaningless.

It's okay to not want to support Chick Fil A
It's not okay to harass and betate food delivery drivers for going to a Chick Fil A to do their jobs.

It's understated how fucked R's are if current voting trends hold, especially if their dummymanders are built upon the assumption that the rightward trends in the Latino vote holds.
Because holy shit you're going to be in for a bad time if that's what you're banking on.

That is not to mention that if China became the center of the world's migration, we're going to see a level of racism that would make Stephen Miller blush.
Yeah, China can take over the world with a fairly small fraction of US GDP, the problem is that people are talking as if China has a better standard of living than the US, which, like, lol.

Basketball analysts on TV are annoying. Basketball "influencers" are insufferably annoying.
Like, no shit LeBron's numbers are not going to be great in his age 41 season coming off an injury. But if you're going to hold that up as "he sucks" then I'm sorry, go touch grass.

I want to know what kind of next level gaslighting Rob Pelinka did to Nico Harrison for the Mavs not to have pried Austin Reaves from the Lakers in The Luka Trade.

NBA talking heads and NBA twitter spends most of their time and energy hating on everything about the modern game. You can't breathe without someone saying how [x] player/team would be destroyed in the 90's and how everything sucks.
Then they wonder why viewership is down.

I think the dumbest person today asked me why if I'm an LA Sports fan, am I not a fan of an LA College Football team?
...perhaps because I didn't *go* to USC or UCLA?
I feel like college sports fandom should probably follow your actual college attendance rather than any geographical ties.

Every year during the world series, you have to contend with a lot of bandwagon fans of those teams. A lot of them are great.
Some of them are just insufferable because they don't know jack shit, but pretend they're experts because they're too ashamed to admit they're bandwagon fans.

One underrated thing about why the rest of the world isn't taking up the US's position as the dominant power in the world is that many of the other powers are also incredibly racist and xenophobic.

The owner of the Dodgers is now in control of the Lakers, so if the NBA doesn't want Mark Walters to do with the Lakers what he's doing with the Dodgers, they better drop the god damn hammer on the Clippers.
Because Luka's league minimum contract with a $700M endorsement deal is gonna be funny.

Honestly, I think the plan was to hope that there weren't going to be enough votes.
Once it looked like there were, everyone went into self preservation mode (except for Higgins) and then the hope was that the Senate would bail them out.
Now I guess the hope is that the DoJ seals the files again?

Here's that video of Johnson shortly after he realized that Thune had no desire to amend the bill. The panic is absolutely wild

I wish MTG all the luck and success in her efforts to burn the MAGA coalition to the ground, but under no circumstance will I invite her to the cookout.
We can cheer her on in her destructive efforts against Republicans without thinking she's actually in our side.

This gets particularly funny in certain leftist circles in LA (Left NIMBYs) where they'll say shit like this...and then offer up US Hukou on steroids as their solution to the housing crisis.
Saw someone repost this but, folks, this is literally the liberal position. It doesn't get more liberal.

Zohran won because he had beliefs and was sincere in them.
You can *win* as a centrist. But you have to again actually *hold* those beliefs and be genuine in your belief that your policies will help people.
Sincerity can exist with centrism, but it doesn't exist in Mothership consulting.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

I fear progressives are going to learn the wrong things from Mamdani's campaign, and it's going to fester into a lot of angry people in 2026/2028 when the most unlikeable dipshits (but leftishly) try to run for office only to get BTFO because they see talking to the electorate as beneath them.
