I mean, to be clear, my post was PRAISING Miami here, not sure why you gotta be condescending about it.

Finish the regular season undefeated and your first thought is to go taunt the road student section, brilliant

Ahahahahahaha I love college basketball

This dude is gonna think about how he didn't close out a shooter with 2 seconds left for the rest of his life:

I think you have to look more narrowly. Was gay marriage popular in the nation as a whole back then? Hardly. But it was wildly popular in SF generally and among CA dems generally, and a great way for him to make his name as a politician.

From gay marriage to homelessness to trans rights to now this, in many ways closely following Gavin's career over the last two decades has evolved me as a Californian voter from naive optimist to cynical realist.

Thanks Gavin, I hate it.

Slowly, slowly, slowly, but inexorably we’re making the Democratic Party less shitty. Now if only we could dump Gavin

Twidale and Maul are all conference level players NOW so as a result they have to take priority for retention. I do think that Puff has a skill set that could unlock a next level for the team as a whole, but there’s no guarantee that we get that scenario.

Trump on Twitter: Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

JD Vance on Twitter: Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Stephen Miller on Twitter: If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

Tulsi Gabbard on Twitter: No war with Iran.

Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them

If I’m feeling splurgy I might even get a soda, that’ll pay off three seconds of a cross country flight to Ypsilanti

I mean there’s no harm in asking

By attending Cal gymnastics at Sac St, my wife and I have helped the Hornets by paying down .0000016% of their MAC entry fee.

Now that Cal has competent people in charge and the basketball program is on stable footing, I'll try to move on from complaining about what the prior regime did. But I will not forget what Mike Williams, Jim Knowlton, and their enablers did to Cal athletics.

The idea that there will someday be a magical internet place where nobody is a dick to anybody else strikes me as deeply, deeply naive

I generally get cranky between November and February when it’s below 50 in Sacramento in the mornings and evenings, so it’s nice to get a reminder that I don’t live in a place with weather that would murder me

Those two colors are about as different as they could be while still classifying as pink

Arsenal have built their entire set piece strategy on the idea that those kinds of pushes aren’t ever called

Dare to be Stupid, an opinion that I hold fiercely and could expound on at mind numbing length

MAC in Sacramento means:
Replacing "raccoon" with "river otter."
Replacing "blizzard" with "balmy fall evening."
Replacing "triple-reverse flea flicker" with "insane, money-laundering athletics funding plan."

This is terrible - everybody knows that lemons most effectively absorb negative energy

I fell in love watching this man nonchalantly doing impossible things

I’m confident in saying, as a Sacramento resident, that Sac State athletics is being run by the stupidest people in college athletics

Really enchanted with this Cal WBB team. I had really low expectations this year, but it’s a team full of players who have taken huge strides both individually and as a group, and they’re peaking in a fun way

Rarely, and only as the source of a cheap joke

Distressing evidence that there’s a Doug Gottlieb for every country

Saw two Clemson fans having a conversation with a dude wearing a shirt that said “white man for racial equality,” gotta love a little ACC cross country cultural exchange

Hanging at Headlands before Cal/Clemson if you’re in the area

I do wonder if we’re going to get a medal stand protest at some point
