That's not how "kids" talk. That's not how "boys" talk. That's not how "gamers" talk. That is how fucking racists talk.

Ten dollars a month will not be the make or break for WBD or HBO Max or AEW or anyone, but there's absolutely no reason to expose myself to this.

A screenshot of the HBO Max subscription cancellation page. A poll asks "what made you decide to cancel?" My response: "Repeated offensive ICE recruitment ads during programming."

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

You're renting out a movie theater for you and your friends/family for three films. What are you choosing?

The only guy I can think of who feels similar to Alonso and didn't collapse immediately in his early 30s is Mark McGwire, who was a much better hitter at his peak and fell off a cliff instantly at 36 instead. Is there one that I'm missing?

I think you make that call at the next race. If the M's are leading or it's close, Humpy wins every time until the M's lose. If that game is a blowout loss, Humpy only wins in deciding games.

It’s a ‘26 Corolla Cross SE. Her name is Becky. Drives like my old car but a little zippier and more cargo room plus modern features like cruise control and backup camera.

It turns out this was just a coincidence and I just have poison ivy on my groin. Amazing.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I spent it (and more) buying the old laundry detergent. And itch relief.

If the Dolphins blow a 17-point lead to Carolina, is that it for McDaniel?

This is a great thread to read as someone who decided it's time to buy a car yesterday. I can't decide if I need to get in now before the shit hits the fan and prices explode or if I should wait until after the shit hits the fan and everything's fucked.

There's literally a subprime car loan crisis going on, two automotive finance companies went bankrupt in the last few weeks, been a rash of squeamish headlines about private equity and finance, high-interest buy now pay later schemes for GROCERIES and medical bills have become a massive industry

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

The first two names that come to mind are Mike Ditka (Hall of Fame as a player and coach) and Joe Torre (MVP and 50+ WAR as a player, plus the managing).

If you were to chart success as an athlete and success as a coach on two axes, which American athlete is the farthest up and to the right?

With his mullet and gut and general "guy who used to be great and is still trying to get there" energy, Kenny Omega is giving major Randy the Ram vibes right now.
