One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

the reason I hate Michael Kay is because during the 2020/21 Olympics, he went on a whole thing on his show about how Simone Biles withdrawing from some events was like "if you had to pinch hit Ronald Torreyes for A-Rod because A-Rod was too nervous," and that pissed me off because not only

i think we need to go harder on the "AI is for incompetent losers" messaging
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

we could only take Miami-ND H2H into account if they were ranked back to back, which we chose not to do
until now, because BYU got blown out in their championship game, so we had to penalize them
I'm hearing that Alabama also got blown out in their championship game, unfortunately I can't read

The only person that doesn't see a problem with the CFP weekly rankings shows is the CFP chairman.

Despite criticism, CFP chair Hunter Yurachek doesn't see need to change weekly ranking shows
The CFP committee could have avoided a lot of criticism Sunday if they did fewer weekly ranking shows, but he didn't seem to think that's an issue.

I'm watching Dream Academy and it's hilarious because they're like "we have a dozen girls in intense training for months but then I saw Manon one time and she doesn't really know how to dance or sing but look at her"

I can only attribute the Chicago Bears being 9-3 to them not wanting to embarrass themselves in front of Simone Biles?

I haven't been on the dating market in the better part of a decade but "what women want" is actually very simple
- don't be an aimless loser
- treat women like people and people kindly in general
a lot of women want to "build stable lives and families" with guys who are interesting and respectful

this is in fact a Good Ballot
My Hall of Fame ballot for 2026: Beltran, Pettitte, Rodriguez, Rollins, Utley. My pitch for why A-Rod is on there.
Why Alex Rodriguez Should Be In The National Baseball Hall Of Fame
Alex Rodriguez was on the greatest players in Major League history, but his star was dimmed because of the use of performance -enhancing drugs.

THANK YOU YES Bed Chem is the best song of the 2020s and this includes great songs by some of my favorite artists ever
sabrina carpenter not only made Bed Chem, one of the greatest songs of the 21st century, but she seems to also be a stand-up person who supports trans rights, immigrant rights, and puts her money where her mouth is.

don't eat me but this is why i truly don't understand why Taylor Swift hasn't said anything about anything, including him using her music. there are functionally zero real repercussions except for bought accounts on X getting mad, but she's been conspicuously more silent than Sabrina, Olivia, etc.
It's really a good glimpse into their Too Online mindset. The idiots on X eat it up but Sabrina Carpenter is significantly more popular than Trump and always will be. They're not winning that fight.
i personally think it's smart for a wildly unpopular administration to pick unnecessary and bizarre fights with beloved celebrities
