He may be nicknamed for defense, but in Miami's new system Davion Mitchell is becoming an incredibly (and historically?) unique offensive player.

Davion ON: 118.0 (Would Rank 7)
Davion OFF: 110.1 (Would Rank 27)

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Check out Quillette's latest video, How Antisemitism Returned: From Medieval Europe to the Free Palestine Protests, by Benny Morris
How Antisemitism Returned: From Medieval Europe to the Free Palestine Protests, by Benny Morris
For centuries, antisemitism has resurfaced in new forms—Christian, Muslim, nationalist, and now activist. This video traces the surprising continuity between medieval blood libels, 19th-century nationalism, 20th-century wars, and today’s campus protests against Israel. Drawing on historian Benny Morris’s Quillette essay A Perfect Storm, Zoe Booth explores how three separate forces converged: traditional Christian narratives of Jewish culpability Islamic religious hostility and historical pogroms modern anti-Zionism and Western cultural radicalism We look at how antisemitic myths were transported across centuries and continents—from the Crusades and Quranic texts to Ottoman Damascus and, later, to Hamas’s modern ideology. Why is antisemitism resurging? Why has support for Hamas taken hold on Western campuses? And how do Qatar, media narratives, and fading Holocaust memory feed today’s crisis? This video breaks down the historical, political, and cultural forces behind the return of antisemitism in the West. Based on the Quillette essay by Benny Morris: A Perfect Storm: https://quillette.com/2025/10/28/a-perfect-storm-israel-gaza-palestine/ 00:00 Introduction: The Return of Antisemitism 00:36 Anti-Zionism as Old Hatred Rebranded 01:17 Christian and Islamic Roots of Antisemitism 02:06 When Islam Took on Europe’s Antisemitic Tropes 03:03 Zionism, Empire and the Arab World 03:58 The West Forgets the Holocaust 04:51 Why Campus Activism Fell for Hamas 05:44 October 7 and Hamas’s Ideology 06:29 Qatar, Propaganda and the West 07:10 Jewish Communities Under Threat 07:50 Why Antisemitism Always Returns ------ Quillette is an Australian-based online magazine that focuses on long-form analysis and cultural commentary.
