there are so many big reasons that it's wrong to have just a few people hoard so much wealth but one of the smaller ones is those people no longer have anyone around them who will tell them their ideas suck and they're a fucking dork

: The NFL is reviving its Accelerator Program after a one-year hiatus, but the league will now invite non-diverse participants into the program originally created to increase and advance minority talent at the highest levels of teams. Story to come.

Here's the NFL capitulating to the most unpopular president of all time.

i don't think the outburst was premeditated at all! but i also think trying to say she's seen the light or whatever after joining ICE in 2025 and the MN DOJ after is ridiculous. you either have to believe she was so foolish she didn't understand what she was doing or that she's fine with it.

honestly can't figure out why she's not running as a Republican save for that she just doesn't want the label hung on her even though it's pretty clear that is what she is

oh absolutely. i genuinely believe that people (not her! other people! better people!) should always start smaller, more local, both in terms of learning about your community and getting experience campaigning in smaller-stakes environments.

and of all the offices to run for, CD5, the district that was absolutely hammered by ICE, the place she was proud to work. running as a Democrat. against Ilhan Omar. Look, *I* could get more votes in that primary, and I am an idiot who yells on the internet for a living.

voluntarily joined ICE in April 2025 and is proud of her work there. voluntarily became a special AUSA during ICE surge. had a meltdown in court that, while entertaining and confirmed a lot of people's priors, was revealing about her character and abilities, not in a good way. sure, run for office!

The dining room starts to cheer. Then they remember Transgender Chili’s is, nevertheless, Chili’s and fall silent.

I assume this is an attempt to pivot to some sweet right-wing grifting, because it cannot be a serious campaign, come on.

This is fucking terrible but I can't stop snickering about how the headline makes it sound like a manager of the Transgender Chili's was fired and hell yes would eat at the Transgender Chili's

100% this. And perhaps what I run into with the Hold Steady is that I already have Springsteen records (which I don't mean snottily - I will defend their cover of "Atlantic City" to my dying day, but more that they can feel superfluous)
