This has been an exceptionally difficult and frightening week. Check in with the people around you. You never know who might need that kindness.

Nasty fog in Des Moines. Stay safe out there, friends!

Since Shawn Eichorst stated that he 'had to evaluate where Iowa was as a program' as a reason to dismiss Pelini:
Iowa is 9-1 against Nebraska. The #Hawkeyes have also won at least 8 games a year (excluding COVID where they finished 6-2).

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.

PSA for those just now coming over from twitter. Don’t make Bluesky “new twitter.” You don’t have to dunk quote skeet on someone whose opinion you diametrically disagree w/for a pile on, in fact just don’t do that. No one likes it. Also see a nazi, block a nazi. Same w/resistance grifters.

I've enjoyed blocking any MAGA I've encountered on here so far. They stick out like a sore thumb and usually have no followers and just interject themselves into conversations with their hate.

The anti-vaxxer DHHS Secretary has a brainworm.

The Secretary of Defense has Christian Nationalist tattoos and is accused of Sexual Assault.

The DNI was called "a Russian spy" by former Rep. Kinzinger (R-IL).

The DHS Secretary kills her pets.

The AG is accused of pedophilia and Sex Trafficking.

People who still deny the results of the 2020 election are telling me get over the ‘24 election.

So cool to watch this migration away from the cesspool in real time.

Anybody got some intel on IC Liberty football? SEP has them in the dome tomorrow and don't really know much about them outside what Bound can provide.

Quite understandably, because he grew up in Pretoria and didn’t start working as an illegal immigrant in the United States until the mid- or late 1990s, Elon never got to watch that Schoolhouse Rock episode on bills and laws and stuff.

Quote with a picture of (falling) water that you took

Made the switch from the cesspool to here. Anyone have any recommendations for must-follows for Hawkeyes, B1G, Iowa politics etc...?
