I'm sure Drake's week isn't going any better than how Courtney Love felt after that Trent Reznor's "I play a game, it's called insincerity" song on The Fragile--although, lately I've been bringing up NIN references in everything. What can I say, it's my perfect drug!
I am not lying when I say that the NFL plan sounds more credible (not to mention, safe and effective!) than most of public policy. At least, I think there's a lot of truth to the notion that many people will simply not care about anything apart from their bread-and-circuses type of entertainment. This is part of the reason why I find "we can't even *empathize* with people far away 'cuz we have so many problems at home!11!" (courtesy of our friends Mr. Dave N'Busters and Chobani ;) to be an unconvincing excuse, especially when it's coming from people who'll spend hours talking about Lily Philips or something. And inb4 da Newmanoids, I'm not saying that one shouldn't spend any time on what's fun/trivial/entertaining (I watched 10 Cobra Kai episodes today), but the doublespeak kills me.
P.S. I will never not love the "not yet a woman" preamble you add before a short piece hahaha. I am an American football neophyte (yes, I pay more attention to the footb- I mean "soccer" World Cup, I'm sorry!), but as usual you have the ability to digest inaccessible topics in something even someone like me can comprehend! There might be hope after all.
P.P.S. Also, *I* remember Andrew Yang, AND I knew of Tulsi Gabbard back in '20! Don't I get a prize for being a goffik?! ;)
Also, I felt disappointed in the broad generalizations made in this post. You’ve lost me for a reader as a result.
Americans are extraordinarily diverse and hard to label. Texas alone is the size of France and contains within it the most diverse city in the world, the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, dedicated rock climbing national parks, liberal, high tech companies, NASA, some of the largest gay pride celebrations, side by side with mega churches and oil refineries. As disappointed as I feel in my country right now, I could never demonize my entire population-in fact it’s one of the reasons why I’m here on Substack. I personally don’t watch American football but I am a poet, a chef of French and Asian cuisine, a lover of art, education, travel and teaching. I know a great many Americans who do not fit the description you gave to portray us all as just one vile stereotype. Please consider the harm a post like this does to further dehumanize Americans at a time when an autocrat and his billionaire buddies are dismantling our country from the inside while destroying our humanity. Americans are protesting everyday in every state and we have broken the phone lines in Congress with our call volume to our representatives. We need more humanity at this time, not less.
Fuck the NFL and fuck rap hiphop along with all pop culture since at least 1945 if not 1865 if not 1005.. These retards are all blasphemous muckleheads profaning everything good wholesome and holy. Excommunicate them all now before they annihilate us with their nastiness.

Even with those incentives the Cleveland browns would remain a perennial trash dumpster fire team
Hahaha! This is true and a metaphysical certitude. It also gives me an excuse to share two of my favorite videos:

We need more humour at this time, not less. 😘
Right? Forget the four humours, a lot of people don't even have one! :D

I have to admit, pop music *has* been going downhill since the early 11th century.
