@JoeySalads Funny to watch the goalposts move from “this movie will suck” to “sure the critics love it but audiences won’t” to “ok it’s a ginormous hit but could have been even ginormouser”.

@TawhakiTheGod @SpencerKlavan Someone did not google “Spencer Klavan” before asking this hilariously wrong-headed question…

@ShaneRyanHere Monty Python‘s Flying Circus was in their third season in 1971, and the whole “lady spectator” sequence would have fit quite comfortably between the Dead Parrot sketch and the Ministry of Silly Walks.

@ShaneRyanHere One of my favorite reads 4x a year.

Smiled at the Thomas More joke, laughed aloud at the closing Matt Fitzpatrick “one grain of sugar” joke.

Somehow in all the flapdoodle there is incisive golf commentary.

@BrianKirschner_ The whole “Rory skips events“ narrative completely ignores the fact that he has played over 250 DP world tour events. He’s won “Race to Dubai” 7 times. No American player plays two tours much less has won the season long title in each multiple times.

@kevinnbass Every time I think I’ve seen the stupidest Odyssey take, someone comes along to top it. Imagine thinking the director of Dunkirk and The Dark Knight wants to see the West destroyed. You almost have to admire the audacity it takes to be this proudly and publicly wrong.

@holland_tom People are really angry about a movie they haven’t seen and have no plans to see, based on a book they haven’t read and have no plans to read. Maybe the best example of the Twitter rage machine getting people fired up for no good reason.

@CatholicSat The History of the Decline and Fall of the Brazilian National Team, by the Anti-Edward Gibbon.

@AdamMGrant Yes, you are correct. Belgium should want to play the full USA squad full, and not against a team with star player unfairly sidelined.

@Will_Tanner_1 Did they grow gradually more indolent in the weeks between the Battle of Stamford Bridge, and the Battle of Hastings?

(I don’t know who Will Tanner is, but if you’re interested in history, you need to block and mute him. )

The last match up this big between England and Norway was at Stamford Bridge... in 1066...

We won that one, but lost to France in the final. 960 years of hurt..

@ShaneRyanHere Or as Rich Hall called it, Musquirt. (From the sniglets segment on Not Necessarily the News)

@anishmoonka I call this “Bad Hair Day Syndrome”. When you think you’re having a bad hair day, I assure you, nobody notices your hair is any different than any other day.

@davidhenkes At the last Nest meeting, I asked about a dozen executives to name their favorite restaurant chain (excluding their own). When it was my turn, I voted for Culver’s.

Btw, Portillo‘s won in a landslide, but that might’ve been because we were in Chicago…

@Gentleman_Ways @janAZ417 It is not a great answer. John Adams was, in Jefferson’s words, “the Colossus of independence”.

[Chris Keating @ChrisKeatingWS]

@batcountry1980 I once wrote this about SDP. So now I have to know the backstory!

@KenBurns Gordon Wood passing on the eve of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is reminiscent of Adams and Jefferson passing on the 50th anniversary.

@damiankelleher It’s not necessarily provincialism. Yes, Shakespeare & Tolstoy & Homer are universal, but it’s OK if people like literature from and about their native land.
