🤯 this is terrifying. Please excuse me while I go figure out if my nephew knows how to read properly.

I’m assuming the drone show wasn’t rented by the university but it was fully a Pepsi thing and App just had input in the other content.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Oh boy is #rapturetok triggering for those of us who grew up evangelical.

Story time! My first real panic attack was at 8 years old when I thought my parents had been raptured (they were next door) after a screening of a Billy Graham movie.

Shawn Clark, UCF O-line coach and former Appalachian State head coach, dead at 50 Clark coached offensive line for most of a two-decade career in college football but succeeded Eli Drinkwitz as App State head coach in '19.

Days before the 2019 opener, App State assistant Shawn Clark convinced the staff to hike "The Knob." They won, so they did every game week, including when he became head coach. I did it with them once.

An incredibly nice guy. He loved App so much. RIP. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

While I understand the discourse isn’t always nuanced, the AE jeans campaign is giving tone deaf marketing execs that didn’t listen to the perpetually online staff who objected.

Sending wine to that millennial woman who has been texting the group chat “I freaking told him!”

Really didn’t think we’d be replaying my senior year of high school the year I turn 40.

At the moment there are exactly 3 types of posts:

- Fuck fascist ICE
- Israel commandeered Greta Thunberg’s aid ship
- THE TONYS!!!

there are queens and then there's the woman who made sure the scathing songs about her ex were so iconic that his whole career would be defined by them

Has anyone considered the possibility that they legit think they are negotiating with China, but are actually the prank victims of a drive-time morning zoo radio program in Shanghai?

i'm so sorry but the pope cannot be a name I doodled on my notebook approximately 396 times in the eighth grade

Sometimes I don’t think we can get any dumber takes on manufacturing and then some dumb blue checkmark proves me wrong.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Catharsis.

Congrats on the new gig!

Truth Social is where the man who thinks he runs the country announces his latest move. X is where the man who actually runs the country gets his ideas for the president's next move. Threads is where people proudly resist both of them by patronizing a different billionaire who agrees with whatever the president says. Bluesky is where people are absolutely furious with the president's latest move and know exactly who to blame: the headline writers at the New York Times. Facebook is where people think the president's latest move was opening a casino for dolphins in Gaza with Jesus and they love it.

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

Be Prepared Trump is sabotaging the economy, but we shouldn't assume public opinion will follow automatically.

There is much and mounting evidence that Trump loyalists know he's done grave damage to the economy already. Which means they knew they were lying about the strong Biden economy they inherited, and will be lying intentionally, too, about the Trump recession when it comes.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who has been one of the most vocal critics of his party’s approach to Trump, said in an interview that the spectacle from Democrats was “sad AF.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said that while he understands “the emotion behind” such outbursts, they are “not my style.” In an illustration of how sharply Democrats are split over how to take on Trump, one of the party’s rising stars, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Florida), said his colleagues’ rowdiness on Tuesday was the point. He was among a group of Democrats who departed before the end of Trump’s speech. “It is rude. It is disrespectful,” he said. “That was the whole point of it — to disrespect him.”

This is literally the problem: We NEED to be rude. We need emotion. These fuckers are destroying democracy & hurting people; our elected Democrats *should* be pissed. When they're not, they're essentially gaslighting the rest of us. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

US employers cut more jobs last month than any February since 2009 | CNN Business The Trump administration’s massive federal cuts and swelling feelings of economic uncertainty helped fuel a recession-level spike in layoffs last month, new data showed Thursday.

"It’s the 12th highest monthly job cuts total in the 32 years Challenger has been tracking them.

"The 11 others (4 came during the Covid pandemic) all occurred when the US was in a recession..."

coach dowell talked to the media for 33 minutes so here’s a recap Kind of an out-of-nowhere press conference on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Been 13 days since late National Signing Day, Spring Practice ain’t starting for a little bit longer and President’s Day …

Yes, I recapped all 33 minutes.

At the Deathbed, by Edvard Munch, 1895

all of our goals were ahead of us: the failed five years of shawn clark – preamble This is the first of several posts coming soon examining the corpse that is the five seasons of Shawn Clark, going from December 2019 through December 2024. It was Thursday, Nov. 7 in Conway, South Carolina. After being battered in the first quarter, a weekly occurrence at this point, the Appalachian State Football team had a chance to draw level at the stroke of halftime.

Five years ago Shawn Clark took over coaching his alma-mater fresh off a Top 20 finish. After missing a second bowl game in the last three seasons, Clark got canned. Where did it go wrong?

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.
