USC demolished Michigan. 4-TD spread without the 2 red zone USC giveaways. Not competitive. Dominant.

Our extensive preview of USC vs. No. 15 Michigan The last time Michigan visited the Coliseum, Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" was the No. 1 song. Saturday, the Wolverines hope to leave the Trojans' home crowd (maize and) blue.

It's a blue-blood battle Saturday in the Coliseum as #USC hosts #Michigan. Can the #Trojans flip the script from last season's late loss in Ann Arbor? My preview is on USCFootball.com. 247sports.com/college/usc/...

“We should replace Bad Bunny with Lee Greenwood” is an also a perfect summation of the “deal” they’ve offered universities.

Loving every asshole who thinks their Major League Baseball team - a sport whiter than anything but hockey - doesn’t include a shitload of MAGA turds, mocking Clayton Kershaw. Good times.

The Loneliest Guy in the Room - Truthdig Trump’s incoherent harangue to the family of nations put a spotlight on America’s self-inflicted, abject isolation.

It took Trump 60 minutes to murmur out a wet "that's all, folks!" before the UN Tuesday. Given that he was talking to himself and no one outside the greater Trumpiverse can hear him, it's the only thing he could say.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Our extensive preview of No. 21 USC at No. 23 Illinois A week after playing until nearly midnight, USC kicks off at Illinois with their body clocks at 9 a.m. For the Trojans to get where they want to go, they must rise and shine in their first 2025 game against a ranked foe.

No. 21 #USC meets its first ranked foe when it faces No. 23 #Illinois in an early start tomorrow. The Illini are licking their wounds after a big loss at Indiana. Can they rebound, or will the Trojans continue their hot start? My preview is on USCFootball.com. 247sports.com/college/usc/...

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
