Dude has six super bowls as a head coach and two as a defensive coordinator. I hate the Patriots dynasty as much as the next guy (so help me god it doesnāt happen againā¦), but what else do you need to do to get into the HoF?!

š§ ICE Agents Will Join Olympics Delegation in Italy. Many Italians are Angry.
Mr. Sala [the Mayor of Milan] added: āBringing to Milan a militia which distinguished itself ā this is not my opinion ā with criminal acts, which kills, which enters in the homes of American citizens without authorization, I do not think that that is a good idea.ā
This is insane. The Olympic Committee and Italian government should ban America from the Olympic Gamesāand other countries should boycott the World Cup in North America (as should the US team). An untrained and unlawful unit of thugs and murderers shouldnāt be welcome anywhere. And we know they are untrained because they are hiring people based on six-minute interviews and without background checksānot to mention the evidence we can see with our eyes as they escalate situations and are overly trigger happy.
š« Videos of Shooting Appear to Contradict Federal Officials
āAppear to Contradictā really?! The videos flat out prove the government is lying. You can clearly see him holding a phone before heās taken to the ground by a group of gestapo. Then one of the thugs pulls the gun away from Alex Jeffrey Prettiās holster and runs away with it while he continues to be beaten on by the others, moments before they murder himāwhile heās on the ground, defenselessā in cold blood.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ALL OF THIS. Iām at a loss for words at this point. There are just too many hypocritical contradictions and lies and travesties happening every single day. If youāre not livid and losing your mind right now, if youāre okay with people dying so the rich can get tax breaks and the poor can lose their food stamps and they can kick a few brown people out of the country, then you can go fuck yourself.
Why is it this country has deported millions of people over the years, but now it requires warrantless searches, requiring people to have their papers, kidnapping children, deporting citizens, and murder to do the job now?
š Story/Day/Year
If you know anything about me, you know I love a good storyāso much so I started my own short fiction litmag, but thatās neither here nor there. Michael Staniforth is doing a review of a different short story every day of the year and itās been a joy to follow along.
š¤” Trump Links His Push for Greenland to Not Winning Nobel Peace Prize
āConsidering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peaceā
This is pure insanity. What a childish, insecure, petty old man. The narcissism and selfishness to try to take over a country for what you think is a personal slight is next level. And as every sane person knows, it wasnāt a slight because he doesnāt deserve jack shit; this only goes to prove that even more, along with every other action heās taken in the last decade.
š Adam Sandler: āI Will Make At Least 50 More Movies Before I Am Dead, and 25 of Them Will Be Goodā
When Sandler digs deep into a performance, like the one in āPunch-Drunk Love,ā thereās an eccentricity to it that most mainstream movie stars simply donāt have. He taps into something that I can best describe as wounded, awkward, and āquietly?ā explosive ā a kind of emotional instability that feels authentic. You have to endure the disposable comedies so that, every once in a while, Sandler can reach this type of performance out of the bag.
Itās wild that Sandler wasnāt nominated for Uncut Gems. I thought he was going to have a chance to win it that year, and to not even get nominated was a tragedy. When I see him show up in something thatās not a slapstick Happy Madison production, Iām always thrilled. Heās never bad, and often times surprises delightfully.
