Remember when Trump announced tariffs right when Nintendo was announcing the Switch 2, and the delayed preorders were one of the first big tangible consumer-facing effects of letting a known dipshit make up random rules about international trade? Well, if you fuck around with Nintendo...

I hope so because I’ll be pissed if our β€œmade every tournament ever” streak ends.

@edsbs.bsky.social Spencer, how did the fact that an American spaceship deployed the Jolly Roger not even get mentioned on the FAM episode? That’s my Margaret Thatcher moment.

First time trying online pickup ordering at Weigel’s. The fire roasted supreme pizza is excellent.

My hesitation with Pilot, Regal, or Food City is they already have their names on facilities on campus. I’m wondering Bush’s, Weigel’s, Calhoun’s, or Dollywood?

I’m listening to the College Football Enquirer and the gents are talking about the corporate jersey patches, which allowed this upcoming season. Whether you agree with this trend or not, who do you think is going to pony up and be Tennessee’s patch sponsor?

My talented kiddo is on his way with my wife to his first out of state ice skating competition. He’s been working hard on some fun routines that he’ll display this weekend. Please send your good vibes his way!

Be glad you don’t work overnight. When I’m used to eating throughout the night, fasting after midnight sucks.

Listen, a bunch of people got duped into believing that the cheap crap that Target sells for a tick more than Walmart is somehow any better than the cheap crap Walmart sells.

Those folks have learned, and aren't coming back even if you gave some half-assed apology, let alone whatever this is.

Dr. Jellyfinger: β€œIsn’t there a children’s book about an elephant named Babar?”

Fletch: β€œI don’t know. I don’t have any.”

Dr. Jellyfinger: β€œNo children?”

Fletch: β€œNo elephant books.”

My wife told me that people not consuming a consistent diet of literature is why they struggle with empathy & putting themselves in the shoes of others & now I see it in everything.

Nothing surprising about this guy beating his chest & proudly proclaiming that he doesn’t read though.

No shit man.

Just read this: "I wish the Indy sequels were grounded and gritty like 'Raiders'."

"Raiders" ended with GHOSTS

β€œThe Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” is hilarious. Granted, I’m biased because I think @bibbymoynihan.bsky.social is an awesome person but Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe are great on it too.
