Easy to say Fire Brands. Easy to say who are they going to get? It’s a “down to the studs” rebuild. Whatever that looks like.

Easily one of my favorite records from the last 10 years. Great read from @chrisdeville.bsky.social.
Pinegrove's 'Cardinal' came out 10 years ago today.
A look back at the album and the saga that followed:

Pinegrove felt like the future — like my future, like our future. It wasn’t on the scale of the current Geese-mania, but a decade ago, a palpable excitement was building behind the Montclair, NJ group...

And last one for today: Vladyslav Heraskevych was banned from competing by the IOC because he wanted to wear a helmet honouring athletes who were victims of Russia's war. He could have won a medal. He won something else instead. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...
Bruce Arthur: IOC makes a compromise on Ukrainian athlete’s tribute to his dead countrymen — with yet another concession to Russia
Vladyslav Heraskevych’s helmet bears the faces of Ukrainian athletes killed in Russia’s four-year war of aggression.

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.

"Frederick Douglass wasn't literate enough to understand the Constitution" is one of the most unhinged takes I've ever seen someone post even on bluesky, the official home of posting unhinged takes
Bluesky "leftist": "Frederick Douglass wasn't literate enough to read and understand the Constitution. I am very smart and woke."
Doing great folks, just great.

Wow! We do it! Oh my gosh, I am overwhelmed. You all were so kind and generous. We raised the $3k goal super quickly. I know there’s a ton of need out there and this family specifically will probably need more. I’ll reach out to everyone who DM’ed that I couldn’t get back to in time. I love you all!
I am working to get them connected with existing support networks, like at their kids schools, but the main thing we can offer them right now is time and a continued roof over their head. I will delete this post once we hit $3k, with anything not going to back rent toward future needs.

At HawkFanatic.com: I caught up with former Hawkeye basketball player/crowd-pleaser Doug Thomas this week, 20 years after he helped Iowa to a Big Ten tourney title. At 42, he's still playing professionally, still dunking and defending. hawkfanatic.com/2026/02/12/t...

Maryland 77 - Iowa 70
The #Hawkeyes 6-game win streak is over; shooting was off all night; can argue that UI lost this the last few minutes in the 1H & never fully recovered. Kept it close but no cigar. Bad loss to a team that was 2-10 in #B1G play even though it was on the road.

3s and I think we can call that some home cooking officiating. I hate that shit, but pretty good argument tonight. But that was leaving money on the table (is there an updated idiom for this?).

We have to come up with an entertainment alternative to commercials. My vote is “One-Line Book Club.” One line on the book you’re reading. I’m about half through “White Noise,” and what started as a swipe at commercial culture has become gripping survivor shit.
