Actually not sure how it got into the lexicon on Boers and Bernstein, but originally it was from Silence of the Lambs.

I’ll defer to @quadcitypat.bsky.social but I’m pretty sure “love yer suit” started with someone from the Bulls passing away and a particularly unique caller talked about how he wore a great suit to the funeral. Maybe Red Kerr’s service? That’s what I’ve got in my memory tho.

The Cubs really should have swept but for a dead bullpen, but the split shows they can still play with these incredibly lucky fucks, and their strategy of we don't hit homers we play small ball, is going get them smoked in the playoffs. Now go sweep the Marlins and the Brewers on the road

One of the twins is planning on going to his homecoming dance (they’re freshmen). Not only did my HS not have homecoming, but I have no experience with this kind of thing (their big brother never wanted to go to a dance). A whole new world…

Happy Labor Day weekend. Nothing we have was not earned by the blood and sweat of those who have gone before. Enjoy a 40 hour work week? Thank a union. Enjoy PTO? Thank a union. Enjoy safety standards? Thank a union. Enjoy weekends off? Thank a union. Organizing wins. Period.

Any candidate who accepts Musk's money will be repeatedly asked if they think it's a political liability to partner with an open bigot—blatantly racist, unambiguously sexist, egregiously antisemitic, you can pick one of many, many available examples—and if they'll give the money back, right? Right?
