What new quarterback Darian Mensah brings to Miami Hurricanes New Miami QB Darian Mensah brings a strong downfield passing game to the Hurricanes after putting up good numbers at Duke.

NEW: Darian Mensah is a Miami Hurricane. What kind of quarterback is Miami getting?

I looked at some of Mensah’s advanced stats to see how he compares to Cam Ward and Carson Beck.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Would it have been more understandable if the Gestapo had been hunting non-citizen Jews?

Because Vichy France sure had no problem sending β€œforeign” Jews to their deaths!

Parity is good. ACC champion Duke can’t hoard all the talent forever.

As was reported last night, new UM quarterback Darian Mensah and wide receiver Cooper Barkate have both signed with Miami, I can confirm.

Every scene, with the constant gunshots and yelling or crematoria smoke in the background. Just brutal.

Another movie in the same vein is HBO’s Conspiracy about the Wannsee Conference.

They’re discussing mass murder on an industrial scale, and it’s just like … a meeting.

I actually just got around to watching it this week.

I didn’t love it. I can respect the work, but I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again.

The sound design was bonkers. Reminded me of Skinamarink and creeped me the hell out.

I am extremely, extremely high on Miami's offense for 2026.

QB: Mensah
RB: Fletcher/Brown/Lyle/Pringle
WR: Cooper Barkate
WR: Malachi Toney
WR: Jacobs/Vaughn/Moore/etc
TE: Lofton/Gilbert
OL: Some combo of Okunlola, McCoy, Cantwell, Rodriguez, Buchanan, Meriwether, etc.

I think he's going to be very good. I've been high on him since he was at Tulane.

If you’re going to come at me with antisemitism but leftistly by bringing up Israel when I’m talking about completely different Jewish history or antisemitism, I’m just going to mock and block you. No patience.

I’m not Israeli. I’ve never been to Israel. I don’t care what Israel’s opinion on Russia and Ukraine is. I care what America does about Russia and Ukraine. Because I am an American.

YES! I highly recommend it.

Also excellent Holocaust books:

-Laurence Rees’ The Holocaust: A New History

-Saul Friedlander’s The Years of Extermination (the second of two books but I didn’t read the first)

Exactly, β€œhumane” for the SS.

I just watched Consoiracy, the HBO movie about the Wannsee Conference. It’s based on the real transcript of the meeting. And they’re joking about Jews β€œgoing in red and coming out pink.”

Just a total lack of humanity.

Two horrible points on this:

1. Some countries (France comes to mind) β€œtried” to protect (for a time) β€œtheir” Jews but were fine with deporting β€œforeign” Jews (refugees) to their deaths.

2. Many Jews who lived in Germany/W-Europe had just fled deadly pogroms in E-Europe and thought they were safe

Antisemites really can’t help themselves when it comes to talking about Israel when anyone mentions anything that has to do with Jews.

Unfortunately, there were too many people across Europe who were more than happy to take advantage of Nazi genocide.

Nothing to do with what I’m talking about. If you feel the need to respond to any post about Jews with criticism of Israel, that’s a you thing.

Responding to a post about the Holocaust with stuff about Israel when no one mentioned Israel. Normal stuff. Definitely not antisemitic.
