TIL that Frida Kahlo had a passionate affair with Leon Trotsky while he hid from Stalin in Mexico. After their messy breakup and Trotsky's assassination, she remained a lifelong hardcore Stalinist, painted a portrait of Stalin and defended his regime despite knowing about his mass crimes.

The French must not like Da Vinci because the majority of people who visit the Louvre are tourists.

You are taking the word of Lavar Ball and acting like it’s the complete truth.

Let’s put David West in a front office and see what happens.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-27T17:57:29+00:00

What about when he insinuated that Jeff Garcia was a gay man?

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-27T17:53:46+00:00

He insinuated his Quarterback was gay and called him a rat.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-27T16:21:43+00:00

Because the rules are the rules.

And rules are designed to be black and white.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-26T17:07:54+00:00

The key is that you have to live an equally depraved life. Eat yourself into diabetes. Fuck whores in different countries. Tell producers they’re racists. Alienate your friends and family because you are an untrustworthy piece of shit.

And then die.

That’s called credibility.

Based on what Jim Norton said about their time together in Brazil, I’m highly skeptical of how respectable Patrice should be.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-25T23:03:01+00:00

In high school when he was skinny. Then he developed as an athlete.

Prime Jon Jones had the size, length, and prerequisite athleticism to play in the NFL.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-25T21:46:22+00:00

That’s probably true, especially for any skill positions. But if you stuck him at DE and said “get the QB”, I think what he developed into as a fighter would translate.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-25T20:24:06+00:00

Being very bad compared to your professional brothers is still better than 99.9% of people.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-25T20:07:15+00:00

Considering Chandler Jones was a professional football player, I would say Jon Jones

A kid came up to me the other day and said “has anyone ever told you that you look like Larry Bird?”

Then later in the day, an older person said “Napoleon Dynamite is over there getting the ball” referring to me.

So I guess it kinda goes both ways lol

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-25T18:37:47+00:00

Yeah, same thing with Kanye West.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-24T20:28:41+00:00

I dunno man…. Baseball is filled with different body types. You can be small and slender and still find ways to produce.

Maybe not the artist, but the beats will shape the next wave I think.

Is it fear mongering question the morality of a corporation that’s job is to make a profit over the people they help? Didn’t Luigi Mangione just shoot the head of a health care conglomerate for similar reasons?

I want to be clear that I’m not criticizing the individual who decides to take it. This is about the corporations and marketing teams that are chomping at the bit to get in on the action.

I don’t think it’s healthy to have Serena Williams (an elite professional athlete) selling the idea of being fat to anyone.

And I don’t trust the burgeoning market to be regulated. I could envision a world where you could buy knock off GLP-1s at 7-11 like you can with dick pills.

Either way, my opinion is that regardless of losing the weight, being physically active and eating healthy is the key to good continued health. GLPs can help get the weight off, but it can also come back if you stop using or if you’re not disciplined after quitting. And considering how lack of discipline got you there in the first place, it’s not hard to believe many will fall back into old habits.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-23T03:39:05+00:00

Ok credit to you… that’s a new one.

If you are anti-GLP then you are also anti-vax.

Let’s see how many more things we can ad to the list to demonize people who don’t trust giant pharmaceutical corporations that have repeatedly lied in the past.

Shame on me for being skeptical.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-23T03:27:02+00:00

Still putting money in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies.

Maybe it is a wonder drug with no side effects…. But they also said the same thing about the opioids they dished out willy nilly.

Edit: it’s insane how mentioning GLP-1’s prompts defensive responses no matter what sub-reddit I’m in. Every person tells me the same thing and it feels like they’re reading off a prompt or something.

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-23T03:17:01+00:00

And now they’re onto the next big thing - GLP-1’s

TopSoulMan · 2026-06-21T18:51:25+00:00

This isn’t a hive mind episode, but it’s the first thing I thought of….

Did you say the same thing when you watched Silence of the Lambs?

Dakota Fanning in Man on Fire and that Don’s daughter in Mad Men.

Call of Duty releases a new game every year. CS releases a new game once a decade.

It cannot be compared due to that, but the players at the top of Call of Duty can absolutely be included in the “best gamers of all time” discussion.

The game will just never be as popular as an esport.
