Man. It's one thing for OSU to be sore losers, but it's another, thing entirely for a state lawmaker to introduce legislation. What laughable nonsense.
A GOP Ohio lawmaker introduced the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act, which would make it a felony to plant a flag in the center of Ohio Stadium
Lawmaker wants to make flag planting illegal at Ohio Stadium after Michigan fight
The move comes after a fight broke out between Ohio State University and Michigan players after the Wolverines tried to plant a flag on OSU's field.

I suppose I've picked a good year to try to get my life back. Everyone, hope for me that I don't fall flat on my face, or I'll have a broken face *and* no way to pay for it!
If Medicaid faces federal cuts, “state officials would have to decide whether they want to cut health care for pregnant women, kids, people with disabilities, or seniors because that is essentially who Medicaid covers in Texas,” said one advocate.

If Trump Makes Cuts to Medicaid, Texas Officials Could Seize the Opportunity to Further Slash the Program
State leaders have shown a decadeslong antipathy toward the health insurance program. If Trump makes severe reductions, it’s unlikely leaders would have the political will to make up any lost federal…

As someone in IT... please, don't do this kind of PC rental. At all. Ever. If you or someone you know is though, send the rental back and cut your losses. Buy parts and call a friend, or even get something from Best Buy instead.

While that $11k price tag is due to Chinese government subsidies, I wouldn't mind seeing similar here, if it meant we could buy inexpensive EVs from domestic automakers.
Electric cars in China sell for as little as $11k apnews.com/article/chin... Just think, if we removed tariffs we could save tens of thousands on buying cars and put Elon Musk out of business. I wonder if DOGE will recommend this.
Small, well-built Chinese EV called the Seagull poses a big threat to the US auto industry
The car, Seagull, launched last year by Chinese automaker BYD, sells for around $12,000 in China.

The question shouldn't be *can* they. Of course they can. The question should be *will* they, and the answer to that is a resounding no... no they won't.

It's not just "the left" leaving *Twitter*. Academics are leaving. Scientists are leaving. People who genuinely care about the truth, rather than the lies others want them to believe, are all coming here. In this way, "the right" has created its own problem.
As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site, @alibreland.bsky.social writes. But the right needs liberals on X in order to push conservative perspectives into the mainstream.

The X exodus is weakening a way for conservatives to speak to the masses.

I'd love to move to Norway and have my own farm. Granted, I'm not a farmer, and the few times I've tried to grow anything has gone sideways, but hey... eventually I'll get it right (maybe)!
