Alt perspective on this: If a leader takes time off offered by organization, he makes it ok for other people who work under him to do the same. It establishes a boundary that can help with culture. There have been NUMEROUS stories in recent yrs of coaches saying they want

The Patriots are back in the Superbowl. Still doesn't feel real a week later.

I have officially retired from competitive chess for the foreseeable future.

Superbowl Sunday should be a national holiday.

I'm sorry, if your alternative to Bad Bunny is Kid Rock, you're more or less confessing that your problem with Bad Bunny isn't the quality of music, the vulgarity, the decadence, or anything else...your problem is that Bad Bunny is Hispanic and often sings in Spanish. Which is

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a very charming show. It's not early Game of Thrones level of writing, but it's enjoyable.

Been on a Ghost kick as of late.

Rats is still my favorite song, but I can't listen to it without thinking of Skaven since I got into Warhammer Fantasy.

The Great Gatsby. Terrible book. And I hate it openly.

What do you do when you can no longer monitor the situation because you're being sent to it?

Nothing ever happens bros, are we cooked?

We as a society do not hate the naysayer enough.
