we are gonna need so many trials someday and not the nice kind
that ultimatum is a compliment, by the way. I think Taylor Fritz works his ass off and has forced questions about where he belongs, tier wise. You are the well-earned fourth seed in this event. go beat the player having a worse year than you.
what are you, man. are you competing for these titles or not. because this opponent is now a full tier below The Standard for that. Are you keeping pace or not
I am going to say something controversial. I think that it's important that Taylor Fritz wins this match. I think that he should treat it as substandard and unacceptable not to win this match.
literally yes
i would go so far as to say that a ranking of the Saint Paul Norms is essential
i did MY job in this equation. did he do his?
has he still not come out and spoken
looks like he brought a bag lunch
ian you can't be posting images like this
okay but when does the Torture begin
according to this youtube discussion I'm reading you're supposed to just try to hit through each other or something lol. i'm losing brain cells reading this
the court is the size of an elevator. just walk over there and hit it back lol
I've just learned that it's against an unwritten rule, bordering on "cheating" to hit a dropshot in Pickleball. lmao
i keep forgetting that's happening and every time I remember I gasp
the entire state of Minnesota has been downgraded to "Questionable" on the injury report after this post
"that won't happen" yes it will
I think probably the funniest thing that will eventually happen is that, when It Occurs, you'll get prominent liberals reflexively doing the "well we didn't always agree on everything BUT" thing, along with suggesting how it's a good time to welcome people across the aisle
i am going to act bad
i have intentionally avoiding digging into any rumors or anything regarding the thing people are talking about. when it arrives I want it to hit me like a truck
if your bluesky timeline is not 100% posts making fun of bill belichick and his flunkies, you are using this website incorrectly
the smallest semblance of a habit or routine--fifteen minutes! anything!--is gonna feel like Your Rock pretty soon and you'll be grateful you have it as a building point. just set the easiest goal imaginable for yourself and start hitting it (unsolicited, sorry, I just am vexed by this a lot!)
yeah
McCaffrey or Jeanty. bonus points for having a succinct answer quickly please lol
ladies and gentlemen.... we got him
Bill Belichick has been placed under arrest following a nationwide manhunt.
My personal friends I used to party with are my age too. This isn’t weird
you just can't say it!
alright. sure
alright, i've had enough of the three poisons at the at the core of the bhavachakra. it's about time someone hit that snake with a big rock
I've gotta figure it's because Sissy Graydon Carter of failing Vanity Fair Magazine and owner of bad food restaurants has a problem-his V.F. Oscar party is no longer "hot"
Brian Kelly needs more time to prepare for week one games
Salt has to be one of the absolute worst things your wife could be turned into a pillar of
there are a few ways to make sense of it: eugenics and using disease to cull the population has a long fascist history, but also the idea that nothing *actually* matters beyond controlling a narrative is a core trump belief, so telling people we are healthier than ever is the same as being healthy
maybe I'm just getting older and crankier. but people who love going to other stuff also say this about their events! so I don't think I'm too skewed
playground for fratty finance boys to drink seven cocktails at $20 each and start shrieking like gibbons no matter what the actual etiquette of the thing they're atttending might require. Not surprised you've got CEOs stealing from kids there
Obviously I love the event and that's enough for me. But I would never go to this as a casual fan. Everyone there is disgusting and acting like animals lol
when I tell you that fan behavior at the US has deteriorated in a way that is genuinely revolting I need you to believe me
Saddest thing in the world is a cartoon mouse cutting off paper-thin slices of a single bean for his dinner
Fired+
Kalen Deboer is going to invent the premium tier of getting fired
would anyone with an internet connection like to talk about the Florida State Seminoles
this account only calls balls and strikes. Arch is starting to sling it a little
alright. nice ball
Shout out to the guy at Grumpy's this week who was wearing a big cowboy hat, a shit eating grin, and an Arch Manning jersey. Rare type of guy in Minneapolis. Hope he's holding it together.
this is the nail in the coffin
cheers my friends. today we are eating well
The Texas coaching staff doesn't think Arch can throw them to victory in this game. Not sure why anyone else would
4 Arch completions, 2 Arch commercials. will keep the ratio updated as the game progresses
the new OSU kid is very obviously better than Arch Manning already. thanks
They're calling it "the wrongest post of all time"
"83.3% of LLM users were unable to quote even one sentence from the essay they had just written"
Rybakina was unbelievable yesterday btw. one hour of pure firepower, it was awesome. one of the most fun displays i've ever seen in person
Anyway I love Adrian Mannarino and I love when people who aren't familiar with his stylings are subjected to him
I think the fifth set would have been a coin flip. I hate that Shelton got injured. I also think the rhythm of that match at that point was very much not in his favor and that he had some serious thinking to do if he was gonna get through it. Would have liked to see him try to solve it.
by late in the fourth set it was total aesthetic victory, full capitulation. the drunks were on "he's so consistent, what do you even do against him" lol. One of the most satisying progressions of chauvinism into bewilderment I've ever seen. I was feasting.
Ben started to punch himself out, IMO. working way harder than the guy just bunting the ball back. And the genuine trickiness of playing Mannarino showed up, the dull rhythm, the weird depth because he's playing with a trampoline racquet. and suddenly "this guy sucks" turned to "wait a second"
First set, I though Ben played awesome. Had a plan, didn't overplay, really looked like he was gonna roll. Or I would have thought that, if I wasn't familiar with The Adrian Arc
I had a feeling going in that he would give Ben problems. So when the disgusting men started in about Mannarino's shitty outfit and "girl speed" serve I got so locked in. Adrian and I were now taking on everything rotten about American culture and we were going to do it one point at a time
now, if you know me, or are a true sicko like me, you know about Adrian Mannarino.
we're seated for Ben Shelton. Stadium starts filling up because he's deservedly a huge draw. the drunkest, most hoggish finance boys I've ever seen sit behind us. And when they see the strokes of Shelton's opponent, they start talking shit. "He can't even hit the ball," "how old is this guy," etc
sat in Armstrong all day. saw my queen Elena Rybakina put Emma Raducanu in the blender and then.... and then I watched something that can only be described as one of the more beautiful morality plays of our time
went somewhere very special yesterday
Oh sorry, I didn’t see your post. I was on the “Popular with friends” feed. My bad.
asked and answered. thank you @tbone.malware-virus.biz
is uh. something happening with the big man. i've been off social for three days, am only seeing dodgy posts about it
Overnight, this extremely well-funded tech company run by a billionaire has gone from “There’s no way we can possibly stop our plagiarism machine from convincing children to kill themselves” to “If you type anything we don’t like, we’re calling the cops.” Either way, they take zero responsibility.
anyway. time to send some emails!
they do """emergency drills""" at daycare. the thought of my child even inhabiting that headspace for a second, just "practicing" it during a normal day, makes me basically black out for a second
it was a few blocks over from us. even that doesn't feel like it matters. We're all next to it and we're all in a different world from it
who cares about the usual screeds that we all feel like doing after something like this. they don't do anything, they don't mean anything, we just absorb it like we absorb every other American horror and keep going about our shit until the next thing happens
just at a total loss for thought about yesterday. bottomless horror
this piece is very much worth your time
I mean, they were going on about bipartisanship and distractions when everyone was on X too. They've never listened to critics on the Internet about this stuff and they never will.
"it's another tequila sunrise" haha just kidding
they're turning The Troops on our own cities and Elizabeth is right there to make sure they don't have to wait too long for repairs
have you seen what they've been using the military for lately, Elizabeth
"The experts thought we'd be good and we were actually dogshit so really, who is the idiot now" is an incredible post from an owner lmao
I would get a lot of joy out of sharply curtailing what many people mistakenly view as their own personal freedoms. haha
I sure hope that no one has any opinions about this
Discourse Threat Level Red
a cliched and crank take but: everyone forgot how to act in public, post-Covid. movie theaters, the subway, coffee shops. Makes sense that that ethos now infects tennis tournaments too
everything I've heard from people attending the US Open and everything I've observed on TV suggests that fan etiquette has just totally deteriorated huh. I mean listen to Ashe right now; it sounds like a school cafeteria
one of the most maddening athletes going lol. Stop doing any of that!
another wonderful time going insane and flying into a fit of rage watching my favorite tennis player, Coco Gauff, compete entirely against herself!
this is the part that's genuinely very funny yes
Tommy Paul is the player I'm most consistently tricked by. Every time I watch him and he gets going I think, "this is the American with variety and feet that I've been waiting for." Then he'll do something dumber than anyone could have possibly imagined and I awake as if from a pleasant dream
Cmon Coco
lots of fun chatter about Carlos Alcaraz's new haircut in the opening few days of the tournament! But don't be fooled: the haircut sucks
as the air gets a hint of a nice fall chill in it, consider the Yeti™️ suite of temperature-control products for all your autumn needs
I'd go Zero Dark Thirty mode. like Lebron in the playoffs
One day—not so long from now—you will hear a symphony of car horns honking, and people cheering in the street, and music loudly playing in all directions. And after a brief moment of being perplexed, you will know exactly what has happened.
well it just goes to show!
if either my Gym Teacher or English Teacher had been anything like that I would probably have ruined my own life by now one way or another
