God damn! Baltimore are sending two 1st round picks, which is VERY hefty, but hard to argue with a gamewrecker like Crosby.

I legit almost did a spit take when his picture popped up.

Not even close. The amount of stuff it gets pitch perfect is just wild. Oppression, insurgency formation, bureaucratized state violence, mass participation in fascist movements, manufacturing consent, the banality of evil. I almost hate how good it is.

Seriously, yall have no idea how seriously this insanity is being taken over in the usual corners of twitter.

Oh I've been saying the exact same thing since season 1. It's truly absurd how good it is.

'Event Horizon.'

Maybe don't design a space ship that literally uses traveling through hell as a form of faster-than-light travel.

tweet responding to Candace Owens saying not to enlist in the US military. reads: "I served. Army Ranger. I would never ever have my kids serve this Israeli occupied nation. GFY."

As much as I'm game to fan the flames of a MAGA civil war, this shit is going to massively accelerate the spread of antisemitic conspiracy theories. ZOG posting is pretty much mainstream at this point, and it will likely only get worse.

Honestly, between him and Strauss, it really makes you wonder if people can be trusted to read Plato and Aristotle responsibly.

I hold him directly responsible for creating the blueprint for how to use philosophical sophistry to make reactionary politics seem counter-cultural and punk rock.

I think it's fair to say that, were Nietzsche alive today, he would be one of the most insufferable and unfuckable podcasters on the planet.

Dude that and the guy who literally said "why can't we just transport the oil by land across the entire Arabian fucking desert to the Red Sea?" had me in stitches.

This is why statistics like 'targets destroyed' and 'rate of attacks' don't tell us much.

At its narrowest point, the Strait of Hormuz is only 24 miles wide, meaning even with total naval superiority, any vessel going through the Strait will be within range of even rudimentary land-based systems.

Yea I love TJ, but I think it's fair to say years of playing like a linebacker has caught up with him.

Yea you would need to waterboard me for a minimum of 2-3 hours to get me to watch that shit.

Fascism is the ultimate expression of the politics of vibes, and in 2026, that means that content = currency.

This is sadly an inevitable result of the far-right going full terminally online post-gamergate. The Venn Diagram of the GOP and 4chan is just a circle, and content is the primary currency.

Again, @mikesenters.bsky.social and I tried to tell yall in 2024 that this would be the most degenerate terminally online administration imaginable...

No. Very no. Setting aside the fact that Joss is a scumbag, a major reason why the show was so beloved is because nerd-oriented shit was almost nonexistent back then. Trust me when I say that it's not nearly as good as you remember.

Also, reminder that Adam Baldwin coined the term 'gamergate.'

06.03.2026 00:47 ๐Ÿ‘ 108 ๐Ÿ” 21 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Exactly. Given how mid both the free agency and draft class is at WR, that means dudes are gonna get over-paid like crazy, so I'm not too broken up about taking on Moore's contract. A bit rich, but I can live with it.

06.03.2026 00:28 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Eh maybe. I'd be shocked if Pierce gets less than 27 million AAV and while I think he's better at the deep ball, he's not as versatile as Moore.

06.03.2026 00:18 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No. Next question.

It's really not great. I will say though, The Pitt does a decently respectable job.

Those have their own explanations, literally none of which include Epstein.

Yea It's def an overpay but I can live with it. He fills a need and the fact is that when the entire league knows you're desperate for WR help, it makes it harder to negotiate the best deal. He's still a great player and I do like that it gives us a lot more flexibility in the 1st.
