One thing about watching this Indiana team this year is realizing how many cfb commentators don’t know ball at all, are dumb as shit, and rely too much on brands when sizing up teams. #iufb

Got to see another one of these during Oregon!! #iufb

there's probably going to have to be a new constitution (or extremely amended current one). When I say complete tear down, I mean complete tear down. The last 10 years have shown that the backstops put in to prevent exactly what founders were trying to prevent didn't work.

Listen, the sooner you get on board with accepting that we're going to have to do a full tear down and rebuild of the federal government, the easier it is to deal with the daily shit show. There's no going back to the way things were. That life is gone. Start thinking of how the next part will look.

Looking forward to seeing more of the Tyrique Tucker dance today #iufb

Super unfair that they let Mendoza ride an invisible bicycle on this play

That #iufb win in week 1 is looking better and better.

The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force established in Executive Order 14252 of March 27, 2025 (Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful), shall establish an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience to apply to join Federal law enforcement entities to support the policy goals described in Executive Order 14333. Each law enforcement agency that is a member of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, as well as other relevant components of the Department of Justice as the Attorney General determines, shall further, subject to the availability of appropriations and applicable law, immediately create and begin training, manning, hiring, and equipping a specialized unit that is dedicated to ensuring public safety and order in the Nation’s capital that can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate, and that could be deployed, subject to applicable law, in other cities where public safety and order has been lost. ( (ii) The Secretary of Defense shall immediately begin ensuring that each State’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized, and available to assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law. In coordination with the respective adjutants general, the Secretary of Defense shall designate an appropriate number of each State’s trained National Guard members to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization for such purposes. In addition, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure the availability of a standing National Guard quick reaction force that shall be resourced, trained, and available for rapid nationwide deployment.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

On the other hand, students at Brown University could take direct action by spamming those comments, making them worthless as a tool of the investigative state.

Come on guys, time to think of creative ways to resist this madness!

The Wall Street Journal has published the most anti-science editorial I have ever seen, celebrating a victory against "climate imperialism" - ie. efforts to respond to an accelerating crisis that is endangering hundreds of millions of lives and is on course to end organised civilisation.

This morning, federal agents arrested & search homes of multiple people who were protesting against ICE arrests in Spokane on June. This is a photo from the father of one of the protesters

“The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden,”
What a colossal gaslight that was.

...until the land sink collapsed.

From 1990 to 2023, GHG emissions decreased 43%, more or less on track.

However, the sink has turned into a source, meaning net GHG emissions have increased 8% from 1990 to 2023!

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.

The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.

Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

and they announced Dan as "Former Vice President", while Pence was standing there, clearly expecting to be the next guy out... He backs away, chagrined, lets the Quayles through, and then is announced only as "The Honorable Michael Pence" LOL

Economic growth could fall 50% over 20 years from climate shocks, say actuaries Exclusive: Report by risk experts says previous assessments ignored severe effects of climate crisis

A new report out today, co-authored by Exeter Professor, Tim Lenton, warns that the global economy could face a 50% loss in GDP between 2070 and 2090 unless immediate policy action on risks posed by the climate crisis is taken.

Oh man, even Oprah?

Her description of the disintegration of the country from the national down to the neighborhood and even household level was really stunning. It was the first book that made me think yeah, that sounds really plausible.

YouTube video by Ruth Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas "Outtakes"

If you haven't seen them yet, the Emmet Otter outtakes are life-alteringly wonderful

An image of Emmet Otter playing his washtub bass. Text above it says "If the bass player gives you this look, you're dying in that pit".

Puppets Emmet and Ma Otter stand outside of a music store. Ma looks down at a drum leaning on it side. Emmet seems startled by the large human crew member reaching out of the door to grab the drum for another take. The crew member is so much larger than the set their head and arm barely fit through the door.

Family holiday tradition complete of watching Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas on DVD, including the 3 million outtakes of the drum rolling out of the music store and failing to fall over correctly.

River Bottom Nightmare Band, with a drawing is the band

And their great lighting!

I have this sweet T-shirt I wear to the gym in December.
