You can really find positivity anywhere. Even a nightmare gives you relief in the morning

Maybe the most profound thing I’ve ever read and it’s about chips and salsa.
Jun 12
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

My mom was telling me how my dad would stay up until 4am to watch World Cup games when she was very pregnant with me and I’m thinking that would be the perfect place to start the movie about my life.

This made me go look up his stats. I knew nothing about him before this gambling shit and he lowkey a baller. Shady individual though
From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: After speaking with more than a handful of GMs today, it's clear that Brendan Sorsby is viewed as a first-round talent. But will he go in Round 1 is a different question.

I love soccer because you can score zero goals and have it be the best day in the history of your nation

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell criticizes Trump's White House UFC fight:
Our government is desecrating its role in society by hosting sporting events. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

The Spurs Final Boss/Rodman Fan has been found, and he’s about as you would expect.
This monster is called “Thee Wallace” and he has a message for the city of New York and Knicks fans.
Finally we have the best angle (aerial mode) of the Spurs Final Boss in his natural habitat, fighting the entire city of New York and hunting a harasser that kicked at him.

Boarded my flight at DCA National airport. Come to find out, the president of the United States has paused ALL flights because of the UFC fight at the White House.
The air traffic controllers were not warned, nor were the airport staff or travelers.
