whats so wild is that before the season, multiple MAC admin types were telling me "UMass is spending actual money in the portal. they took transfers that we wanted. We lost dudes to UMass."

they weren't supposed to be GOOD but I was hearing that they should have been at least competitive!

Tarik Skubal is a back-to-back AL Cy Young winner. He's the first repeat winner in AL since Pedro Martinez in 1999 and 2000.

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

They're gonna need to plant a grove of trees to offset the stink of this Clippers season.

In the situation room?

there are “bad” numbers and then there are “take a hammer to the system to be sure no one ever sees these” numbers

10 minutes ago Michael Gold Congressional correspondent 山 The White House and Republicans had earlier accused Democrats of cherry-picking documents and ignoring mentions of other officials, including Democrats, in materials produced by the Epstein estate. The release of the additional documents seems designed to bolster their case, though it will be hard to tell without more thorough review. 11 minutes ago Michael Gold Congressional correspondent Hours after Democrats released three emails in which in which Jeffrey Epstein discussed his relationship with President Trump, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee made public 20,000 pages of documents that it received from Epstein's estate. The committee had requested a trove of documents from the estate as part of its investigation into Epstein, his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and the federal government's handling of both of their cases.

I wish journalists could act like they weren’t born yesterday. An uncurated document dump out of an investigation shortly after focused evidence is released is an expression of panic, a desperate wish to distract, and perhaps a hope that someone will find something they haven’t yet.

so uh, what was Merrick Garland doing

no question that hegseth hates guys with beards because they make him feel insecure

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

sucks for the other cities tbh

Divine intervention/amazing moment tonight in college basketball: Loyola Chicago just won at the buzzer on the opening night of the season—mere weeks after the death of Sister Jean.

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed

a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

THEY HAVE NAMES?!?

Texas and Oklahoma are both out of the bracket right now, based on AQs to the ACC & G5.

Fair.

Even assuming he's playing hurt without a running game this year?

Moore ain't going. Nussmeier, though...

What's the harm in an arm punt?

College football thought I keep having: what if instead of paying like $5 million (more?) to get Carson Beck, Miami had gotten current Heisman favorite Fernando Mendoza, a Cuban guy from Miami who played for the same high school as Mario Cristobal

LSU is realms above the other two.
