being caught abusing a dog on tape is now an 'islamophobic blood libel', truly wonderful levels of derangement from the nepo baby millionaire fans.

lol, here's some incredible college football content. In the hype video Oregon posted after Penn State, Dan Lanning lectures his team on broken windows theory, but it's pro-breaking windows.

"Each time we get a stop on defense, that's a broken window." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwSH...

a screencap of Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning standing in front of a projector screen displaying a slideshow. The current slide has a headline "BROKEN WINDOWS THEORY."

You know, up until this moment I thought that what goes on in his head is that he's just an idiot who failed to distinguish between dismantling the myths of your own nationalism and adopting the myths of another. But now I think he is just a contrarian troll who doesn't care about Palestinians.

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

During a government shutdown, the Trump administration is bailing out Argentina, whose president is fond of saying, “The state isn’t the solution, it’s the problem.”

David Gura @davidgura.bsky.social · 17h

Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. has “directly purchased Argentine pesos,” and the Treasury Department has “finalized a $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina’s central bank.”

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

REMINDER: Every time someone says “autism rate,” substitute it for “autism diagnosis rate.” They’re two entirely different things, but that’s what they mean.

Having been around a whole lot of Jews on the Spectrum (including a bunch in my family) and being aware of the basic concept of "genetics," I think I can come up with another explanation here.
