not what i expected with all the DT injuries? but i’ll take it

One of the biggest failings of 2024 was the way media reported that People Are Voting For Trump Because Of Inflation And The Economy and almost never pointed out that a Trump presidency was clearly going to make inflation and the economy worse

How quarterbacks have performed in expected pass situations so far this year:

Trump Administration to Stop Measuring Food Insecurity

The Trump administration took away food assistance from millions of families and kids to pay for tax breaks for giant corporations, then cancelled the government’s study on hunger.

Another disgusting attack on working families.

Amazing thanks! Love these graphs.

Gotcha. But is it right to intuit that DAL's bar for inside zone, while being at a 60% SR, is much larger than the bar for counter which had a 100% SR, because they ran a lot more inside zone than counter? (Sorry if I'm missing the obvious here).

Is the width of each run concept representative of the % of snaps that concept was called?

Josh Allen had 251 pass yards in the 4th quarter, his most in any quarter in his career, per ESPN Research.

not in the top 10 things that's objectionable about this but speaks to the idiotic illiteracy of the trump supporters that they watch apocalypse now and think kilgore is cool. the point of the character is that he sucks and the way he sucks is emblematic of why the US lost the war!

Ha! The poorest 25% of workers LOSE money under this bill while the richest Americans get a $270,000 tax cut.

They can rebrand all they want. The facts are the facts. They screwed working people to help their billionaire and corporate donors.

Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

Trump, in a Move With Little Precedent, Says He Is Firing a Fed Governor

I caught Trump taking a homeowner tax exemption on his Trump Tower suite while living in the White House. If falsely claiming a residence for financial benefit is cause for dismissal… www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

Bojorquez booming preseason punts today really felt nostalgic.

The NYT editors are meeting every day, workshopping a passive voice phrase for Martial Law

Part of the beauty of this —and what makes it stand out from literally every other thing you see in official political communication, from any party—is that it shows someone appreciating without any shred of condescension the dignity of this person's life and the value of her work

this is going to be a dealbreaker for a legitimately massive cornerstone of the Trump electoral coalition, which is People Who Think The President Can Stop Food Chains From Changing Their Logos And Want Them To Be The Same As They Were In 1985

PIN THIS TWEET:
- Rent control ≠ rent stablization
- Neither rent control or rent stabilization have ever been means tested
- Literally every apartment built before 1974 is subjected to either rent control or rent stabilization, unless it was deregulated in the 1990s

I AM LOSING MY MIND

What are the Mets (complimentary)

An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me

Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague).

This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.

IT’S NOT RENT CONTROL

a tiny, tiny sliver of NYC’s housing stock is rent controlled, an old an nearly obsolete policy. Mamdani has said many times it’s rent stabilization, which is quite common (1M apts) and different.

Cuomo should know this imho!

This is a big one. I've shared the 1978-1993 PBP that @quirkyresearch.bsky.social and I have put together over the years with Pro Football Reference. You can now find all the play-by-play back to 1978 there and in their Stathead query tool. Enjoy!

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity which funneled federal funds to public media outlets such as PBS and NPR, will wind down operations by Jan. 2026. Many in the general public have no idea how much programming will be hurt by this. https://loom.ly/zwzBIWI

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Future space BFFs Data and Geordi are talking in Ten Forward. Camera is focused on Data. Closed caption reads, "I can now look forward to death."

New @today.yougov.com national poll out.

Absolutely wild how distorted the public’s view is.

(Murder rate in NYC is down 83% since 1990.)

Eroding protections for public lands Trump policies reshape the role of federally owned land, against the tide of U.S. public opinion

Congress has passed hundreds of laws protecting federal public lands over the past century through bipartisan efforts and with the support of local governments. Now, Trump’s administration is pushing policies and legislation that upend these protections.
