I don’t care that the Dodger are good. I care they my friend who grew up a Yankee fan and who started cheering for the Dodgers in the past decade is going to have fun. And to be clear that makes me mad. Because sports fandom is bad for your soul.
I think the schadenfreude you are seeing from Utah fans at Whittingham is for emotional reasons — going to another school and leaving on awkward terms with Utah feeling at odds with his legacy — but I think it’s vindication by many who spent years arguing he was holding back Utah, and now see this.
@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social re: Kyle Whittingham. He left Utah and didn’t take Utah with him, because his legacy at Utah was 20 years of culture. When he left the culture stayed (why Scalley was the HCIW). He’s not a scheme guy. Whitt’s method needs time. ps: no faith in offense will not go away
me, super mad and serious, yelling at somebody for something important: “I’ll basically give you a couple more chances”
love to get reader emails
I don't think "bootlicker" covers the degree to which some people try to flatter those in power these days. There's some straight up bootsucking going on.
We wore out the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom VHS.
What is the movie that came out before you were born that you’ve watched the most times?
hopefully someone has been looking into this company for a month and has a compilation of the worst ai-mangled game recaps major universities have published ready to go for their newsletter tomorrow
Fucking hell man.
Where the mountains famously turned red if I recall
I thought it looked more like a beer commercial.
Just a friendly reminder that plague is prevalent, including in the western United States (see, prairie dogs), with multiple cases annually. It is also highly treatable and, yes, lab acquired infections (incl. fatal cases) have happened over the years, including e.g., UChicago.
I’d missed this: Annie Altman, Sam Altman’s sister who alleges in civil lawsuits that he sexually abused her repeatedly — starting when she was 3 years old — uploaded the first hour of her deposition to Instagram (and YouTube) this weekend. It has about 38k likes. www.instagram.com/reels/DeAx3h...

it is interesting that I can't find any mainstream media coverage of Altman's sister Annie going viral on social media over the weekend for uploading footage of the first hour of her deposition in her lawsuit against him (one of two) in which she is alleging years of CSA
Sam, follow up question: why should the public accept your chaos monster when they don’t accept *you*? We hate *you*. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Accept ‘bad things’ in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman

The way this image is cropped allows me to believe that tech LeBron has a head like Marc Andreessen
From @theathletic.com: LeBron James will make nearly four times as much promoting the Polymarket prediction market as he will from playing basketball. The deal may not break NBA rules, but it raises uncomfortable questions.
ads for Utah ski resorts should be crimes, there’s not going to be snow, maybe never again
88° on October 4th. I've had enough.
I’ll take them to this deli I know where all they serve are knuckle sandwiches
The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them. Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right
You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.
I am once again begging for the opportunity to be a CFB head coach whose fans want me fired or better yet dead
Sunday Thoughts: It feels like half of CFB is having an existential crisis. So many people want to fire their coach, even some with a good record and some with a new coach. Feels like we're in an unhealthy cycle and a weird place mentally. Almost nobody can sustain anything w/ so much change.
I’m worried Pete Hegseth isn’t going to drink himself to death until he’s impeached
PJ Fleck is unapologetically who he is and as far as I know not a scum bag so this gets a hell yeah from me
did you know: pj fleck can’t donate blood to the red cross because his veins only carry mountain dew
I got an herb and epsom salt bath soak at the farmers market today. I read the ingredients. This is a brine recipe. I’m becoming juicier as we speak.
Hey everyone remember the 2013-2018 Pac-12 that was really good top to bottom and anybody could beat anybody every week but nobody was good enough to win a really big game? I think that’s your current era SEC.
You probably think you know what cowbells sound like because of that Will Ferrell sketch and you’re so wrong
it sounds like someone dumping a million empty beer cans on the roof of your car for three hours straight
the best part about drums is its the easiest instrument to practice without equipment
Penn State isn’t a bad team right now they just need to find a head coach who fits their identity and can win 11-12 games a year like clockwork
I’ve always disliked Drake’s verse on Poetic Justice and it’s aged like, well
It's so annoying to like a song and HATE the guest feature. Now I gotta mute it when they come on. Like BITCH WHY IS YOU HERE?!?!
