reintroduction: ten years ago I was a member of a crack commando unit, sentenced to prison for a crime we did not commit. we promptly escaped the maximum security stockade to the los angeles underground and now make our living as soldiers of fortune…

a rivalry trophy, called the brown/dorsett trophy, but you only win it by winning the game and having the most rushing yards, otherwise the other guy gets to keep it and there’s no official victor for that year

you might have the money to rent a human being but you ain’t got the money to pay off a courtier if someone wants your head or hands removed. good luck with that

Everyone I know who's moved to Dubai has done so because they love having servants--the chefs, housekeepers, drivers & nannies they could not afford in places with labor & human rights laws.

It's the upper middle class correlate to my theory that the ultra-rich really want to OWN other people.

how about you ghouls leave college alone and install a proper pyramid with promotion and relegation and development systems in the professional leagues and actually fix the problem, oh wait, that means rich owners could possibly lose money instead of the guaranteed profits of the current system

News: a U.S. Soccer-led committee proposes a shake-up of college soccer.

The recommended men's model would override current conferences, include an element of pro/rel, and extend the season fall-spring.

Spoke with Cindy Parlow Cone, JT Batson + others, and dove in @theathletic.com:

With college soccer ‘at risk,’ U.S. Soccer pushes for overhaul – but not without resistance

Promotion and relegation could be part of radical plans to overhaul American college soccer

no stack of filthy lucre or promise of access to ruling class power structures could get me to deny the immortal science of marxism/leninism but I guess I’m just built different (honorable, not a coward)

no, he was cool, now someone got in his ear to deny this and say josh hawley is cool. everything sucks

onefootinthegrave.bsky.social @onefootinthegrave.bsky.social · 10h

it’s good that he’s now denying this stuff? it’s good that it’s getting turned into chum for the stupidest people in the state in hopes of throwing the primary to another goddamn octogenarian? how is this good?

die another day isn’t great, but even it deserved better than that terrible madonna song, goldeneye is another almost perfect ratio, casino royale and “you know my name” are also up in the top quadrant, I could go on

I rate bond movies on the axes of the movie itself and the theme song, like license to kill might look like it cost five dollars to make, but that gladys knight theme goes hard. live and let die has the best ratio, the spy who loved me is up there. roger moore really got all the best songs

another fun fraternity story, we had a brother who loved bond so much that he learned how to play baccarat and then ended up fleecing a bunch of rich dudes at a casino in the caribbean

The poker scene totally works for me because it bolsters my pet theory that private gaming rooms exist to obscure the fact that rich people are terrible at cards

it’s hilarious how the commentariat was like “block list? no that’s a follow list” and then like two weeks later the devs were like “hey, we made this thing called starter packs”

onefootinthegrave.bsky.social @onefootinthegrave.bsky.social · 12h

the only time I got a massive influx of followers was right after the election when I wasn’t even reading or posting, just logging on to scream once or twice a day (that and getting on the college football blocklist lmao)
