🔥 Existential dread season 🔥

News: A. Blinken confirmed as Secretary of State. Me: Did you just say Abe Lincoln?

@206empire @Iconic_sonics @RainCityRebound Ah I didn’t realize that I was barking up the wrong tree. I’ll check out these other sources. It’s good to have some good news, even if it’s not a done deal by any means!

@CleverNotions We have great partners @Iconic_sonics and @RainCityRebound to cover the news. SonicsRising still owned by the corporate overlords at Vox, so unlikely to come back.

@206empire Brian - I've been refreshing Sonics Rising for the last week looking for a celebratory post about the vote last week. Will SR ever return? Is there an even bigger milestone that we await for a resurrection?

@HDr0bot Somebody’s been reading their Singer.

The american taxpayer is so much more wealthy than the average (mean) person that it is a moral imperative to provide aid to the rest of the world.

@PardonMyTake I feel like the NFL cap is super easy to explain - what am I missing here? Team 2 cleaned up here, other than Craps.

Todays Mount Rushmore: Things That Are Hard To Explain

@NFLMedia @NFL @greggrosenthal @nflnetwork @JourdanRodrigue @JacobFeldman4 @Sportico This makes me mad as hell.

🚨Podcast Debuting Tuesday🚨 New @NFL podcast "NFL Daily" w/ @greggrosenthal premieres Tuesday Episodes 5 times a week & features various @nflnetwork personalities in addition to @JourdanRodrigue & others More details from @JacobFeldman4 in @Sportico: sportico.com/business/media…

@greggrosenthal This is devastating news. So sad to see the three of you part ways after more than a decade of mirth. Disappointed would be massively underselling how I feel about this.

I am so grateful to the countless people who helped us along the way, especially the listeners. I can’t thank you all enough for letting us become part of your lives and sticking with us through everything. I hope that support continues for all of us in our next steps. I will be staying at the NFL, but for now I just wanted to give thanks to everyone that helped us on this incredible journey before starting the next one. Heed the call.

We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago. We didn’t take a single break in all the years since, which is part of what made the last six weeks so heartbreaking. I never expected our last show on May 23 to be our *last show,* but here we are.

@dannyoneil From your lips to god’s ears, my friend. I’ll be raising a toast tonight as I have for many years, following your example.

As well as #OKC seems situated for the future, I’m old enough to remember when they had Durant, Westbrook and Harden and won exactly zero titles. I have faith they can mess it up.

@mtnmamamd @julesterpak She does likely have testicles, it's true.

@julesterpak Entertaining but very sad. But I do respect the brass balls on MTG

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up” AOC: “That is absolutely unacceptable. How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person” Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Why don’t you debate me?” AOC: “I think it’s gonna be self-evident” Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Yeah, you don’t have enough intelligence” James Comer: “Miss Greene, do you agree to unanimous consent to strike your words?” Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Yes, I’ll strike my words but I’m not apologizing” Jasmine Crockett: “I’m just curious to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde, bad built, butch body… that would not be engaging in personalities correct?” James Comer: “Uh, a what now?”

@bereza @mattyglesias Nothing to see here.

@mattyglesias Proof that the 90s is the most interesting decade in the last 35 years.

It’s fascinating how un-impacted this data series is by basically anything

What’s the word Jacson? Will the PLU guys ever make it back on the pod?

@JacsonBevens hey Jackson - you ever going to have your buddies from college on the pod to talk ball/Seahawks? Before cigar thoughts became as official as it is now, I loved hearing those stories about Frosty and getting a different perspective than you usually hear.

@shoelover321 @AllusionistShow @e_a_rly @black_crossword @abortionpuzzles @ajxwords I very much enjoyed this episode, particularly Eric’s dry delivery. And I learned so much about the ways constructors are supporting meaningful causes.

@AllusionistShow @e_a_rly @black_crossword @abortionpuzzles @ajxwords Dream episode with all my favorite crossword people! ❤️

There's a new episode in your podfeed, featuring a constellation of crossword-makers who are doing very exciting and cool things: @e_a_rly, @black_crossword, @abortionpuzzles and @ajxwords. Listen/read, and get their puzzles at theallusionist.org/grids OR ELSE

@Firedesirre If they are rude to waiters/hospitality staff.

@Danny_Heifetz I think I’d go with Herbert.

@PalaceFisherman @TylerGlaiel I was totally expecting it to be one fish 1000x the size.

@TylerGlaiel Fishing does seem to become considerably easier

if you're currently working on a video game, take a short break, pick a number in your code or data files, multiply it by 1000, and post the results

@HayahGB @JoshMalina I agree with you. And Israel should find a way to protect its borders without slaughtering children in the tens of thousands.

@JoshMalina I wouldn't stand next to someone shouting מוות לערבים at a protest, even if we happened to agree on certain goals of said protest. These encampments are antisemitic at the core. People who aren't antisemitic should find another way to protest without associating with antisemitism

Stop pretending there are no antisemites in the protest movement; stop pretending the protesters are all antisemites.

@AllusionistShow this brand loves a good #portmantno

@DannyBKelly DK I need to win this week to make the playoffs! Should I start Waddle or D-Hop?

@DeputyARUUU @EvilGeniuses Nothing like Seattle in the summer ☀️

EVO is in 3 weeks and I’m very excited to be rocking the EG PRIDE🏳️‍🌈 jersey this year! #LIVEEVIL
