Ugh, this whole cock-up of a pandemic will be absolutely 𝑹𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒔 for dinner party season
I can’t believe it man. We got fascism and the trains STILL don’t run on time

I haven’t really gotten emotional about this yet and I’m starting to get concerned. I know it’s in there I’m just worried it’s gonna hit me at the worst possible moment, and I’m gonna start crying at like a job interview or a first date or something

what we learned this week was that in America if ur a rapist, you can walk off a pro football field in glory under the bright prime time lights, you can graduate from ivy leagues and be shielded from guilt by the media, and continue to steal as president
Kind of a sick joke that one of the best explorations of the death penalty I’ve seen recently was a video essay by Jacob Geller

Anyone who voted for Trump has these children’s brains under their fingernails too. And they don’t get to wash them off
There’s just no way to fix this other than making sports betting illegal again. It’s just straight-up impossible and anyone who tells you otherwise is a disingenuous blowhard
New: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled. propub.li/4dGHrwr

🚨 There is only one suitable punishment for Manchester City.
Everton were deducted 6 points for ONE financial breach.
So 114 breaches across 9 seasons × 6 points = 684 POINTS
So they should get:
❌ 76-point deduction EVERY SEASON
❌ For the next 9 seasons
If that sends them down through the divisions and into non-league football…
…so be it.
This list is ridiculous for a few reasons (Ted Lasso? Really?) but the biggest one has got to be the fact that The Sopranos, Futurama and Family Guy are all missing because their first few episodes aired in the 20th century
A few months ago someone pointed out that, unlike Europeans who can accept unfair circumstances as simply unfair and move on, Americans are unable to accept that something unfortunate or unfair has happened to them and that there is no solution. And everyone clowned her
It’s such a cathartic confirmation of my boyhood hatred of him that Alex Ovechkin is a colossal moron and a huge prick
After quietly answering questions about his support for Putin’s agenda in a press conference, Alex Ovechkin said, “Let’s do hockey questions.” I spoke with him after and asked Russia questions until he ended the interview.
“I wanted to know more about the process of filming the ad. When did you shoot it?”
AO: “I think three weeks ago.”
“Did you tell the team you were doing it?”
AO: “No.”
“Were you surprised by the backlash?”
AO: “I'm surprised, but it is nothing you can change right now. I'm Russian, I'm gonna live there when I'm done. My kids gonna be there. My family's gonna be there, you know, I support my country. That's it.”
“I think the reason for the backlash being bigger this time is because of what Lavrov says about countries bringing “the sword” to Russia. When I talk to experts about that, it mimics messaging Russians get that says Ukraine is responsible for being invaded by Russia. So you standing behind him, as he says that, feels to people like a pro war stance.”
AO: “Well, I don't think it's a pro war. I think it's just support what's happening in Russia. I want the peace and love for everybody. It doesn't matter who you are, American, Russian, or Ukrainian. Like, I have lots of friends who are Ukrainians, and I hope everything's gonna be good, and everything's gonna be done soon.”
“It'll be done soon if Putin stops the invasion. Like, that's how it ends.”
AO: “Well, I'm not in politics. I can’t say who's right and who's wrong.”
“In that larger group, there were about 30 people with you, One of the people is Maria Lvova Belova. She's got an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for abducting Ukrainian children.”
AO: “I don't know who that is.”
“Okay. Can you understand why a congressperson says the NHL shouldn't allow you to participate because you support this regime, and this country is spending billions of dollars helping fight Russia? What's your reaction to that?”
AO: “Well, everybody have their own opinion, right? I'm not a politician, I'm an athlete, and, how I said, I'm gonna live there when I'm done playing. I support my country. Like, I'm Russian.”
“You would support it no matter what?”
AO: “Well, I'm gonna live there, yeah.”
“So if they're responsible for a genocide, you would support the genocide?”
AO: “What do you mean, genocide?”
[Media relations official translates ‘genocide’.]
AO: [Groans.] “Oh. I would say, like, I'm, I hope it's not gonna, it's not gonna be like that.”
[Ovechkin walks away]
