If in the year 2026 you're still getting enraged at the idiot camo cosplayer with the bad faith takes on politics, this is a you problem, his entire grift is obvious to everyone right now, and at this point if you're participating in helping his career with your outrage it's because you also want to

I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal
like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer

I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

I was looking at one of those house maintenance schedules. Like clean your gutters every four weeks and your dryer vent every two weeks and…

And I just laughed and laughed….

I get the sense that more people need to be aware that these are crimes under *US law* not just that strange international law that so many are not sure is really real.

Exclusive review: Netflix's new Moriah Wilson documentary The brutal murder of gravel's rising star became the worst kind of sensationalist tabloid fodder. A new documentary tries to put the focus back on the woman herself.

Starting today, I'm going to do some semi-regular writing for my old friends at Escape Collective. First up: a review of an upcoming Netflix documentary that I was VERY nervous to watch, about the life and death of Moriah Wilson.

And by expertise we’re talking like Elliot School grad student level. Not an anthropologist who lived with the Azeris of Northern Iran for five years level.

I’ve seen two Pistas in the last two days. This is what happens when you stop vaccinating.

This is ridiculously cliche at this point but the annual US Institute of Peace budget when I worked there was ~$35m. And we were required to justify every dollar.

The other Phat Phree piece that lives rent free in my head is the complaint essay written by the lowest ranked player in Madden.
