Obviously this song is too old for this list but maybe the ultimate song of this for me is "Send Me on My Way." you know that song, whether you know it or not. It's just in the air. And seven nation army is very similar.

Has college football kind of killed Seven Nation Army for me? Yes. But it's a critical and totally unavoidable song of the last 25 years and it's in about the right spot.

But it is unquestionably iconic and this list would feel incomplete without it

We get emails that are basically lists of links to the intranet with summary blurbs. I skim the blurbs and probably click 25-50% of the links (but I'm less than 6 months at this company, that'll probably drop soon). Also our browser is forced to use our intranet page as the home/new tab page

If we're talking about sports I go to the Missouri Valley Conference, in any other context it would be San Fernando

Right, Italians were already white and spicy white. This seems to further downgrade those of us who were spicy white.

Putting us back in our place, if you will.

Absolutely. Nothing about his watch history says right anything, and yet he routinely gets recommended Jordan Petersen shit

Wait, is this the hack for how middle aged dudes can avoid the algorithm trying to shove them right? My husband has been looking for a solution for ages because his watch history isn't doing enough

If fairly compensating the people who do the actual work (or in this case create the source material) for your business would financially ruin it then you are running a scheme, not a business.

Especially for football, because you're flying 150ish people at absolute minimum

I work in ag. They're getting slightly less hard right in aggregate as folks die off and are sometimes replaced by younger folks who care about conservation and regenerative practices, but most of them voted for this and assumed they'd be bailed out of any actual consequences (just like in 2016!)

The dumbass in the white house told farmers there'd be a bailout this week and either he didn't listen or nobody told him that they couldn't send any money until the government reopened 😆

Me, not paying attention and looking at my phone: "it's weird for someone on TV to be calling Derek Jeter 'Captain' in 2025"

Oh. It's Alex Rodríguez. Fair enough.

I have several questions about the Capital One career day commercial and by far the most pressing is "why is the astronaut wearing what appears to be an EVA suit?"
