Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Who’s taking this 300-pounder home on Saturday?

The Brawl of the Wild renews this week as No. 2 Montana State and No. 9 Montana meet for the 123rd time.

The series is the third-oldest D-1 rivalry in the Western United States with the first meeting coming in 1897.

donald trump gave elon musk the second controller and kept it unplugged
the DOGE agency will not have the authority to reallocate funds (nor would that be constitutional), it is a PR tool to create the impression that government spending is inherently wasteful and build political momentum for spending cuts
Hypothetical. I'm curious what people think. If the DOGE agency worked on the premise that half of all savings in a federal program were distributed as increased benefits to qualified recipients, would you consider the details ?

The nation’s top rusher (Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty) and receiver (San Jose State’s Nick Nash) face off this weekend.

The duo are on pace to become the first conference-mates to lead the stat categories since Marshall Faulk and Ryan Yarborough did it in the WAC in 1992.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

Boise State was once the crown jewel of non-Power conference teams. But it began to slip, then got passed over in realignment.

Now it’s back at the top, with a plan to make sure it doesn’t fall back again.
