Big thank-you to Morgan Freeman for taking all the energy from the GameDay set and yeeting it into the yawning maw of nothingness.

Don’t know if I would call Lee’s competence limited, but he definitely enjoyed a lot more luck than the histories acknowledge. And he chose audacity because the alternative to rolling the dice was certain defeat.

Economic security for domestic manufacturers who refuse to build the economic EVs the rest of the world is buying in droves. National security against the Chinese while domestic law enforcement buys all the tracking data your phone and car are collecting without a warrant. Miss me with all of this

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov

Keeping Chinese-connected vehicles out of the United States is an issue of both economic security and national security. Read my interview with @roadandtrack.bsky.social www.roadandtrack.com/news/a710536...

Rightwing dudes: "Women shouldn't be in leadership. Women shouldn't vote. They're not rational like men." Also, somehow, rightwing dudes: "The hand of God teleported me to a Waffle House."

My grandmother had the following routine: 1. Fry some chicken in the morning 2. Place chicken on hotplate to keep warm all day 3. Serve to whomever visited 4. If no one ate the chicken that day, place in fridge 5. Next morning, chicken back on the hotplate 6. Repeat steps 4-6 until chicken is eaten.

I will never understand why people not only put web connected surveillance that they do not control access to on and inside their homes, but paid a hefty premium to do so. Absolute insanity.

Did the Mississippi Dept. of Revenue REMOVE the page that tracks donations to private schools under the Children's Promise Act?

I continue to be amazed at how Mississippi’s governor, hard as he tries to be “plugged in,” continually faceplants with the issues he promotes. A history of education legislation missteps going back to his lt. gov. days. Celebrating data centers HARD days before even MAGS says “no thanks.”

NEW: lawmakers in new york rolled out a proposed data center moratorium bill today, making NY at least the sixth state to introduce legislation pausing data center development in the past few *weeks*:

He is never right, he is weak politically in Mississippi’s system, the rest of the MSGOP didn’t even bother to hide the fact no one liked him, and yet he’s a two-term governor.

This was the plot of one of Tom Clancy's novels. Of course in his book it was liberal environmentalists with a plan to wipe out humanity.

Towering over them all is Tiny Tim and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he’ll never die.

Comfortably Boo@numb.comfortab.ly

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, his body surrendered to the sand in a slow, irreversible negotiation with eternity. Where a boy had been, a vast segmented body took shape, ring after ring locking into immortality.

I wonder if Andre de Gruy gets tired of giving the same interview every year for a decade…

As a Christian, I've always felt Christians tend to hunt carefully for things to feel persecuted about, because the Bible tells us we WILL be persecuted if we're doing it right, and none of us are being persecuted, so..... scary thought.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

No. Christians feel persecuted because there is a vast media apparatus telling them that they are persecuted. There is no evidence whatsoever of large-scale discrimination against Christians in this country.

I wonder how much online conspiracy/qanon/unhinged bullshit is a result of men reading fewer and fewer books every year. Used to be these people would be stuck in an 800 page Tom Clancy novel, not bothering anyone. But now they don’t even do that anymore. They’re online talking to each other.

The r/hunting subreddit is collapsing on itself as thousands of pro-Trump outdoorsmen attempt nifty ways to explain away the administration's plan to privatize and exploit public land. Mods keep deleting comments and locking posts, to no avail.

Maybe the outdoors community should have spent the last 20 years pumping money into actual conservation efforts instead of rallying for AR-15s and the NRA.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

One thing I never see mentioned in this debate is that existing private schools are NOT going to swing the doors open and welcome hundreds of new students. The rejection rate will be enormous. We're going to create a few thousand education nomads. mississippitoday.org/2025/02/09/p...

I am going to put together a thread covering RFK Jr's confirmation hearing for the HHS secretary job. Follow along for clips and commentary.

Maybe what this country needs is some sort of line of demarcation, so maybe states on one side of the line can bounty hunt immigrants and those on the other side can opt out. I will do a quick search and see if there’s any precedent for this.

Our for two days, just saw the news about Paul Gallo's death and it reminded me of the part conservative radio played in the rise of fascism in America. We get real upset with social media and video games and the radicalization of white men, but brother conservative radio was doing it 20 years ago.
