Notice that right wingers never tout economic victories or policy. Hell, they barely seem to care about cutting spending anymore, though they certainly have laid off tens of thousands of federal employees.

All they care about is hollow, symbolic victories. They want to feel very important online.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

A threefold increase in electricity consumption in 5 years! Jesus Christ this brain rot is going to cost us dearly.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 1d

This is an alarming compression of the planetary destruction timeline: with the massive growth of the AI bubble, data centers are expected to consume up to 12% of total US electricity by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023.

If your benchmark for the Bills is making the playoffs, then yes they will be fine.

But the team that played the first six games might not make it past the wildcard round, let alone finally beat the Chiefs who are looking like world beaters right on schedule.

jane @lazylazyjane.bsky.social · 1d

my favorite thing is the folks who are like "CALM DOWN THEY'RE FINE" when the team is objectively not fine and lose in the playoffs every year.

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

The Bills falling out of contention just as their new grift stadium is finished would truly be the cherry on top of the whole situation.

It turns out that being completely incapable of identifying first round talent outside of Josh Allen might eventually come around to bite a GM in the ass.

Erica M @buffgrl.bsky.social · Sep 8

And don’t hate me for this but I don’t think Keon is going to do it for us.

Dan Fischer @roccityrep.bsky.social · Sep 8

Just came here to @jeremywhite.bsky.social was right all WR corps. Beane has done zero to find WRs that can separate in the last 2 season.

This sounds an awful lot like another Buffalo franchise that is wasting the prime of a marquee talent

“Hucklebuckets” @hucklebuckets.bsky.social · 1d

Beane fucked the roster. Whiffed on critical picks and committed to a vision of the defense that has never worked when it counted. They’re in actual trouble.

I miss the Daboll coached Bills offense.

These other OCs have been scrubs that Allen has made look much better than they are.

At least we have the Sab... *is sacked by the entire Bills defensive line*

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

I think we need to keep these jokers separated, the Sabres stink is starting to wear off on the Bills.

A similar age franchise to us that only recently won their first Cup, I can get behind that.

Yeah I forget about Winnipeg sometimes! Not a bad team.

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

Visually they are nice, I just can't get behind these teams that are about as old as my kid and have already won a playoff series. Feels like being born on third base.

I want to root for a franchise that's been through at least a *little* adversity lol.

Not a bad strategy. Would be nice to still have fond feelings attached to his jersey. I kind of liked Vancouver when Miller went there.

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

Idk this season feels different, the vibes aren't just off they are catatonic. I'm not sure we'll see the offensive explosions we saw in previous years.

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

Trying to decide on a secondary NHL team to root for. These are the ones I have the least negative or most fond feelings about:

-Detroit Red Wings
-Minnesota Wild
-Colorado Avalanche
-New Jersey Devils
-Nashville Preds
-St. Louis Blues

Who would you root for? (No recent expansion teams please)

Looking at the Sabres schedule ahead to see where they might get a win. Maybe October 28?

Yeah at a certain point the behind the scenes drama is way more entertaining than the on ice product

I don't know why but I'm kind of excited to see how bleak things get, there's no way Kevyn survives this season.
