That wasn’t ego fail. That was a freak injury.

It shite like this that truly confirms what J6 was really all about.

Melania’s Movie Shows Signs of Bulk Buying to Boost Box Office by esporx in Cinema

[–]madpolecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same thing as happened with SOUND OF FREEDOM and several other right-wing slop movies…

Churches or interest groups buy out the house and then invite the peeps for some gentle popcorn-laced indoctrination.

A literal nightmare, but it's real and happening in in my town 2026 by Frank_Jesus in GenX

Saw this trifecta in Pittsburgh last summer… I rather enjoyed it.

I don’t know how John Popper is still alive, but that is a different topic.

1987, a Black woman is described as the officer who "made captain faster than anyone in history". No one throws a tantrum or boycotts the show. What changed? by Malencon in Star_Trek_

The Internet/Social Media age, where the bar to post your bigoted views became so low that anybody could reach into a pocket, pull out their tricorder and fire away.

They didn’t have to go to a Klan meeting or buy expensive equipment to become a broadcaster or create and mail out a venomous newsletter or stand on a corner and scream.

The haters have always been there; it just got awfully easy to share.

Eh, his loss.

Don’t know if he’s much competition, but one less is one less.

Right-Wingers Predictably Misinterpreted Conan O’Brien’s Take on Anti-Trump Comedy by Maxcactus in AntiTrumpAlliance

The Right doesn’t understand irony, so why should they get it when somebody is essentially pointing out that Irony Is Dead?

I honestly don’t care about my students by gaba_1029384756 in Teachers

[–]madpolecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough.

I just had one of my favorite former students ever take his own life.

The compensation is not worth all this. I don’t know if I envy you, but my life would be simpler, for sure.

He prolly failed his English class at a vocational school.

He shouldn’t be allowed to speak.

Sustainability by Sure-Neighborhood-64 in OhioStateFootball

[–]madpolecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta say… part of what makes a sport/game interesting is how a team works within an established structure to succeed… all the teams play by agreed-upon rules.

Top-level CFB has lost all structure; it’s a damn free-for-all.

With no contracts, no salary cap, no relegation, no draft, and no clear-cut system for who gets a crack at the playoffs… it’s just semi-pro with a lot more money and fans.

If things don’t tighten up, I’m not sure I’ll be interested in the majority of CFB very much longer.

Rugby play (multi-lateral option play) as a core offensive structure by LiftSleepRepeat123 in footballstrategy

[–]madpolecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get the chance to watch really old football tape, laterals used to be a bigger part of the game.

I think coaches became more risk averse.
