lmaoooooooooooo this is TOO MUCH
Screenshot of an Instagram post from The Athletic with quotes from Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichek to UNC staff regarding social media comment monitoring. Jordon Hudson's quote from an email on February 13: "Is there anyone monitoring the UNC football phew for aka slanderous commentary and subsequently deleting it slash blocking users that are harassing BB in the comments?" Bill Belichek in a follow-up email: "I cannot believe that UNC would support my being called a 'predator'"

7:54pm: an ask for money, calling it the No Surrender Fund. I'd laugh if I wasn't so disgusted.

Get out of my inbox with this mealy-mouthed bullshit @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and try to actually govern California instead of talking to fascists and neo-Nazis.
Text of a screenshot from a Gavin Newsome email concerning his podcast which reads: A lot of people have been asking me why I’m inviting right-wingers like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon on a podcast. First, I think it's critically important for us to understand how the MAGA-right organized itself during the last election and what they are thinking about in the weeks, months and years ahead. I also don't think there's anywhere else someone like Steve Bannon -- a self-proclaimed populist -- is going to be asked to defend the harmful impact of Trump's tariffs. Bannon also talks a lot about the influence of oligarchs, yet Trump's cabinet is filled from top-to-bottom with them. Do Trump supporters know that? Would Bannon defend that? And finally, I think we all agreed after the last election that it’s important for Democrats to explore new and unique ways of talking to people. And by all accounts, these conversations are reaching lots of people.

My fave is King Cake Baby as seasonal mascot for the Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans' Mardi Gras mascot King Cake Baby rides a scooter on the arena floor during a basketball game. King Cake Baby is an adult-height mascot, wearing a diaper and bib that says "I love King Cake" around its neck. The mascot head is smiling widely. A small crown sits atop its bald head.
