Leave it to the NHL to have a game between two bitter rivals, both in the central time zone, with a puck drop at 8:50 local time. Fucking clown shoes league.

This guy was a clerk for Justice Gorsuch. Anyone want to argue this is not a racist (and damn stupid) taunt?

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I’m still haunted by NBC’s John Chancellor and his “ex-Cub factor” reasoning why the Red Sox weren’t going to beat the Mets in ‘86.

Since then, I’ve been a “no ex-Met” on the Sox. Don’t want their stank on my team. Don’t care how good they’re supposed to be.

A bombshell report detailing racist and antisemitic texts shared among Young Republicans lifted the veil on how the next generation of GOP leaders talk when they think no one is watching.

Unsurprisingly, prominent conservatives defended the participants.

Gotta say, it takes an *amazing* lack of shame for Louisiana to show up to the Supreme Court to make the exact OPPOSITE argument than they made last year in the same case.

I couldn't do it. But I have, you know, intellectual integrity.
