There’s a great old podcast between Bill Simmons and Bill Walton, where Walton gets into this very thing about the development of children. Kids who are too structured are never given space to develop the creativity.

I coach little league baseball and softball. Currently, there is a drastic umpire shortage in our area because this type of behavior has become the norm. It’s not worth the stress and risk of possibly being attacked for $60. These idiots think that a bad call in a little league game is going to cost their kid a…

I’m not particularly a “scholar” of WW II, but I did minor in history with a concentration in the European theater of that war—and I lived in Germany for five years (had the opportunity to visit Auschwitz, as well).

Based on that education and those experiences, I can only say the following:

Americans tend to conflate…

Truth is Kryptonite to these mother fuckers. Keep speaking the truth, AOC.

Separating kids from families? Cool.

They are CONCENTRATION CAMPS. FULL STOP.

He’ll have plenty of colleges willing to take him.

From the Harvard admissions questionnaire:

Just got home from the game. Congrats to the Blues and their fans. Enjoy, it’s gonna be a fun summer.

Demographics is a bitch, isn’t it?

“The US continuing to score goals was uncalled for. They were just humiliating poor Thailand.”

They’re the party of wars, not the party of healthcare. The party of strongly and proudly (but safely and remotely) leading the patriotic troops to a foreign country to shoot and get shot. The NRA doesn’t sell bandages, after all. The importance of 9/11 was in how it gave everyone an enemy to fight. The victims are…

Comedians are the ones best suited to do that. They have a limited amount of time to connect with the audience, so they have to be concise and effective. They typically have to have a very clear understanding of the topic, because how else are you gonna ridicule it, if you don’t understand it inside and out?…

One would think that that the party of US Amercia, patriotism, football, the troops, the flag, the strong proud jingoism of 9/11 and fiscal responsibility would stand with the men and women whose suffering was the justification for a falsely justified war.

How about that Charlie McAvoy kid, huh?

I work retail, specifically as a cashier, and so I need to have at least some sense of what’s going on across a bunch of different sports, news cycles, even television shows that I don’t watch to make sure I can keep up with my customers. And reliably, when someone’s from Long…

Hey ER doc, I agree with Papi.

You really think that Marchand one timer was easy?

Yeah, they successfully tricked me into thinking he said something terrible but instead it’s a bunch of tweets I pretty much fully agree with.

This is so dumb.

Counterpoint: No, he doesn’t. He’s a genuinely good person who is imperfect, like everyone is, but is actually willing to learn and grow.
