Cook a little between tennis lessons
My favorite part of Swords' shot is the complete lack of consideration.
Get ball.
Shoot ball.

Bring back penal colonies, but for data scientists who want to be pundits.
when we said “defer electoral strategy to the actual politicians running for actual offices” we meant “after calculating wins above replacement somehow”

My decision to stop watching the NFL has never felt more righteous than it does today.

Funnily enough, they think pretty much the same things as their Republican parents. They're just more willing to be explicit about it.

Sure, that's absolutely something we need to talk about, but it is REALLY odd to use this as the prompt. Those are underpaid manual laborers working outdoors in the cold. Maybe instead, we could focus on the wealthy and privileged who have rolled over and shown their bellies instead?
Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

Based upon the conservative and media reaction to Reagan's decline and death, I can't wait to see what happens when they speed-run it this time through with their new daddy.

The plow driver clearly speeding up after they've lost control is a great detail.

I'm not an expert, but the camera work at 4:49 has to be in contention for greatest shot of live music captured on film.

Tschetter, if he doesn't get it from the bench, is going to get a tech within 45 seconds of checking in.

You'd think Chris would at least drop a link to the obituary.
🫡 Tonight we bid farewell to a Division III college football legend.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

This is why I had to laugh when "very serious people" were saying that the ongoing photos from this would definitely be the thing that captured public attention.
The White House has put up barriers around the ballroom construction, and told government workers not to share photos without permission.

So if we’re taking our own pictures, they have to be from distance. (I say that as someone who has tried, too, and snapped this from the Washington Monument.)

The part of this that seems to not get mentioned enough is that Indiana is ALREADY heavily gerrymandered. This isn't some new phenomena created by Trump and friends. This has been the bog-standard GOP playbook for decades. Which is the only reason that they can push as far as they are now.
If Indiana Republicans cave to Trump today and agree to rig the 2026 elections, both Illinois and Maryland are in line to respond, notes @nicolelafond.bsky.social. Cites our interview with Rep Jamie Raskin pushing State Sen prez to drop his bizarre opposition:

Catching up on last night....

Whole lot of CFB reporters have seemingly, for nearly two years, been sitting on a whole lot of stories about a the head coach at a major university being a creep.

Nothing quite so scary as a sports writer with years of secrets and a grudge.
Sherrone Moore blocked me on Twitter the day he accepted the Michigan job.

I wasn’t the only credible writer who got that treatment. There were reasons for that.

These Michigan teams deserve an athletic department that wants to support them. Imagine this game with double the students in the lower sections.

That tiny little mic.
The one you're pinching in between your thumb and forefinger.
Yeah, it's SUPPOSED TO BE PINNED TO YOUR LAPEL!!
JUST PIN THE FUCKING THING ON AND STOP HOLDING IT. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE ECHO OF YOUR NASAL CAVITY OR YOUR LIPS SMACKING.
Please, just pin it to your shirt.

Dave Matthews Band has sold more tickets than Taylor Swift this century?

That's interesting.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I need IU to understand that scoring here is bad.
If you win 13-10, you will break OSU for the next decade.
