I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...
The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales Is Staying the Course.

Recently told some people who are about 10-15 years younger than me about this and they refuse to believe it.
Remember when McDonald’s had $0.39 cheeseburgers every Tuesday and Sunday?
A sausage McMuffin w/ egg is $5. Absolutely not.

I just hope everybody is open and honest about the fact that the first hugely consequential example of “Don’t give a fuck about the playoffs I’m trying to get paid” was a white 50 year old coach who was already a millionaire and not a player like all the old white dudes said it would be.

No idea if Chris Denson will be a good QB or not but it’s just amazing that he wasn’t utilized at all this year considering how dog shit their run game was this year. Especially in short yardage situations.

Casey is the best in the world at writing this specific kind of piece, she's been doing it since forever, we're blessed to have her curiosity and clarity on display for something that can be so nebulous both in the abstract and in attempting to visualize it concretely.
I wrote this piece because I only learned about pelvic floors a few years ago, despite having had one all my life. And then it turned out to be where I store all my issues. And then that turned out to be true for a lot of people www.wired.com/story/the-pe...
The Pelvic Floor Is a Problem
Everyone’s suddenly obsessed with the pelvic floor—physical therapists, MAHA influencers, me. Could this deeply misunderstood body part really be the seat of so much modern dysfunction?

Texas is one of the worst places in the world so I’m sure hot wheels will give him some sort of award.
South Carolina scores a TD to extend its lead over No. 3 Texas A&M (it's now 30-3 at halftime) and then deals with a shoulder check from a Texas state trooper. 🏈 👮♂️ #CFB

This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.
What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

Democrats flipped the Mayor's office in Lyman, SC in conservative Upstate Spartanburg County. In 2024, the county went for Trump by 66%-33%.
Congrats, Mayor-Elect David Petty. On Tuesday, Lyman, SC, voters chose a new direction. We can't wait to see how the next chapter for Lyman unfolds.

Wow idk how Maine dems are going to recover from the oyster man having a Nazi tat. I’m beginning to think they may have to do the unthinkable and fall back on the incumbent governor who is very popular.

Another year of sucking ass in short yardage situations. I like that we have an overpaid offensive line coach that Kirby Smart worked so hard he tapped out of the profession for two years but that isn’t a problem at Clemson.

The only other bad team Clemson has had under Dabo was in 2010 and they were way more enjoyable to watch than this current group. Fought hard all year and lost like 6 one score games. Almost knocked off Cam and Auburn in OT.

Played it up even more in the post game presser and I love how people will analyze his mood and tone instead of just realizing he’s a white southerner raised on pro wrestling who loves to play his part.
