This is an interesting test of the joke construct, because on one hand, there is no earthly way to prepare yourself for what you’re about to see, but on the other hand, you are told precisely what you’re about to see
Lil brother shares my practice of keeping his office in a state where he could leave it forever in 45 seconds if he had to.
But after four years at one job, he has caught so much hell from colleagues about his completely empty walls that he finally added a photo:
Meet a soft and flabby wonder with the smallest brain-to-body weight ratio of any vertebrate and a name that's bound to stimulate conversation: the Bony-eared Assfish (Acanthonus armatus). 👋

The name and hometown of every person responsible for this passage is a matter of record. It’s not radical to suggest they shouldn’t know a moment of peace in public for the rest of their lives.
1. In a horrific move, Tennessee has just passed a bill allowing parents who are religiously or morally opposed to LGBTQ+ people to adopt LGBTQ+ kids.
This could result in anti-LGBTQ+ foster parents putting LGBTQ+ kids through conversion therapy.

I have been through three full team/entire newsroom layoffs, making me an expert on those three layoffs and nothing more, and I have but one piece of advice:

Today, I am announcing the launch of my podcast, The Lou Holtz Show.
There is no one more passionate about restoring the culture of this country than me.
I truly did not think “I bet you think Robocop is political” would be topped by anyone in this lifetime or the next, but by God, he is out there striving every single day
on a professional level, I have to admire the heart of a true poster at work here
on a medical level, I'm concerned this man could drown if he happened to be in the produce section at Kroger when the misters came on
We know this is happening. 100,000’s of illegals are pouring into our country. We know it’s happening in Michigan. Our own governor is offering money to take them in! Since we can’t trust the

Everyone's talking about that new profile of a Trump supporter.
This one is a middle aged white man whose life is pretty good by typical metrics—economic situation, family, career, etc.—but he's angry, and wants politicians who'll hurt people he doesn't like.
Eye-opening stuff.
hi, lemme translate:
we just past last year's final total
as in the total after the whole week, weekend dark match, and corporate matching were added in
we're already there
is anybody else levitating
It's been three years since we drove to Mobile to retrieve this marvelous critter. ABTCR took her into their foster network after she either escaped or was discarded from a horrific breeding operation near Jackson.
anyways this is my way of noting that I no longer write or edit for The Messenger because it does not exist. on to whatever is next, which could be any interesting project (email me at ryan.nanni

if you wanna work together or just talk about Forget Paris)
See the Swift discourse from this summer (not even the football part, just the tour) for a sneak preview of grown men losing their goddamn minds when confronted with a space that has no interest in their opinions
like, bottom line here is that the cultural shift in sports journalism has yet to be invested in enough to change the way the average person consumes things on the ground more deeply. short version: dudes aren't really ready to just not matter at all in the space.
The "parent witness:" a woman in a MAGA hat who told her son that if their friends needed a parent or anything during prom night, to give her a call.
She then got a call from a trans student saying they wouldn't let her in. Parent immediately goes to argue with the principal.
ESPN has put together a great panel in Elle Duncan, Andraya Carter, Chiney Ogwumike, Carolyn Peck and even guest analyst Aliyah Boston. You can tell they genuinely like each other and the chemistry shows.
I don't know why the network can't do this with its other studio shows.
pro tip for any media going to big sports events: don’t stay in the media hotel. don’t cram 10 people into an airbnb either. find a decent hotel outside the chaos.

We watched it in SCIENCE CLASS and the teacher of that class is not only still alive, he’s Facebook friends with my mom if you would like to ask him
Today Michigan is officially no longer a "right to work" state.
Michigan is now the first state in nearly 60 years to ditch the union-busting law.
Public school workers can now collectively bargain, it's easier for unions to build power, and billionaires are furious.
& sorry if this ruins him for you, but Verne is on my heart forever for being one of the very very very first, very small handful of people with actual media jobs who got a look at EDSBS and took the time to tell us “hey, you’re onto something here, keep going”
Honestly having some serious feelings about how somewhere out there, some singular Missouri State fan was like, I don’t have much to give, but I’m going to give anyways. I love this.

Dianna Russini asked about Mike Vrabel on The Athletic Football Show:
"I don't think there was a fit for him. I don't think he sat in front of any owner who thought that his style was going to work for what they were looking for...I had a GM at the Senior Bowl who mentioned…
& I’m prepared to be surprised if anything changes, but… what could possibly damage Mulkey’s position? she’s literally always been like this. Baylor didn’t care. LSU sure as shit doesn’t care.
The absolute best part of this is how it was about an hour before we realized we had been using the real name of Texas’s head coach in our hypothetical
* And before this goes outside my immediate audience and gets stupid, I’m not saying it shouldn’t be reported on, I’m just wondering why she’s big mad about *this* one
“My company does ‘unlimited’ PTO” congratulations, you work for scammers. Now go and redline that definition of “unlimited” to the best of your abilities.
