Indiana has two 10-win seasons in program history.

2024 and 2025

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

now it's a party

Not me running in place trying to give Tau-Tolliver the juice to make it into the end zone.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will now have to bow to his own daughters. He was *such* an asshole and so grand about protocol that it will KILL HIM to no longer be a prince.

This is worse than prison for a narcissist like him.

I wish Virginia Giuffre were alive to see this. Her courage ended him.

Smith is not good

an under discussed angle of the louvre jewelry heist is that all the crown jewels stolen were from Napoleon III, the one no one cares about now. ooh wow you won the crimean war. big deal. get a life, bro

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

I know its VERY besides the point, but Mr. Totally Real Catholic boy posts a video of a king crowning himself. Newb shit.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

ME: "Girls, I'm going to a college campus today. Would you like me to see if they have a stuffed animal of the mascot for your collection?

KIDS: "lets see the mascot"

(shows them the Penn State Nittany Lion)

GIRLS: (visibly recoiling) absolutely not. Please do not bring that to our house.

it is more important to read books you actually enjoy reading than books that are Literature

Indiana has a really strong case to be ranked No. 1 in the country tomorrow, and I'm serious.

The best win of anyone in the country, and they pounded Illinois by a lot more than Ohio State did.

we've moved past "awwwwwww Indiana what a cute underdog story" and onto "Indiana can win the national championship"

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

If your imperial capital is on an isthmus you really should prioritize maintaining a navy

You’ve gotta admit it’s very convenient that 100 mph is basically the upper limit for how fast humans can throw baseballs. Pretty much the best argument against the metric system

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

Well don't I feel stupid

Wait fuck AM I autistic?!?

Dangerously Syracuse-pilled at the moment

In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

The Supreme Court has consistently and overwhelmingly been made up of elite, powerful, white men who have interpreted that law in ways that protect people like themselves. The Warren Court was a blip and much of that has been and is being actively undone. This Court is the norm.

I mean what on earth are district court judges supposed to do at this point other than get the message from SCOTUS to let Trump do whatever he wants to no matter what the law says.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Exactly. 90-year-old precedent, directly on point (FTC removal!), applied faithfully by the District Court to Trump's illegal action.

Then Roberts leaps in, before the Circuit Court can consider the appeal, to nullify it by himself without deigning to justify why, not one word of explanation.

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

Alexander the Great, the military commander of antiquity, didn’t burn his ships to motivate his men. Nor did he conduct any significant amphibious campaigns. Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador, is said to have done it in The Hunt For Red October (1990), but that is also somewhat inaccurate.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
