I get really put-off by all this snarky, performative "sportsball" mockery, as if sports are only for dumb jocks and beneath the consideration of me, the vaunted intellectual (i.e. "person who sits online all day"). Athletes are artists. Artists of the human body and of physics. What makes that any less worthwhile of an endeavor than some pedantic nerd shit?

Happy one-day belated 100th birthday to the great #MelBrooks . One-of-a-kind, impossibly funny and charismatic, and an examplar of #comedy as a #philosophy of life. (He's smoking in this clip and he just turned 100. Could laughter really be the best medicine? 😂 I doubt it's an accident that the Buddha is often depicted as laughing.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sdf05KmENw
