Guess the #Gophers need a boost. Donate to the Chair-ity, everyone!

Yesterday we mentioned ending streaks so time to move back into living memory and talk about 2013, when #Minnesota finally ended a 16-0 #Nebraska run that had begun way back in 1963.

Here are the all-time Chair-ity metrics for you #CFB stats nerds. A lovely graphic provided by Team Jack.

Can the Gophers get on their horse and win the donation competition for the first time since 2020?! Will the Huskers continue their donation domination?!

YOU decide.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

I fully believe the theory that's going around that ICE has deliberately been recruiting from far-right militia groups, and the masking and refusal to identify ICE agents have been doing is an attempt to obscure that fact as opposed to being intended to "protect" them.

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

I'm sorry, but stop fucking asking them questions about Bad Bunny, we already know they're gonna say more racist shit. The government is shut down and they're refusing to swear in someone who was just elected by voters and this guy is a big reason for it.

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com · 7d

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
