I’ve been a fan of mike kafka (and calling him “the cockroach”) since i saw him come into east lansing with northwestern and whoop my spartans.

him elevating jameis for his head-coaching debut has the potential to be absolute cinema

minutes after halting trading on all your shares and postponing your earnings report, on a thursday afternoon, is a heck of a time to send out a marketing email titled “did someone say black friday??” advertising sales “up to 90% off”

i like that this piece is balanced, because the boomer phonics militia usually misses this bit: “sounding it out” by itself isn’t reading.

as an 80s baby, i was surrounded by kids who could decode & speak whole sentences in a stilted monotone, while understanding/retaining literally zero of it

-1.0 rushing yards over expected per carry. coming into tonight, he’d been turning however many yards’ worth of blocking into one yard less than that, every carry, every game, all season so far.

also he’s been the best receiving back and no. 2’s not close

he hasn’t gotten a single mvp vote in either of the last two years. there are reasons for that, and i can accurately connect them to my experience of having watched his entire career, *and* what i saw at the end of the vikings game, without having watched every single snap as it happened

this exchange here is everything.

klein: “how do democrats win? run pro-life candidates in red states.”

coates; “wait—reproductive rights are electorally popular, even in red states”

klein: “well, the consultants making these decisions would rather listen to the focus groups they hand-picked”

i see people saying “try caffeine first!” but like this was me in high school and it was in no way healthier lololol
