Blatant Homerism: Who needs luck? β€” Through the Keyhole Were the Oklahoma Sooners a lucky team in 2025, and what does the answer mean for the 2026 team?

New article for @keyholepod.bsky.social on the idea OU was lucky in 2025. I also looked at a couple interesting college basketball coaches for… reasons.

Looks like "Paradise" is going to do a time travel thing now. Is it not possible to come up with a different theme for these shows?

I'm as tired of the "if this happened during the Biden administration..." thing as anyone. But it really is demoralizing to know the media would be hounding a competent White House over this, and here it's just a regular Tuesday.

That seems like a Gordian Knot of a message - "Vote for me because I will undo the unpopular policies of an administration that I was part of"

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists β€œviolent” and said they are involved in β€œriots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents.

β€œThere’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to familyβ€”more than familyβ€”checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me.

If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it β€œneighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that β€œit is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, β€˜I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
