If you found me through my delightful political commentary, sorry about the hockey skeets. Go Canes.
If you found me from my delightful hockey skeets, I hate fascism and say so a lot.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:
-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor
Fools.

I will say that beating a good UNC team to get to 7-5 and a meh bowl feels way better than beating this UNC team to get to 7-5 and a meh bowl.
But Dave getting his turn to embarrass Belichick and taking advantage of it was more fun than I’d expected going in.

Maybe don’t do anything stupid, guys. I know it’s a rivalry game, but the soul left the body before they rolled into Raleigh.

There’s no way the money that brought this disaster to Carolina is smart or humble enough to admit they were wrong. They’re 100% running this back.
Congratulations to the sports content folks who will get a second summer of Jordon Hudson.

Will Doren's ass whooping of Belichick be the straw that breaks the camel's back?
I hope not, long live Bill's tenure at UNC.

The thing is that the punishment for war criminals isn’t “firing,” it’s at the very least prison.
Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately.

Either this is the offense the Wolfpack could have had all season or Belichick is even more of a disaster than I’d imagined. Or both. I suppose it could be both.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

1. Literally ever accusation from Republicans has turned out to be projection
2. Trump is going in hard on the idea that Biden didn’t know about any order signed by auto pen
3. Trump already copped to not knowing anything about his crypto pardon
4. Investigate the fuck out of Trump’s orders

I’m ready to look at what a Kochetkov/Bussi tandem looks like for a month. Worst case scenario is that it’s not great and there was a whole month where we didn’t break Freddie.
I asked Brind'Amour today if Bussi's play has warranted an extended run: "Yeah, sure. We kind of thrust him into weird situations. He doesn't know when he's starting based on the health of the other guys, but he's done a good job. He's earned every start and deserves the next one whenever that is."

Hegseth needs to be in jail for the rest of his life, and that’s the moderate option.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Was kind of feeling the post Thanksgiving malaise so I went to the local Y to do some swimming while the kids availed themselves of the other amenities and I feel a metric ton better after 1500 yards and I am not prepared to be the kind of person who needs exercise to feel normal.

Trump has trampled the Constitution, trashed the economy, and ceded the next century to China. Someone in my replies on Bluesky used the word "Latinx". I have never felt more politically homeless.
