@JordanRichardSC Also loved here that Draymond didn’t try to slide further over and (illegally) screen there. Just beautiful

Steph curry is crazy for this shot omg 🤯

@mertonesque @HitFactoryPod But also Radiohead is really good

Something Awful did a parody of Pitchfork back in like 2003 where one of the jokes was that their scale for rating albums was based on how much the album was like Radiohead. nothing ever changes

@pitchfork The thing that I guess makes me even worse than Pitchfork is that In Rainbows is better than both of these

Radiohead has made it to the finals, but only one album can win our Best Album Bracket Cast your final votes in Kid A vs. OK Computer on Instagram stories now, and thanks for playing

@EPorpoises @pitchfork Especially given that there is a third Radiohead album that is better than both

@pitchfork Two Radiohead albums in the final is the most predictable pitchfork reader bracket ever

@JeffNadu Oh check it out, I guy who’s never seen Deadwood

@gothburz Well then you suck

8:06 AM. The man whose name is on a book I wrote posted: "A whole civilization will die tonight." I am a ghostwriter. In 1987, I wrote the most famous business book in American history. Half the advance. Half the royalties. Eighteen months in his office, listening to his phone calls. He would flatter, threaten, hang up, and call the next person the greatest. I wrote it all down. I made it sound like strategy. Chapter 1 was about thinking big. I wrote that about condominiums. This morning, at 8:06 AM, the man whose name is on the cover posted seven sentences to a social media platform. The first: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." That is Chapter 1. I wrote that about condominiums. Chapter 3 was about leverage. "The best thing you can do is deal from strength." The example was a zoning board. The technique was implying you had options you didn't have. He is using Chapter 3 on a strait that carries 20% of the world's oil. The zoning board is a shipping lane. The leverage is a navy. I invented a phrase for him. "Truthful hyperbole." An innocent form of exaggeration, I wrote. A very effective form of promotion. I was describing how he inflated square footage. Thirteen thousand targets struck. Two thousand and fifty-six dead. Twenty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven wounded. I wrote "truthful hyperbole" about square footage. Chapter 4 was about timing. When to make the call. When to let them wait. When to close. I was describing a contractor negotiation. He paused the bombing for Easter. Resumed it Monday. His Defense Secretary compared the rescue of a downed pilot to the resurrection of Christ. Shot down on Good Friday. Hidden in a cave on Saturday. Rescued as the sun rose on Easter Sunday. I wrote about timing. I was describing when to return a phone call. At the Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn, while children hunted eggs, he told the cameras: "We are obliterating their country. And I hate to do it, but we are obliterating." Chapter 2 was about promotion. I wrote that about how to sell a building. A reporter asked if destroying every bridge in a nation of 88 million constituted war crimes. Three words: "Not worried about it." A journalist reported a downed pilot missing behind enemy lines. He threatened to jail the reporter. I looked through the manuscript. There is no chapter on press freedom. There is no chapter on international law. There is no chapter on what happens when the contractor you're threatening is a civilization. I didn't write those chapters. I was writing about real estate. He didn't notice they were missing. He doesn't read. Someone asked if God supported the war. "God is good." There is no chapter on theology either. Chapter 7 was about knowing when to walk away. I described a stalled deal. The lesson was patience. He walked away from every alliance his country had built in eighty years. Forty countries formed a coalition to guard the strait because nobody answered the phone. In my journal, in 1986, I wrote: "All he is is 'stomp, stomp, stomp' — recognition from outside, bigger, more, a whole series of things that go nowhere in particular." Forty years. Nothing has changed except the size of the things being stomped. I know he never read the book. Eighteen months together, I never saw one on his desk. Not mine. Not anyone's. The man whose name is on the most famous business book in American history has never read a book. He didn't need to. It was never a manual. It was a mirror. He looked at the cover — his name, in gold, larger than the title, as he'd requested — and saw everything he needed. "A whole civilization will die tonight." Seven sentences. 8:06 AM. A Tuesday. I called it truthful hyperbole. He is calling it foreign policy. I built the mythology. He added a military.

@poorteffy Matched the music perfectly

Drams head is vectorized while yachty head a black and white photo. The Green “D” for where they was gonna put dram name covered by the L. The shitty corpo art broccolis. That graphic designer was cooking straight bullshit.

@JamesUrbaniak They said biggest not sexiest

I'm going with former Hüsker Dü bassist Greg Norton

@wordmae The alternate definition is, “what you do when you’re playing Street Fighter and your friend has already picked Ryu”

What’s the word?

@xAsamoahx Yes because I was made to listen to AM radio 📻 n the 1990s

Did you know that by spelling the english word SOCKS outloud you are also saying the spanish phrase Eso si que es, which means "it is what is is". You can Try it in your head

@TPNdustries Because when people post about him they don’t mention his name

How is it that this dude could found a band that influenced just about every artist to come after, be romantically linked to Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, & Bonnie Raitt, former member of Zappa's Mothers, produced Shakedown Street for the Dead, yet he is not a household name?

@MisterBoognish @_Blasky @PaulPabst Sound like you need to Ween yourself off all that soccer watchin

I mean sure, if you're only a one or two sport fan. I'm an actual sports fan and watch the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and La Liga as well. Wouldn't be a fan of having to wake up an hour earlier to watch some of the 6:30am European football kickoffs, if I was on mountain time. The central time zone is the absolute sweet spot for real sports fans. Get most of the European games out of the way by noon, just in time for college football/NFL. Doesn't get much better than that.

Debating the best time zone for sports fans. I said Mountain...by far. Lots of blowback on that. Seems obvi.

@portraitinflesh I remember liking the Moby album ‘Play’ back in the day but I recently relistened and was surprised to realize…Moby just isn’t actually all that talented. Give it a relisten, it kind of sucks

What sort of little tit expects a song recorded in 1970 to be "evolved" on trans rights? Anyway, the lyrics of "Lola" *aren't* hostile to the title character; they're actually rather sweet, and even progressive, by the standards of the era. Eminem was SO right about this schmuck.

@JWard_73 @agraybee So you celebrate Mueller for investigating and drawing objective conclusions right?

@agraybee This is my favorite part of the report:

My favorite Robert Mueller story was when he released a comprehensive report concluding that Russia helped Trump win the election but Bill Barr said "nuh uh" and the media used that as proof the libs were hysterical.

@thecureforblur @anymanfitness I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used too

No you didn’t. You probably think you did. But you didn’t. If you truly did, go to the hospital immediately, something is very wrong.

@redditbutfunny Without it the door wouldn’t be able to close.

@alitaylor Lonesome Dove

@MikeBeauvais the Heat index

Bam Adebayo’s 83 is actually closer to 100 when you factor in the humidity.

@xklusivphca @firstwefeast Amazing, just posted the same thing. Great minds 🤣

@firstwefeast thought that was Gozer for a sec

@firstwefeast Lookin like Gozer
