I can immediately tell who in these comments knows who Matt Bruenig is and those who do not lol

God, thank you, I stared at that picture for like 5 minutes trying to put my finger on it and you nailed it

Frankly a little concerned, he’s bringing a driver to a pitch n putt course

It is insane how many people on the various Seattle sports social media communities and subreddits adore that fucking turd, he's a 50 year old who posts about sports in a way that would even be embarrassing coming from tween,,, and yet an army of ppl come to his defense if you criticize him

He deserves much worse but I am going to take a great pleasure in the knife Trump is going to stick in his back when he launches his 2028 campaign. He's going to call him something that will make Liddle Marco, Low Energy Jeb and Stone Cold Loser Rand Paul look like terms of endearment

Not even just that, the idea that some kindergarten teacher has a sinister view of Jewish people is fucking insane, to the average American outside of a few neighborhoods in Brooklyn Jews are just seen as another type of white person, only race scientist MAGA freaks even make a distinction

Oh man, the entire show is on YouTube, go watch it - imo it's their peak as a band, I love Bleed American and some of their later stuff but this captures them at the perfect point where they've already mastered their craft but are still young and hungry enough to play like the rent is due

This is the definitive version, imo - to quote a commenter: "He is playing the fuck outta that guitar and singing the shit outta that song"

Most ppl think he did it because maintaining the status quo would have led to another civil war but I personally think Juan Carlos just wanted to be invited to royal events, he didn't want to be stuck with all the weird French, German and Italian pretenders at the off brand weddings

@edsbs.bsky.social brought this up on an episode of the Shutdown Fullcast a couple years ago out of nowhere and he practically had tears in his eyes laughing about the fact that he was driving in a fucking Dodge Dart when this happened

I guarantee you it's because they all have the same breed of craven, amoral staffer in their ear telling them it'll cost 8 points in the polls if they say something that will make them look weak on immigration, and the preservation of their own power matters to them more than anything else

He's a scumbag and genuine moron (so bad at writing that he got fired from the NYT Opinion page, the easiest job on earth) but since he put his name on that Never Trump issue of the National Review in 2016 he's been one of the only conservatives who has had the spine to stand firm on that, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I like to believe it’s not a Freudian thing but I’m not really intimidated by dudes who are super jacked or really tall or whatever, but if you’ve got hands the size of oven mitts I am immediately deeply uneasy
