Big manly men.

Pat McAfee says he was "uncomfortable" during Utah College GameDay and alluded to the Charlie Kirk killing. This all comes after a school video of students commenting about him upset him. Also said he might not show up if GameDay goes back there. www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

I’m a little worried that if the Wolves go 82-0 and then 16-0 in the playoffs, and win every game by 20+ points, we’ll never figure out if they’re strong enough to deal with adversity.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

The media is going to do the exact same thing whether you make a cutesy crack about Trump's decorating or call Trump a deranged, corrupt pedophile who is putting kids in gulags and plans to destroy democracy forever, so you might as well do the second thing imo.

Nah, that’s the energy vampire

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

I generally agree with this. On the other hand, it would be super badass to walk into the White House and watch all the lobsters with rubber bands on their claws walking around in the tank.

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

Incredible zone beater movement from Ayo Dosunmu on this 2Q ATO vs Orlando. Timberwolves go Horns alignment, step-up ghost screen into a flare screen for Anthony Edwards. Ayo Dosunmu sneaks through to the opposite corner and cans the three.

Last night, I went to see a surprise movie at the theater that turned out to be The Thing (1982, dir. John Carpenter) and then went home to watch the Wolves kick the ever-loving shit out of the Heat. 10/10 would recommend.

Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.

Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

Unconscionable to be on “X” at this point. Just a cesspit. Except for banking; I do my banking there & don’t see a problem.

This just flat-out fucking sucks.

Just in: Sacramento Kings guard Ben Simmons is believed to have sustained a torn Achilles tendon at practice Sunday, sources tell ESPN. A suspected season-ending injury for Simmons after rejuvenated and impressive training camp and preseason performances.

if we're gonna do gladwell discourse, i would be remiss if i didn't bring up his argument that an all-time nigerian basketball team would be the best single-race all-time basketball team. among many interesting claims, he argued that the starting point guard for the nigerian team would be steve nash

ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

You should pay property taxes but only when you have a mortgage is a bizarre belief

Eyeballing Jack Reacher right now. Big guy, obviously, but I don't think he sees me coming. As a henchman, this is the sort of moment that makes or breaks your career. I think I should go for it.
