Ratboys Are Playing the Long Game The nicest indie rock band in Chicago has finally uncorked its true soundβ€”it only took 16 years. We catch up with the humble, hard-working Ratboys and talk about swinging for the fences with their new...

Ate hotdogs, got tiki drinks, and holed up in a snowstorm with Ratboys, who've never sounded more like their truest selves than on this album

Protest breaks out at Dilley immigration detention facility holding 5-year-old Liam Ramos A protest broke out Saturday at the ICE-run South Texas family detention complex in Dilley, where five-year-old Liam Ramos is being detained.

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain β€œbugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

in 1973, basque separatists killed spain’s fascist prime minister with a bomb so powerful it launched the car he was in clear over a five story building. he survived the initial attack but died in the hospital

it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse and all i can really get to is that i hope hell is real so that these evil fucking ghouls pay the price for unleashing violence and evil on regular people just trying to exist and help their neighbors do the same

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

exactly β€” fundamentally it’s a loser mindset, stop inventing reasons for the decision and just say you don’t want the smoke

-wouldn’t happen
-the game is loadbearing in the sense that both sides should obviously want to continue playing a great rivalry, but beating usc again and again has barely mattered for nd in the recent past β€” whole lot of good it did for us on the bubble this season

riley is quoted as saying that the β€œkey” to extending the series is if β€œit just doesn't put you in a competitive disadvantage on access to the playoff.” he literally advocated for playing only in the context of auto-qualifiers and the removal of stakes. anti-competitive nonsense

and that’s the clear reason the series is off! i don’t understand trying to retrofit justifications with random scenarios here. usc leadership said they wanted this to happen, and it happened.

…what? if usc wins that game they get a playoff bid and maybe nd doesn’t. why are we twisting ourselves into knots with random hypotheticals to pretend usc hasn’t been publicly trying to escape this game for over a year because they don’t want stakes attached? come on.
