Hope the Guardians win the pennant. Fueling the @NickWilsonSays redemption tour would be a bonus.
🤣For everyone furious at me, I will try to make amends in the 3 pm hour today

I hope the Browns win, of course, but if they lose, it would be funny listening to Nick on Monday.
Whomever chose this as the ICYMI after my day on social media is diabolical 😂😂😂

There's nothing disgusting in those photos, Sean. Certainly nothing as disgusting as the time you posted a helicopter meme.
A lot of libertarians are VERY MAD about this post. And they tell me I am WRONG and that libertarians aren’t at all completely OBSESSED with normalizing every disgusting vice under the sun. Anyhow, here’s the 2024 Libertarian Party presidential candidate.

Here's how stupid this Heritage American bullshit is. Earlier this week, I was stuck at a hotel in small town Ohio. I tried for 2 hours to get an Uber to the local airfield. Finally a guy in a pickup truck sees me sitting on the curb and gives me a ride. He is a wind turbine mechanic from Texas. I thank him and offer him gas money. He says no, he just likes paying it forward; he figures that way someone will help his wife or daughter when they need it. His mother calls from Texas and they converse in Spanish. He is Hispanic. A few days later in a small town in Kansas, I am walking from the airfield to a hotel. A guy in a truck stops and picks me up. He is in uniform. Army National Guard, with an 18th Airborne Corps combat patch from Iraq in 2018. His truck is full of duck hunting gear. He is a black guy from Chicago. I would stand beside either one of those guys in a minute, over any of these morons claiming they inherit some kind of status from their ancestors. Character ain't hereditary, and it sure ain't racial.

My son was going to college to be a special ed teacher. A professor said it was colonialist to expect a journal article to contain empirical evidence. His classmates all agreed. He changed majors.
The best single encapsulation of why the Jason Arday scandal damages us all.

The way the MAGA-GOP rides COVID vaccine accusations alarms me. Even if those vaccines were the most hazardous vaccines of my lifetime (which seems unlikely) their reduction of deaths and injuries was plainly enormous. How is that ignored?

This entangled story of religious dissenters, witch-hunters, occultists, parliamentarians, and worriers about the Bavarian Illuminati reminds me how Robert Anton Wilson had a clue.

Hey @YahooSports accuracy matters. I missed the College World Series because you had the time listed wrong on your app!

Between Youngstown and Yellow Springs, Devo and Pere Ubu, Traficant and Kucinich, Ohio is...not the nation's weirdest state, but surely the weirdest one that everyone thinks is normal.
Say something nice about Ohio.

The DOJ goes around trying to find evidence to prosecute Trump's enemies, and when it can't find the evidence it changes prosecutors until they can find one to do it. The word corruption isn't even sufficient here. This is authoritarianism. Only their incompetence saves us.
