I beg people who use the phrase "a few bad apples" in this manner to recall the end of the saying about "one bad apple"

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Even putting aside the fact that AI can't do this and will never be able to do this

Who would *want* this? Who wants a bespoke personal TV show? That they can't meaningfully engage anyone else with? That no human had a hand in crafting? You might as well tell someone about a cool dream you had.

He's also a CEO coach by default. He wanted to call plays. He wanted to run the offense. He was bad at it.

I was literally just reading the Zach Berman thread on Twitter about the interaction 😂 And the fan was cleared!

I can't believe this just happened. A guy in an Eagles jersey being led by cops in the corridor in handcuffs looks over at us waiting outside the locker room and breaks into a smile of recognition.
"Hey, it's Zach Berman!"

Zach Berman &
@ZBerm

Appreciate all the readers, viewers, and listeners — wherever they end up spending the night.

Brooks Kubena
@BKubena

So, recap. The fan walked by and told Zach, "I love your work."
The cop asked, "Who's that?"
The fan: "It's Zach Berman!"

Zach Berman @ @ZBerm • 3d
Caught up with this fan today.
After the review of security footage, he was released because he didn't start the incident in question.
Glad he was cleared — and grateful for his taste in Eagles content...

BREAKING: The Sixers are bringing Hip Hop back for a few games this season, to celebrate the 2001 team.

Bill Roth, who played the mascot from 1998-2011, will come out of rabbit retirement, too.

(He'll try not to tear an ACL or achilles this time).

More here:

The Sixers’ mascot, Hip Hop, was retired in 2011. Now, for the 25th anniversary of the 2001 team, they’re bringing him back.

And that's not all. Bill Roth, the original mascot, is coming out of retirement as well.

It’s not 100% accurate but for the most part:

SNL musical performers who change the set: bad at life/music
