FMJRA 2.0: No Expansion This Year

— compiled by Wombat-socho Pete posted on the league Slack that nobody stepped up to take any of the four possible expansion teams, but a couple of the existing teams may get new owners since the existing owners have been excessively quiet lately.

FMJRA 2.0: The God-Emperor Works A Shift At McD’s

— compiled by Wombat-socho This is without question one of the funniest episodes in this miserable election season: Donald Trump working the fry station and the drive-through at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt. What Counts as ‘Misinformation’? (Hint: It Depends on Who Does the Counting) The Daley Gator […]

FMJRA 2.0: The Beatings Will Continue Until The Season Concludes

— compiled by Wombat-socho I’m trying to figure out what a miracle meant. What an awful week.
