This is insane. David Wright was a better player than all of these guys and it wasn't close. Like, I wouldn't argue against Utley, but Wright needs to get in first. 60% vs. 15% is insane. The voters are drunk.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and Trump's personal Gestapo is randomly executing American citizens. But at least now there won't be any non-binary characters on the new Paw Patrol spin-off.

As in, their training is a reckless disregard for the lives and safety of other people.
They are not just evil in principle, they are instructed and programmed to hurt people.

Oh look, he got injured by a car six-ish months ago because he was being stupid and escalated a situation unnecessarily.
I remember during the BLM protests, one of the proposed reforms was to not try to damage or attack a moving vehicle.

I promise I don't mean this in a scolding way, posting about non-horrible shit is totally fine, but seeing video of what happened in Minneapolis interspersed with posts confirming which prospects are going to the Marlins for Edward Cabrera is making me feel fucking insane.

🧵 It's so important to remember that the administration and all its functionaries are always lying and bullshitting, about everything except for the desire to hurt designated outgroups. Humoring them is a trap. The norms of discourse don't apply because their utterances aren't attempts at discourse.
This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.
This is very bad.

These are also the perils of hiring a head coach based on a search firm rec. The blatant disregard for the well-being of these young men is pitiful. Every Regent should be voted out if they accept this. Every last one. This is as irresponsible as anything Warde has done.
You can't say in one hand that you care about culture & protecting/developing young men and hire an active member of the Church of LDS. Like fuck all the way off. I don't care if there hasn't been an NCAA-style "scandal" under his tenure – give me 100 instances of Connor Stallions style nonsense.
Just want to be clear that I don't want an active Mormon running University of Michigan football. I already have to deal with enough Christian bullshit that comes with the territory, I don't want my school being led by a cult member.

My annual Christmas reminder: The letters to Santa are not why Santa was found in court to be Santa in "Miracle on 34th Street." It was because prosecuting Santa Claus looked really bad politically for the judge and he was looking for any excuse to let him go. The moral is: Work the refs

Most unsettling Christmas song lyrics:
3. "Holy infant, so tender and mild"
Why does it sound like we're cooking a baby?
2. "He sees you when you're sleeping"
Self-explanatory
1. "Giddy up, jingle horse"
I don't know what a "jingle horse" is, and I hope I never find out.

Probably because journalists aren't calling the shots, the business managers are. Same thing with Google Search results – the search engineers were made to serve revenue people, not the other way around.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why news organizations are adopting AI widgets like this, especially when they're pinned to the top of an article so that readers see them before they ever see the text.
It's practically begging readers to not read the things you're paying people to write.

No one wants to coach at Penn State and I for one think that's very very sad. Terrible. Tragic, even.
Sources: Jeff Brohm has turned down overtures from Penn State to remain at Louisville. He and the Louisville administration continue to work on new contract terms that should be finalized in the near future.

Being up 6-0 on Ohio State is ....good. But it's going to hurt that they didn't punch in one of those. Pushing them around isn't enough when we're also outgunned.
