Michigan's football program needs a complete and total cleansing. The culture of hiding, silence, saying nothing, going "into a submarine," stuff I used to complain about and get destroyed on MGoBlog/et al for ... is complete and utter horse shit and it never stops. One giant cycle.

For any young broadcasters who follow me here, just learned that there are broadcast assistant/media relations openings at Triple-A El Paso, Double-A Somerset, Double-A Portland. Those are three stops where you would be working in great front offices with absolutely top-tier broadcasters. Go apply!

A billionaire describes a dark future, only to find out it’s actually the present.
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

Yeah, this went from "cheeky and fun" to "sad and tragic" in a hurry.

My kid got turned away from orthopedic urgent care today because of this. Infuriating.
UNC Health-Cigna contract expires; thousands left with questions about cost of coverage
Cigna members who use UNC Health systems will need to find a new provider, or pay much higher, out-of-network prices, or choose to pay out of pocket entirely.

Reading this piece about a gay hockey romance show on HBO Max and then I see the showrunner who adapted the work is Jacob Tierney, aka the co-creator of Letterkenny and Shoresy (and also Pastor Glen and Benoit “Benny” Brodeur)! This show has actual hockey bona fides! kotaku.com/heated-rival...

If you are on X or other platforms rife with antisemites, keep an eye on the word “usury.”
It’s becoming the new popular dog whistle. Very common usage now to imply that Jews are behind the economic problems of the world and the suffering people are going through due to inequality.

Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.
This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.
