Folks have also asked, “Is Elvis Grbac the sexiest man alive?”
The first sentence in this post cannot possibly be true, and if it is, then we’re in a dark age of ball knowing

Any journalist who has not at least once committed reckless disregard of leadership is not to be trusted.
It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

I feel for Damon Wilson II and his family here but this was going to happen at some point so the royal we might as well litigate this expeditiously to set some real ground rules.
NEWS: Former Georgia DE Damon Wilson II has sued the Bulldogs' athletic association and collective over a six-figure NIL dispute. He alleges they were part of a civil conspiracy to “penalize Wilson for his decision to transfer.”

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.
The admin is wasting no crisis... Sec. Kristi Noem said she is suspending the diversity visa lottery program (DV-1) after the Brown University suspect entered the U.S. through it in 2017.

I vehemently disagree with the critics on the premise of no business case existing for cargo container traffic to Coos Bay. Climate change is pushing Americans ever further north and west, and “too much port capacity” is not a thing right now in the PNW.

Coos Bay’s location and the highly competitive nature of transportation markets, experts say, make it unlikely the project can succeed.

if capital can't justify the operating costs of a newspaper in every city over a few hundred thousand people (even though this worked profitably for decades) i think it's up to the federal government to fund them and if red states don't like a bunch of big city libs reporting on them, all the better
"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

If you can believe it, January 1, 2026 marks ten years since the armed takeover of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. For Portland Monthly, I wrote about how the ensuing decade was dominated by anxious men and a culture of lawlessness.

Now that we know existing WNBA teams will be able to protect five players for the upcoming expansion draft to start building rosters for the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo after a new CBA is signed, I looked at what players could be available based on current rules: www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...
