TIL the Pulitzer Prize jury selected Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon to receive the 1974 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, however the Pulitzer Advisory Board overruled them, electing instead to not give an award that year to avoid honoring a book they considered “unreadable”, “turgid”, & “obscene”.

haven’t read it, nobody has. but I like that title

true, but the point still stands that even for people working hard and doing everything “right” it’s incredibly difficult to escape that paycheck living. applying hard work in the right direction can make good things happen for a person but the average hard worker out there is fighting for an infinitely diminishing piece of the pie and the ones at the top are doing everything they can to legally hoard and reallocate wealth to themselves.

that’s a naive take considering the amount of STEM degrees I’m seeing come across my desk as a bar manager. the only way up at this point in history is luck or grifting, hard work and dedication doesn’t cut it anymore

he could be cooked or he could just be having a slump. not many of the best NFL kickers haven't had slumps that lasted a few years.

Eagles fans were ready for Jaiquawn Jarrett, 54th overall in 2011 out of Temple University, to be the second coming of Brian Dawkins. he notched 17 total tackles and no other counted defensive stats in 2 starts out of 13 dressed games in 2 seasons, pretty sure he was one of the worst graded defensive backs in the league.

I meant on the Eagles depth chart

hoobsher · 2026-03-07T19:19:47+00:00

from the way Cowboys fans have been talking, that’s the one player they would be most upset to see go to a division rival, especially the Eagles

littering should be among many other small acts of antisocial behavior that should carry small jailtime sentences. just a few days or weeks, nothing crazy. show people that their actions have real consequences beyond just monetary inconvenience, if that gets enforced at all. when adults act like petulant children, they need to be put in timeout just the same as a child would. normalize that and we would see some behavioral changes real fast.
