I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.

"You want that Animal Style?"

I paused.

I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.

"...Animal Style."

"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"

I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.

"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."

Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"

I stopped. Even the potatoes?

"The potatoes also become animals?"

"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."

"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."

"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"

I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"

"It's, like, how many patties you want."

"How many is the most honorable?"

"...Four is a lot."

"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."

She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.

It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.

I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.

For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.

They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.

So tell me, America.

The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?

And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?

I’m no Clark fan

I’d rather someone else won

But I think the crowd behaviour towards him today is appalling

Shouting out “choke”, “get in the bunker” and cheering missed putts etc is out of order

It’s something usually only reserved for USA Ryder Cups

It really needs to be stamped out imo

[Lou Stagner (Golf Stat Pro) @LouStagner]

I am all for rooting for your favorite players…

…but fans screaming at Wyndham after every shot things like “get in the water!”,
“get in the bunker!”, “choke!” is just bush league.

Absolutely bush league.

Genuinely the best thing that can happen to American soccer culture is to lean in to what makes us unique with our college football culture opposed to doing our version of European soccer culture

College gameday style atmospheres is a great start

This single play (In a meaningless week 17 game) changed NFL history forever and the future of the Chargers, Dolphins, Saints, and Alabama.

This quote from the Argentinian Ambassador to the United States is incredibly badass, and perfectly encapsulates the early vibes of this World Cup:

[NFL Philosophy @NFLosophy]

My favorite side effect of the World Cup is foreigners reminding us that America in real life is so much better than America on tv and social media.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Norway's Erling Haaland is the first player to score twice on their World Cup debut since...

Elijah Just for New Zealand on Monday, who was the first player to achieve the feat since...

Yasin Ayari for Sweden on Sunday, who was the the first to do so since...

Folarin Balogun for the U.S. on Friday.

My coworker just told us that her dad was at the 1973 Knicks parade with his buddy and they carried a sign and they STILL have the sign, watched some of this series together and recreated their photo 🥺. Somebody has GOT to interview them.

[Mr Melancholy @chakravartiiin]

I wish I could show vozinha to all kids who take their life after one failed exam he literally picked Garbage at 25 then started playing in his late 20s and now at 40 he's delivered his best game at fifa world cup event against one of the most domiant teams.

People would have you believe that your life is over if you don't XYZ thing by a certain age but the truth is that It just takes just one BIG WIN to cancel out all the loses of life but you have to believe, work and live for that WIN.

@tridoza Pre KD they were fun. That signing ruined it

1994: American World Cup. Knicks in the NBA finals. Pending MLB strike
2026: American World Cup. Knicks in the NBA finals. Pending MLB strike.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

This is all so familiar. The proposal of a salary cap. The feeling of impending doom. It's like 1994 all over again, and while this year's World Series won't be lost to a labor war, much of baseball's momentum will be if the game is treated the same way it was three decades ago.

[🦅 🇺🇸 Billy the Kid 🇺🇸 🦅 @the_billosopher]

@Cleverlydey4u AND they secured the draw against Spain????

[Andrew Giuntini-Haubner @a_g_haubner]

The Knicks winning a championship while the World Cup cultural exchange is happening might be the legitimate antidote to the individualistic nihilism that’s poisoned so much of our country for the last decade or so

People want community. They want whimsy. It’s fun to have fun

[🦅 🇺🇸 Billy the Kid 🇺🇸 🦅 @the_billosopher]

At a certain point that nation was just never meant to be here. Something about them creates revulsion in the land and they are rejected thusly
