beloved writer often in @ringer @dcexaminer @realclearpa @menshealthmag | weekly in @unherd | 1000+ bylines since 2007 | PWAHOF commish | 🏋️
- The year is 2022. The USA is up to COVID-37. 5 businesses remain open: Amazon, Walmart, UFC, Twitch, and WWE. Fights are streamed 24/7. Some athletes now enter the ring in iron lungs. The stock market has been replaced by a random number generator. It works just as well
- Hideki Matsui had a "goon cave" that contained 55,000 adult videos. this man could GH (goon hand) just as well as he could DH in the World Series
- Wow, Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick went on TV and said he's 70 but willing to die for the economy. This is lit af. This the tea. This is the new angle on all this. You love to see it. Die for the stocks!
- nothing you post will ever get as many likes (293k, as of right now) as this bizarre AI image on facebook
- Instead of building houses and hotels, you “nudge” players around the board while posting incriminating videos of them on social media to teach them lessons. It’s good, actually
- the @ringer has gone deep on the life and times of the Iron Sheik, who died yesterday. I've got an obituary that covers his amateur and pro careers theringer.com/2023/6/8/23753…
- [HS debate finals] debater 1: i'm not getting paid to educate you. debater 2: maybe do the reading? d1: gonna drop my venmo link right here in the zoom chat. d2: grift much? saw you liked a joe rogan show tweet, chief. [debater 2 wins. d1 is barred from all work in the US.]
- If Trump dies or is so debilitated he’s effectively out of the election, what’s left (!!!) of the media industry is headed for a major recession. Conservatively speaking , 50% of media production is Trump takes/Trump tweet analysis/etc. you can cut a lot of fat
- Replying to @MoustacheClubUSMost gig work now involves people paying government credits to watch each other do mundane tasks on Onlyfans. All communication occurs by podcast. Social security has given way to everyone subscribing to everyone else's patreon. Everyone lives off the all too possible whopper
