If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking
Then we might as well have a parade
Oh captain my fucking captain
REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

The Hogs should be up by ten on these bros but the refs spotting the Sooners a solid six points isn't helping.
Boy, these officials in Norman, Oklahoma, are straight ass.

As an aside, the weird use of "steady state" strikes me as an obvious use of a LLM (for two sentences, lol).
Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

We've got white bean chicken chili. We've got Chile's Bar and Grill queso. We've got a margarita (not pictured). What we've got, can't nobody take away from us.

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”

Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

Throwback to the time that every big sponsor in Arkansas filled their pants when Jeff Long suggested modest modernization to the University of Arkansas season ticket situation. Pretty UA - Little Rock got an entire new basketball arena funded on the back of that NWA hissy fit.
Some drama on the Hog boards with our old boomers, who are no longer being allowed to keep their seats at donation levels that haven't changed for them in 30 years.

Frankly, I'm a little pissed to know we had been allowing that to begin with and it's taken this long to fix.

In her defense, the US has been awfully quiet on the "newsworthy happenings" front the past month or so.

Remember when DHS passed around a secret memo telling agents to disregard the Fourth Amendment?

And as leadership gets swapped in and out, it reveals the spineless nature of the people who are perpetrating this. That revelation isn't just a win for us–it also takes away the resolve and gumption and steel of the occupying storm troopers as well.
Yes, they will "just" bring in someone else. Yup.

And they will spend time doing it. And they will spend resources. And confusion will be layered atop chaos & authority will be undermined & wicked people will fight amongst themselves. And they will be weaker.

And we'll keep pushing. And we'll win.

Spielberg is, somehow, supremely underrated. Dawson was right about that guy.
Don’t think we can give enough credit to Steven Spielberg for creating an entire series based on melting, shooting, crushing, decapitating, punching, and incinerating Nazis
whats some good movies that involve a lot of nazis dying

I'd be curious (honestly!) to hear what kind of work that they do there that they think is good.
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com

"In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this."

An anonymous source said to have knowledge of bovino's mindset stated that bovino was afraid to lost his job so early in the year, as he wasn't sure what he'd do until December when he would "get stuck back on that goddamn shelf until Christmas Day."
sources describe an incident in which a packing bovino was "jumanji-d" inside a toiletry bag for unknown period of time.
Reporting live from Minnesota, Bovino picked up his helmet, fashioned from half a ping pong ball, wound up his motorcycle and cruised away

My favorite thing about this song is the immediate impact it has whenever it comes on. You're guaranteed an instant, full-chested sing along with a bunch of other fantastic bastards no matter where you are.
of interest: found, in my photos on my laptop, a pic from the hotel notepad on which I started work on "no children." I mention in the "This Year" book that this began on a boarding pass envelope. once I landed and got into my room I did this. "Derrida" I think refers to thoughts about erasure etc

Opinion | Will Rahm Emanuel Finally Eat A Big Ole Bowl Of Dicks And Go Die Away From Me
Rahm Emanuel's “combination of policy talk, moral reflection and candid critiques of recent Democratic fixations is distinctive, and there’s impressive political savvy in what he foregrounds and how he frames it,” argues Frank Bruni.

a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

Now that The Odyssey is about to do the ole pop culture circuit, I wish that I could bet on things like "Mike Huckabee will make a joke along the lines of '8 years away from his wife? Sounds like the movie should have been called The Vacation!'"
The cool thing about my sensibility nemesis Christopher Nolan adapting the Odyssey is that I've come to see the idea of wandering the earth for years lost and totally out of contact with your home culture in a new, more positive light
