oh this is gonna be such a clusterfuck. no one in this administration actually enjoys anything beyond cruelty--certainly not something like sports--and it seems like they're unaware of just how much of a Big Deal the world cup is. Stupidity, embarrassment, and cruelty will be the order of the day

You absolutely don't ever have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

who has goose fat lying around but not milk???

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

in the pit

This entire weekend

if anyone is looking for a book rec in this realm in the meantime, I just read The Bombshell by Darrow Farr for my book club and it was good.

what if I just pivoted to only talking about F1, something I just got into this year and on which I went down a deep deep rabbit hole, on here?

Tom Perriello....now there's a name I haven't heard in a long long time....
