Anyone here with political aspirations, please take note. We live in an era, policy-wise where there is such a dearth of humanity that if you simply allow basic fundamental baby-brained levels of human decency to guide your policy it’s like 99% certain you’ll be goddamn Superman to the average voter
NEW: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Thursday he will not continue sweeps of homeless encampments — which city data shows have not yielded any permanent or supportive-housing referrals in more than a year.

Absolutely. Good writing and clear thinking amplify one another.
Unfortunately, the same is true of bad writing and muddled thinking.

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

Every old dumb idea in education that we end because it is dumb is eventually repackaged again as somehow not dumb
"This means that score gains likely came from a combination of funding and accountability." cbnewsletters.chalkbeat.org/p/would-more...
Did scaling back school accountability and testing pressure hurt students?
Critics say ending No Child Left Behind and moving to the Every Student Succeeds Act can help explain declining test scores. Here’s what the research shows.

I wish there was a precedent for what happens when a demagogue picks out a vulnerable minority group and labels them as subhuman. I wonder what the next step is and whether any innocent people get hurt. And I wonder whether the demagogue's followers go on trial when the whole thing is over.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

WSU has been to a lot of bowls in the last decade, so getting to another one isn't that impressive in and of itself.
But in the context of *this* season under *this* coach, I make the case that it's actually hard to overstate just how tremendous it is to finish 2025 with six wins:

Just about every coach has a shelf life, and Shulenberger's expired at WSU about 5 years ago. Incredible accomplishments and also probably did us a favor here.
