No team can struggle in 2026 because they use analytics because everyone does. They may struggle because they used analytics *poorly* but not for the simple fact they use analytics.

I genuinely wonder what the fuck the people who are in charge of universities think universities are? Like in their mind, what do they believe is the point?

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

At least we know in the hours before the attack Hegseth was laser focused on keeping Americans safe

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

He’s absolutely right that prisons and other detention places were bad under Dem presidents. And know what today’s critics of ICE did then? Complain abt it and demand change. Is this just a lame deflection, or do GOPers like this genuinely not understand that not all ppl put party loyalty first?

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the release of "Blazing Saddles," the plot of which involves business and political interests leveraging ordinary people's bigotry in an effort to obtain power and financial gain. People like to say that that movie couldn't be made today. Shit, we're living it.

Oh, you know, just a metro daily newspaper running a service journalism roundup of munitions the government has used against its own people

Holy shit.

📌We must never forget how quickly all these pathetic universities, corporations, and media outlets surrendered to this murdering fascist regime greasing the skids for all this.

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.
