Pundit-brained and media-obsessed. He's such a waste of time.

Two years into war in Gaza, advocates demand Gov. Beshear to take a stance The two-term governor was in the early primary state of New Hampshire on the second anniversary of the brutal Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

Wherever she acts tough around a fighter jet, I can’t help but think of Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights.

And why is our healthcare system is so strongly linked to our market-based economy?

Back lurking on Twitter for first time since Musk. Always thought its main advantage was that its reach was broad enough to have its finger on the pulse of breaking events.

But now that situational awareness is overwhelmed by a flood of constant conspiracy theories and instant political deflection.

Except one critically important β€œrule” here (non political DOJ) wasn’t actually a rule; it was a norm. And now it’s broken. We need written rules now.

The next Dem nominee needs a really robust vision for lasting political reform if ever the US is to expect the world to trust it again.

Yeah but he'd be the underdog no matter what. My guess is that he'd prefer to ride off into the sunset, vs a brutal Senate race that he would probably lose, and might taint his nonpartisan legacy. IMO, this still isn't enough of a reason not to run for Senate, but it's up to him, ultimately.

Yeah I agree that’s probable. I don’t it’s just the loss the though - heβ€˜s faced bad odds before. More like it will be brutal for his legacy or family.

I’d get it if itβ€˜s family thing but otherwise I think he needs to run for senate. And that’s me changing my mind.

Itβ€˜s an interesting story - that we may never hear - as to why he doesn’t want to run for Senate.
I can imagine some reasons (family? legacy?).

But personally my opinion has shifted from excitement about his presidential run to thinking no, wait, he really DOES need to run for Senate.

That sounds right to me. I always assumed it was a concocted consultant-led argument to help politicians sound anti-woke without sounding too mean, by taking shots at language rather than singling out a marginalised social group. In that sense, it’s tolerable, but more so awkward & unnecessary.

No mention of Zougris. In my mind's eye, this seems to track from the Tennessee game last season where UofL got manhandled. I could see him coming into physically tough games.

The dilution of competition is one thing. But the risk of injury just keeps going up with more and more games. What’s it going to do to the game’s β€œbrand” when an NFL-bound star player gets a major concussion or a torn ACL in their 15th game of the season?

vladimir putin, in profile against a blue background, smirking a little. he's shaking hands with donald trump, who's facing the camera, slouching, hunched a little, looking to his side with his mouth sort of screwed ruefully into one corner. he's the damp, fallen, swollen-faced expression of someone you'd assume was shitfaced

I mean, crazy talented coach who bright is back to prominence. In all honesty thanks for the good times, Rick.

But let’s not let a philandering narcissist set the narrative here. He fucked up and left the university with little choice.

I don’t get this. He may’ve dodged direct blame, but the series of events that resulted in the program going off a cliff started on his watch. I feel his β€œinnocence” is based on UofL fans missing winning, and realising that we could’ve legalistically gotten away with keeping him. Am I crazy?

Getting 450K from one of the leading donors to AIPAC really adds some context to Beshear's coy statements about not publicly criticizing Israel. Very disappointing.

I know the name but little else. But in my imagination, he fits a particular niche of artist: the guy whose albums you always see at your unhappily-married aunt's house.

Yep cost cutting in government is a big thing. My opinion is that it comes at the expense of good representation, which is worth paying for. State legislatures are filled up with trust funds babies and businesspeople because no one else can afford only getting a per diem payment when in session.

I like the sentiment, but when I think more about it, maybe we need to make public service more appealing to normal people and not just megalomaniacs and narcissists.

Next year could be UofL's best backcourt...ever? But all the same, I am starting to get the sense that next season could still become the Mikel Brown show, even with all the other pieces.
