I attended the memorial service (at the Mariner’s Church of Detroit - the "musty old hall" from the song) to mark the 50th anniversary of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sinking on Monday. As an old-head Titanic buff and a Great Lakes kid, it was moving. Free essay:

"'GameDay,' a platform with unmatched influence over the sport it covers, also didn’t report LSU initially offered its job to Saban himself, who declined and instead guided Tigers leadership to his choice: Kiffin." @stevengodfrey.bsky.social: www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...
Guest column | How Nick Saban and ESPN tried to help Lane Kiffin coach two teams at once
Kiffin wanted to stay at Mississippi through the College Football Playoff even after taking the job at LSU. That only made sense on television.

This is probably both fraud and perjury and I look forward to his defense being that he’s too stupid to form a sentence.

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?
And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

"To protect the fatherland's blood purity, DHS will target the undocumented elf that's scheduled to cross international borders without legal permissions on Dec. 25. Santa Claus is a terrorist that will be brought to justice via a lethal kinetic strike," Hegseth and Noem said in a joint statement.

The height of my sixth-grade experience in early 1986 was playing laser tag at "Photon" in suburban Cincinnati and thinking my pimply nerd face was a cyberpunk noir badass because I used the name ACE in the computer scoring system.
Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Shit like this will make it easier for Trump to jettison Hegseth for someone who isn't such a bumbling spotlight hog. He's an easy sop to GOP critics on the Hill.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
