College football at most “big-time” institutions is a massive money-loser that is subsidized by tuition-paying parents.

Props to the Domers. In this era, “bowls” are for the likes of the Blue Hens, not national powers.
This childish reaction only underscores how badly this slapdown was needed

Notre Dame has had every opportunity to join the ACC or Big Ten over the last 50 years, so it has only itself to blame for its current situation

@crampell.bsky.social falls into both-sides analysis. Trump is not “repeating Biden’s mistakes.” He’s lying. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Mr. @pkrugman.bsky.social:

Elise Stefanik’s Bad Bet on MAGA Politics
For a promise of power, she has let herself be yanked around. Now she’s launched a Trumpian campaign for governor of New York.

Cuomo’s father was the object of the same bigotry that the son is directing at more recent immigrants.
The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

If Dublin is Europe’s most pro-Palestinian city, it’s leading a crowded field. Athens, Bologna are also on the leaderboard, based on our survey this month.
It’s Steelers-Vikings in Dublin. Steelers: owned by Dan Rooney, former US amb. to Ireland vs Vikings owned by Mark Wilf who bankrolls Israeli ethnic cleansing coming to Europe’s most pro-Palestinian city. This ain’t sportswashing? This ain’t political? www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I’ve taunted David Brooks as much as the next guy, but he’s a valuable part of the conversation.
Put it in the books.
"David Brooks made his name as an amateur cultural taxonomist, driving (or not!) around this great country, looking at whatever people were buying or wearing or doing or eating and then writing, 'Rich people like to have summer homes in Nantucket, but poor people like to drink energy drinks.'"

In my experience, Bluegrass is liberals’ country music.
I’m like one of those racists that can’t help but like rap music, but as a liberal elitist who loves bluegrass. I’ll be darned if those reactionary hicks didn’t produce some of the finest music known to mankind…

CBS shareholders should question the bribery in a derivative suit.
Aw, dammit.

I was invited to be a guest on the Colbert Report back in November 2012 but I passed. My dad had just passed unexpectedly and Hurricane Sandy had hit, and I was about as emotionally frayed as I’ve ever been. It was the right call in the moment but I’ve regretted it ever since.

It’s like truncating Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address.
This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

The most cogent summary of today's case.
Pity on the students entering Con Law this fall.
The reality is the Roberts Court has expanded and abused the shadow docket to create a parallel track of jurisprudence, where they can give judicial legitimacy to ideological aims (Unitary Executive Theory, etc) w/o the scrutiny of hearing oral arguments or justifying their abandonment of precedent.
