Sports Yappin': Who will be next first-time national champion, part 1
Indiana broke through the glass ceiling with a national championship. What other programs can follow in the Hoosiers' footsteps?
open.substack.com
Decided to tap into the Substack gimmick and just start yappin' about stuff that I find interesting. I figured it's a good way to keep the writing skills sharp and start experimenting with different things.
Anyway, a future congrats to Lubbock and Tempe.

He’s fortunate that the AJC 1. Decided to run cover for him and 2. Decided to quietly nuke itself like the Washington Post.

Jesse Jackson died Tuesday at the age of 84. The civil rights icon always held America to account—and never stopped fighting to preserve what he knew could be taken away. I wrote about how he saw our future so well.

The man ran a vile, gutter racist campaign right in front of everyone’s face and Bleamer in Flagstaff is just now realizing this.
Literally millions of people voted for the imaginary Trump in their heads and are extremely upset that they got Actually Existing Trump, because they're dumb motherfuckers rather than truly depraved monsters.
it has never been more over.

RIP to Jesse Jackson, who in this debate w/David Duke in 1977 delivered (until the host cut him off) a message of unity and against "national isolationism" that's important to hear today. He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"
