This is honestly just the worst about society. I hope history refuses to forgive us for allowing the Kardashians to become a thing or for youth sports to become a “lifestyle” for adults who peaked in high school. Say nothing of monetizing it all and putting it on TV. thespun.com/news/kim-kar...

thespun.comKim Kardashian Faces Backlash For Reality TV Show About Youth SportsIt was confirmed this week that Kim Kardashian is an executive producer for "Team Moms: Baseball."

Watched it every day after school as a kid. Nearly wore out the Mask of the Phantasm VHS too. Great writing, great cast, and just wonderful art direction.

Really feels like the goal at both espn and lsu is to hire the most unlikeable, unwatchable people.

Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing.bsky.social

Pat McAfee: "What has it been like, man?... You got sued by the [SEC], what, just two days ago..." Lane Kiffin: "I've really appreciated our friendship, and this week, your guidance with me... Between you and I, we're about the two most hated people there are."

Gonna start using the phrase “You need to clean that up” at work when people are acting up. That’s a keeper.

Patrick Monahan@pattymo.com

lol at even Judge absolutely nuking the crying Sox radio guy. This is his equivalent of a profanity-laced tirade

I knew five and honestly that’s probably five too many.

dame@dame.is

it’s that time of year again, Rolling Stone released their list of the top 25 content creators, which is actually a test of how old and out of touch you are… the lower your score, the more out of touch i’ve heard of 11 out of 25

The funniest part about the John Mayer is leaving/not leaving Dead & Co. discourse is the folks who think he was only doing it for the money.

Yea, because we have a highly effective vaccine coupled with a highly vaccinated population you absolute dope. He’s actively worked to undermine that for years and now we’re beginning to see the unfortunate fruits of his work.

RFK Jr defends measles: "In 10 years, there have been 3 measles deaths in America. There are now about 1.2 million deaths every year from food-induced illness. The media and certain demagogic politicians are constantly trying to scare us about infectious disease."

The funny thing is you can run around and tell people you’re an NFL wide receiver without scamming people. You can just do it for, like, funsies. Just to goof around.

Dolly Parton wrote amazing songs, treated people with kindness, and gave free books to kids. She was a true icon and will be dearly missed.

Once again, this all could’ve been at least somewhat mitigated had the NCAA acted in good faith years ago.

In college sports’ NIL era, "there’s no real rules" for agents. And some like it that way. nyti.ms/4x8q5Aq

I realize it’s been 10 yrs since IG did their rebrand, so there’s argument it’s time to at least consider a brand refresh. I just can’t shake the idea they do this every time they’re fighting PR turbulence as a company. First Threads, now IG, Facebook will probs be next. Feels like distraction.

The number of LinkedInfluencers tripping over each other to post their deepest take on Instagram’s refreshed workmark is both predictable and comical (derogatory).

The Boys of Summer - The Ataris 99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger

Todd in the Shadows@shadowtodd.bsky.social

Cover songs that are so perfectly suited to the band that it's nearly impossible to believe that they weren't the original artist "Goodbye Earl" - The Chicks "Stone Cold Crazy" - Metallica "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" - They Might Be Giants Add your own!

I think one of the greatest injustices is that Kevin O’Leary will never fully realize how much of absolute dork he is. All that money, still just a dork among the dorkiest.

Ann Monster Lipton@annmlipton.bsky.social

For your consideration: “If you live in the celebrity bubble, party after party, with the same people—the same 25 people—life gets really boring,” said Kevin O’Leary, the businessman and “Shark Tank” panelist. “When you end up with a private-equity guy, your life gets far more interesting.”

Everything EA makes is going to be worse than it already is.

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Finally watched Obsession. Inde Navarrette, give her all the flowers. All of them. She feasted Really interesting concept, well-written, but the rest of the cast is kind of flat. I think Barker gets better as a director, but someone in Hollywood needs to give Navarrette roles w/ even more depth.

For all the nonsense that occurred before the premiere of The Odyssey and all the nonsense post premiere, the funny thing is the person who probably cares the *least* about it all is Christopher Nolan.

It’s remarkably funny that Elon Musk sat down for an interview with a economics reporter where he was told a lot of people dislike him and after stammering about the best retort he could muster was essentially,”nah-uh, you are!”

Watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Really enjoyed it. Probably has some of the best Spider-Man action set pieces we've seen on film. There's a tonal shift, but it felt like the right one. It's a really fun summer flick and CBM. ✅ The Odyssey ✅ Spider-Man ☑️ Avengers: Doomsday ☑️ Dune Part III

On a different, but related note: I didn't feel as though they really defanged The Punisher/Frank Castle all that much for the film. I was afraid they would solely to keep it family-friendly, but really the only thing they held back were the f-bombs, not for lack of trying though.

Yea the model I created and didn’t actually air gap “escaped” and hacked my local food pantry’s Google sheet. Please give me billions.

I grew up near sleepy towns and return to them to visit my parents. I also know a little something about the Econ around data centers. So, I can tell you the benefits he’s asserting here are a complete lie. The fact he says it with a smirk is particularly galling having grown up those communities.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

Forever following the blueprint, chasing Jordan’s shadow. I said what I said.

The Athletic@theathletic.com

LeBron James and ESPN are closing in on an agreement for a behind-the-scenes documentary series that will be similar to Michael Jordan’s “The Last Dance,” according to industry sources. One of the sources described the talks as being at the “one-yard line.”

I think it’s funny that Meta lit $80 B on fire with the metaverse and BlackRock is like, “Sure, why not?” Between Nvidia/OpenAI yesterday and BlackRock/Meta today, we’ve reached the “parents co-signing loans for their kids” stage of AI/tech. www.reuters.com/technology/m...

Anything worth doing takes times. It takes struggle. It takes perseverance. It requires an argument with your lesser self that wants to give up and quit. It finds joy in process and effort and discovery in failure. And that’s why AI is dumb. It robs you of all this.

Dear HBO Max, There is not a scenario that exists where I want you to automatically advance to Bill Maher after Last Week Tonight ends. Not one scenario. Don’t do that. Ever.

“I get a lot of questions abou-“ No you don’t. You don’t get a lot of questions about anything. This is a dorky influencer trope.

There are many decisions we can point to as pivotal to the decline of social media, but chief among them is making engagement the metric that is rewarded by the algos.
