despite four straight Ls, Auburn basketball is still unanimously projected to make the NCAA Tournament — and the vast majority of bracketologists have them decently off the bubble
but the Tigers need to get winning again to stay there, starting with a big one at State this week

How close is Auburn to the NCAA Tournament bubble right now?
While the Tigers have lost four straight, they're still unanimously projected to make it to the Dance. But what will they have to do to lock it down?

In Alaska, we recognize Elizabeth Peratrovich Day. Her words really resonate today.
“Asking you to give me equal rights implies that they are yours to give.
Instead, I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights that all people deserve.”

The latest nutrition guidelines urge Americans to avoid highly-processed food. But, when it comes to carbs, many people don't know which ones are ultra-processed. Here's an easy way to find out. n.pr/3MxnwFO
Is that carb ultra-processed? Here's a test even a kid can do

This was a concern cited by Justice Anthony Kennedy in Kennedy v Louisiana in 2008, which declared the death penalty in these cases unconstitutional. There’s also the fear this will make it more likely for a victim to be killed by their abuser.
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

- Auburn needed more from others, especially to start the 2nd half
- paint battle flipped in a big way from the first matchup
- if Tahaad Pettiford can keep this up…

Down their leading scorer for disciplinary reasons, the Tigers got a lot from some — but not nearly enough from others — in a fourth straight loss.

This framing US carmakers way too much credit.
Detroit's execs killed off *all* their entry level sedans. WHy? Because giant SUVs and trucks are more profitable.
Now they're paying the consequences.

Slavery continues to have impacts on everything from where people live to the South’s high poverty rates to public health among Black Americans (Alabama’s high and racially disparate infant mortality rates are a direct consequence of slavery) and it’s critical to understand that.

Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans don’t need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Making EVs more affordable and broadly available would have major benefits for the environment and the pocketbooks of households. So would mass-produced, cheap solar panels.
But we can't have those. What we can have is a technology that will take your job and accelerate climate change.

This may be correct, but what I'm thinking about is a lifetime of seeing health care, poverty and environmental programs mocked as impractical and always subject to negotiation while the job-killing misery machines get rushed through the door.
Bluesky AI haters: you need to know that it is coming and it cannot be stopped and you need to help. Ask anyone in coding and you’ll hear that AI is a freight train heading our way. You need to get past ‘it doesn’t work’ and ‘I hate Elon Musk’. I know it sticks in the craw. But please start thinking
