This offseason I’ve been fascinated by LaNorris Sellers, a 19-yr old QB almost no one had ever heard of a year ago and who was overlooked throughout the recruiting process to being a projected top-5 NFL Draft pick. And the more I found out about him, the more I loved: www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...
How LaNorris Sellers, a QB no one knew a year ago, became projected top-5 NFL Draft pick
South Carolina didn't offer LaNorris Sellers until late his senior. Now, the Gamecocks are cruising behind a potential top-5 NFL Draft pick.

Currently watching the women play. Heated second half between Carleton and British Columbia.
@sickoscommittee.org what no coverage of the College Ultimate Championship on ESPNU? Carleton won the men’s championship and the women are playing BC in the championship on live. We even got a Daddy’s Money crowd chant at Carleton.

Win or lose, Kamala Harris is a quality candidate who has run a near-flawless race. One tell for this is a dog that hasn’t barked: Republicans abjectly failed at finding or even ginning up any real scandal on her.

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes.com management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Mass deportation is not housing policy, and I’ll yell you something else; it’s not immigration policy either. It’s white grievance policy.

This is some more incredible work by @propublica.org focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism.

This sounds all high-minded until you remember that millions have relatives and friends whom Vance and his running mate plan to deport. Journalists they want to prosecute. Loved ones they’ve called “the enemy within.” Neighbors they claim “poison the country’s blood.”
So no. Fuck that.

i know it's so tempting for all you savvy skeeters who read prestige newspapers every day to assume the rest of the country is doing the same. and as someone who works for a newspaper i wish it were true! but it just ain't. the reason trump is teflon is bc his voters don't read or believe the news.
