UNC Tar Heels. Atlanta Braves. Miami Dolphins. Fantasy baseball. History, photography, literature, chess, math, music theory. Cats. I don’t like fascism.

There’s something endearing about the way Mary Peltola refers to parentheses as “parens.” I think I would vote for her just based on that if I lived somewhere kind of silly but badass like Alaska.

Kind of wild that you can see #1 Miami at home this weekend for $24 but you’d have to pay at least $80 in Chapel Hill next week or $755 at Notre Dame in 2 weeks.

I need a sitcom about these 2 guys. Alternatively, I feel like the first guy is MAGA finding out the unredacted Epstein Files are about to be released and the second guy is MAGA 2 minutes after opening them.

Holy crap. I just rediscovered this. This didn’t age well at all.

There’s also the less fun part of watching England, Mexico, and Argentina all seeing who can score the most goals against Cape Verde to help their goal differential.

I never thought I would pull against a USA soccer team but here we are. I hope Belgium hands them their ass tomorrow. I’d much rather lose honestly than win because of cheating and corruption.

Earlier I told my GF that Trump was going to the Knicks game and she had no idea what I was talking about. I said it means he’ll get booed the most ever, the network will try to hide it, but people in the arena will release the truth. And somehow the Knicks will lose because he’s Trump and #ETTD.

It’s amazing that I, someone who has almost no interest in hockey at all, can watch one game and understand a rule better than Mark Messier, one of the best players ever.

It just occurred to me that somewhere in the world there has to be a person who has only barely heard of Shohei Ohtani and thinks that his name is something like Joey Otani and that’s he a bad ass mfer from Brooklyn.

Pretty much. #taco #tacotuesday

My money’s on he pulls a TACO, maybe bombs a couple minor targets , declares that he taught Iran a lesson, and has forced them back to the table to negotiate and threatens them with another deadline two weeks from now.

There’s no actual way to defend against Duke if Cam Boozer can just get the ball 20 feet out, put his head down, dribble straight into anyone between him and the basket, shoving them out of the way, until the refs call a foul on one of the people he shoves.

I just had a notion to look up a box score for an old UNC NCAA tournament game and discovered that Jeff Fryer played 18 minutes against them in the game, shot 14 3’s and committed 4 fouls. A more quintessential YMCA league stat line I’ve never seen.

Find someone who loves you the way KenPom hates UNC. Kentucky (#15) and Kansas (#20), both with 3 losses, are ranked ahead of a 7-1 UNC team (#22) who beat both of them and whose only loss is to Michigan State (#10). 🤷‍♂️

The fun part about letting way more teams into the World Cup is a lot of unexpected countries are qualifying. The less fun part is this is the last time it will ever mean this much

If ever there were a need for a GIF of Marcia Brady saying, “Oh, give me a fucking break, Jan” it is now.

Trump: But they were with Epstein all the time. I wasn't. I wasn't at all.

I feel like the U.S. Olympic trials for curling is like if there were 2 bowling alleys in America and each one picked its best guys and they played each other every 4 years. That’s pretty accurate, yeah?

I’ve heard this idiot announcing the UNC-Stanford football game say a few times that Stanford is utterly dominating the game and UNC is lucky to still be in it. Stanford has 100 yards of offense at halftime. I’ve never heard a supposedly neutral announcer be this biased before. Embarrassing for him.

How embarrassing is it to be in body armor and have a guy throw a sandwich at you and then you go to court and lie about the sandwich exploding all over you and the jury laughs at you? How can a girl ever get wet in your presence again?

My first thought was “This crazy woman really thinks she’s important enough that someone would want to kill her?” and then I remembered she signed the Epstein petition and realized “Oh, yeah, maybe she’s getting calls from inside the house.”

And also this gem (also with comments disabled). Really odd to describe putting a guy with 99 stolen bases over the past 3 seasons on first base every time he comes up as “excluding him from play.”

This snowflake came up with the worst take in baseball take history and when the comments started turning against her she disabled comments and quote tweets instead of just deleting her stupid post. Wow.

And when I pointed out that the Dodgers issued the 2nd most intentional walks in baseball this season she replied with this but because she had cowardly disabled comments I couldn’t explain how ridiculous it is to say there aren’t consequences when you’re putting Ohtani on base every time you do it!

Some on the left are saying that House Republicans should do their jobs, but Adelita Grijalva was elected almost a month ago and hasn’t shown up for a single vote, so that kind of destroys their argument.

People, seriously, Colombia is the country Trump wants to declare war on. Not Columbia, the capital of South Carolina. I don’t think he wants war with them. Yet. Not Columbia, the university in New York. OK, he probably does want to declare war on them.

Crazy that the big divide between parties in America now is that one party thinks that rich adult males shouldn’t be raping underage girls and the other party thinks that people who have that opinion are terrorists.

Funny that the candidate in the NYC mayoral debate who speaks the best and most understandable English is the “socialist Muslim” Zohran Mamdani and not Andrew Cuomo or Curtis Sliwa who both sound like anchor babies.
