Portrait of Samuel Johnson, by Joshua Reynolds, 1775 (flipped)

There's a lot of bullshit out here on the internet but every so often you see a flash of pure brilliant inspiration:

MY TAKE: There's nothing better than live sports on TV when you wake up. The toxic American mania for starting games at 9pm must be vanquished. NFL games should kick off at 6 in the morning. NBA games can start at 7:30 because you actually have to pay attention

Douglas is a maniac for this

The extraordinary story of a soccer coach, a kidnapping and a Saudi job that didn’t exist Adrian Heath was duped into thinking he was on the verge of a new job – only to be held at knifepoint in Morocco. Turns out he's not alone

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

holy shit you guys look at the zamboni at my local hockey rink; the arena manager reached out to Pearl Jam for a sponsorship and got it and now we have a JAMBONI ZAMBONI

Only just realized that WEIRD AL YANKOVIC was also at the game. 😂

three sheets of paper are taped to the outside of a building. they have the words "The Oval Office" in gold script

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

INBOX: They've coined a desert owl mascot in Bora Milutinovic's honor 🦉

They say we have no “footballing culture” but right now in America, there’s a team named “Sharktopus FC” that just earned a replay of a loss because the ref for their last match turned out to have once been a player for their opponent’s second team. 🇺🇸

Without Them There Is No Us
