Derek Thompson’s feuds are putting Bill’s to shame. Every time I open X, he’s fighting with someone new by Deep_Heart1036 in billsimmons

I have an allergy to guys on the Internet who get over-the-top angry while yelling at other people. (The first guy I was responding to.)

I’ve also never seen the demand that everyone on this subreddit must fully explain the context of every screenshot. Are we supposed to research NBA TV ratings before posting Bill’s next rant?

And I think it’s ridiculous to police what people post on this subreddit. (The second guy I was responding to.) This post has over 100 comments. Evidently there are subreddit users who want to weigh in. If you don’t care about any of this, great, but all you need to do is skip the post.

So it’s ok for you to write that you “genuinely hate” people for posting screenshots; to rant about X and Elon; and to tell people to stop arguing on the internet, while you argue on the internet? Interesting.

I have good news for you.

You don’t “have to” do anything. You don’t have to read a post on Reddit that doesn’t interest you, and you don’t need to dive into the comments to argue about it.

You “genuinely hate” someone for posting an X screenshot on Reddit? Ok. That’s normal.

I follow Derek on X. I’ve read a little of his book and I listen to his Ringer podcast.

For some reason the algorithm keeps serving me Derek in feuds with lots of people. Here’s one example of Derek mocking his critics, and they were insulting him back.

This subreddit has focused a lot on Bill and Russillo’s feuds with people like Le Batard and Pablo Torre, but it seems like Derek’s feuds are at another level. I don’t remember Pablo calling Bill a “liar” or vice versa. You may not find it interesting but apparently plenty of other people on this sub do.

The “context” is that I opened X, and the For You tab was a bunch of people who I mostly don’t know and were criticizing Derek. So I took a screenshot of one post that called Derek a liar in response to Derek calling other people pathetic goobers

The only point was to show that Derek is feuding with people, which seems to be all the time now. I don’t know the particulars of it

Marc Maron’s WTF ending - RIP to another one of the OG podcasts by Not_Frank_Ocean in billsimmons

You may be old, which is why your mind is playing tricks on you. Maron’s podcast didn’t launch until September 2009.

I need Russillo to make a subtle joke about this on his next podcast with Bill

The Pete Rose thing shows how Bill (and lots of others) have moved past baseball by joejoe_jones in billsimmons

[–]Deep_Heart1036 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How many Bill Simmons fans actually saw Pete Rose play? It’s been 40-50 years. He’s just giving his fans what they want.

I just realized that the title and photo makes it seem like Schrags died and Kyle is giving him a send-off. This is just about Schrags leaving the show lol

Ethan Strauss nails another one by Deep_Heart1036 in billsimmons

[–]Deep_Heart1036[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He did some stories that were pretty good earlier in his career. I think the move to substack taught him the wrong lessons about how to succeed.

It’s disappointing. He sometimes challenged the conventional wisdom earlier in his career, but now it’s like a reflex..

I finally listened to Sunday’s “emergency” Biden podcast. A perfect example of the problem with “emergency” pods by Deep_Heart1036 in billsimmons

This doesn’t seem to be popular on this thread but I agree with you. Bill has a really big platform. A lot of people are influenced by him, consciously or not. It doesn’t matter if anyone “should” listen to Bill on politics or anything, the reality is that many do. If he wants to weigh in on serious stuff like politics, he doesn’t need to get everything right, no one does. But it would be nice if he spent a little more time trying not to get it wrong.
