I took a couple hours and tried to articulate what we’re trying to do. We need more sites that aren’t terrible and we need more ways to fund them.

I am convinced that these movies are designed mostly to justify posts that say things like β€œDonald Glover is Yoshi”

Telling an editor that my draft is "very complete, pretty much" 30 minutes after I was supposed to submit it

I endorse any and all weird F2/F3 standalones. Zandvoort, Mid-Ohio, anywhere.

It's a great preview of upcoming Cam Boozer discourse. We're going to get a decade of guys insisting he isn't good while he's hitting 26-12-5 with a steal and a half every year.

It was really weird seeing people call him clearly head-and-shoulders better than Sabonis at game 20 this year and it's really weird seeing people suggest that he sucks overall now. People simply cannot be normal about skilled bigs that aren't positive defenders.

Kevin Kiley going independent does not actually change anything, but it is still good when rats publicly flee the ship to any degree

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

These woke Skypeians want everyone to ride around in a gold boat powered by electricity smh

Exactly the guy you want when oil prices go up (his bike runs on smoke magic)

Lexus LC, AMG GT, and W213-generation E63 are all on my short list, but I doubt LCs and GTs fall far enough fast enough. The 4.0 turbo AMG sedans seem like the sweet spot.

Seeing a lot of good and smart posts about cheap EVs you can buy today on the timeline. I'm not super interested in that, though.

I want to know what car you're buying when all this Jimmy Carter Stuff drives down the prices of everything with a V-8.

Formula E season 1 still lives on in our hearts

Fernando Tatis Jr. crushes a two-out grand slam. The Dominican Republic is out to a quick 5-0 lead.

This DR lineup is incredible.

How did they even get a Charger? This buy happened after this generation of Charger was out of production

I get that the whole reason you do the race is to get the cars in photos with the Capitol and Washington Monument, and I get that it's a wheel-and-spoke city so you're going to have to do some weird stuff to do that. It appears that the result is a Formula E track.

That Verstappen car is absolutely stacked. A bunch of Formula 1 fans are about to learn about Jules Gounon.

This is always a fun sitcom character but its most fun when there are, like, five floating around at once. That's how you get things like the Jack working for Kenneth episode.

The main thing it seems to have taken from 30 Rock is that everyone (but Bobby Moynihan, so far) simultaneously has way more and way less dignity than you'd think.

I think it's going to have a great stride to hit once Daniel Radcliffe and Tracy Morgan's characters start hanging out. The festival event was a great peek at that, it seems like it should be this show's Liz-Jack relationship from 30 Rock.

Reading about stuff that’s happened for the first time since 1933 is a lot cooler when it’s about like baseball stats or seeing a rare bird.

Pretty bad Kings win. Really important to lose to Indiana and lose at least one of two to Brooklyn this week. Three wins there would move Sacramento from a locked in top six pick to a nightmarish mid lottery pick.

Maxime Raynaud had 18 points in the first half. The Bulls may have some issues.

He made the right choice to not to go by Russell Westbrook III professionally. That would be a whole other guy.

I would have guessed about 15 names for Russell Westbrook's dad before I got to Russell Westbrook Jr.

Have we gone from $150 oil in Summer to $150 oil this week
