It annoys me to no end that Jordan Love can throw a beautiful deep ball but Matt LaFleur keeps it bottled up until the game is on the line in the 4th quarter

The other quote sounds a lot better:
“We don’t need to water down our commitment to racial and economic justice as a party […] We need to remember that all this ties into what it’s like to be an American […] we’re a country that developed based on this commitment to democratic equality.”
“We don’t need to water down our commitment to racial and economic justice as a party […] We need to remember that all this ties into what it’s like to be an American […] we’re a country that developed based on this commitment to democratic equality.”
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25

Oh. It turns out that the Petticoat Affair is one of those things you have to see in real-time to get.

Yeah people like this now, but I suspect that many of these people also hate things like solar panels
NEW from me: a new report found that national resistance to data centers skyrocketed between March and June of this year—especially in red states like Georgia and Indiana:
The Data Center Resistance Has Arrived
A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year.

Nature research paper: A molecularly impermeable polymer from two-dimensional polyaramids

A molecularly impermeable polymer from two-dimensional polyaramids - Nature
Two-dimensional polyaramid polymers are synthesized to form nanofilms that exhibit the lowest gas permeability of any polymer by orders of magnitude, despite lacking crystallinity, enabling molecular-scale nanomechanical resonators and barrier materials.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein seemed to have dinner together at Eva and Glenn Durbin’s place in Palm Beach, Florida… IN 2017

It seems like Al Seckel was trying to help Epstein suppress bad search results on google using SEO in 2010. It’s hard to not feel like a conspiracy theorist looking at these emails.

Every part of me feels like the Epstein stuff is not nearly as “evil cabal” as it’s portrayed but then there are emails like “hey jeff, look at this picture of a 5 year old who had a child” and I don’t know what else to think

Oh, that Michael Wolff email is already more damning than anything I ever expected to see
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.
Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Feist performed “It’s A Good Life If You Don’t Weaken” with the surviving members of The Tragically Hip and now “We’re Going To Be Friends” with Olivia Rodrigo. If she wasn’t *so* good at it, it would be insulting to say she’s an incredible tribute artist.

The reason I like Tammy Baldwin so much is because she knows how to politic. This probably doesn’t matter, but it’s way more “doing her job” than posting a
statement and giving up.

I’ve been maybe a bit too critical of LaFleur, but now it’s clear that he’s a problem.
- play-calling is slow and run-heavy
- offense keeps making terrible penalties
- McManus’s leg was just this week “feeling semi-better” and he’s still the starter (??)
I don’t know what he does well now.

My working theory of Lafleur right now is he wants to protect his OL in pass pro but is in denial about how bad they are at run blocking

It’s concerning to me that with an established list of 8 people voting here, the comments are filled with BlueAnon speculation that actually “[other person] is behind this!”
The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

Democrats have awful approval because a few of the worst ones can negotiate a terrible deal and then get all of the other dems blamed for it. Republicans call their weak links “RINO” but spineless Democrats spoil the whole party

I think this is a huge overpay for the current Sauce Gardner, but if he gets good again it’s probably the definitive proof that Irsay-Gordon is actually an elite team owner
Newest Colts CB: Sauce.
The Jets are getting 2 first-rounders and WR AD Mitchell for Sauce Gardner.
The Colts get Sauce Gardner for next 5.5 years under a contract worth $131.5M -- taking out what NYJ already paid. $625k for the remainder of 2025 and then an average of $26.1M for the next 5 years.
