i’m seeing many, many creators complaining about videos under review / videos not getting views for random stuff that’s not political but it’s not getting attention because it doesn’t play into the narrative that there’s some top-down partisan tinkering underway.

I'm struggling to come up with a parallel for Sam Darnold surviving the broader Jets Experience and his total memetic capture on the "seeing ghosts"/Out Indefinitely: Mononucleosis front and going on to win a Super Bowl. It's too mean to say "Tommy Wiseau winning an Oscar" but I went there first.

alacritous, they are shook
NY Post editorial board: "The alacritous and misleading rhetoric coming out of the administration needs to stop ... DHS Secretary Kristi Noem should also take a break from her self-promoting and combative TV hits."

Wrote about him in TNR, prior to Renee Good. Remarkably similar incident. He’d just dropped off his kid. They rushed his car. He tried to flee. Cops then claimed he tried to run them over, despite video evidence to the contrary.
Should’ve been a warning.

Bill Melugin of Fox News may be the best-sourced journalist within ICE and CBP. If he's hearing this, the administration has a real problem.

One of the ~5 or so most moderate members of the caucus
Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
"Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

Most DYAR on play action passing this year:
1. Matthew Stafford (893 DYAR, 46.6% DVOA)
2. Sam Darnold (589 DYAR, 51.7% DVOA)

Tough to exaggerate how good Sam Darnold has been on play action passes this season.
Only Lamar Jackson had a higher adjusted yards per attempt and a higher accuracy rate on play action in 2025. Only 6 QBs had a higher QB rating than Darnold when using play action. #Seahawks

definitely suggests organizational experience. perhaps little league, or maybe cub scouts
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.
