The fact that there are still ads for cryptocurrency exchanges on tv is one step removed from a guy coming on the screen like: “Hi! I’m Steve Ponzi, and I want you to invest in my scheme!”

I mean the thing is, no, this isn’t fucking true at all. I’m not so goddamned self-centered as to believe I have to be specially catered to in order to do the bare fucking minimum to help keep fascists out of power.

When I watch the spring football game at #wsu, I’m always looking for someone who “pops.” On Saturday, that someone was running back Wayshawn Parker, an early enrolled freshman who did not look like one. That, plus other observations: www.podcastvseveryone.com/p/crimson-gr...

I want 1 dollar off my season tickets for every time Jordan Morris dribbles into the box without even considering getting a shot off

I truly want Brian Schmetzer to be able to write his own story's ending but I'm beginning to think that's not going to happen. The direction the squad is going is not great and he'll need to think outside the box farther than he's comfortable imo. Injuries or not it needs to be better. #Sounders

I may be biased, but I think if Biden let a “fuck Duke” loose at a rally, he’d go up like 5 points

Hating Duke is like the only thing that binds the nation

Giving up 100+ to Colorado is absolutely bananas. The Buffs are a much better organization offensive team than people generally give them credit for, but this is beyond the pale.

Holy shit

Don't ever read sports team injury reports it just serves to make you sad about sports

I haven't watched enough Iowa State film to say yet, but they're so trapping and aggressive that I'm less worried about the spacing issues we get with Chinyelu/Cluff on the floor. Big bodying them might pay off with them so spread out. I mean, not like the small lineup is that small in any event.

You might have noticed that WSU was very good with Isaac Jones as the lone big in last night’s win over Drake. But do you know *how* good? And why it worked? That + other observations + a preview of Iowa State in today’s newsletter! www.podcastvseveryone.com/p/last-night...

Treating "Biden weakness is more novel" as an objective fact about news values is screwy—people talked about Biden being alarmingly old before he entered the 2020 race, and it's cycling back around now because of specific choices made by the media

Absurd to say NYT wants Trump to win. This is how journalism works. 1. Biden weakness is more novel and thus bigger "news" (professional incentive) 2. Biden stories are of greater interest to NYT readership ($ incentive) 3. Being tough on Biden counters bias claims (prof./$ incentive)

Reminder that when SCOTUS wanted to nuke Biden's eviction moratorium and student loan forgiveness, they gleefully zipped right by the appellate courts. But "is the President a King above all mortal law" required inventing several months of delay so they can punt trial beyond the election.

Remember that DOJ sought expedited review of this issue from the Court last year (skipping the circuit courts). They refused and punted it to the DC Circuit, which took months; then dilly dallied all this time after the DC Circuit’s decision, before finally issuing a grant. It’s pretty transparent.

Reflecting on Claudine Gay & the concerted effort to smear & remove her (to “cancel” her), I am disgusted and dismayed. If we can’t learn to differentiate b/w legitimate criticism & bad faith attacks, if media continues to play the role of useful idiots, if our institutions won’t stand up for us…

If Trump becomes president again and acts on his plans to jail journalists who say anything negative about him—which includes factual reporting that makes him look bad—we can take solace in knowing that newspaper headlines will describe it with something like “President Pushes Back Against Critics.”

Liberals do truly hold some absolutely dogshit views but I think what differentiates them from Conservatives is that they genuinely think they’re having a discussion trying to figure things out and their failure to realize that conservatives are only pretending to do that is fucking everything up

Should academia give in to right wing extortion threats? Ross Douthat says colleges and universities better start treating free speech like conservative Hillsdale college—the higher ed model for Chris Rufo and Ron DeSantis in Florida—or DeSantis, Trump, and GOP state legislators will make them pay.

Just so we're all clear, it's still a war crime to blow up ambulances, even if you claim the enemy is inside one.

Israel confirms it targeted ambulance near Gaza City hospital, claims it was being used by Hamas

Cougs just don’t have enough speed.

I don’t like the third quarter vibes, Cougs.
