She just threw the troops under the sub.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

Executive meeting:

"Our competitor has a lousy product, the vast majority of people surveyed don't like it, and their leader is tired and disliked by a large majority of the customer base. But they have a catchy slogan. How should we compete?"

"Obviously we need a catchier slogan."
This will probably get me yelled at, because I can see the consensus forming here that "strong floors, no ceiling" is the dumbest of all possible slogans. I would argue that it's actually not that bad, but that it's wrong for this moment (please read 🧵before yelling at me)...

Looks like the Dolphins Defense converted a 2 point conversion on a Pick-2.

Who fucking cares?

There are other comedians worth learning and watching over this guy.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

An absolutely meaningless game.

The conference title games need to be part of the playoffs.

Ok, that was pretty spectacular.
Big time win tonight.

They paid off Pat Fitzgerald, too, instead of firing him for cause and posting him nothing.

So much for higher learning.

He did make them count.

Almost on one hand.
This is the second time since 2006 (at Arizona) the Bears won when their QB completed less than 50% of his passes and had a passer rating below 60. The other was the 2024 season opener.

The wind played a role tonight, but once again, Caleb Williams made his completions count.

Having been through a few of these, I can tell you this is bad.

The downstream support activities are always disproportionately impacted when there is an outage of this magnitude even if “It’s about the best day of the year for it to happen — it’s pretty quiet.”

Post mortem will be brutal.

Rhea Seehorn gets massive credit for basically acting alone and holding the screen by herself.

But Plur1bus is simply a slog of a show.

Feeling gassy after Thanksgiving? Take a fart walk.

Light exercise after a big meal can help. Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down.
