I don’t really care about college fb and was pulling (mildly) for Texas but I do kind of hope someone asks Arch Manning on Monday if he saw the AI video of Holly Rowe slapping him across the face when he returned to the sideline after throwing the pick six. And the other INT that lost the game.

This will take its rightful place in the pantheon next to “totally exonerated, no wrongdoing” if Hamilton ultimately wins. (I’d still bet against, but he’s got a shot.)

What stage of mid-life reactionary crisis do you have to be hitting to be a political reporter tweeting about how cool and funny new Chapo Trap House is in the year of our lord 2026

Here’s a prediction: Brown will do better vs Husted than El-Sayed vs Rogers. This is not a value judgment! It’s a guess about how people will vote. (And I’d guess both win.)
