Labor Day doesn't pop as a tier 1 holiday for events and celebrating, but imo it's the best time of the year. Hot weather going away, football is starting, fantasy drafts, favorite tv shows coming back, your kids get to fuckoff back to school, etc. It's a beautiful thing

Got a pretty decent sample size here at this point and if you strip out the "doesn't matter" votes, it's like 13:1 ratio here. Yes, this isn't a scientific poll, but clearly the announcers are annoyed by this mandate and viewers are overwhelmingly against it. Not worth it!

One of the very last Tressel era Buckeyes still in the NFL.... Great dude off the field. Consistently shined in the NFL. At 80+ sacks an interior lineman, he's not far off from making a strong case for the HOF. Happy to see him getting a well deserved payday.

The Cybertruck Reddit is now private because too many people were screenshotting owners talking about how their trucks are having signicant issues and making fun of them elsewhere on the internet (often going viral)

NEW: X is hiring two dozen trust and safety, and security folks, after two years of layoffs which gutted the company, and those teams in particular. For context, last year X disclosed that it had cut 80% of trust and safety staff in the Musk era. techcrunch.com/2024/09/04/x-i…

I guess I missed the initial news, but if you're wondering why The Sopranos has been going 24/7 all week on various HBO channels, they have a doc coming out this weekend and damn.... can't wait to sink my teeth into that. Looks good and reviews are good!

What's the nicest thing your dad bought you? Larry buying David Paramount to play with has to be one of the nicest dad gifts of all time.

ESPN helping "underserved" sports with AI. But you were the ones underserving these sports for decades. Now, instead of giving it the resources you've held back for years, here is a robot doing the work.

Media pet peeve: when people don't like criticism and will lazily will say we, or whoever, is "doing it for the clicks" That's rich because talking Cowboys and LeBron 24/7 is in what higher journalistic pursuit? Anyways this is what doing for the clicks looks like 👇

All for naught, but I believe the Ravens had Justice Hill 1 on 1 with Chris Jones the last two plays and he held his ground somehow on both plays pretty damn well.
