Geez, in an effort to expand all these womens sports leagues are hellbent on alienating their existing fans as much as possible. This sucks more than I thought possible.

Fascinating! Our students in the Barstool class wanted to do a whole week on Call Her Daddy near the end of April, so I had to a quick deep dive into that world. I look forward to getting to assign this if I ever teach that topic again. (And, Theo's edit is amazing.)

I'm sure there's more nuanced analyses out there, but all these branded "waters" are a neat metaphor for how neoliberal policies steal public space for private profit.

Any time I see someone come out with a supplement line, I immediately hear that "is it a scam? Yup!" guy in my head. Selling magic potions, basically, and fleecing people.

The recent influencer-to-beverage-purveyor pipeline is so bizarre to me. I guess there is some eucharistic thing going on here where people want to consume a little bit of Alex Cooper (or Huberman or Logan Paul or etc.)

PS: Your friend Theo is my kind of person.
