Dangerous levels of sobriety developing in this country; entire folkways are at risk of going extinct.

This video gets funnier every time you watch it😂

The umpire got hit in the nuts not once, not twice but three times in four innings. And not once did he think, maybe I should find a cup.

But the noise he made every time he got hit was the best. And I swear, I’m pretty sure someone said “he’s dead” on the very last one.

Funniest shit you’ll see today.

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal @patrick_kidd

Keep thinking about the “We don’t want candidates grown in vats” line from Platner’s guy. I think being responsible, stable, and very ambitious in pursuing public service are pretty admirable actually and I’m weary of the denigration of politicians as inherently evil

It's crazy that The Decision was 16 years ago and LeBron is still the predominant free agent headline in the sport. To put it in perspective, 16 years ago one of the biggest other free agents available was Carlos Boozer, and now his *son* is in the league.

@mattyglesias You should look into Shah's connection to the Quincy Il legionnaires disease outbreak at the veterans home that killed more than 10 people.

I would like to give kudos to AOC for once again being the only adult leftist and avoiding Graham Platner like the plague

It's amazing how many times the rest of the left does something apocalyptically stupid and the only one who avoids having to backtrack is Cortez. Given she's a) way smarter than any other leftist political figure in America and b) a woman under 40, I suspect she took one look at Platner, thought "I would not leave my drink unattended near that guy," and stayed as far away from him as possible

Yeah, I’m going to watch Erling Haaland lead the Viking Row after leading Norway to the World Cup quarters about 732 more times today.

The Romans would have seen this and immediately gone insane

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

For context on the air conditioning debate between the US and Europe...one must consult the ancient texts:

1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.

some buddhist stories are functionally jokes. here’s one i heard from a tibetan guy:

buddha is traveling along and meets a man that lives at the edge of a large river. he’s a guru with many students, and when buddha gets there, the guru explains his abilities.

“i can walk across this river,” the guru says. “it took me my whole life to cultivate this ability. first, i had to understand myself. that took one decade. then, i had to understand water - this took another decade.”

“then,” the guru continues, “i had to understand that there is no water. the water is just a temporary phenomenon - a conditional aggregate of interdependent causes and conditions. that took another decade. finally, i had to understand that this phenomenon, which i call water, is not separate from the phenomenon that i call ‘me’, my self.”

“after this final decade, i understood that i create the water, and the water is part of me. now, i can walk right across the top of this river - and i do this every day. cultivating this spiritual gift has been my life’s work.”

and the buddha says, “wow. that’s really great - but”, gesturing downstream, “there is a bridge about a mile down that way”.

The league is knee-deep in bed with gambling sites. They’re making billions of dollars… I can’t make it all make sense

A Red Sox fan gave a baseball to a little Yankees fan. She gave him a hug in return as a thank you.

[Morgan @simplymorgn]

a good middle manager looks like a guy who just drinks coffee and forwards emails, but his actual job is secretly absorbing insane executive requests so the team can just do their work

[Ben Verlander @BenVerlander]

I honestly can’t believe this is real.

Kendall George is on a rehab assignment after he injured his patellar tendon avoiding a bat dog on the way back to the dugout.

The visiting stadium played this sound as he walked up to the plate…

Give Messi all the plaudits but this is out of this 🌍 from Thiago Almada.
Started run played it wide and let return ball go thru his legs knowing Messi was coming in.
Spectacular goal.

Honestly the best trend in American microbrewing over the past five years or so has been the embrace of German- and Czech-style beers over IPAs.
