Thanks as always for your succinct and on-point commentary. I missed most of this since I cancelled my subscription and now have access to only a teaser preview of TGIF. But I’m at least spared the barfy humble-brags of the photo section and that weird lonely hearts bit *cringe*.
Michelle Styles often posts links like this for sites behind a paywall, but I’m not sure how to go about finding it. TBH, it’s not worth the trouble for a guest TGIF. Or even a Nellie original these days. I’m so disgusted with them.
The photo section is really weird. There are people out there planning trips so they can take an Instagram worthy photo of themselves looking at a fucking smartphone, hoping against hope they will be among the exalted chosen for inclusion.
This is pure gold, but leaves me with a dilemma - if I ditch The FP and switch to supporting Kevin's newsletter instead, I'll miss the subtle context gleaned from having read the TGIF article first. What's a girl to do?
Is tequila playing a role here? No criticism, just wondering. Because I had wine and I think it's emasculating. Like in a Free Press lesbian emasculating, Suzy Weiss sort of way.
Thanks for this link, Bruce. I didn't always agree with KD, but I don't always agree with Trump either, and having both around makes this world considerably more interesting.
Dude, our colleague Bruce Miller linked you in a broad discussion of your banning, and good on him for doing so. I miss you bro, and others do as well. "Disgusting communist pigwhore" is my new bar for measuring free speech balls.
During my time at Bari's rag, I probably agreed with the content of your comments maybe 50% of the time, but at all times I saluted you for living free speech.
I would ask how we can band together to punish TFP or make them do a tail-between-the-legs, apologetic reinstatement. But my year's subscription ends next month, and if idiots like this Herzog woman, Wiseman, and Nellie are what they want, and unfiltered commentary is not what they want, they clear as fuck don't want me. So I won't be around long enough to participate in the boycott.
I was just kicked off TFP for a week for mildly insulting progressives. They have no clue what they’re doing over there and it was a pleasure to cancel my auto-renew.
I don't know how you feel about Reddit, but if you want to start an anti-TGIF affinity group, I'd join it just to lurk the comments and keep my ambivalence about the 2024 race to myself.
I think this election is a win-win because Kamala-chameleon is either going to bankrupt the country or make Demoncrats look so foolish as to create a multi-generational defeat for them up and down ballot.
Also the media's status as Demon State Media / US Pravda will be indelible as well by then, and since they are really the worst institutions in the country, it would be good to let them see how low they can set their bars. I say we give them the rope then sit back with the tasty popcorn.

Would using that archive site make it accessible? Sorry can’t remember the link but someone must know

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it! (some lyric that got stuck in my head)
Pure gold KD! Actually the exclamation point works better now: Kevin Durant!
You are on a roll. Please don't stop!!!
‘I like it, I love it, I want more of it, make it hurt drill sergeant, make it hurt.. huh!!
Boot Camp cadence after getting your guts worked out, Fort Lost in the Woods (aka Fort Leonard Wood) late 80’s
Kevin next time make me squat thrust until my fucking heart bursts 😂
“More PT Drill Sergeant, more PT!”
It’s also a Tim McGraw song 😉
Didn't that dude play banjo with Dexys Midnight Runners? Jesus, he hasn't aged a DAY!
Hahahahha!
🏆
Eillene! (sp?) Nice. A little obscure, but good stuff
Too rah loo rah ayyy…
They had another song called Celtic Soul Brothers. It was featured in the Richard Gere vehicle Breathless. It's not U2, but it stomps Come on Eileen.
I’d like this but substack won’t let me.
Why won’t substack let me like this comment (and others)!?
Thanks. I’m using safari. It lets me like the article but not any comments
Eileen, one “l”. Great catch! https://youtu.be/6BODDyZRF6A?si=rD6Dpj9Cn-a36SoQ

Step 1 is dropping FP. Doesn't really matter what step 2 is.
KD? Quotes the parts of TGIF that are of any interest!

If you've had enough wine to make Suzi Weiss pop into your head, be sure to check the trash can for your balls in the morning.
😂
And brains? or both?
Thanks for this link, Bruce. I didn't always agree with KD, but I don't always agree with Trump either, and having both around makes this world considerably more interesting.

You're a lot like Peachy Keenan. Just not as imaginative with your nom de guerre. You cuss better

Keep being you, man. This is still America.
Is that Katie Herzog? She looks exactly what I'd expect the FP staff to look like.
My first thought was - who's the dude in the picture?

Who is Katie Herzog?
So, what do you really think? 😉 you would make the censors at Nextdoor and FB go into - snowflake meltdown- Kudos!!
KD? - We really need your TGI Ooooof today (Aug 16). AM really shitty piece authored by a cat lady with no kids, aka Suzi Weiss.

Off topic, but Thefp is selectively allowing commenting these days... Hmmm... Their version of the NY Slimes?
