I wish there was a safe space where I could tell content creators very stupid things about them that annoy me but that aren’t total dealbreakers. Like I don’t want to hurt their feelings, I just wish they’d fix the thing.

I was having lunch today with my family and my brother in law and dad were talking about things to watch. I was like, “If ain’t Family Feud, I don’t care much.” Vindicated.

[Blake Ells @blakeells]

Man I just watched Steve Harvey’s wife walk out a cake to celebrate his 1000th episode of Family Feud. It pays off every night, but it for sure did tonight. Goat.

Only one man to call for this kind of thing: Apache.

Apache is a matchup handicapper and he is the only one that answers his line 567-PICK.

Ole Miss is a double-digit favorite over Auburn in Saturday's game in Oxford, and that's a rarity.

The Rebels, favored by 11½ points this time, were a double-digit favorite in 2022, but not many times before that, so says an Internet search, which couldn't find another time, and claims to know everything. Anyway, Auburn was favored over Ole Miss 36 times in the last 47 meetings.

Auburn is 2-5 against the line this season. Ole Miss is 5-2.

@Sothrn_Discmfrt Man, you pay money for Twitter?

Bro is playing CORINTH, MISSISSIPPI today. Are you joking with me right now?

[Blake Ells @blakeells]

Politics aside, look at that venue he’s playing. This is like when the Sand Mountain Amphitheater gets Fuel in 2026 with the lead singer that isn’t Brett Scallions.

Two protesters chanting “ICE out” — a reference to the administration's immigration policies — were escorted from the hangar during President Donald Trump’s rally in Dalton.

Their ouster drew cheers of “USA” and jeers from the crowd as Trump supporters sought to drown out the demonstration.

The naysayers are getting embarrassing. Every day, people are using AI to make incredible breakthroughs and answer some of the toughest questions around, like "what do I like about my child?"

If you remember smash that rt I hate my wife.

My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long.

Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys

I’m not trying to say that this website is “good,” but every time I see something on Threads pushed to me, god almighty it’s dumb.

This was from the 2013 show.

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit open with “Speed Trap Town” at 9:04 p.m.

[Blake Ells @blakeells]

Look, I don’t wanna be a stickler.

But Jason’s plaque on the newly installed “Ryman Residency Wall of Fame” says that this started in 2013.

It didn’t. He played one concert that year. I THINK he may have played three the next year. But…a “residency” isn’t one concert.

[Blake Ells @blakeells]

@Ascot_Friday The thing is he’s played it a lot this month and I needed 10 minutes to pee, beer, etc.
