This is apropos of absolutely nothing but I have been thinking about best-of-quarter-century stuff and I still say that Free Solo, a documentary about climbing, is one of the five or at worst ten best horror movies of these 25 years.

Heritage Foundation and their ilk aiming to legalize sex discrimination in employment.
Chris Rufo—a prominent anti-DEI crusader—-says the “idea that private companies should be able to prioritize hiring married men w/ families is completely within the bounds of rzbl debate, &…it's absurd that individuals cannot hire whomever they want [ie, discriminate] in their own companies…” 1/

Depressing NIU football season ends. The failure of Hammock as head coach is hard to watch. Never going to advocate for an alum to "come home" to the job again, even if for age reasons I'll never be quite so emotionally invested in that coach again

OPINION: How to fix the 2028 Democratic primary (ranked-choice voting is not the answer)
Aaron Kleinman writes, "Adopting RCV would face too many hurdles and doesn’t seem to solve any of the issues with the primary process. But another option could do the job much better."

The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine
The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

This week's NT text feels too close for comfort:
The day of the Lord will not come (until) the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes & exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple, declaring himself to be God.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”
After reading Carl Sandburg's "Chicago' poem in full in open court this morning, Federal Judge Sarah Ellis says this about our city:
It should go without saying that is she correct & Donald Trump is lying. #chicago

Ellis: Federal agents described a number of protestors as "professional agitators" based on their use of whistles, in part.
"Describing neighborhood moms and rapid response groups as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are and how incredible their statements are."

If your favorite sports journalist wrote an article today that said "here's what the Yankees need to do to beat the Dodgers tonight" you'd ask them why they are writing about today as if it's still November 2024. Keep that in mind as you read most current political punditry.
