There are a surprising number of NFL wide receivers with hyphenated names.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Marquez Valdez-Scantling
JuJu Smith-Schuster
Amon-Ra St Brown

I can only think of one non-WR with a hyphenated name and that's Maurice Jones-Drew

I find Buddhism hopeful in the way that I always wanted Christianity to be when I was practicing it intensely

Part of the fun of the 2013-14 seahawks was that 49ers-era Jim Harbaugh was such a good villain.

I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that the best thing you can do to help your DSA chapter is to cultivate love and compassion within yourself

Huge congratulations to @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social for winning the mayoral endorsement from @somervilleyimby.org !! It means a lot that housing justice groups recognize that he's the best candidate. Now let's get him in office!

Do you have evidence of the NKT funding? I hear this claim brought up all the time but I’m not sure where it comes from

Worth noting that it's a bit reductive though. SMC and GW aren't "reformist" in any meaningful sense, and there are members of each who would describe themselves as communists

At the DSA National Convention, I’ve been struck by the need for a new kind of politics in DSA.

So we’re starting a new caucus. Provisionally called “Your Caucus”—directly elected, member driven, and for the first time, explicitly socialist.

Join us: yourcaucus.us

I think if there’s another 1m1v resolution proposed for 2027 (which I hope there will be) that the resolution would include restrictions on campaign spending in some form
