In the future when people go to “2020s parties,” there’s going to be a lot of white guys in black shirts with a chain out over it.
Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

I enjoyed this fella’s performance in The Long Walk.

A friend of mine has had some shit luck in her love life for as long as I’ve known her but she’s recently started dating a guy who she cannot stop raving about (which is unusual for her). Fellas, be like that guy.
If the pattern holds, then Andy Green and the Mets are going to win the World Series next year.
If the league gets their proposed salary cap, the Padres would apparently have to *cut* payroll. Another AJ Preller mastercalss. (This was put together by Pirates fan @nickygsmustache over on the bad place)
Ah man, I’m worried for Matt Reeves.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 4w agoSteven Soderbergh is set to direct the remainder of ‘THE BATMAN: PART 2’. Him and Reeves will work together and remain in communication until filming has ended, with Reeves taking over post-production duties when ready. (Source: Deadline)
This fucker thinks we’re driving in Naples (he is splitting two lanes at a red light).
My (current) official stance on Craig Stammen is that every fanbase thinks their manager sucks so there’s a non-zero chance that good managers simply don’t exist. Just find a guy the players like playing for and ride it out until they stop listening to him or they start losing more than they win.
I think if Preller can still get the offers he was receiving at the deadline for Mason Miller in the offseason, he’ll probably need to take one of them.
I’d say that’s the official end of this team’s competitive window but I’ve said the same thing every year for the last three years, so who knows? But I look at tonight’s roster and I’m not sure how deep anybody expected them to go in the playoffs. Time to fire everyone and focus on the farm.
This series feels like a complete organizational failure for the Padres, which is actually really impressive: Preller putting out a bad playoff roster, Stammen’s inexperience getting exposed, the lights being brighter than the “stars” and the pumpkins all getting carved up. Oh well.
Am I allowed to post a picture I took of a random stranger if I took it because they look cool as fuck?
The plane wi-fi went out right after Miller gave up the double and by the time it came back on the Padres won. I missed all the suspense.
I hope we continue to get the good version of Manny throughout the playoffs. I miss having to begrudgingly respect his talent.
I unironically believe that Craig Stammen should win NL Manager of the Year.
I’m sure he doesn’t care, and neither should we, but since it looks like all the starters are getting tomorrow off, it’s kind of a bummer that Tatis ending his season with tonight’s game drops his fWAR below 5.5, his OPS below .830, and his wRC+ below 130.
Gotta make Mize wear it and throw 100 pitches tonight to give the bullpen a rest.
It’s nice to see Fernando showing some genuine personality in front of a mic.
It’s unfortunate that I’m pessimistic about the Padres’ chances of winning this series despite trying to be more optimistic about the team overall.
If the leads aren’t 13 years old then Eggers is a fraud and the Olde English will just be obnoxious (I will still watch it, though).

I don’t have anything against Feige, but Mahershala clearly does, and I respect his conviction in making sure everyone knows it.
