the U.S. military should not be used as entertainment at college football games & I'm only surprised this didn't happen earlier. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/airman-dies-utsa-rappelling-incident/
One of my favorite blogs of all time
Of all the great baseball literature in history, no one—not WP Kinsella or Ring Lardner, Richard Ben Cramer nor Leigh Montville; neither Halberstam nor Harbach or Rogers Kahn and Angells—NO ONE has written a gem as good as this one by @joeposnanski.com & Mike Schur open.substack.com/pub/joeposna...
Most people don't know, but Ditka was annoyed at all the attention for the Super Bowl Shuffle, so he commissioned his own music video and VHS tape as well. The Iron Mike Dancers will also teach you how to do the "Touchdown Hustle" (yes, we had a copy of this) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENKW...
I have determined we owned this because the producer Ron Steele is my first cousin once removed and eventually he was just giving them away. chicagoreader.com/music/the-se...

Before Time Warner, Warner Bros. was owned by Kinney Services Inc, a holding corporation of funeral homes, parking lots, and industrial cleaning services. (They also bought DC Comics before they bought Warner, this is why Warner owns DC.)
Old enough to remember Warner Communications. Old enough to remember Time Warner. Old enough to remember AOL Time Warner. Old enough to remember WarnerMedia (AT&T), Old enough to remember Warner Bros Discovery… the Ellison acquision sucks but let’s not pretend Warner is some old school indie

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.
I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.
