the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him.

they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Everyone's saying that Luis Suarez received a ban for the spitting thing. So the "starting a brawl" and "headlocking an opponent" things were okay?

Oh, and MLS had better come out with similar bans for league matches. The world is watching.

Let's get clickbait out of local news.

We are a group of Idaho and Washington journalists, and our publishing company, McClatchy, wants the ability to punish us for not meeting arbitrary story quotas.

I haven’t seen a formal mathematical proof, but that sounds right. Only 4 teams can get to 8 points or more, so 1 point should do it. Of course, it would be nice to finish at #1, so let’s just win and remove any doubt!
