Seriously, though, the way papers write headlines is insanely broken and needs to torn out at the root and replaced in its entirety.

I miss this show SO much.

I can’t manage to get to sleep, so here’s Craig Ferguson, some Late Late Show staff, a few puppets, and @asavage.bsky.social & Jamie Hyneman dancing to “I’ll Stop The World & Melt With You”…

Drake’s lawsuit against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us" has been dismissed

"The Court concludes that the allegedly defamatory statements in ‘Not Like Us’ are nonactionable opinion, the motion to dismiss is granted”

Also surprised I hadn’t heard of Lombardi’s.

this exists it is called thinking

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

Along with a random Met, Yankee & the GOAT, without whom no list is complete, here are “some guys” who have had rules created for them in my 17+yr fantasy league.

From the Mark Appel Conundrum/ Odrisamer Despaigne Dilemma/Leonys Martin Corollary, to getting Jeff Mathis’d (IYKYK), my league rules!
