This past Saturday was special, just as so many Saturdays are. And we're throwing it all away to expand the playoff to 24 games. Congrats, Tony Petitti, you’ve paved paradise and put up a parking lot. awfulannouncing.com/college-foot...

One reason people are suspicious of centralized federal power is because people like this think that states and localities cannot possibly find experts, and that only the central government can find and employ them. Expertise is not the sole property of federal bureaucrats.
Oh man I cannot resist this one. What if it is the case that those federal bureaucrats are THE PEOPLE WITH THE EDUCATION EXPERTISE that could help promote better education outcomes? It seems to be you have written a word on two about the wisdom of listening to such people.

If, as seems to be the majority view here, you dislike the prospect of a world where human journalism and analysis is displaced by AI slop, have the self-awareness not to act annoyed and offended that the human labor of writing sometimes requires compensation.
If you respond "paywall" to someone posting an article link, I'm going to block you in a heartbeat.

Speaking for myself, I find the idea that allowing Ken Paxton of all people to become a US Senator is somehow in the best interest of trans people (or immigrants or Muslims or the country as a whole) to be self-destructive and risks further alienating trans people from our allies
Okay, don’t go find and harass this guy, but: it’s kind of alarming to see this specific kind of madness spreading, about a vital race that is a coin-flip. Important to squelch this kind of thinking with extreme prejudice. Talarico must win.

I'm convinced that this is just a big a reason for the tariffs as any (misplaced) economic claims: Tariffs give Trump discretionary power, and he likes being the sort of guy who can use govt power on a whim to impress people (in this case), or in return for other favors.
Trump on his golf course announces he’s going to take tariffs off Irish whiskey. I guess our trade emergency is over!

Listen purity Dems. Your protest vote or non-vote won't "bring on the revolution" - it will only speed up the end of civilization. I suspect you don't care, which makes you complicit. But if you DO care, please open your eyes and let's get rid of the fascists if we even still can? Thanks, nice chat.

Deshaun Watson has completed only one pass over ten air yards in two games, btw.
Full back-and-forth with Browns QB Deshaun Watson as he was asked about getting booed in his first game back at Huntington Bank Field after he ruptured his Achilles back in 2023. "It has nothing to do about the performance. It's a little more personal than that so, that's a disrespectful thing."

"We heard you all demanding free PACER for years, so here's the solution we came up with: more expensive PACER."

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.
This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?

I think it would be a good idea for D politicians to be declaring this publicly, pre-emptively. They should state it as an abstract, legal proposition: an order by the President to seize Greenland would be unlawful, here's why. Trump does not have the legal right to attack a NATO ally. Say it.
If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
