I feel an experiencing of Hurricanes hockey on the horizon.

I thought MAGA’s whole thing was NOT letting criminals across the southern border.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

We've officially entered the part of the semester of online learning where it feels like my entire job is searching the logs to see who is lying about a thing.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

I love the Muppets and I especially love A Muppet Christmas Carol, but I’m not watching a fucking Wal Mart commercial on purpose.

Garland in particular was vehement that the Justice Department not be seen as a weapon against Biden's political enemies. Note: ignoring this kind of shit did not in fact stop Republicans from daily stating that the Justice Department was being used as a weapon against Biden's political enemies.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

The kindest interpretation of the relative media silence here is that the editors think news that Donald Trump is a rapist is "old news." And you're correct to notice that's not a terribly kind interpretation.

NC State athletics don't have "palace intrigue" money, but I'm very into the "nice house in the suburbs intrigue" of it all.

I thought there was nothing more pathetic over the weekend than right wing weirdos (derogatory) pretending they don’t understand the problem with the Ramaswamy ad, but I’ve just seen Packers fans whining about the refs not calling taunting on Detroit’s defense.

Reupping this thread because I'm not sure who convinced a bunch of Democrats that the way out of authoritarianism is to concede on EQUAL RIGHTS, but I can *promise* that it won't work. It never has.

I know, I know, Bluesky is a vacuum with no independent thought but... I fucking love that I've curated my feed to the point that I have no idea what this is about and am almost certainly happier for it.

Billy Corgan and JKR are the first two entries in the “you could have just shut up been beloved figures” hall of fame.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

State firing Doeren and Carolina coughing it up to Syracuse have somehow combined to make me think there may be some juice to the season finale between the two. Weird, regionally specific juice. Which is how college football should be.

This seems like a big deal

3-1-1 on the State Fair road trip is good any year, but great given the lineup quirks this year. Let’s go.

Is there a difference between St Louis and Edmonton? Yes. Should PK be #1 and Bussi the #2 based on what we’ve seen? Yes.

The coming weeks will be filled with weirdos (both complimentary and derogatory) who will have convinced themselves that not only is Philip Rivers the best option for next NC State football head coach, but that it’s absolutely going to happen. I’m not convinced either thing is true.

The thing about Doeren being fired and me living in Massachusetts is that zero people will want to talk to me about it tonight. (but they still might let me if it gets me to stop talking about You Can See Everything)

The Dave Doeren era is over, and will forever be a Rorschach test to Wolfpack fans with plenty of numbers to support whatever you want to say about his time at NC State.

That’s one way to make sure beating UNC doesn’t save his job-keep him from coaching it

Wait. Am I not supposed to be using my improv comedy group as therapy?

The GOP continues to be a death cult

Actually, looking at what Winnipeg actually settled for in the end, I’m not sure the future would’ve had to be mortgaged. But I’m still ultimately happier to have not made that move, an attitude I might regret from a purely hockey perspective down the line.

Was legitimately concerned early this morning when I saw talks had suddenly accelerated but no team named. I thought Bussi’s less-than-stellar night might have started a panic in Raleigh and the Canes were about to pay what the Jets wanted and mortgage the future for this guy.

SHOOT THE PUCK count for a game I’ve seen like 1/6th of is not great.

Overtime in an after dark setting is never ideal.

Tripp tying this high stick to the uncalled dive from earlier is top shelf commentary.

What a beautiful shot.

Criminal behavior. Holy fuck.

I turn on the Canes game and Bussi makes an aggressive poke check and loses his stick. PK must be so proud.

Go Bears. I was never worried.

Rome makes one unbelievable catch for every unbelievable drop and it’s maddening.

It’s beautiful.
