The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try.
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

One of my best friends in high school was a Spurs fan, and he introduced me to them. I lost track of them after high school, but when my friend passed nearly twenty years ago, I started watching again as a memory of our good times together.
❔How did you end up as a Spurs supporter?

For me, it was in 2001 when my hero, Kasey Keller, joined the club. He didn’t play much that year but I quickly grew to love Ledley King and Simon Davies.

What’s your story?

I think if I had a Nazi tattoo, and I wanted to be famous and hold elected office, I would have that shit removed, unless I was seeking the votes of people who are more likely to support me because of my Nazi tattoo.

The RFK number seems like a massive failure of the media to explain what RFK is doing to our public health system and how catastrophic it will be

You can tell this works because "One Billion Americans" is enjoying broad popularity and is widely supported by readers of Matt Yglesias
A critique I hear of me sometimes is that I don’t believe in changing public opinion.

What I would say is that I don’t really think *working politicians* should be focused on changing opinion, that’s the job for everyone else — go out and persuade someone!

It's funny, but now that Frank has been sacked, I don't really feel like I have a lot to say about Spurs. I think they will stay up comfortably, I don't think that ownership is any closer to having a clue, and I think the football will remain pretty mediocre. The season feels done to me

The thing is, Pedro Neto isn't great, which is why since signing him, Chelsea keeps trying to upgrade on him.

Fuck all the way off with this disingenuous bullshit, like it's the language and not what the words meant.
The billionaire INEOS owner, Jim Ratcliffe, said in a statement: 'I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern'

It's shameful for Arsenal of course, but also just a disgrace for the entire league and UEFA. Any football fan should question whether they really believe their club would do better and endorse reform that would force them to
One day there will be a reckoning for how Arsenal Football Club dealt with this case. And I’m afraid that includes the manager

The Trump administration is trying to divide Jews from other marginalized communities at a time of rising antisemitism and fascism, by forcing Jews to choose between supporting ICE or rejecting federal security funding. It is an unacceptable choice,. www.jta.org/2026/02/11/i...

Nothing more Mike Elias than passing on giving real money to a pitcher to sign someone over 35 to a one year deal

I may not get a good Spurs season, but Forest getting relegated is my remaining big hope for the season
Nottingham Forest have sacked head coach Sean Dyche after four months in charge.

Dyche’s last game with the team was a 0-0 draw with the Premier League’s bottom side Wolves, in which Forest had 35 shots.

I'm just some guy, but I guess the thing is that there is no way to prepare for the industrial revolution. It changed the lives of everyone in such multifaceted, unpredictable ways. If it is life-changing tech, then the change will be beyond our imagination. We should know our values and be true
I confess I do not understand why “the left should prepare for the worst case scenario with AI and jobs” seems to have elicited such a strong negative reaction bsky.app/profile/chri...
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Forest getting 16 shots and no goals against Wolves in the first half is a nice present to the future Spurs manager

The answer to what plagues Tottenham Hotspur FC is fan ownership. Obviously, not all the mistakes that have led to the men's team's current malaise. But the malaise has been deepened and rendered more existential by shambolic and disorganized ownership. As fans we can hope that the Lewis family...

I mean, I'll bet he's quite bummed about it, feels strongly like Frank deserved at least one more match
February 11, 2026 at 3:41 PM
Well Sky Sports is all in on De Zerbi because clearly one of you used the monkeys paw to finally get Frank out
February 11, 2026 at 12:32 PM
I just think it's funny that his defense of himself is to say that 8 months of his leadership and over £100m of his signings is not enough to improve the team because the team is such shit
Frank: "I undestand the frustration. I understand that the easiest thing to do is the point at me. That's fair. I work day and night to do everything I can. But it's never one person. I think it's fair to say that this is the situation the team was in last year."

It's not me, it's Ange's fault
February 10, 2026 at 11:14 PM
In my Sickos Yes mode, I kinda want them to commit to keeping Frank through the end of the season just to see what happens as a social experiment
February 10, 2026 at 9:22 PM
When Spurs do sack Frank, I suggest a new manager who is a recently retired player so they can suit up alongside the u19s who are all the healthy players remaining

I think that Bard College ought to sack Botstein
