Hard to believe there's been five different quarterbacks named "Sam Darnold" in the NFL.

When I got home to Evanston, I talked to Michael and we decided to send support to Isuroon, a Minnesota food assistance program focused on the Somali community. Please consider sending support to the Twin Cities community during this infuriating and lawless time.

Everyone's Doubting Jarrett Stidham — Except The People Who Know Him Best The Denver Broncos Super Bowl odds tumbled after Bo Nix's injury. But former Stephenville Yellow Jackets head coach Joe Gillespie saw Jarrett Stidham come off the bench before.

There's always a Texas angle when most of the quarterbacks are from Texas www.texasfootball.com/article/2026...

Cherry Hill Mall, Christiana Mall close due to snow Upwards of a foot of snow is expected across the Philadelphia region, with sleet and freezing rain to follow.

"In Philadelphia, Emilia, James Beard Award-winning chef Greg Vernick's Italian restaurant in Kensington, has postponed its scheduled opening from Monday to Tuesday. Vernick told The Inquirer he was unsure if his fish supplier could deliver Monday."

Hear me out: 3,000-seat Portland State arts center/hotel with an 8,000-seat football stadium on top of it.

Our country was founded on protesting unjust laws.

Hey, a @stephenrodrick.bsky.social @phillymag.com cameo! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/s...

Employees shouldn't have to get there! And skiers probably shouldn't try if they're not already there. Sometimes lifts can't run in extreme cold/ice either. Seems like some of them are open though.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Michael Connelly Should Stick To Fake Crime | Defector The origin of Michael Connelly’s new true crime podcast, Killer in the Code, was a rather far-fetched tip fielded by Rick Jackson, a retired detective from the Los Angeles Police Department. A self-de...

for the weekend crowd: I dug into a new podcast that pins a bunch of notorious murders on a long-dead Jewish man from San Diego. It's the ugliest true crime property in recent memory. [gift link] defector.com/michael-conn...

The killings cut especially deep in Portland, because just a month ago President Donald Trump had this city in his crosshairs.

I was gonna post this @johntedge.bsky.social story as a small happy break from news of the day, but of course, it is entirely related to news of the day. Come for the American immigration story & Cuban sandwiches, stay for delightful Widespread Panic mention gardenandgun.com/articles/fif...

Weather forecast for Butte, 19 high 6 low, tomorrow 23/0. Barely any snow.

On the whole, I'd rather be in Butte, Montana

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Wild that FIFA would put three straight World Cups in countries with no regard for human rights.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

That is like, where Twin/Tone Records was

ICE pulls over Texas Monthly’s senior taco editor while reporting in West Texas 'They wanted us to get anxious. It worked,' the award-winning food journalist said of his encounter with ICE agents.

This is extremely suspicious, for sure.

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

June 1 Michael Feinberg, a leader of the F.B.I's field office in Norfolk, Va., was forced out after Bongino discovered he was friends with Peter Strzok, an agent fired in 2018 for disparaging Trump while investigating his campaign's ties to Russia. In a text exchange, Strzok called Trump an "idiot," and he responded to another text about Trump's presidential run by saying, "We'll stop it." (In response to a request for comment, Strzok noted that the Justice Department's inspector general found that political bias did not influence decision-making in the Russia investigation.)

Michael Feinberg, former assistant special agent in charge of the field office in Norfolk, Va.: I was at the field office working out in the gym on a Saturday, and I got a phone call from Dominique Evans, my newly appointed special agent in charge. She was on a cruise in Europe, and I was leading the office in her absence. She told me that Dan Bongino had somehow found out that I was friends with Pete Strzok. I explained to her that Pete and I had worked together in the counterintelligence division before there was any scandal associated with his name. We discovered we were into the same bands and became friends. I wasn't breaking any policy by going to see Nick Cave and Warren Ellis with him.

Probably no one else read 20k words deep into this NYT expose on what Trump’s done to the FBI, but the former assistant special agent in charge of the field office in Norfolk, Va. was fired for going on a bro hang to a Nick Cave/Warren Ellis concert. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Cuts at UT target teaching and learning, undergraduate research departments The departments, which will wind down this semester, provided university-wide services for teaching and research – key parts of UT’s mission.

This is like anti-governance.
