Love and Brian Cashman are both blind

@devahaz So this is why they made that new building so tall.

Sexual assault and racism are not funny joking matters! Ok maybe kinda tho. archive.ph/hyLJw

@BNONews Does the capture have an asterisk now? (See Pete Rose)

BREAKING: Person who won more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal has been identified as a U.S. soldier who participated in the operation. The soldier has now been arrested, according to ABC News.

@syphal5 @TheTNHoller @grok You told on the user to Grok? Are you 5 years old?

@TheTNHoller @grok isn't this user misquoting Trump's actual words? He is literally using them as quotes but not quote what he says in the video, as it leaves out much more that paints a different narrative.. also adds the quote "it is what it is" to frame it.

“Are you concerned about insider trading on these prediction markets re: the war?” TRUMP: “The world is a casino. It is what it is.” 🤷🏼 And there you have it, folks!

@jerryferrara @TM41142 You’re willing to watch a Knicks playoff game on tape delay for the nfl draft? How is that possible.

@TM41142 Not for stakes like this bro

For all Knicks and Giants fans. This is what I’m attempting: Knicks at 7pm - watch the first half or as close to it as possible. Then pause. Switch to NFL draft. Try to make it to pick 5. Then pause. At this point put the phone away. Use as much discipline as possible. I can do it. Back to the Knicks 3rd qt. Then pause. Back to draft. Fast forward all commercials and banter I don’t care about. Back to finish of the Knicks. Back to the rest of the 1st round. Put the phone away. You can do it.

@jerryferrara Okay so you’re now exposed as not a real Knicks fan if you aren’t willing to watch the draft without sound on a different tv at the expense of a live Knicks playoff game. What are you talking about?

@Afinetheorem @DKThomp Everyone is way too far down stream. It’s because we actually care. Other generations didn’t care. They were unconcious, they went with the flow. Suffering is caused by resistance. Our generation cares immensely and we will be better off for it, but will suffer a lot more first.

@DKThomp Problem is that social media = depressed outrage cycle gets attention = people believe "permacrisis crisis decade. It's really been one fucking thing after another". Unemployment is 4.3%, global war deaths are at an all time low, cars drive themselves, yet "permacrisis"?!

New newsletter: HOW THE 2020s BROKE OUR BRAINS It's the Tragic Twenties, and Americans can't stop feeling like hot garbage. - The UMich consumer sentiment survey is now at its lowest rate on record - The Fed's job satisfaction survey is at its lowest rate on record - Both the General Social Survey and the World Happiness Survey have found that happiness in the US plunged in 2020 and has since been mired at levels significantly below previous decades You shouldn't assume that your favorite pet issue is the main culprit here. Conservatives might point to cultural changes, like the decline of marriage and religiosity, but those have been going on for decades. The left might reach for wage inequality, but that has actually narrowed in the last six years. This can't even primarily be about phones, since what's most clear in the data set is something that changed this decade, not last decade. I spent a long time reading, talking to people, and doing my own research, and I think the most parsimonious explanation I can provide is this: The Pandemic Never Ended. This thesis has three parts. TPNE 1: The biological antagonist of COVID gave way to the economic antagonist of inflation, and after decades of coming to rely on lowflation and meager wage growth for low-income workers, price levels have increased 3x faster this decade than in the previous 40 years, and economists simply have to accept that inflation makes people angrier than it used to. This isn't even a strictly American phenomenon. Around the world, incumbents have lost power faster than any post-WWII period, as affordability concerns bludgeon their electorate. The few countries where happiness levels have increased in the western world in the last 6 years have had some of the lowest levels of inflation. TPNE 2: Institutions down, individualism up: The 2020s have seen trust plummet for practically every institution, along with growing distrust in strangers, and rising alone time and at-home time. At best, community offers a buffer in times of crisis. But today, the absence of community—and the triumph of a tech-enabled, hyper-introverted atomism—makes every crisis feel more existential and unsolvable. And that's a problem bc... TPNE 3: The 2020s have been the permacrisis crisis decade. It's really been one fucking thing after another, hasn't it? Pandemic, inflation, interest rates, Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, AI. Meanwhile, phones give us constant contact with both the scary news cycle and the panic-inducing fears and anxieties of the commentariat. Inflation makes today's life feel harder to live. The news cycle makes tomorrow's world scarier to live through. And the post-pandemic decline of institutions and acceleration of toxic individualism weakens our socio-emotional immune system to deal with all of it. TLDR: The pandemic never ended, and it's left us with the Tragic Twenties.

@ben_j_todd @DKThomp What is “happiness”? I feel dumb needing to ask.

@DKThomp The mystery seems deeper. Happiness is way up in Central & Eastern Europe, despite also having COVID, double-digit inflation, individualistic societies, social media, AI, and a land war literally on their borders. They've had strong economic growth, but so has the US.

@DKThomp This seriously isn’t that hard to figure out and has absolutely nothing to do with anything in this article or anything objective. What the fuck is this crap. Yes, we are suffering more. No, it’s not bc of Covid. Yes, we will figure it out in the end and be better off bc of it.

Uhhh what the hell was this about exactly? @JCMacriNBA @AndrewJClaudio_ open.spotify.com/episode/2aTqF4…

@ronedotcom @stoolpresidente @Return_Of_RB @barstoolspringb @VivaLaStool @stoolpresidente employing the biggest dweebs in each city and expecting this Vegas thing to actually be entertaining is actually wild.

Bombshell news from @stoolpresidente: @Return_Of_RB is getting sent home from @barstoolspringb after one night

@OhioTate If I never saw a tweet about Mintzy ever again that would be too many.

Mintzy checked into this flight from his Uber to airport this morning. He received the Exit Row seat with maximum leg room. “What can I say? I am Lava Hot” We are wheels up to Birmingham.

@TommyBeer As opposed to 3.5?

Yaxel Lendeborg is 4.5 years older than Cooper Flagg 🤯🤯

@JeremyDBoreing We are no longer allowed to try and prevent things that have never happened before. You are the dumbest mother fucker of all time.

Donald Trump has been a national politician for a decade. Anyone still reacting to the guy’s negotiating tactics and hyperbole with this sort of hysteria ten years in should be disqualified from political commentary. If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one. When he doesn’t, this crew will admit nothing and find some other comment to be scandalized by.

Trump rambles about autopen to a table of children at the White House Easter event

🚨 LMAO! Trump to kids at the Easter Egg Roll: “I could sign autographs for you guys, and then tonight, you could sell them for $25,000 on eBay!” 🤣 “Biden would use the AUTOPEN... he was incapable of signing his name, so they'd follow him around with this big machine. You know what it was called? AN AUTOPEN!” 😂🔥

@TheStingisBack Thought he was married?

Married With Children premiered today in 1987. Traci Lords, Pamela Anderson, Shannon Tweed and more… the guest spots weren’t subtle. No wonder I used to drunkenly sprint home from the pub to catch it. Al Bundy was a very lucky man.

OH MY GOD: After the season 8 reunion of #SummerHouse Oz Pearlman went on Radio Andy and predicted Amanda and West would end up together.

@KFCBarstool Says shit like this all the time. Everyone stop sanewashing.

Couldn’t believe this was real. Still don’t even though it’d been confirmed. Saying “Praise Be To Allah” on Easter is NOTTTT gonna go over well with his religious base. This is kinda the wildest thing he’s ever said right??

@KayceSmith As someone who’s very well versed in sports and should have a reputation to protect, this might be the most ignorant take I’ve heard in a long time. The same reason every other event with a big feel is in primetime. A game ending at 11p on a Saturday is a problem?

I know we complain about it every year but WHY are we tipping a Final Four game at 8:49 pm?? It’s Saturday. Give us an afternoon game and an evening game.

@KayceSmith Literally because it’s Saturday.
