When I looked just a minute ago, there were 12 headlines above the protest coverage. On WaPo it was third. On Apple News, it was the lead story.

In Little Rock, there were ordained ministers from episcopal, UMC, PC USA, Baptist (!) and Catholic priests all participating in the parade. They had also brought youth groups.

What does one call a group of inflatables? Flock? I think murder because it is more hilarious. #nokings in Little Rock.

@weratedogs.com may have just radicalized some people against ICE/Border Patrol with this effort. Last segment of this video.

True. Wild how Arkansas made a big deal out of the delegation getting all these prestigious chairmanships and this is the weakest Congress in history.

A senator from Arkansas is chair of the ag committee and he's got staff out there saying the Senate has no idea if or what the White House has planned, and they only learn about things when Trump rambles on social media as there's zero communication.

I've cancelled the renewal and my comment was, "Sucking that Trump dick and charging us more? No thanks."
I won't get a response but, if I do, I'll post it. Also, not that it matters, but we're a Nielsen house and like a real American, I spent those crisp $5s on gambling, so I can't prove it.

I pay for Disney Plus annually, so no point in cancelling early since they weren't doing refunds but worth noting the annual cost is going up bigly.
"Disney+ Premium will increase to $189.99 per year on Nov. 12."
It was $159.99. So, roughly 20 percent.

The editor at WaPo who saved Sally from her worst impulses, now on full display, deserves all the money. But I assume they also got cut loose.

Been engaged in lengthy conversation on Bo Nix being the fewest number of letters for an NFL player ever and this is how @davidjroth.bsky.social lives his life every day — talking about some guy.

If Petrino hadn’t Petrinoed, and kicked an easy field goal instead of going for it, the game would have been tied with the Vols driving for the go ahead in the final minute.

I think Tennessee’s played pretty well on defense in the second half and they’ve still allowed 31 points, Arkansas has no defense whatsoever, but they’re dangerous as hell on the attack

I know Arkansas - Tennessee isn’t prime advertising opportunities but this broadcast has shown F1 Tron Ares, NWSL and WWE in Perth commercials pretty much nonstop. Not entirely sure if there’s been a paid spot shown this game.

Watched last night and was the bonkers patriot software ad an Onion creation or an actual ad that runs on YiuTube? I honestly couldn’t tell.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Again, when the backlash comes it will come for everyone in uniform and defund the police will be the least of their concerns.

I really think the uniforms who are going along with this aren't prepared for the backlash. They're so used to being the hero, but what's coming is full villain. Nothing they're doing - roughing up priests, killing peoples' dogs, etc. - indicates they've thought a second about consequences coming.

Like how can we have endless pieces about fucking dissertation plagiarism and not one about "the spokesperson for DHS tells specific, easily-disproven lies constantly to provide cover for serious crimes against the public" how is that not a big deal? Do I have to write this shit myself?!?!?

The entirety of Thailand's Royal Air Force has been in Fort Smith for months going on years. There's as many international C-130J pilots at Little Rock AFB as there are American pilots. Camp Robinson/Pike regularly hosts foreign army units for training. That's just Arkansas and all normal.

I think that's understated. Soybeans, barring a miracle, are done. They're just not going to drive ag going forward. And, the south has been there before. In 1913, cotton traded at a dollar a pound. Now, on a good day, it trades at 65 cents a pound and has become a niche crop.

farmers are probably generationally fucked. medicaid recipients are fucked barring some fix in the next budget round. rural health care systems are toast. employment is looking *very* wobbly.

I've got real money that says it won't happen, but if it did, whatever Lee Greenwood/Kid Rock thing they do will get worse ratings than the Puppy Bowl.
