Duke ๐Ÿ€: 66-60 over No. 7 Michigan State in East Lansing to remain undefeated

It's the first time EVER Duke has defeated two top-20 opponents on the same day.

My favorite thing about Curt Cignetti is he looks like a man who loves to spend an hour combing through a musty hardware store only to leave with nothing but a box of nails and gum that's been stocked next to the register since 2007.

Or listening on the radio and tuning in just after they passed the letter for your district, and that interminable wait for them to come around again.

With so many nonprofits making a year-end push for donations, it helps to do some research before deciding where to give.

@propublica.org's Nonprofit Explorer tool has details on millions of orgs (including ProPublica) with helpful info like executive compensation, revenue, and expenses.

Exactly, bombing the boat in the first place was a war crime, and there have been many others. The kill shot on the survivors was a continuation of that ongoing crime spree, not the beginning of one.

Hmmm. @benrothenberg.bsky.social is right, why sign up for 24/7/365 drug testing if you weren't planning on coming back? I wonder if this is just Serena wanting to break the news on her own time, in her own way, and she's not happy this news broke the way it did.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be โ€” and should be โ€” shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Continually amazed that someone who's been in public life as long as Trump has lacks the capacity to say anything appropriate when someone has died.

Itโ€™s understandable when corrupt authoritarians who market themselves as โ€œfighters against corruptionโ€ try to silence their critics. Itโ€™s less understandable when journalistic outlets like the BBC cave to such authoritarian tactics.

The University of Virginia and Cornell deals with Trump set a dangerous precedent | Serena Mayeri and Amanda Shanor The bespoke agreements are full of peril for the universities, allowing the federal government to quietly exert control

This is spot-on.

The UVA "deal" might be the worst/most dangerous (so far). With the help of UVA's leadership, Trump coerced a leading U.S. university to foreswear all efforts (including 100% lawful measures) to achieve diversity.

A betrayal of our values.

I watched S1 of โ€œPluribusโ€ without having read any reviews, etc, that gave away the premise or plot. If you can do that as well, I recommend it. Itโ€™s so much fun to be completely surprised, and so odd that we always make sure we arenโ€™t.
