“We must picture hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives with the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.”

Holy hell, this is an absolutely incredible statement from the Lemkin Institute (@LemkinInstitute).

"Lemkin" refers to "Raphael Lemkin," the individual who coined the word "genocide." (Continued below.)

Now that everyone has had a year to steal this, it's going to be a significant competitive disadvantage if you're not going for it on fourth-and-short all the time. Everyone in the league should be doing this in 2023.

Well, the mask is off, if it was ever really on. As I predicted, the TikTok ban has evolved into blatant censorship of the internet. Let's talk about it. Big rant incoming, but if you enjoy continuing to have even some semblance of personal freedom, you're gonna wanna listen

Nailing myself to a cross? I made one joke and went back to work...because unlike you, I still talk about sports for a living. Have a great day 👋

Props to Disney for flashing Herr Reichsfürher DeSantis a middle finger bigger than the Orlando property itself. https://t.co/ApMHuNbdLj

The French really did the “this is fine” meme.

Niners already have a lot of GUYS but they are also always in in everything. Interesting.

The #Bengals have had trade conversations centered around LT Jonah Williams, sources say, as the interest heats up in the player who has 47 career starts. Williams requested a trade following the signing of Orlando Brown, and Cincy has heard from several possible suitors.

This is the thing about baseball. There's only so much losing one player can ever cost you. There are no quarterbacks, no 30% usage players, no goalies.

7. One week ad a towel. Then one week as a bath mat. Then it gets laundered.

[Dan Orlovsky @danorlovsky7]

@marlon_humphrey Question is:

How many times do you use a towel post shower till you throw it in laundry? I’m 30 times or so till it goes in

And no I agree but that air better be HOT

TW: Transphobia

Update on the Florida bill. It applies even to people just visiting the state. If your kid is trans and y’all go to Disney, Florida could kidnap them.

Legally.

[Richard Sherman @RSherman_25]

This Lamar Jackson situation needs to get more attention. Teams would rather lose or employ worse players than pay a Former MVP in his prime. Can you imagine Burrows getting a NON Exclusive tag and there being NO interest?! Its INSANE!
